When Shang heard what he had to do, his mind quickly changed directions.

He put his earlier thoughts to the back of his mind as his old instincts from the wilderness returned.

Without saying anything, Shang shot towards the Wild Forest. Mervin watched him from afar and slowly followed him from a distance.

As soon as Shang reached the first tree, he jumped to one of the branches in near-perfect silence. Then, he simply jumped from branch to branch with practiced ease.

Shang looked at the ground of the forest for the entire time while always quickly checking the tree he would jump to next.

Shang hadn't even realized that Mervin had essentially made it harder for Shang than necessary.

Pest Cats were only active at night. Right now, it was morning, and the sun was already shining down from above. This meant that the Pest Cats were hiding inside their nests, which were nearly impossible to find for someone that didn't know about the Pest Cats' habits.

When Mervin saw the methodical method at which Shang was searching for the Pest Cats, he sighed.

He wanted to teach Shang a lesson. Shang had acted in a self-destructive way by not at least pretending to be polite, and Mervin wanted to make it a bit harder for Shang as a lesson.

Action and consequence.

Shang wanted to make his life harder? Sure, Mervin would comply and make it a bit harder.

However, Mervin had underestimated Shang.

Shang had been living in the wilderness for over half a year, and he had been forced to learn the habits of the beasts around him. After all, if he didn't, a Pest Cat might have jumped out at him from its nest if he didn't notice it prior to that.

Pest Cats might only be active and hunt at night, but if some prey decided to directly stroll right past its home, it wouldn't decline the meal.

After a couple of minutes of jumping from tree to tree, Shang noticed some dried drops of blood on the ground.

Pest Cats hunted every single night because they needed a lot of food to produce offspring. Pest Cats were famous for their astounding ability to reproduce quickly.

When Pest Cats hunted at night, they carried their prey to their burrow to consume it over the day. The Pest Cats had an impressively fast metabolism, and their stomachs were very efficient in digesting food.

Cats could eat at once, and they often
