Heaven Devouring Immortal Emperor

At this moment, outside the city, there were several white-browed tigers. One of them had already pounced on the last person and bit the man's neck. With just one bite, the man's neck was bitten off. The man swallowed the man's head in two bites and licked the white brain matter with his tongue. The others who had survived the disaster were all terrified. Pushing and shoving, they rushed into the city gate. The soldiers guarding the city gate were so scared that they forgot to close the gate. Seeing that the tigers were about to break into the town, a sword light flashed. The tiger head that had just eaten a man flew into the air, but a cultivator came to save him. At the same time, he shouted, "Close the gate!"    

    

The soldiers on the city wall finally realized what was going on. They quickly ran to the city wall and raised the suspension bridge.    

    

There were three city gates in the east, west, and south of Loquat County. Now that they were surrounded by all kinds of wild beasts, the thirty thousand people in the city were all terrified. They did not know what had happened, but some people had already rushed to the magistrate office to seek support.    

    

The county magistrate did not go through such a thing. He was so anxious that he was sweating profusely. He brought his men to the city wall of the south gate and looked outside. There were many wild beasts sitting around the city wall. There were wolves, bears, boars, tigers, leopards, and more than a dozen kinds. There were hundreds of them. The county magistrate had collapsed on the city wall. He happened to see a cultivator with a flying sword on his back. He quickly got up, ran over, and knelt down. "Celestial Immortal, I beg you to use Immortal Arts to drive away those beasts!"    

    

The cultivator was a young man around thirty years old. His face was gloomy. He ignored the County Magistrate and looked into the distance. There were still beasts gathering in the forest a few miles away. Without saying anything, he put his right hand together and pointed upward. The flying sword flew out from his back. He floated in the air and ordered coldly, "There are beasts coming from outside. Take care." With that, he turned into a streak of light and flew away.    

    

The County Magistrate's body trembled and he sat on the ground with a face full of despair. He didn't even care about the immortals. Could it be that there was no saving Loquat County?    

    

"Lord County Magistrate, how much food do you have in the city?" A young voice sounded in his ears. The County Magistrate hurriedly raised his head and saw that it was a young man who looked like he was sixteen or seventeen years old. The hope that he had just raised was extinguished. However, he still patiently said, "The government's granary still has 100 thousand stones of food. But there are more than 30,000 people in the city. I'm afraid that they won't be able to hold on for long."    

    

Feng Yimo nodded. He also nervously looked outside the city. There were more and more wild beasts. He was in a bad mood. With a serious expression, he said, "County Magistrate, According to the current situation, it is not a good thing for wild beasts to surround the city. I don't know how long they've been trapped for. The county magistrate's first task was to protect the water source and control the food in the city. They would distribute the food evenly and provide limited supply to each family. Then, he organized the strong young men in the city to form a hunting team. They would go all out to hunt the wild beasts, which would reduce the number of wild beasts. At the same time, they could provide meat for the trapped residents in the city, and to raise morale. If the adults lost the courage to fight, the residents would be even worse. Everyone was panicking. "There might be some sort of riot and countless casualties!"    

    

Hearing Feng Yimo's words, the county magistrate's eyes lit up. He quickly got up and bowed deeply to Feng Yimo. "Thank you for your advice, sir! I will arrange it now!"    

    

Feng Yimo saw that the county magistrate's expression was calm. He was no longer afraid. He nodded secretly. The county magistrate could be considered a figure. If he could calm down so quickly and accept admonishment, then he would help him defend Loquat County. He could walk away like the cultivator from before, but he could not bear to see tens of thousands of residents die in the stomachs of wild beasts. Previously, when he saw the red Golden Core Cultivators slaughter nearly ten thousand villagers, he was helpless. Until now, he still held a grudge, but now, he could not just stand by and watch.    

    

However, his brows were tightly knitted, and he felt a little uneasy. He was worried that demon beasts would appear. The wild beasts would not attack the county where humans lived for no reason. They did not have intelligence and could not act together. Could it be that there was someone else who knew how to drive beasts?    

    

In the city of Loquat, with the unified command of the county magistrate, the mood of the residents became much more stable. Although his orders were resisted by some big grain families, under the unanimous request of everyone, all the grain was gathered in four places in the city. They were divided into four areas. Every family had one and a half jin of grain every day, and the minors were cut in half.    

    

At the same time, they recruited strong men and formed a hunting squad. They were prepared to hunt the wild beasts that surrounded the city. Anyone who participated in the hunting squad would be given three kilos of grain per day, as well as meat. This news caused many residents to participate. The county magistrate personally checked and only recruited people between the ages of 30 and 20 who were strong and strong. They trained together and specifically targeted the content of archery training. Hunters were given priority, so it did not matter if they were older.    

    

In four hours, the county magistrate recruited a thousand strong men. Including the 300 plus soldiers in the county magistrate office, there were a total of 1,300 people. They were divided into three teams, each led by the county magistrate, the county magistrate, and the chief inspector. They would guard the south gate, east gate, and west gate respectively.    

    

On the first day, the group of beasts did not attack, but they all had bloody mouths, hideous faces, and bared their teeth. The stench was everywhere, causing the residents in the city to be extremely terrified. The courage that they had just gained had mostly dissipated.    

    

"Sir, I've already done as you instructed. What do I need to do next?" The County Magistrate came to Feng Yimo and asked humbly.    

    

"Beasts are ferocious. We need to eat when we are hungry. They are the same. We humans can work together, but they can't." Feng Yimo said calmly.    

    

The county magistrate thought for a moment and looked surprised. "Sir, do you mean to let them kill each other?"    

    

"Yes, the County Magistrate can let the three city gates attack the beasts outside at the same time. As long as there are casualties among the beasts, the smell of blood will definitely cause the other beasts to become ferocious and might kill each other. After all, they are beasts and do not know how to pity their own kind."    

    

"Sir, you have a good opinion. Your subordinate will go and prepare now!"    

    

Feng Yimo's clothes were fluttering in the wind. He stood on the high city wall, worried. His method might work, but once these animals were controlled by someone, the effect would be weakened. In one day, there were more than three thousand beasts outside the city. No one knew where they came from.    

    

In the evening, the sun was like blood, and smoke was rising from the kitchen. When they were having fun, the atmosphere of Xiao Sha was shrouded in the air above Lute County. The brave warriors who had only practiced archery for an hour stood on the city wall. They were so scared that they could not even stand properly. More than twenty hunters were the bravest. Their faces changed when they saw the groups of beasts, but they still raised the bows in their hands and prepared to shoot.    

    

"Release the arrows!"    

    

"Shoot!"    

    

"Release the arrow!"    

    

Following the orders of the County Magistrate, the County Magistrate, and the Chief Constable, 1,300 temporary archers fired at the same time. Some arrows actually shot into the air, but there were still many arrows that shot into the herd of wild beasts. The wild beasts immediately suffered casualties.    

    

Blood flowed, and the smell of blood permeated the air. Under the golden sunset, it was as if blood was weeping, and the eyes of the wild beasts turned red. Especially after a day of hunger, when they saw the corpses, they immediately pounced on them and began to bite and eat. Many wild beasts that could not be snatched stared at the injured wild beasts, and without hesitation, they pounced on them, and the cruel hunting began.
