Chapter 7: The Wild Nature of the Hunter
At this time, the rats in the house had not yet known about Yi Chun's arrival.
After all, even if the average domestic cat likes to be clean, it will inevitably have some smell.
Because by licking, you can't completely eliminate these breaths.
And as Yi Chun, who directly changed into a cat form, the smell on his body was undoubtedly weak.
Of course, with Yi Chun's continuous activities, the secretion of sweat glands on his flesh pads will also make his breath richer.
For now, though, he's kept in this perfect state of seclusion.
The soft pad touched the plank, making a small, inaudible sound.
Soon, Yi Chun found a dark place.
It is a blind spot that is difficult for sunlight to shine on, and it is also an unavoidable defect of this kind of wooden house.
As the surrounding light weakened, Yi Chun's pupils began to change.
It began to expand, and its pupils, which had appeared slender in the previous sunlight, became rounded.
Just like the autumn moon, the surrounding light is taken into the eyes.
In Yi Chun's sense of smell, this is a place where rats in this area often pass by.
Because it leads to the house where the family is stocked with miscellaneous items, where peanuts and corn kernels that have not yet been ground into powder are piled up.
The fact that there are no cats does not mean that the owner of the house has no measures to protect against rats.
After all, it is a person who is shaving in the field, so he naturally has a variety of soil methods to try to solve it.
Of course, so far, there has been no substantial progress.
At least why they didn't consider raising a cat was out of Yi Chun's thinking.
There are many more reasons why people in the countryside do not have cats than people in the city, whether it is distressed about daily feeding, or a certain member's dislike of cats.
Or superstitious taboos, or even a casual remark from a crappy gentleman.
In the depths of the mountains far from civilization, all absurd reasons and phenomena can be found.
The dark environment made Yi Chun feel some relief.
The cat's keen perception allows him to feel the gaze that meets him in the natural environment.
And now, he is the only ruler in this darkness.
He holds complete initiative and the fate of those impending rats.
Yi Chun lurked quietly in this darkness, and the orange figure became trance and chaotic under the shroud of darkness......

"Squeak......
After there was no human activity in the house, the rats began to behave unbridledly.
A fat house mouse emerges from a crack in the attic, and it sneaks around and looks around.
When he saw that no one was there, he made a squeaky sound and cautiously moved downward.
In general, rats like this one are nocturnal.
But with the increasing density of regional rats, some changes in habits are inevitable.
Because the opportunity to be safely fed becomes scarce as the number of rats around them increases......
This is a game of survival, and habits exist to survive better.
Now, they must change......
Rats have poor eyesight, but their keen vigilance against the environment is remarkable.
Even if there are few cats and weasels in this household.
But the rat still didn't let its guard down, and it slowly slid down the plank wall with some response from its kind.
After falling to the ground, it quickly ducked into a nearby corner.
After waiting for a while, and seeing that there was no other movement, it began to move around the corner of the wall.
"Squeak......
It screamed at the other members with a directional message, and then ran merrily towards the granary of its memory.
The memory of a mouse belongs to the first sequence among creatures of the same size.
They are able to remember the traps that have hurt them, and can find ways to deal with them.
From a macro perspective, the mouse scurried briskly and sneakily towards the door with many gaps.
Faintly, the rat seemed to smell the fragrant smell of corn kernels after exposure to the sun.
Its face, able to see subtle changes in expression.
But in the next moment, some kind of huge existence suddenly swooped towards it in the darkness!
…………
…………
"Squeaky ......"
A wild wild instinct that makes sharp tears even more deadly and ferocious!
Under the strengthened teeth, the rupture of the rat's skull and the brutal damage to the nerve center caused it to lose its life in an instant!
The instinctive feedback of the muscles made its still warm body twitch slightly.
Fishy blood flowed down his teeth, and a certain luscious taste came out of his mouth.
Struggle or resistance, such a subtle spasm, weak and powerless!
Yi Chun let go of his mouth, still falling to the ground from the corpse of the mouse.
At this moment, his heart was vibrating at some extremely fast frequency!
Then, as the killing ended, it gradually subsided......
For a society that has now automated the killing of chickens, this kind of primitive and brutal experience is something that Yi Chun had never experienced in his previous life.
Although, Yi Chun lives in a market town surrounded by mountains and forests.
However, his work and hobbies meant that he would not have any intercourse with real nature.
And the fight of virtual games cannot depict the impact of real killing!
Mixed with the smell and smell of blood on the rat's body, as well as its violent struggle and swift death......
Perhaps it was the cat's body that gave Yi Chun a more powerful wild instinct.
At the moment, he did not feel disgusted and flinched.
Instead, something that burned like a flame erupted in his heart!
Once, I was used to the rules of twists and turns......
I was so weak that I was at the mercy of fate......
Those who flatter, those who whispered......
Again, not anymore!
In Yi Chun's eyes, there seemed to be something immersed in them.
It is not as cautious as a domestic cat, nor as vigilant as a wild cat.
Beneath the seemingly ordinary coldness, there seems to be some kind of breathtaking sharpness condensing.
Maybe it's the size that gives the beasts their majesty, or maybe something else condenses the blood-stained wildness......
"Based on your current wild form, increase proficiency by ↑5% (Hunting)."
"You've gained a slight increase in the Nature's Way, and you've gained 100 career experience."
And at this time, Yi Chun's eyes refreshed with new information.
Even if it was the darkness of the surrounding environment at this moment, Yi Chun could see this information very clearly.
After digesting the information brought by this information, Yi Chun ignored it anymore.
Although the dead rats did not make a sound, the smell of blood gradually dissipated in the air alarmed the rats.
This place is no longer suitable for hunting, at least not for novices like Yi Chun.
However, there are many hunting places like this here......
