On the tenth day after arriving in this world, Zhong Yu got up and left the mountain village.
That's right, the mountain village that Zhong Yu first arrived at was called Shanxia Village. True to its name, it was a village located at the foot of the mountain.
However, Zhong Yu did not leave forever. Instead, he headed towards the hills next to Shanxia Village and entered the dense forests of the mountains to pursue his goal.
Those who have achieved great things since ancient times must have a name if they want to conquer the world.
Regardless of whether you have a bad reputation, a good reputation, or a prestigious reputation, you must first have a reputation to let the world know that a person like you exists.
Only in this way will people come to seek refuge with you, and if you occupy a territory, you will not be looked down upon by others.
Just like Liu Bei during the Three Kingdoms period, he was homeless for most of his life and was driven away like a lost dog, running around.
But he has a reputation for benevolence and righteousness, and he is the orthodox imperial uncle of the Han Dynasty. He is born with a reputation for righteousness. The whole world knows that there is a person like Uncle Liu.
So no matter how miserable he is, as long as he can escape to a safer and more stable place, there will be a steady stream of people coming to seek refuge, and Liu Bei can quickly regroup.
And Zhong Yu, when he first came to this world, lacked such a status.
If Zhong Yu had tens of thousands of troops under his command before and relied directly on his overwhelming strength to suppress everything, then naturally there would be no need to worry about reputation. As long as the strength is there, everything will fall into place.
Just like in the world of Mingyue during the Qin Dynasty, the power of the Yu Kingdom made everyone in the world feel awe, and a steady stream of people came to join them, making the Yu Kingdom become stronger and stronger.
But today's Zhong Yu naturally does not meet this condition.
He was seriously injured all over his body, and his strength was extremely low. The communication with his own world had been discontinued and was extremely weak. He could only sense this little bit.
Under such conditions, it is unrealistic to think about crossing countless space barriers and bringing 5,000 troops from his own small world here.
So Zhong Yu now needs a title, a title that makes people awe and follow him in their hearts.
And the best way to gain such a reputation is with one word, kill.
Of course, just killing some ordinary people will have no effect at all. If you want to kill, you must kill some strong people.
Killing strong people also depends on the target. If it is some humans, every strong person basically has a force to rely on.
Therefore, if you kill the wrong person, it is easy for the younger one to do it and the older one will do it. The older one will attract a large group of people to beat him up, and then he will punch the old master to death.
Zhong Yu's methods are endlessly changing, and there is nothing he can do if he can't use them.
Therefore, his best targets are scattered ghosts similar to those demons.
These demons are extremely scattered, wary of each other and hostile to each other, and it is impossible to unite together.
So if you kill them, you won't face the risk of group fights.
Moreover, the demon caused harm to the neighbors and was feared and deeply hated by the surrounding villagers.
If you can finally kill these evil demons, you will definitely gain the gratitude and admiration of the villagers from the bottom of their hearts.
In this way, we can lay a solid public foundation for ourselves to accept this area in the future.
Those village lords are not as kind as Zhong Yu.
Although they were not afraid of those demons, they did not have the extra thought to exterminate them, thus losing their own strength in vain.
Because if you encounter a hard idea on the way to encircle and suppress demons, you will lose too much strength. Then the family to which you belong is very likely to be destroyed by the enemy, and the gain outweighs the loss.
Therefore, those lords have always let the monsters go as they please. As long as they don't go too far, they will kill dozens of villagers in a year, but the lords will turn a blind eye and ignore them at all.
Of course, those demons who want to slaughter the village, no matter how unwilling the lord is, will definitely send troops to exterminate them. This has already threatened the foundation of the lord's rule.
Moreover, after killing the demon, Zhong Yu's reputation for bravery could quickly spread throughout the village through word of mouth.
By this time, his reputation had reached its peak.
With fame and a certain degree of gratitude in the hearts of the people, with these two most important points, Zhong Yu can pull the banner at any time and establish his own banner.
Therefore, Zhong Yu asked many villagers in the village where there were monsters in the evil countryside around, and then he prepared to go and exterminate them.
At first, the villagers were shocked when they heard what Zhong Yu meant and quickly tried to dissuade him.
After all, all the guardians of their village have been killed. If they finally leave and another demon comes to cause trouble, then they will have no one to protect them.
The middle-aged man in the village had long reported the news that the village was being attacked by demons to their superior lords, the Dongping family.
But for some reason, the Tohei family, which was supposed to quickly send samurai to take over as village guardians, has still not made any movement after nearly ten days, as if they don't know what is going on here.
This kind of silence made the villagers in the village feel scared, and they became more and more dependent on Zhong Yu, a strong man.
Now that they heard that Zhong Yu wanted to leave, out of concern for their own lives, how could they agree. Moreover, as their savior, he was also worried about Zhong Yu's safety.
Among them, the woman who is most worried about not letting go is Kazumiko.
Because of Zhong Yu's protection before, although many people in the village coveted her, they did not dare to take any action. Instead, she was quite respectful, even more respectful than before when her husband was around.
Now that Zhong Yu is leaving, he is the first one to feel the crisis. He Miko is not only afraid that he will never come back, but also afraid that Zhong Yu will be in the hands of those monsters. At that time, their family will really have nothing to rely on.
The fate that followed was extremely miserable.
However, Zhong Yu had already decided to leave, and there was nothing these villagers could do to stop him. And he also made it clear to them that he was only going out for a day or two.
After slaying the demon, he will return, not really leaving the village.
Therefore, although the villagers were helpless, they could only tell Zhong Yu where the demons were raging, and let him go to exterminate them and spread their reputation.
After leaving the village, Zhong Yu climbed over three or four hills and drove for more than a day to a rather dark forest.
The woods are overgrown with weeds and animals are rampant, and venomous snakes and beasts can often be seen.
Next to the deep forest is a small village.
The scale of this small village is much larger than that of Shanxia Village. There are more than 50 houses and a population of more than 200 people. It can be considered a big village.
And deep in the forest, there is a monster unique to the island country named Tonju Doji.
