Although these refugees used to live in towns, they often went deep into the mountains and forests to mine, collect medicine, and hunt. They were not the kind of weak scholars who had no power to restrain themselves. However, they climbed up the city wall and faced those who were swooping down.
The flying bird, the monster that rushed up the city wall, was still so frightened that its legs were weak.
Just on the first day when the refugees climbed onto the city wall, as many as 30% of them 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.
To be honest, at this time, Fang Xiaoyue wanted to go up 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 tide of beasts receded.
Just as there is no sign when it comes, so there is no sign when the beast tide recedes.

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 receded, a large number of refugees began to be repatriated, and Lengmu City did not allow them to stay here any longer.
The reason is very 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 Lengmu City, there is also a matter of performance appraisal.
If too few ores and medicinal materials are 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 are willing 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 implementation 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, dig ores, and hunt wild beasts.
However, for the people of Lengmu City, the end of the beast tide also means that something is coming.
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 failure in 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 are 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 wild beasts that gathered during the beast tide was quite large, which allowed these refugee families to enjoy a rare feast of food for a few days.
After all, even when they were in towns, they could not eat meat all the time.
On the seventh day after the beast tide ended, both the refugee families outside the city and the families inside the city gathered together 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.
More than 10,000 families, or more than 30,000 people, came to Lengmu City alone. As for the refugee families coming in from outside the city, there were more than 20,000 families, 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 in one word!
And all onlookers will be expelled from the square and their candidacy will be cancelled!
Under such a cruel punishment, even those who are usually unruly and rebellious have to stand there with their heads down.
There is nothing you can do, it doesn’t matter if you make trouble yourself, if your children are harmed, they will die.
In the words of the original world, this is the only opportunity to rise in class in the Nancui area!
If this opportunity is missed, it will be a delay for a generation!
Fang Xiaoyue was also led by the old coachman at this time, standing in the square according to the order of the streets.
No way, orphans are not allowed to participate in the selection ceremony!
The reason, Fang Xiaoyue can probably guess, is that he is afraid of spies from other sects sneaking in.
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 rule.
Due to the large number of people, there is a screening process before the formal selection ceremony begins.
All children need to walk in front of a magic weapon that looks like an eye.
Anyone whose physical age is over twelve years old will have his or her 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 didn't look at her appearance, she would have thought she was an adult in her thirties or forties.
The result was naturally no surprise. When he walked by, a green light lit up on his eyes.
Any child with a green light will be taken directly to the center of the square by the patrol warriors to wait. As for the parents, they cannot follow them and can only wait nearby.
