It was already past two o'clock in the morning when they returned to their resting place. Although they had the help of their innate skill, Devour, they had experienced the thrilling incident during the day. Li Jiang was mentally and physically exhausted, so he was definitely not in a good state. If he did not think of a way to feed on fish of a higher level than himself, he would not be able to level up. He could only think of another way to increase his strength.
Li Jiang, who was lying on a pile of dry grass, was planning in his mind. He was planning the next step and other problems." It would be great if the Domination skill could also be used in places without water. This way, I could enslave other animals for my own use. Now, I can transform into a woodpecker, a mouse, a snake, and a herring. The green fish could be put on hold for now. The woodpecker didn't have any attacks, so it could only be used as a scout for the time being. The mouse was too weak, and there seemed to be no place for it to display its power. As for the snake, it did have attack damage, but it would be difficult to deal with the big guy. As for his skills, Domination was basically a decoration on the road. How could he use Detection and Devour to his advantage?”
He looked up at the sky. The moon was moving through the clouds. The cold smell in the air was faintly discernible. A cold wind blew against his face, stimulating his brain to become clear-headed.
Suddenly, Li Jiang felt a strange feeling.
He immediately released his consciousness and followed the trajectory of the little dot that had just moved at the edge of the consciousness feeler, quickly extending it.
"In the north, there is some unknown danger. I'm not sure what it is exactly, but I have a vague concept of perception.”
It was indeed a warning of danger, and it was in the north. Distance, the course of events, species, location... These factors were very vague and did not accurately point to the target, but they did exist.
It was like knowing that it would rain tomorrow through the weather forecast, but the exact time and range of the rain were not clear. Li Jiang frowned and stared at the darkness that was enough to devour all light. The faint warning signs still lingered. It was as if there was a pair of sinister eyes watching him coldly from a corner, spying on his every move.
A rat ran out of the woods.
It climbed up the tree roots and carefully watched the woodpecker Li Jiang in the withered grass.
The rat was very big, at least three times the size of Li Jiang's transformed rat. The night covered its skin, and its two small eyes sparkled in the darkness. This greedy…Greed. The creature was staring at Li Jiang, constantly licking the meat on its teeth. It was probably the remains of some small animal that he had eaten earlier.
However, the rat was still hungry. The food was too little, not even enough to fill the gaps between his teeth.
Rats were not picky eaters. They were interested in anything that seemed edible. Cockroaches, grasshoppers, spiders…Regardless of whether these insects were poisonous or not, their fat bodies were all filled with meat rich in protein. As for the taste…as long as it was edible, why bother?
Li Jiang had already detected the rat's existence when it appeared. He thought,'Even a rat wants to bully me, even though this rat is very big.' However, this was not a threat to Li Jiang at all.
The rat climbed down the tree and ran to a place three meters away from Li Jiang to continue staring at him. The rat opened its mouth, revealing two huge rocks in front of it. Hard incisors.
Li Jiang stood motionless, as if he had been scared stiff by this terrifying beast.
"Oh my little darling, what are you thinking about?”
"Hehehehe." With a sinister smile, the rat's paw moved forward, getting closer and closer to Li Jiang.
"I want to eat you!" Li Jiang said blankly.”
"Damn it, you. or... You actually want to eat me? Alright, I admit that you're an ugly and stupid guy who's not afraid of death. However, are you sure you want to do this?”Ratty roared angrily.
"You've got the most basic relationship wrong," Li Jiang continued. In front of a high-level creature, you damned low-level creature, you should be devoured by me, enslaved by me, and not staring at me…Alright, since your stupid brain can't evolve the concept of 'respect,' then let Brother Jiang teach you what true obedience is, what is the fear of a low-level creature towards a high-level creature-"
With words that were enough to drive the rat crazy, Li Jiang suddenly jumped onto the rat's head with surprising sensitivity and speed. The gray fog instantly flew out of his body and he silently chanted," Snake Transformation." Without waiting for the other party to resist and struggle, he had already opened his sharp teeth and bit into the mouse's right eye.
Immediately, the rat's head bled profusely. It howled, rolled back and forth on the ground, jumped, and swept its tail in the air, but it could not alleviate the pain from its head, nor could it eliminate the fear of despair in its mind.
Soon, the rat stopped struggling. His legs and mouth were twitching. The bar opened wide, and a large amount of maroon blood flowed out.
" Evolved rat gene met the requirements. Activating gene chain strengthening system.”
"Rat Gene (Grey Rat) has been strengthened. Strengthening level 1.”
"Status: Grey Rat. Level 1."
"Strengthens the hardness of teeth, speed, sense of smell, and thinking in the rat state.
[Talent: Commanding]
Moonlight shone down from the sky. Under the cold silver light, a gray-black rat could be clearly seen on the ground. It was Li Jiang, who had transformed into a rat. His body was now 25 centimeters long, excluding the length of his tail. He was no different from a medium-sized cat.
" I didn't expect that the rat didn't have any talent at the beginning. Now, after devouring a rat, it unexpectedly upgraded and obtained a talent skill. Moreover, this skill has the effect of enslavement, which is the same as Qing Yu's talent of ruling. This time, the problem of not being able to use ruling has been solved. I'll try the effect of this new skill later.”
In order to better understand his own situation, Li Jiang silently recited a similar game scene, and the image information instantly appeared in his mind.
[Host: Li Jiang]

Seeing this, Li Jiang smiled in satisfaction." Hehe, it's time for me to show off my skills. There's nothing lacking in this world, but rats. The skill talent has given me such a good skill, so how can I not make good use of it?”
