Ten miles outside of Qi City.
Due to its location near a plain with lush grassy slopes, there was a pastoral village.
The villagers herded and tended to a large number of cattle and sheep, working from sunrise to sunset.
The transition from spring to summer, with its burgeoning greenery, was supposed to be the busiest time of the year for the herders.
However, last night's disaster struck without warning, shattering the harmonious lives of the villagers in an instant.
The sudden beast rampage turned countless homes into ruins and left many families shattered and lives lost.
Outside the village, heaps of kindling were stacked under the fences, and some soldiers were pouring oil on them.
With bows in hands, over a thousand soldiers stood guard outside the village, their arrows aimed at the homes.
Should anyone emerge, they would be shot down immediately.
Inside the village, cries for help and sobbing could be heard.
