Chapter 64 Two Small Prey Caught
Chapter Sixty-Four: Catching Two Small Prey
Therefore, whether it's a meerkat or a badger, they must be very careful when hunting venomous snakes.
It's not that meerkats can kill a venomous snake with a single bite, and that they don't need to worry about the snake's venom. In fact, when meerkats fight with venomous snakes, they try their best to avoid being bitten.
This time, the meerkat was like that; although it wanted to eat the venomous snake, it also didn't want to be bitten. While fighting the snake, it tried its best to avoid being bitten.
And so, the meerkat and the venomous snake began to fight. However, the snake was no match for the meerkat, and when it had used up most of its venom, the meerkat was able to strike.
Now we see the meerkat suddenly bite the snake's neck. Once the snake has its neck bitten, it is no longer able to resist.
Soon, the meerkat killed the venomous snake.
After the meerkats killed the venomous snake, they began to eat it.
Chu Ye saw the meerkat about to eat the venomous snake. He suddenly thought that if he went over and caught the meerkat now, he would have two prey at the same time.
With that in mind, Chu Ye decided to deal with this meerkat.
"Hmph, you little meerkat, why did you kill that venomous snake! Now I will avenge that snake."
Thinking of this, Chu Ye immediately darted out from the bushes.
The meerkat was about to eat the venomous snake when it suddenly saw a lion cub dart out of the bushes, and it became frightened.
However, when the meerkat saw that Chu Ye was just a five- or six-month-old lion cub, the meerkat was no longer so afraid.
"Hmph, you little lion, what do you think you're doing? Do you intend to steal my meerkats' prey? My prey is venomous snakes; you lions had better not try to steal mine. My prey is not for you to eat."
Although the meerkat saw Chu Ye, it didn't take him seriously. It sensed that Chu Ye wouldn't dare to steal its prey.
But Chu Ye's actions greatly surprised the meerkats. Chu Ye didn't try to snatch the prey from the meerkats' mouths; he directly targeted the baby meerkats.
The little meerkat hadn't expected Chu Ye to target it so directly. For a moment, the little meerkat was at a loss.
However, since Chu Ye wanted to fight this little meerkat, the little meerkat didn't hold back and immediately began to fight Chu Ye.
This little meerkat also underestimated Chu Ye's strength. It felt that Chu Ye was just an ordinary little lion and shouldn't have any special abilities.
But when the little meerkat started fighting with Chu Ye, it realized that Chu Ye was not an ordinary little lion, but a very powerful little lion.
Soon, Chu Ye bit the little meerkat's neck. Although the little meerkat struggled as hard as it could, it was to no avail.
With just a slight effort, Chu Ye's sharp teeth snapped the little meerkat's neck. The little meerkat quickly died.
Seeing that the little meerkat was dead, Chu Ye released it and then went over to bite off the body of the dead venomous snake and placed it on the little meerkat's body.
After that, Chu Ye, with the two prey in his mouth, ran towards his home.
Soon, Chu Ye returned to the lion pride with his two prey.
At this time, none of the adult lions in the Jik pride were home. Lisa and Aisha had gone hunting again, while the male lion Jik had gone to patrol the territory.
Several lion cubs were playing under a big tree. Although they were a little hungry, they didn't know how to hunt and could only wait for their mother to bring back food for them.
Chu Ye dragged his prey in front of several lion cubs.
The lion cubs were all surprised to see a meerkat and a venomous snake still standing in front of them.
But as long as there's food, it's a good thing. So the lion cubs started fighting over it.
Although there wasn't much meat in the meerkat cub and the venomous snake, it was still a pretty good meal for these hungry lion cubs.
The lion cubs began to fight over the prey. They didn't care how Chu Ye got the prey; as long as they had meat to eat, that was enough for them.
Just then, Lisa and Elsa returned from outside, having failed in their hunt once again. They had to return hungry.
But when they reached the base of the tree, they saw several lion cubs fighting over food. This puzzled Lisa and Elsa greatly. They had initially thought that their hunt had failed again, and the lion cubs would go hungry once more.
Only when they returned to the base of the tree did they see several lion cubs fighting over food. Isn't that strange?
"Huh! How come our little lion cubs have food to eat? Did they hunt it themselves?" Lisa looked at the cubs fighting over the food with a puzzled expression.
Elsa was the same; she had also thought that since the hunt had failed this time, the lion cubs would be howling around them again when they returned.
But when Elsa saw that the lion cubs had food to eat, she felt somewhat relieved.
At this moment, Chu Ye did not compete with the other lion cubs for food. He felt he had eaten enough and didn't need to fight with them for any more.
When Lisa saw that Chu Ye was the only one standing to one side, she came over and licked his cheek. Clearly, Lisa had already guessed that Chu Ye must have brought back the prey from outside.
And so, Chu Ye helped the two lionesses find food for the lion cubs that day.
Although the two lionesses didn't catch any prey, Chu Ye managed to hunt two small animals, which at least provided food for the lion cubs in the pride.
In fact, food is extremely important for a lion pride. Adult lions can go for many days without food without any problems. However, lion cubs need to be fed regularly.
Chu Ye was lucky today and encountered a few small animals. If he hadn't encountered any small animals, he wouldn't have been able to bring back any prey for the other lion cubs.
Chu Ye now knew that he would have to hunt for his own food from now on. He couldn't expect the lionesses to bring back prey for him regularly.
Lionesses typically hunt large prey, making successful hunts quite difficult. This is why Lisa and Elsa frequently fail to hunt. They haven't eaten much for several days.
However, adult lions are also very resilient to hunger. Generally speaking, adult lions can go a month without food during the dry season without facing any danger to their lives.
However, if a lion goes hungry for a month, it will become very thin and will have no strength left to hunt.
Therefore, lions need to eat regularly to stay strong and healthy. Only when they are strong and healthy can they continue to hunt prey. It's a mutually reinforcing relationship.
Chu Ye no longer expected the two lionesses to bring him any prey; he knew he could completely support himself. Although he was only a six-month-old cub, Chu Ye was already capable of fending for himself.
That morning, the weather was exceptionally fine. During the dry season, the weather on the vast grasslands is consistently sunny every day. After all, without rain, it's like having sunny days all the time.
Chu Ye went hunting by himself again this morning. The two lionesses still hadn't caught any large prey; they could only catch some small animals.
These small prey animals are far from enough for a pride of lions. Not to mention the cubs, even Zeke is constantly hungry! He often goes hunting himself, but he often fails.
Although Jike is a strong male lion, during the dry season, it is not easy for any lion, whether you are a cub or an adult, to hunt prey.
This morning, after seeing the two lionesses go out hunting again, Chu Ye went to hunt in the bushes by himself again.
Chu Ye had initially wondered if he would encounter some kind of venomous snake or other prey today. Although he didn't want to eat venomous snakes anymore. After all, he had eaten quite a few venomous snakes these past few days, and he really wanted to try something different.
However, it seems that only small animals like venomous snakes are relatively common in these bushes. After all, even venomous snakes need to frequently search for food during the dry season. Because of this, Chu Ye often sees venomous snakes as prey in the bushes.
Today, Chu Ye didn't see any poisonous snakes. He saw a rabbit instead.
This is the food Chu Ye wants to eat most. For Chu Ye, only the meat of herbivores is truly delicious. Animals like poisonous snakes, meerkats, and badgers—their meat doesn't taste as good as herbivorous meat.
Even warthog meat doesn't taste as good as the meat of a pure herbivore. After all, warthogs are omnivores.
Chu Ye had been wondering if he was going to encounter snakes like cobras or king cobras again today. But to his surprise, as soon as he came out, he saw a rabbit grazing in the grass among the bushes.
Upon seeing the rabbit, Chu Ye couldn't resist sticking out his tongue and licking his lips. After all, Chu Ye had already eaten several poisonous snakes, and he wanted a change of pace!
However, Chu Ye also knew that catching this rabbit would not be easy.
Because rabbits are very agile. They are very good at escaping and are not easy to catch.
