Bab 876: Heat and Tensions

It was a long and hard fight throughout the night, and it finally stopped when dawn arrived and the temperature shot up again. 

By this time, dozens of the people had already perished—mostly slaves—pulled out by the monsters and divided amongst themselves. 

As tragic as it was, it was nothing new to them—a daily occurrence during the heat wave, even—so people moved on, and they focused on the food in front of them.

After a long night, they got 10 beast carcasses, complete with meat and blood. 

People surrounded the goods, even those who only hid inside their homes while the walls were attacked. 

Of course, those who had fought immediately surrounded the food. How could they allow other people to share?

There were thousands of people in the territory—the ten beasts would not be enough! Perhaps they wouldn't even have a sip of blood!
