Chapter 4: Skill 'Digging Holes'

"Squeak!"

Rats are squeaking and squeaking.

It was a mouse that had just entered the prime of life, about seven or eight centimeters in size, about half the size of Su Yi's body now.

However, unlike a normal mouse, its right hind leg has been bitten off by the cat mother, limping, relying only on its left leg, trying to retreat, its voice is sharp and full of fear.

It's a pity that because of the bitten off right leg, no matter how hard he tries, he can't move far.

"Up. The cat mother said in cat language again, and then pushed Su Yi with her paw at the same time.

The meaning is obvious - let Su Yi hunt this mouse.

Su Yi's eyes were a little solemn.

To be honest, although this mouse is much smaller than the little milk cat, the difference is not obvious.

Moreover, the claws of the little milk cat have not grown, and it is difficult to deal with a young adult mouse with very sharp claws and front teeth.

Of course, in the case of a lame mouse's leg, the probability of victory is still greater.

"But normally, you shouldn't have brought rats so early, right?"

Su Yi also knows a little common sense, he is not a month old now, although he is a little older than ordinary little milk cats, but he will not start practicing hunting so early.

He glanced at the mother cat, who only responded with a 'up' aim, and then pushed his paws, a little harder.

Obviously, it was for him to do it.

"Then let's get on......"

A touch of ruthlessness flashed in Su Yi's eyes, and his slightly immature claws received into the meat pad, like a dagger hidden in the scabbard.

And just as he wanted to kill him, his younger siblings made the first move.

As a human being, Su Yi naturally wouldn't know.

The mother cat takes the dead mouse she catches home and eats it in front of the kitten, so that the kitten knows that the mouse is food!

Then they will go home with the rats that have not been killed, and let the kittens practice catching mice.

Like Su Yi, who had long known that rats were food for cats, his younger siblings now also knew that rats were food!

Food, you have to learn to bite into it!

They have seen the cat mother eat mice many times, and coupled with the unique curiosity of kittens, they are not afraid to rush up at all.

And then......

Quickly defeated.

As Su Yi dignified, the mouse is not weak, especially for a small milk cat.

His younger siblings are much smaller than him, and compared to Su Yi, who has grown fangs, the little milk cat's baby teeth have not grown well, and they are of no use at all.

The young rat had already been frightened, and when he saw a cat coming over, he immediately struggled desperately.

Even if you don't use that broken leg, you can roll back and forth, jump and bump, and occasionally hit the kitten twice, which immediately scared them enough and fled quickly.

"Did you sell cuteness in the past?"

Su Yi looked at the two frightened little milk cats who were hiding behind the cat mother and shivering.

The mother licked the little milk cat lightly with her tongue, as if to soothe it.

Then he continued to yell at Su Yi.

"Aim. โ€

Well, the meaning is obvious - Su Yi still has to go.

Su Yi didn't care, looking at the mouse that was not so desperately struggling, the cat leaned over and slowly approached.

Don't look at the mouse's thigh injury, but look at it just now, you can see that when it struggles desperately, there is not much difference between the leg and the non-injury.

At most, it is impossible to escape, but there is still resistance to claws and teeth, and the strength to break free is very strong.

At least with the strength of a kitten, it is difficult to hold it down on all fours alone.

Unless.......

Su Yi squinted his eyes, walked around the rat in a circle, and paced slowly.

The tree hole is not small, and the size of the mouse and Su Yi is not large, so there is plenty of room for movement.

He wasn't in a hurry, at least pacing slowly.

The cat's mother didn't urge, just watched quietly.

The rat was still vigilant, squeaking and kicking its legs hard, trying to escape.

"Meow. The mother cat seemed to be tired, barked, and went straight down.

The mouse subconsciously looked at the cat mother vigilantly - compared to the little milk cat, the cat mother is the real killer!

And the moment it turned its head, Su Yi moved!

The whirring pad of flesh made his footsteps almost silent.

Take a step forward, then pounce.

The whole action was like a cloud of water, except for the sound of the wind rushing out, there was no other movement.

By the time the rat turned around in horror, it was too late.

Su Yi's claws were already pressed on the mouse's body, and the fangs that had grown were tightly bitten on the mouse's erect neck, and at the same time, the whole body was pressed hard, trying to increase the strength.

"Squeak!"

The rat screamed in horror and struggled desperately.

However, in the face of the limbs and fangs that had grown and Su Yi's own weight, he was still powerless to break free from the fate of a tragic death.

After five minutes, the rat finally stopped struggling.......

Su Yi looked at his 'loot' exhausted.

First Kill!

First blood!

Well, although in the face of a lame mouse......

Su Yi almost squatted and sat next to him, helpless, the little milk cat's physical strength was still too poor, and his limbs were still a little strong, but the others were not good at all.

But the next moment, regardless of his powerlessness, he pounced directly.

Trying to open his mouth wide, he bit the whole mouse and ran to the side.

Well, cat mothers rarely let little milk cats eat mice so early, but now this mouse is related to Su Yi's evolutionary point!

The mother cat seemed to twitch the corners of her mouth humanely, wanting to say something, but in the end she didn't say anything, just watched Su Yi take the mouse away, hide in the corner, and bite little by little.

Seeing that the cat's mother was not frozen, Su Yi relaxed a little, while eating, and had time to read the system's prompts.

"Digging a hole?" Su Yi was stunned for a moment, and then the corners of his mouth suddenly rose.

Don't look like the name, but it's a good skill!

The rat itself is weak and can be caught by almost any carnivore.

Its reproduction is mainly to watch the hole dig and hide in the hole!

In this way, almost all natural predators can be avoided!

Even cats and eagles, who are good at catching mice, can only look at the 'hole' and sigh.

Because they can't get in!

It's a great way to save your life!

"Learn!"

In the next second, the words 'digging holes' written in the unlearned skills column shattered, and an unspeakable knowledge appeared out of thin air in Su Yi's brain.

For a moment, Su Yi looked at the tree hole under his feet, as if he knew where to lay his claws in order to quickly dig out a hole.

There is also the knowledge of how to maintain the stability of the cave so that it does not collapse, and what kind of soil quality and time are more suitable for digging the cave......

At the same time, a voice sounded in Su Yi's ear.

ใ€Skill you have learned: Digging Lv1ใ€‘
