Zhong Yu thought about it for a while, considering that his injury was still very serious, and his strength was seriously weakened.
If we really fight against the drinking boy, we really don’t have much confidence.
If these four warriors join, the chances of winning will definitely increase. As for killing this drunken boy, it was easy to capture him and he was sure of victory.
After all, it is related to his first battle to become famous in the entire Yamamoto County and even Dewa Country, so it is right to be cautious.
Otherwise, if you really capsize in the gutter and lose this battle, it will be extremely detrimental to your future reputation.
The next day, when the sun rose and its rays once again shone on the land, Zhong Yu and his party walked towards the dense forest that looked like tigers and leopards in the distance under the strange eyes of the surrounding villagers.
Among the four warriors who followed Zhong Yu this time, two grew up locally and were quite familiar with the terrain of the dense forest.
Even more familiar than ordinary hunters, because hunters are not strong enough and dare not go deep into the dense forest.
But they are warriors, not only powerful, but also local natives. They also know how to avoid some poisonous snakes and beasts, so they can go deeper into the dense forest.
Under the guidance of these two warriors, Zhong Yu and his party quickly wandered around in the dense forest, walked three or four miles, and reached deep into the center of the dense forest.
Finally, the skill stopped outside the entrance of a stone cave in the center of the dense forest.
The entrance to the cave looked pitch-black from the outside in, with no sunlight visible. There were gusts of cold wind blowing out again, and it was bitingly cold. The howling sound of the dark wind was extremely strange, and one could tell at a glance that this cave was not a good place to be.
"Sir, right in front of you is the cave where the drinking boy is. For so many years, the drinking boy has been here and has never moved his nest."
Zhong Yu heard the warrior's prompt and nodded, staring closely into the cave.
Shuten Doji
Zhong Yu couldn't help but think about the origin of this Shuten boy.
It is said that Shuten Doji was a child who was greedy for alcohol. After getting drunk, he fell into a vat where adults were brewing wine, and was drowned by the wine.
After death, the ghost lingers, then attaches itself to the corpse, and finally forms this Shuten boy.
Because he was a child when he died, Tuntongzi was not very mentally sound and loved playing with his peers.
However, after all, he is a ghost, so how can he be accepted by children of the same age? Often when I see him, I am so frightened that I cry and look for my parents.
Under the long-term discriminatory treatment, Shuten Doji's mind gradually became distorted, and finally developed to the point where he liked to eat those children as revenge for them not playing with him.
This is roughly how the Shuten boy in front of me was formed.
However, it is estimated that it has been at least more than 30 years since he was formed, and he has eaten more than 300 children. Over the years, his strength has become extremely terrifying.
Even if the cultivation speed of monsters and monsters is far less than that of humans, their accumulation can at least push their own cultivation to the second level.
Therefore, Shuten Doji is most likely a second-level master who has cultivated a body of demonic power, which is very terrifying.
However, although Shuten Doji is terrifying, Zhong Yu himself is not inferior.
Not only has his cultivation level returned to the second level, but his own realm is still there. With sixth level vision, it really is not easy to deal with a mere second level person.
so…
"You're a drunken boy, you're a demon. Now that I'm here to attack you, why don't you wash your neck quickly, give me your head, and surrender?"
Zhong Yu gave a loud shout and shouted directly into the cave.
However, there was no sound coming from the cave, and for a long time, it was still peaceful.
Zhong Yu's face looked a little ugly, and Tun Tongzi dared to ignore him like this. This was not only a challenge to his majesty, but also represented that Shuton Tongzi's wisdom had grown to a certain level.
Because a child, no matter how outstanding his intelligence is, is still weak in character and easily provoked by others.
Not to mention demons like Shuten Doji who like to drink, are usually careless and irritable, and have unstable minds.
Now that it refuses to come out, it presumably knows that since the people outside dare to attack him, they must have certain strength, so it plans to hide in the cave and observe secretly.
By the way, he planned to introduce people from outside into the cave and conduct a sneak attack on his own site. With this kind of resourcefulness, it can no longer be regarded as the wisdom of a child.
It seems that after more than 30 years of growth, his mind has gradually become more aligned with adults.
In this case, it would be impossible to think of dealing with a child like before, irritating Shuten Doji, and then luring it out of the cave to fight on the plain with a wide view at the entrance of the cave.
In this case, we must think of a plan to lure him out.
Otherwise, if they really follow Shuten Douji's path and enter the cave, who knows what dangerous mechanisms may be in the cave, and there may even be branching tunnels to separate them, which is an extremely dangerous thing.
"Sir, this Shuten boy refuses to come out, what should we do? Should we go into the cave to attack him?"
At this time, a warrior next to Zhong Yu asked, with some worry on his face, obviously afraid that Zhong Yu really wanted to do this.
"No, it's too dangerous to go into the cave to attack. It's like falling into Shuten Douji's trap. You can't do this."
Zhong Yu turned his eyes to the warrior who asked, shook his head and refused.
"Then how should we let Shuten Douji come out? When there is a threat, it seems that he will only hide in the cave and it is impossible to come out. Should we just flee back to the village in despair?"
Another warrior next to him questioned, his tone a bit sharp.
He originally did not agree with this crusade. If he was not born in this small mountain village, it would be impossible for him to fully understand how deeply the villagers who grew up in this mountain village hate the drinking boy.
"The cave where Shuten-douji is located is just inside a small hill. This small hill is not high, more than 30 meters, and covers a very small area.
Judging from the dark wind that just blew out of the cave, this cave should have some other ventilation holes in addition to the entrance.
We just need to find the vent, block it, put smoke in the hole, and blow the smoke in. Kaoru can also smoke this Shuten boy to death. Then I won’t be afraid that he won’t come out. "
Zhong Yu thought for a while and told him the strategy he had just come up with through the observation form.
"As expected of you, sir, with a noble birth. He came up with this plan in such a short time. He is indeed extraordinary."
The two samurai from the mountain village beside him quickly flattered Zhong Yu after hearing what he said.
Unlike the other two samurai from other places, they hated Shuten Doji no less than the villagers.
Even because he is a samurai, he has greater force than the villagers. But he failed to protect the villagers, and instead had to compromise with these monsters.
He hated Shuten Doji even more, thinking that he had deeply hurt their dignity as a samurai.
