SURO BLEDEK
Ch. 269 Islands in the Middle of the Lake
Why did Suro previously rush off after Mbah Wiro finished telling the story, because the white-haired man and almost all his toothless tooth had mentioned the name of someone he knew.
From the name that makes Suro more confident, if there is movement of followers of the Dark Gods around the area. Mbah Wiro was surprised by the reaction shown Suro, after he mentioned the name. Suro's eyes glared like they were full of anger hearing the name mentioned.
Because since the question of the news of the attack of terrible creatures around the area was justified by Mbah Wiro, Suro was made so enthusiastic to listen to the whole story.
The old man confirmed there had been an attack in the area. But he did not know what creature had carried out the abduction. He then told me.
"So, sir, it is true that there have been kidnappings, but the kidnapped are babies. That incident certainly made the entire society terrified."
"But not only this village, it has hit the entire area surrounding the large lake on the edge of this village. And it's been going on since a few full moons ago. Probably almost three full moons ago."
"Genesis after the incident actually felt very strange. No one knows who actually committed the kidnapping. The culprit himself is not known what he looks like?"
"The incident had caused a stir and sparked fear that enveloped the entire region surrounding the great lake was the master swordsman. Because every mother who gives birth to a baby in the area around here, must cry because of the loss of the baby."
"But what makes the whole community confused, is when is the baby taken? How do I take their baby? And where's the baby that's been taken?"
"For the baby will disappear quickly without being able to trace it again. All the confusion somehow, even when it happened no one saw the culprit."
"Tens of babies have been victims. Some even say, if this time has reached the number of hundreds of babies who have been lost to kidnapping."
"Nobody knows where the disappearance of so many babies goes? But there are events that might just be a clue for the swordsman master to investigate."
"It is only before master swordsman investigates this place that I will mention, should master swordsman hear until I finish my explanation."
According to Mbah Wiro after the news of the loss of a baby began to spread, the fishermen who were looking for fish in the lake, several times heard baby cries from the island in the middle of the lake.
The island in the middle of the lake is for residents around famous wingit or haunted. So it is very rare for anyone to dare to approach let alone enter the island.
After several times many who experience the same thing, namely hearing the cry of a baby, then some people finally ventured to try to find out it.
But as they approached the island, a very terrible event occurred. Suddenly their bodies floundered like a fish lifted from the water. Their mouths then froth in green. After that they died almost simultaneously.
Their bodies then turned blue and rotted, although the dead man had not been around for a day. Even those who held their bodies died of poisoning.
Finally those who died on the boat were burned or destroyed along with the boat. It was very difficult for the fishermen. Since then, no one has dared to approach the island.
"Because of the incident that's why the uncle has suspicions that the mastermind behind the abduction of the baby is on the island. If the swordsman wants to know who is behind the kidnapping, the uncle suggests going to the island. It's just that the place that uncle mentioned is very dangerous."
"Is there anything else that might help me investigate the abduction of that many babies, uncle? Something that might be related to the dark creatures?"
"Awhile master swordsman, hearing the term dark creature, it seems like uncle has heard someone call it?"
Mbah Wiro then recalled the incident almost two full moon ago when he accidentally heard the conversation of some people who were eating at his residence. According to the explanation Mbah Wiro his guest was wearing clothes that had a picture of a red skull.
"It was from them that uncle heard the term that master swordsman mentioned just now, namely the creature of darkness. Uncle also heard them mention the name of someone who made them forced to come to this area."
"Who's the name of someone who made them have to go to this place, uncle?"
"If uncle doesn't wrongly remember them mentioning names? Eeeee...The devil's wand."
"Yes right uncle remembered now, they called the name of the devil's wand I'm sure that's what they called."
Suro was very surprised, like being struck by lightning. He did not know what plan the man called the Devil's Scepter was working on in this village. But Suro realizes one thing, if the enemy is making a wicked plan.
Suro after hearing the name of the devil's wand called Mbah Wiro, he was sure if the news received by the chairman of Tohjaya proved the truth. He then argues the same with Mbah Wiro's suspicion, if the devil's wand is on the island in the middle of a large lake."
Suro can immediately confirm, if the mastermind behind all the events told by Mbah Wiro has something to do with someone named the devil's wand.
Therefore, after Mbah Wiro finished telling the story, Suro immediately gave ten pieces of gold into the old man's hands. Then Suro immediately darted away, because he could not bear to immediately finish off the man called the Demon Wand.

Suro immediately darted along with Maung following the instructions of Mbah Wiro. He darted towards the middle of the vast lake. From a distance Suro immediately saw a small island in the middle of the lake.
"Meet!"
To shorten the time, Suro mustered his Maya steps. That instant he had also reached the edge of the island.
"Waduuhi! The lilaka!"
A moment after he set foot, he suddenly immediately felt danger. And Merta Maung who was beside him was grabbed and lifted onto his shoulders. A moment later he immediately darted back away from the island flying high upwards.
"What was that? I seemed to feel an extremely perverted aura of darkness emanating from within the forest in the middle of this island."
"In addition it seems that I also found a cause, why the residents who were about to investigate the sound of baby crying from inside this island all ended in death. It must have been the fog that caused the deaths of the inhabitants."
"The fog is very poisonous. I don't know why this mist feels familiar to me?"
When Suro stared from a height that Suro immediately realized, it turned out that the island was very large, although previously from a distance Suro saw it just like a small island.
"Open your mouth, Maung!" Suro threw two Pill grains into the tiger's mouth.
After not a while Suro again darted down. He headed to the edge of the island where the fog was still very thin. Luckily, both of them immediately swallowed a powerful antidote, so they were not exposed to the effects of the poison, such as the fate of the residents who tried to approach the island.
Suro reacts as before, as he realizes that the poison is deadly. That's why he immediately kept the big tiger away, so as not to be harmed by the effects of the poison and ensure it by giving the antidote. After giving the antidote, he was sure that his best friend would remain safe for some time to come.
"Wait here Maung, don't try to follow me."
After being able to make sure the tiger did not follow him, Suro began to run into the forest that filled the entire part of the island.
"Devil's wand! I know you're hiding on this island! This time I'll finish you off! Don't dream of escaping me!" Suro shouted loudly as his body flashed between the branches of a very lush tree. He deliberately did not go directly to the middle of the island, because he wanted to explore all parts of the island.
The forest that fills the island is very tight, because it is rarely touched by humans. Suro kept trying to go deeper through the trees. He was actually curious how the poisonous mist that was in the middle of the island could be so dense. Even make the fog spread throughout the island and the air that is above the lake waters adjacent to the island.
As he moved quickly, suddenly a beam of light struck towards Suro.
Bldaaar!
