Sungsang Geni opened his eyes as the sun began to sit directly above his head. The bright sunlight dashed all over his wound-filled body, making him grimace in pain. He had thought that the battle had just finished a few hours ago, but in reality, Sungsang Geni had been 2 days unconscious.
The young man spontaneously stirred when a grunting voice was nearby. He retreated a few steps, while there was a movement behind the weeds that formed waves and moved towards him.
But the shock was soon lost after seeing 3 brang-brangs appeared. Seeing Sungsang Geni, the fish-eating animal turned its direction and entered the lake. A large lake with blue water.
His right arm began to absorb the sun energy without the young man realizing it. He only regained consciousness after his arm emitted a golden color.
Sungsang Geni was surprised that his arm had changed slightly. It was still arm-shaped indeed, but its skin looked slightly transparent, revealing veins filled with reddish-yellow energy.
“What happened to my hand?” sungsang Geni said, he tried to create a fire, but unfortunately nothing happened from the snap of his finger. “This is weird? why become like this? I feel like I'm dreaming while chasing Banduwati.”
Sungsang Geni groped his entire wound-filled body, now it had started to stop bleeding, but as Sungsang Geni moved more aggressively the wounds all over his body reopened.
"It's so bad!" muttered.
A great thirst led him to walk near the lake. It took a few minutes to arrive at the lip of the lake with his body condition now. Sungsang Geni drank a few stands, he also slightly washed his face.
3 Sword wound incisions, visible to him in the shadow of clear water.3 incisions that make his eyes almost break, because one of the incisions split the eyelid until the lower lid. And two other incisions split from the middle of the forehead to the right ear.
He thought for a moment, could it be that people would still know him with this kind of wound? Sungsang Geni decided to sit by the lake, now he could not do much because his physical energy and inner power had not yet recovered.
The only energy there was, fire in his right arm but now he couldn't even make a spark from the flick of his index finger.
"The reason must be the sword spirit!" he looked back at his once-diminished right arm "I have to find something to cover this arm, or else it will concern everyone."
Even after being held, the texture of the skin is harder than before.not only hard but also slightly slippery, the texture of this arm is almost like a sword watu kencana.
In the young man's contention, an object fell out of his hollow pocket. Black with the words 'Shadows'.
“This is the badge of the swordsman.” What Sungsang Geni imagined was Yunirda, the vice commander of the Demon Bats who could use the shadow sword technique, “Is this the foot of Mount Semeru?”
Sungsang Geni quickly noticed the map behind the badge, the map with small and fine carvings, if not for the young man's eyes being so sharp, he wouldn't have been able to read it.
The first point was a large circle, Sungsang Geni compared it to the lake before his eyes, which was surrounded with quite high hills.
“So this is the lake? either coincidence or fate but our battle took me to this place.” Sungsang Geni looked at the map and returned to pay attention to the lake.
The lake was very wide indeed, Sungsang Geni could not find a single object at the opposite end other than a fairly high stretch of hill. Green hill is beautiful.
“What is this?” He found something, quite strange. He had a view down the edge of the lake but did not find anything written on the map, “I have to look for it, if this map is true, he should be on the north side now.”
“Air tide may be the cause, until it erodes this monument.” Thought the young man.
He looked back at the map, there was a straight line of a small monument that cut ¼ lakes and stopped at a hill the smallest but also the most arid among other heavily forested hills.
“Line stops on that hill.” Sungsang Geni said, the young man looked back at the map, but the carvings, which were seen as roads, did not come from the hill there, nor a small monument nearby.
“This is so strange, why this straight line is made, what does it do? And why there is no straight line relationship with the road that will be passed.” Sungsang Geni said in doubt, “Did he lie to me? no, I'm sure he's telling the truth. It's possible..”
The young man's words came to a halt after realizing something. He squinted his eyes looking from behind the small monument to the arid hill, and finally found a clue.
“The hill is its entrance, this line indicates that the hill is the first travel point.” Sungsang Geni said a little cheerful, because he could solve the puzzle.
If the hill is a door or starting point of the journey, where is the door? This is not the same as the visible zambala gate because it is surrounded with an illusionary mist. The door in question is not on the map....
“That door is there!” Sungsang Geni was glued, he was happy to be able to solve his puzzle, but also a little sad to realize that he did not have the ability to swim, “That door is in the lake, how do I get to that door?”

The news of the attack of the Demon Bats to the Serpent Valley College had been a hot topic for a week. Some small colleges are becoming a little afraid of facing threats from the criminal group.
They have to plan something, of course. If a College as big as the Snake Valley alone could be overwhelmed to face the Demon Bats what else with other small colleges?
Some people regretted the carelessness committed by the Snake Valley to make their Country in the fall. But what caught their attention the most, was the Young King helping out the Snake Valley.
Two days after the news spread, some small colleges intend to close the ranks with the Golden Hill College. During this time each college almost runs alone.
College number 2 is the largest today after the position of the Valley of Snakes, White Tiger, also began to show its response by meeting the invitation held by the Golden Hill college.
Their characters were a little louder than the Snake Valley but with the arrival they fulfilled the invitation of the Golden Hill, indicating that they were also worried about the same.
The first college to visit was the Snake Valley, of course they were. Because the Snake Valley will live in the Golden Hill region, until the world conditions slightly improve. That means, the Golden Hill will indirectly get the help of the power from the Snake Valley.
Some people are of the view that Darma Cokro took advantage of the Snake Valley's decline for his own benefit, giving politics only to gain more.
But of course they are free to assume what it looks like, the most important thing is that now the Snake Valley is a little protected from the threat of its enemies.
“Viper Valley Leader, Sabdo Jagat Said Darma Cokro, welcoming the arrival of the Swordsmen of the Snake Valley, “Welcome to our land, Golden Hill.”
Before Sabdo Jagat answered Darma Cokro's words, several groups suddenly came from behind while mocking. “Now the Valley of Snakes lost its fangs!”
