Although these refugees used to live in towns, they often went deep into the mountains and forests to mine, collect herbs, and hunt. They were not the kind of weak scholars who had no power to tie a chicken, but they climbed up the city wall and faced the flying birds flying down. , the monster beast that rushed up the city wall was still so frightened that its legs were weak.
Just on the first day when refugees climbed onto the city wall, as many as 30% died!
The next day it was as high as 20%.
After up to 60% of the refugees died in several consecutive days, the remaining refugees became more elite.
It should be said that at this time, Fang Xiaoyue wanted to go to the city wall to see the situation.
Although Yang Feihe had the experience of coming into contact with monsters in his memory, Fang Xiaoyue still wanted to see with his own eyes what the monsters were like.
Unfortunately, just when he had this idea and was about to take advantage of the cover of night to take a look at the city wall, the beast tide receded.
Just as there was no sign when it came, there was no sign when the beast tide receded.
When they heard bursts of ecstatic cheers suddenly erupted from the city wall, everyone knew that the beast tide had receded.
As soon as the beast tide subsided, a large number of refugees began to be repatriated, and Lengmu City did not allow them to stay here any longer.
The reason is simple. It is not that the refugees will affect the order of Lengmu City, but that if the refugees do not return to the town in time, the ore and medicinal materials handed over to Xianhemen this year will not be enough.
For the cultivation managers who guard Lengmucheng, there is also a matter of performance appraisal.
If there are too few ores and medicinal materials turned in, it will not be a good thing for the cultivation managers. Just the deduction of points will make them very painful.
In short, regardless of whether the refugees want it or not, repatriation is a necessary process.
Of course, it was inevitable that some refugees would be killed when they resisted the patrolling warriors due to post-war comprehensive certificates and other reasons.
After all, in just three days, there was not a single refugee in Lengmu City. Such high efficiency meant that some unpleasantness would inevitably occur during the execution process.
But to the superior cultivation managers, these things are trivial.
Those refugees must return to the towns and must risk their lives to pick medicinal materials, mine ore, and hunt wild beasts.
But for the people of Lengmu City, the end of the beast tide also means the arrival of something.
The selection ceremony for cultivation sects to select cultivation seedlings is about to begin!
For the vast majority of families with children, this is a matter that deserves to be treated more carefully than the college entrance examination in the original world.
If you pass the selection and enter the Crane Gate, it means that the family's chickens and dogs will ascend to heaven.
As for failing to pass the selection, it means that the children of this generation are not good enough and can only count on their own grandchildren and granddaughters.
In fact, the refugees were not completely repatriated. All families with children stayed temporarily after leaving the city gate. They gathered outside the city and dug some underground caves as shelter. Their food was those abandoned by the city defense army. Unwanted beast carcass.
After all, the only ones that can be used as medicinal materials are monsters and some higher-level beasts, such as tigers, lions, bears, elephants, bison, etc.
As for those wild beasts such as deer, wolves, snakes, rabbits, etc. that were almost cannon fodder, the city defense army basically did not even look at them when cleaning the battlefield, allowing the refugees to take away some of the beast carcasses when they were repatriated.
The number of beasts that gathered during the beast tide was quite large, which allowed these refugee families to enjoy a rare and satisfying meal for a few days.
After all, even when they were in town, they couldn't eat meat all the time.
On the seventh day after the beast tide ended, both the refugee families outside the city and the families in the city gathered in the square in the center of Lengmu City.
The purpose of this square is to hold the cultivation seedling selection ceremony, so it is very large, covering an area of no less than two hundred acres.
But the square, which covers an area of 130,000 square meters, has become overcrowded at this time.
In Lengmu City alone, there are more than 10,000 families, more than 30,000 people, and there are more than 20,000 refugee families coming in from outside the city, as many as 50,000 to 60,000 people.
About 100,000 people gathered in the square, showing how crowded it was.
Fortunately, in order to ensure the smooth progress of the selection ceremony, almost all city defense troops, patrol warriors and other armed forces were present to maintain order.
At this time, order is even more important than during the beast tide.
Anyone who makes trouble will be killed with one word!
And all onlookers will be expelled from the square and their candidacy will be cancelled!
Under such cruel punishment, even the usually unruly guy had to stand there with his head down.
No way, it doesn't matter if you make trouble yourself, if your children are affected, they will die.
In the words of the original world, this is the only opportunity to advance in class in the Nancui area!
Missing this opportunity will waste a generation!
At this time, Fang Xiaoyue was also led by the old coachman and stood in the square according to the order of the streets.
No way, orphans are not allowed to participate in the selection ceremony!
Fang Xiaoyue could probably guess the reason. It was just that he was afraid of spies from other sects sneaking in.
Being an orphan means having no foundation and unclear origins.
Of course, this may not be able to eliminate all spies, but at least it is better than no such rules.
Due to the large number of people, there is a screening process before the official selection ceremony begins.
All children need to walk in front of an eye-shaped artifact.
Anyone whose physical age exceeds twelve years old will have their eyes illuminated red, and the family will be expelled from the square immediately.
Because Xianhe Sect does not recruit children over the age of 12 as disciples.
Not to mention, many children over the age of 12 were screened out, and then the whole family was kicked out in tears.
This is not surprising. In the Nancui area, if you want to tell the age of a child with the naked eye, the accuracy is still relatively low.
Because many families have relatively difficult financial circumstances, their children grow up slowly. In some towns, children who are 14 or 5 years old look like they are 10 or 11 years old.
But for the Xianhe Sect, your slow growth is not a reason to be selected. As long as you are over 12 years old, you have no chance of being selected.
When Fang Xiaoyue passed by the Eye Magic Artifact, the old coachman was sweating in his heart.
The reason is very simple. In the eyes of the old coachman, Fang Xiaoyue is a little too mature. If you don't look at the appearance, you would think that she is an adult in her thirties or forties.
As a result, there was no surprise. When he walked by, the magic weapon in his eyes lit up with green light.
All children with a green light will be taken directly to the center of the square by the patrolling warriors to wait. As for the parents, they cannot follow them and can only wait nearby.
