Chapter 52 Chasing the Jumping Rabbit
Chapter Fifty-Two: Chasing the Jumping Rabbit
After all, a male lion might eat its own cubs if it is extremely hungry.
Chu Ye didn't seem to care about Zeke's behavior. Although he felt that Zeke had gone too far, he thought about how he was in the lion's world and didn't care anymore.
A single wild dog is barely enough to fill a lion pride's teeth. Although Chu Ye poached a wild dog from the pack, the Jike lion pride had no idea that Chu Ye had stolen the dog from its den.
Lisa, though somewhat resentful of the wild dogs and suspecting they might have stolen her cubs, was also used to life on the savanna. The animals living on the savanna were naturally preoccupied with killing each other.
On this vast grassland, there is no right or wrong, no fairness or justice; on this vast grassland, there is only survival and death. All the animals compete together, and it's either you die or I die.
Even if Lisa knew that Chu Ye had stolen and killed this little stray dog, she wouldn't know that it was because Chu Ye wanted to avenge Mao Mao!
Lisa had almost forgotten about her cub, Mao Mao. For a lioness who had already lost many cubs, Mao Mao was just another one she had lost.
But to Chu Ye, Mao Mao was his own brother. The thought that this pack of wild dogs had killed Mao Mao made him extremely angry.
So Chu Ye went to raid the enemy camp alone. Although things didn't go smoothly, he eventually managed to poach a stray dog, which could be considered revenge for Mao Mao.
Chu Ye didn't expect Lisa to understand his actions; he was simply doing what he wanted to do.
After that incident, life in the pride seemed to return to normal. Lisa and Elsa continued their regular hunting trips. The cubs, meanwhile, were growing up with difficulty. Although they might go hungry every day, there were no more lost cubs.
A few more days passed. One morning, after watching Lisa and Aisha go hunting again, Chu Ye started wandering around again. Of course, Chu Ye couldn't just rely on the two lionesses to bring back food for them anymore; he had to find food himself.
Now Chu Ye secretly slipped into the nearby bushes again, looking for food suitable for his hunting.
For a young lion like Chu Ye, the prey he most desires to hunt is undoubtedly the water rabbit. After all, only the water rabbit is about the same size as Chu Ye. If Chu Ye manages to spot a water rabbit, he decides to test his hunting skills.
Last time, Chu Ye had single-handedly stormed into the enemy camp and even killed a stray dog. For Chu Ye, this was truly a meaningful experience.
It was because of his previous experience that Chu Ye became bolder.
"Today, I'm determined to catch a hare; I want to taste rabbit meat. I believe I can catch one."
Chu Ye was confident; after all, he already had experience hunting wild dogs. This was a significant growth and progress for him.
While the other lion cubs were still playing under the big tree, Chu Ye slipped into the bushes alone, determined to try his luck and see if he could catch a little rabbit.
Spring rabbits generally prefer to hide in bushes, as they are not very big and it is safer to hide in bushes.
At this moment, the lion Zeke was simply taking a nap on a large rock next to a big tree. Last night, Zeke encountered another wandering male lion, fought again, and sustained some injuries, but he won once more. For now, he can still be the lion king.
Chu Ye weaved through the nearby bushes, hoping to spot a juvenile hare. He had initially thought he simply wanted to catch one. But whether he would actually encounter one was uncertain.
Just as Chu Ye was thinking this, he actually saw a rabbit eating some wild fruit next to a bush not far away.
"Great, I've actually run into one! I'm definitely going to get some rabbit meat today!"
When Chu Ye saw the little rabbit, he was very excited. He felt that he would definitely be able to eat rabbit meat today.
So, Chu Ye slowly walked towards the hopping rabbit. Of course, he didn't dare to walk very fast, but secretly went around it from the side of another bush.
"Hmph, I'm sure I'll succeed this time. If I just get around this thicket, I'll be right behind this hoppy rabbit. Then I can pounce on it!"
Chu Ye became more and more excited as he thought about it, and couldn't help but lick his tongue again. Clearly, he was already savoring the delicious rabbit meat in his mind.
Just as Chu Ye was about to reach the rabbit's rear end and was about to pounce, Zhang Jie accidentally bumped into a branch of a bush.
The branch suddenly snapped. That single snap was enough to alert the rabbit; it immediately leaped up and ran away.
"Damn, I'm so stupid, I let this guy get away."
Chu Ye felt somewhat helpless, but since Jump Rabbit had already discovered him, he might as well just chase after him!
So Chu Ye began to work hard to catch up.
This was an adult juvenile rabbit, very experienced in escaping. Upon seeing that Chu Ye was a cub, it seemed to become bolder. Surprisingly, it didn't run very fast, but kept a safe distance, preventing Chu Ye from catching it.
"Hmph, are you deliberately trying to annoy me? I'm going to speed up and catch up with you."
Chu Ye was furious when he saw that the rabbit wasn't running at full speed, but only stopping and starting. So he started chasing after the rabbit at full speed.
And only then did the hopping rabbit begin to run at full speed.
Soon, the rabbit had run several hundred meters away, and Chu Ye had also chased after it for several hundred meters.
Now Chu Ye saw the rabbit running towards a big tree, and he chased after it, trying to catch up with it.
But when the rabbit ran behind the big tree, it didn't run past it again.
Because the big tree blocked Chu Ye's view, he wondered if the jumping rabbit was hiding behind it.
"Hmph, you think you can hide behind that big tree and I won't catch you? How laughable. Watch me run over and grab you today."
As Chu Ye thought about it, he ran behind a big tree, hoping to catch the rabbit in one go.
