The animal carcasses did attract flies, and the flies also attracted many toads, but the toads attracted more than just Zhang Heng, a mouse.
On the street, house mice, gray mice, yellow-haired mice, and some mice Zhang Heng couldn't recognize all ran out from somewhere. Some of them were catching toads, while others were gnawing on animal carcasses.
As a result, Zhang Heng naturally didn't get many toads. At the same time, he thought of another thing.
If a large number of rats gather together, will they also attract their natural enemies?
To be on the safe side, it’s better to retreat first!
Zhang Heng picked up a toad and turned to leave this chaotic place.
“Squeak!”
Unexpectedly, a large yellow rat suddenly rushed from the left, knocking Zhang Heng dizzy and causing him to fall to the ground. When he regained consciousness, the toad in his mouth was gone.
He looked up and saw the yellow rat swallowing the toad whole. The most disgusting thing was that after eating the toad, the yellow rat actually bit him.
"Are there any bastards among mice who bully their own kind?"
Seeing the malice in the big yellow rat's eyes, Zhang Heng became angry.
He suddenly jumped up, dodged the attack of the yellow rat, and landed steadily on the latter's back.
Zhang Heng opened his mouth wide and bit the rat's back.
Several small holes appeared on the back of the yellow rat, and blood flowed out, staining the surrounding rat hair red.
"grumble!"
The big yellow rat howled in pain and rolled on the ground. Zhang Heng was also thrown away by the violent shaking.
The pain made the yellow rat even more ferocious. It moved on all four legs and rushed towards Zhang Heng with great momentum.
Zhang Heng's eyes were also filled with anger, and he rushed forward without fear.
Do you really think he is a soft persimmon?
Two mice were fighting in front of a mutilated cow carcass.
Of the two mice, Zhang Heng is smaller, but he has been upgraded twice, and his physical fitness is not much inferior to that of the yellow rat that has not been upgraded.
The most important thing is his primary self-healing talent, which will allow him to recover from injuries at a slow rate.
As the fight went on, scratches and bite marks of varying sizes appeared on the bodies of both mice. However, the large yellow mouse's movements became slower and slower. On the other hand, Zhang Heng's biting, bumping, and dodging were all done with great vigor.
However, his attack power was insufficient, and he was unable to bring the big yellow rat to its death.
"Meow!"
“Hiss!”
At this moment, two sudden sounds made Zhang Heng's heart stop. He no longer cared about anything else, loosened his mouth that was biting the big yellow rat's ear, and started to flee frantically.
Not only him, all the rats nearby fled in all directions.
They fled quickly, but the predators were even faster. Viper snakes, as thick as bamboo poles and colorful in color, swam around with their bloody mouths wide open, devouring the lagging mice one by one.
Of course, this doesn't mean it's safe to run ahead.
Zhang Heng looked back as he fled and saw that not all the venomous snakes were chasing him. Several with strange markings had their upper bodies raised high, their mouths wide open.
Then, streams of transparent liquid spurted out with a whoosh.
“I’ll go!”
Zhang Heng was almost scared to death. He had just fought with the yellow rat and his body was covered with bloody wounds. If he was infected with snake venom, he would be lying on his back.
The fear of death made Zhang Heng's adrenaline surge. He danced his little paws into a whirlwind of fire, ran behind a roadside tree in one breath, and hid in the cave he had dug last night.
The big yellow rat behind him was not so lucky. It was injured in the fight with Zhang Heng, which had already reduced its physical strength. Moreover, it was not aware of the venom at all.
The result was that it was shot all over the body, and the toxins penetrated through the wounds. Its body stiffened on the spot, and it became "straight" for the rest of its life.
"Suck it!"
A black cat leaped out and chewed the rat into pieces. Zhang Heng, who had been hiding at the cave entrance, immediately recognized it as the overly clever black cat that had put him in danger so many times.
Looking at the streets again, only a few rats manage to escape. Even if a rat manages to escape a snake's mouth, its chances of survival are slim against a cat whose reaction speed is seven times that of a snake.
Zhang Heng was able to escape because, firstly, he was very close to the cave he had dug, and secondly, he had a yellow rat as a scapegoat. Even so, he still had lingering fears.
For safety reasons, Zhang Heng dug some soil to block the hole next to the roadside tree, and then moved to the farthest hole to observe the situation on the field.
“Woof woof woof!”
“Ouch!”
Following the snakes and cats, groups of dogs and wolves arrived. What shocked Zhang Heng was that those wolfhounds were extremely ferocious and violent.
He saw with his own eyes the wolfhounds, in groups of three or five, surrounding and killing cats and snakes. Cats and snakes were torn into pieces and became the wolfhounds' meals.
However, the cats and snakes' dying counterattacks also killed several dogs and wolves.
"Dogs actually prey on cats? The natural laws and food chains I'm familiar with seem to have been turned upside down in today's world."
Zhang Heng looked at the bloody scene of the law of the jungle in front of him and lowered his head in thought.
"Huh?"
Zhang Heng's eyes swept over his round belly, and he couldn't help feeling confused.
"Yesterday I ate dozens of cockroaches, hundreds of termites, and just now I swallowed a dozen toads. How come I didn't die from the stuffing?"
Zhang Heng gently stroked his orange-sized belly.
How can such a small stomach hold so much food?
No, it should be that the food he eats is converted into evolution points and stored, so it doesn't take up space in his stomach. Only when the number of evolution points is enough to allow him to upgrade to the next level will it be consumed.
"But if there's a limit to the evolution points the body can store, and that limit can't meet the upgrade requirements, then won't the level be locked?"
