Chapter 50 50. Tiger Disaster
Zhangjiacun.

There are about 600 households in the village, which is considered a truly large village in the entire Ningyang Town.

But at this time.

The village was no longer as lively as usual.

The children who usually chase dogs and chickens and play around are nowhere to be seen, and many houses have their doors and windows closed, with no smoke from cooking.

Those who could afford to seek refuge in the town had already fled to the town with their entire family.

The remaining people,
First, those who have no extra money, even if they escape the disaster this time, they will die without food in the next few months;
Second, I have no relatives in the town and no place to stay;
The third is to bring the family along.

If you go to the city alone, the worst that can happen is you sleep on the street and shamelessly beg for food. Anyway, you can always hold on for a while.

The problem is the old and young in the family.

Adults can endure hunger for a while, but can the elderly and children?

What's more, there are so many villages around Ningyang Town, and there are always people who hope for the best. What if their village is not chosen?

Therefore, the villagers of Zhangjia Village who had nowhere to go chose to stay in the village. After discussion, they sent out some strong men to form a patrol team to patrol around the village every day.

Once any trace of a tiger is found, notify the villagers immediately to take shelter.

At the same time, bonfires were lit around the village at all times of day and night.

All animals are afraid of fire, and this can make tigers feel a little afraid of it to some extent.

But it’s hard to say whether it’s useful or not.

The villagers who stayed behind were all unsure and in a state of panic.

They could only pray that the tigers did not target their village, or hope that the Ningyang Town government could drive them back to the mountains as soon as possible.

today.

Just like in the previous few days, the five men patrolling Zhangjia Village were walking around the village and farmland with hoes, sickles and forks in their hands, with heavy hearts hanging in their shoulders.

His eyes were alert as he stared at the mountains and forests bordering the farmland and village.

"I hope those big beasts won't target our village." The middle-aged man leading the patrol team sighed and prayed to all the gods and Buddhas he could think of.

I hope they can protect Zhangjia Village from this disaster.

At this moment, a man at the end of the patrol team glanced casually, and suddenly saw a hint of yellow mixed in with the emerald green out of the corner of his eye.

yellow?

The patrolman's scalp suddenly went numb and cold sweat broke out.

He twisted his neck and looked over there. When he saw the pair of eyes as big as copper bells in the bushes, shining with cold light, he was scared to death and his lips trembled:

"Tiger."

When the other members of the patrol team heard the sound, they immediately stopped and turned to look.

Following the direction the man's finger was pointing, a tiger as big as a yellow cow, with a black and yellow body, slowly walked out of the bushes.

The tiger's body is covered with layers of muscles and its lines are as smooth as water. The huge fangs on its lips are protruding, densely packed, and extremely sharp, like a row of swords.

At first glance, one can feel the ultimate power and beauty from that body.

However, when everyone on the patrol team saw this powerful and beautiful beast, they felt as if they had fallen into an icy cave, and a chill ran from the soles of their feet to the top of their heads.

The tiger demon chose their Zhangjia Village? !
If it was an ordinary tiger, they would take up hoes, sickles, forks, and risk their lives to protect the women and children in the village behind them and their village.

But now there are far more than one tiger beast!
After the first tiger beast emerged, the second, third, and fourth came out from the bushes. In a flash, a total of fifteen tiger beasts appeared in front of the men on patrol!

A suffocating feeling called "despair" quickly arose in the hearts of the five men, spreading to cover their entire bodies, making their legs and feet weak and almost fainting.

They would have to risk their lives to have a chance to kill one tiger beast! But now there are as many as fifteen of them! And according to rumors, the one leading this group of tiger beasts is a tiger demon who has become a demon!

It's over! They are all going to die, all going to die!

The village can no longer be saved!
The middle-aged man leading the patrol team looked at the fifteen tigers in front of him. A strong sense of murderous aura and oppression came over him, and his body trembled involuntarily.

But when he thought of his wife and children at home, an inexplicable power surged out from deep within his body and poured into his feet that felt as heavy as lead.

He held his breath, gritted his teeth, turned around and ran towards the village, shouting at the top of his lungs as he ran: "The tiger demon is coming, run away!"

The sound stopped suddenly.

The only sound was the "ho ho" sound of air leaking out after the throat was torn, and blood splattered, staining the ground bright red.

Tiger is the king of the forest.

Therefore, the tiger is often known as the "king of the mountain".

The mountains and forests are the territory of tiger beasts and tiger monsters. It is not easy to track them down. The last time the government sent people into the mountains to encircle and suppress them, it also recruited hunters from a dozen surrounding villages to accompany them.

But this is not a problem for Xu Qing.

As long as he releases his divine image and relies on the Eye of God, he can capture the whereabouts of those tiger beasts and tiger monsters through the flow of Qi.

When Xu Qing, under the guidance of Qi, discovered that the tiger beasts and tiger monsters were not staying in the mountains, he suddenly felt something was wrong.

So he quickly quickened his pace.

However, when Xu Qing and Fatty Li arrived at Zhangjia Village.

Before getting close, I could smell a strong smell of blood from afar.

Xu Qing's pupils suddenly shrank and he hurriedly approached the village.

As soon as we reached the edge of the village, we saw five bodies lying outside the village.

Each body was a bloody mess, with the stomach ripped open, and pieces of flesh, bones, and broken limbs mixed with blood were scattered all over the ground.

"Are you late?" Fatty Li's face turned pale.

Xu Qing's ears moved slightly, and he listened in all directions.

Countless sounds seemed to be amplified, rustling into his ears and conveying information.

"There are still people alive! Those tiger beasts haven't left yet!"

Xu Qing suddenly looked up, his eyes seemed to penetrate the space, and saw a huge tiger demon leading a dozen tiger beasts surrounding some people.

Just like a cat playing with mouse.

Surround but don't kill.

Without saying a word, Xu Qing pushed the ground with his feet and rushed forward like a galloping horse. Fatty Li quickly followed closely.

the other side.

The only living people in Zhangjia Village were trembling in fear as they were surrounded by the tigers.

The few men who were still alive picked up their knives and forks, their hands and legs shaking wildly. Even though they knew it was useless, they still stood up and stood between the tiger and the elderly, the weak, women and children.

The women and children behind them looked at the mighty and powerful tigers with blood on their mouths, their faces frozen with deep despair and fear.

Some children who were still confused and didn't understand what was happening were held tightly in their mothers' arms, their eyes were wide open, clear and blank.

Warm liquid suddenly fell from above. The child looked up and saw his mother crying. He babbled and reached out his hand to wipe away her tears.

What came in return was even more suppressed and desperate crying.

until
Two figures wearing blue Taoist robes descended from the sky and appeared in front of the crowd, igniting the almost extinguished flame of "life" in their eyes.
