Wisps of light smoke swayed in the wind, and from time to time there was the sound of neighboring farmers greeting each other across the ridges.

The content was probably a short matter for parents, but it soon disappeared into the morning fog with the noise of chickens and dogs.

A farmer who raised sheep was driving his flock to the mountain, and the crisp bell of the local dog next to him was fading away......

Yi Chun lay on the roof of a farmer's house, watching it all with wide eyes like copper bells.

Of course, he is no stranger to all this.

The Federation's strategy of urban population centers has liberated the mountains and wilderness of the planet like never before.

Of course, this does not affect the fact that there are still a large number of towns scattered around the central city.

And from the farther sky, it is full of boundless green.

However, not everyone is a fan of the Federation's ecological strategy......

After all, under the theme of ecological optimization, the contact between wildlife and humans will become more frequent.

For those who live in cities, it is natural not to imagine the experience of living around the room where they live.

Even in today's well-developed medical environment, venomous snakes are not necessarily fatal.

But there is no doubt that it will inevitably bring some hidden pain that is difficult to dissipate due to some accidents.

Even more tricky is the inconspicuous-looking bugs.

For example, mosquitoes have been active with humans to the present day......

Basically, there is no beneficial and indispensable natural link for the natural environment that human beings need.

It has also resolutely crossed the years of civilization, and has maintained a vigorous and disgusting vitality in today's many ways of killing insects.

The optimization of the ecological environment also means that they have a more continuous respite......

"Buzz ......"

A huge gadfly fluttered above Yi Chun's head, and then was swept to the ground with a thud.

Before it could recover from the heavy blow of the cat's tail, which had been strengthened by its human body, an orange claw completely finished it off.

It's a bit of a rarity these days, as cattle farms have enough professional equipment to evict and exterminate these creatures.

Yi Chun could smell all kinds of abnormal smells in the air, which were mixed with the smell of feces and livestock.

When these smells are on the human body, they are generally attributed to the word "stinky".

But now, those breaths were clearly divided into several separate components under Yi Chun's nose.

When he was a child, Yi Chun remembered in a trance that he had seen such a small village.

But now, although the economy of the market town is not very developed, there are no such old buildings.

Needless to say, this familiar village is not on Yi Chun's planet.

Or maybe it's a microcosm of what the planet once was?

Yi Chun didn't know the answer, and at this time, there was a snotty doll in the farmer's house below him, staring at Yi Chun with his dark and shining eyes.

Orange is a good protective color in nature.

But at this time, the brightly colored tiles are obviously quite conspicuous.

"Milk, there's a cat meow......"

The doll below shouted in a heavily nasal voice.

However, at this time, Yi Chun had already run away with the agility that orange cats rarely had.

The words spoken by this doll have a very strong dialect characteristic.

Coincidentally, it seemed to be the dialect of the market town where Yi Chun worked.

As an intangible cultural heritage, the inheritance of dialects represents a context and direction of local culture.

Yi Chun seemed to have some vague speculation, but it didn't have any practical significance.

For him now, he already knows very well what he desires......

And at this time, perhaps some of his thoughts touched a certain keyword.

In front of Yi Chun's eyes, a new line of information began to be refreshed:

“

Wild Dungeon: Rat-plague on the farmstead

Maximum dwell time of the dungeon: 1 calendar day (you can try to postpone your exit from the dungeon by completing some node events)

Dungeon-related wilds: Rats (green), Gu Worms (red), Spirits (Crimson)

Tip: Killing is not a necessary part of the Wild's ascension, it is only a part of the Wild.

”

Yi Chun licked the fangs that seemed to be still greasy, and things seemed to get more interesting......

…………

…………

"Squeak......

The primitive and simple wooden houses are the favorite dwellings of the rats.

This is also the reason why many farmers in the mountains will choose to raise a cat.

Those cats, of course, are not lazy and cute pets in the city.

They are wild little killers and guardians, maintaining the purity and harmony of a family's night.

In the Federal's East Asian region, the tanuki cat is a major factor in the construction of this rural-related theme.

Yi Chun has always been fond of tanuki cats, which may be the reason why he changed into an orange tanuki cat.

Cats are actually creatures with a very strong sense of territory, so Yi Chun chose a family that did not have cats.

As we all know, when there is a gap in the relevant field of a certain area, there is always something outside to fill in.

In Yi Chun's sense of smell, there are traces of a large number of rats active here.

Even, they are rampant until they come out during the day.

In many people's minds, a rat plague is a dense black torrent in a sewer.

But in fact, when the number of rats in an area exceeds a certain threshold, it can be called a rat plague.

This threshold fluctuates differently depending on the capacity of different areas and the number of predators such as cats and dogs.

In fact, the role of cats in curbing the growth of rat populations is enormous.

Because even when they're full, they don't mind killing every mouse they find......

From a macro point of view, this is a manifestation of a natural imbalance.

Nature is balance, but it's not just balance......

At this time, the owner of the house was already out.

Although the sky is not yet clear, the morning in the countryside is undoubtedly busier during the busy farming season.

Yi Chun jumped up from the darkness to the beams, and then ran down the second floor, which was piled up with messy materials.

This kind of house is completely open for a flexible life like a cat.

The thick pads of meat stepped on the dry beams, and everything went on silently......

For cats that act on instinct, a cat with a human mind like Yi Chun is obviously more deadly.

Or rather, insidious......

If the rats had a feeling in their brains that were less than the size of a walnut, they might have shouted a vile roar.

But obviously, they don't have that opportunity at this time.

According to the difference in the intensity of the smell in the air, Yi Chun quickly summed up the activity trajectory of the mice.

It's not complicated, especially now that he's in a state where there are no distractions.

He doesn't have to think about work and relationships, or about his future development and marriage.

Now, he's just a cat, a cat eager to hunt!
