The Sun Warrior's
Saving A Girl
After traveling about 500 miles on horseback, Fujin and the two soldiers reached the Asuka countryside. The village looks like a country in general.
It's just that the Asuka countryside looks more lonely because at this time the sky has turned orange, indicating that dusk has arrived. So that almost all residents began to be in the house and lock it tightly.
None of them dared to stay outdoors since the Jorogumo demon began attacking the Asuka countryside and took some casualties.
After welcoming Fujin's arrival in the main hall of rural Asuka, the residents completely returned to their respective homes. And now Fujin only along with some residents and elders who happen to also be monitoring the Asuka countryside which lately is getting an attack from the Jorogumo monster.
"Jorogumo's smile often changes her appearance to that of a woman to tempt the men in Asuka village then eat it. Many say if you want to see the original form of the Jorogumo demon when disguised is to display it in a mirror, because the reflection of its original form will be seen in the mirror." said one of the elders while they were talking together.
"Jorogumo's stealth is very strong and immune to any poison. His strength is amazing. Actually Jorogumo stealth has a beautiful color and large and strong webs. Their names even have a unique meaning when they are written in Kanji which means female trappers." added the old man again explained.
"Jorogumo's smile has always lived alone. But the age of this demon should have reached 400 years. Because when Jorogumo's demon can reach 400 years old, then they are said to have supernatural powers and begin to descend into the city to prey on humans, as he has done today. Usually the demon will make nests in caves, forests or even in empty houses not far from the city. They have a cunning intelligence and a cold heart, and they see humans only as prey. But none of us dared to examine the caves and forests near the valley of flowers" said one of the elders.
"They are known as master con men and can change their form perfectly to fool their prey. And usually they will appear as young, sexy and beautiful women who are extraordinary. His target is a young and handsome man who is looking for love. When the demon Jorogumo sees a man he wants, he invites the man to his house and if the man is tempted and leaves the man will never be seen again." said one of the Asuka villagers who was still there with them.
"They can even pull out silk threads without being seen to entrap the adult men so that they will no longer be able to escape from it. They also have a powerful poison that can slowly weaken their prey. This demon can also control a small spider to help it. They teased the samurai and made him unable to return." added one of the middle-aged male residents who was none other than the leader of Asuka village.
"Has no living witness ever seen him in person?" fujin asked, starting to ask.
"There, first Prince Fujin. I saw him a few days ago. When I came home from the village. I accidentally saw the demon carrying a young man in a cave behind a valley of flowers. The size of the demon's body was almost three meters. But some say they can grow much bigger as they age" said a middle-aged man who was shriveled and goosebumps when he recalled the demon.
"so yeah. Their target is the young people. Alright. That means I have to go to the valley of flowers to check out the cave and the forest" Fujin said intending to leave this place immediately and go to the valley of flowers.
"But, the first Prince Fujin .. the day is getting dark. And the prince had also just arrived in the Asuka countryside. Wouldn't we better check on eaok instead? At least the first prince Fujin can rest first." said one of the soldiers who went along with him.
"can't. The sooner it is handled, the better. We can't let it go much longer. What if tonight he goes back to targeting Asuka rural youth again? I'll harys move immediately!" fujin said to leave immediately.
"Elder, village chief, I'll be leaving right now. Excuse me." Fujin gave her farewell and immediately left the place.

Under the dim moonlight, finally Fujin and the two soldiers who accompanied him had arrived at a valley filled with beautiful flower beds as the name suggests, flower valleys.
And actually their purpose was to check out a large cave or forest that was behind this flower valley.
But suddenly the flowers around them emit a sparkling light and fragrant. And when Fujin looked back, he had not seen the whereabouts of the two palace soldiers who had been sharing with him.
"Yoyasu!! Hidemitsu!!" Fujin tried to summon the two soldiers until his roaring voice filled the entire valley of flowers, but he did not listen to their answers.
"Damn! I'm breathless! Don't let them get caught by Jorogumo's demon! And may they realize this illusion!" fujin muttered trying to leave this place back.
Suddenly, Fujin begins to hear the voice of a girl asking for help.
Please ... someone help me .. please ...
Fujin's forehead shriveled for a few seconds and he refocused his hearing to look for the source of the sound. Then he quickly darted to the source of the sound, and found a girl who almost fell in the abyss.
Fujin quickly came to him to help him immediately. He reached out his hand without hesitation to help the girl climb back up, until she was saved.
"Is miss okay? Why did the lady get to be in this place and almost fall like that?" fujin asked with a flat expression.
The girl who was actually very beautiful looked gloomy and sad. He looked at the valley of flowers before him with a pushy gaze and then started to tell stories.
"I came to look for my brother who disappeared 2 days ago. He hasn't come back since. The residents are also being electrified by the Jorogumo demon. They said it was possible that my brother had been entangled by the demon. But I can't believe it! Brother must be alive! That's why I came to look for my sister and wish I could find her. But I slipped and almost fell in the abyss. Thank you, sir." said the beautiful girl bowing her body to Fujin.
