Jaga Saksena Pendekar Peniup Bledeg
Chapter 5. Cannibal Tribe

Undeterred, back a huge black figure muttered through the spell.

Bulls! Concentrated smoke blows.

"Son of man! Lookatme! Aren't I more handsome than you?!"

Keep Saksena who almost closed her eyes again, then said ogah-ogahan, he said,

"Basar belis goblok! How can your eyes not see the ugly pitch-black shape of your own body?! Never mind, don't bother me anymore. I want a tiduuuurr!"

"W-how can you?!" stammered the belis.

'My magic really had no effect on her at all. Who exactly is this kid?! Wait, you'll worship me later. For now you can win! But the future is mine. Ahhaha!'

The black shadow disappeared.

"Just disturb!" gerutu Jaga Saksena's.

Keep Saksena since childhood live in the middle of an isolated island surrounded by a large river. Not only once he and Byung were visited by subtle creatures who tried to interfere.

From the form of a large dark, white, bloody, small round-naked plontos, smoke, small high above the tree, flying women, floating fire, an unbodied head, and more.

However, Byung always taught that "Human beings are the most perfect creatures, never fear the jinn, on the belis, on those who are invisible. They are just lowly creatures that will grieve, disturb us. To lead us into error."

That's why, Jaga Saksena never felt afraid.

Pluck up! Tetiba the boy hit his own seat.

"Why did I forget? Shouldn't I be looking for the fire I saw last night?!"

Keep Saksena immediately forget the black figure that had disturbed her to then put eyes looking towards the north.

"Maybe what I saw yesterday was just a mute bellis or even banaspati!" he murmured after a long time to not find what he was looking for.

Belis kemamang is the appearance of a floating fire, while banaspati is a belis that has a fire figure.

In a reot hut in a middle-of-the-jungle settlement, an elderly grandmother was sitting cross-legged.

In front of the grandmother was a skull of an animal that had two horns.

"Sati!"

Suddenly a voice from the horned skull called out the name of the grandmother.

Instantly, the old granny opened her eyes.

"My Lord, servant here." The grandmother's voice was raucous, her sunken eyes staring obediently at the source of the voice that called out to her just now.

"There will come a boy. Catch him, make an offering for me. But you can't stab him alive. Just tie his body to a cross and prepare firewood. I'll come straight to receive your offering!"

Instantly an old granny named Seti sparkled eyes. It has been a long time _since he became the successor shaman of the old shaman who has died because of age _Seti requested that the deity show himself in front of the citizens but only granted tonight.

In order to increase his prestige, as well as for the citizens to respect him more, Seti has done many things. Healing the sick, divining, seeing the invisible, laughing at lost things and so on. But all of this has not satisfied everyone. Because the son of the chieftain and some of his friends wanted to see the form of the Baghala directly.

The Baghala was the god of darkness that they worshipped all along. The god who _according to the hereditary shaman_ rules over every darkness. At night, when the thick comes, there the god is in full power. Whatever they ask for will be granted by them.

Seti performed a worship gesture several times on the horned skull before him while saying,

Seti tetiba's body collapsed before starting to slowly sling. Both of the grandmother's legs opened wide, the furniture cover was revealed and then released out of nowhere.

******* sound enjoyment barging through the silence of the night. But who cares. If there is, then they _the residents of this settlement_ will not dare. For all knew, the shaman was the servant of the Baghala. Anyone who dares to approach when he hears the strange sound, will be cursed.

**

The morning arrived, with hair awut disheveled, Seti met the chief and told the orders of Lord Baghala last night.

"So the sacrifice will be made?! And the Baghala will show us his form at the time of the sacrifice?!"

"You don't have to worry, Chief!" Seti grinned showing his row of foul smelling black teeth. "Don't I tell you, the offering is a boy coming. It's not like you usually have to look for or from your own citizens!"

The ritual of sacrifice _as the fire was seen last night by Jaga Saksena_ is held by the tribe of flesh eaters every thirty-five nights.

They would perform a massive worship ritual while roasting a sacrificed human being. After the worship ritual was over, they would eat the roasted human flesh together.

The self-sacrificed humans they captured from other tribes. So the chieftain had a special team of hunters consisting of eleven people. They will go hunting after seven days of sacrifice.

If this particular team fails to get the game, or has not returned on the night of the ritual, then the offerings will be replaced. Seti and my clan head will determine who among its citizens will be made a substitute offering.

"When did the boy come?!" ask the chief.

"I think in the near future, if not today then tomorrow. Command your men to set traps in some places. And tell them to stand guard during the night. And tell your heir's son that his wish will be granted!"

"I'll do! He must be happy to hear this! Hehehehe!"

***

Keep Saksena keep going, now in her heart no longer eager to meet the humans immediately.

"Here you go, take this journey in a relaxed manner. If the time comes I will meet them."

Occasionally Keep Saksena membantukan wood axe to reveal the road.

The forest is truly virgin, sometimes foreign voices are heard in the trees. Spooky, scary. But it all did not attract the attention of Jaga Saksena let alone scare her.

The boy continued walking, this time hoping for a river so he could catch a fish.

'From the first time you left the river, why is there no river today?!' ask your heart to look after Saksena.

A question he could not answer even if he asked an adult.

'Instead of hoping for something I might never meet, I would rather eat whatever I can eat! Nah! The mushroom!'

Enlarged eyelids Keep Saksena. On a fallen tree and beginning to rot, there are many brownish-white fungi flourishing.

Keep Saksena reminded of having eaten this plant with Byung, and it tastes good. He did not hesitate to eat it.

"Nilmm! Nice and fresh!" Keep Saksena eating raw mushrooms.

It didn't take long for the boy to finish off all the mushrooms, greedy, as if he would never eat again.

However,

'Oh ... oh... What is this? Why does the universe feel spinning? Oh why do fireflies surround my head?!'
