Chapter 76 Speeding Up a Jumping Rabbit
"Hmph, you're still not convinced! I think you'll have to wait until your next life to compete with me! In this life, you don't have much of a chance." After saying that, Chu Ye raised his paw and closed the baboon's eyes.
After killing the baboon, Chu Ye didn't want to eat it. Although Chu Ye had never eaten baboon meat before, he didn't intend to taste it.
Because Chu Ye possesses a human soul, it naturally perceives baboons, which are also primates, differently from other animals.
"Forget it, I'll pass on this baboon. Let the other lion cubs enjoy the baboon meat!"
Thinking of this, Chu Ye picked up the baboon and returned to the other lion cubs. He then tossed the baboon to the other lion cubs.
These lion cubs were starving! Now that they saw food, they were overjoyed and rushed to snatch it.
For these real lion cubs, it doesn't matter whether the food is baboon meat or some other animal. As long as it's edible, these often hungry lion cubs will naturally accept it without hesitation.
These lion cubs didn't share Chu Ye's thoughts; they didn't care whether the baboon was a primate or not. In their eyes, this baboon was no different from the wild dogs or hyenas they had encountered before.
When the lion cubs saw the dead baboon, they immediately began to fight over it. This baboon had now become a delicious meal in the eyes of the lion cubs.
While Chu Ye watched the other lion cubs scrambling for the baboon, he didn't join in; he simply observed the baboons from the sidelines.
Actually, Chu Ye was also feeling a bit hungry, but he didn't want to eat this baboon. However, when he saw the other lion cubs fighting over the baboon, he felt even hungrier and wanted to go over and snatch some food as well.
"No, I can't eat baboon meat. I want to eat other animals." Although Chu Ye really wanted to taste baboon meat, he still resisted the urge to eat it.
Chu Ye felt extremely hungry and wanted to find some food to eat.
So Chu Ye climbed up the big tree again, wanting to see if there were any prey he could hunt nearby.
But Chu Ye looked around for a long time and still couldn't find any prey he could hunt. After all, at this time, there were no other small animals in the lion pride's territory.
"I'd better take advantage of the cool weather and go find some prey elsewhere! I can't just watch the other lion cubs eat while I go hungry!"
Thinking of this, Chu Ye climbed down from the tree and walked into the nearby bushes.
Chu Ye felt that with his own strength, he could already contend with many carnivores on the grasslands. Although he was still a lion cub of just over six months old, his strength was no less than that of an adult lioness.
Chu Ye felt that although he couldn't compare to a fully grown male lion, he was roughly on par with a fully grown female lion.
Although Chu Ye is not large in size, its strength and ability have reached the level of an adult lioness.
Now Chu Ye can move freely in its territory, it knows. As long as it doesn't stray outside its territory, it should be safe.
Chu Ye searched for his prey in the grass. His favorite food was, of course, a juvenile rabbit. He wanted to catch one to satisfy his craving.
"If only I could run into another hoppy rabbit," Chu Ye thought to himself.
Just as Chu Ye was thinking this, his dream actually came true. He suddenly saw what looked like small animals moving about in the grass ahead. The grass was rustling back and forth. Clearly, there were small animals searching for food inside.
Upon seeing movement in the bushes ahead, Chu Ye quickly went over.
Of course, he walked very carefully, afraid that small animals in the grass would see him.
Fortunately, the small animal didn't see Chu Ye. Chu Ye could get very close to the small animal.
"Holy crap, it really is a juvenile rabbit!" Chu Ye was hiding about ten meters away from the small animal. He spotted a juvenile rabbit in the grass ahead, searching for grass roots to eat.
"Haha, I can finally enjoy the delicious taste of the rabbit again." Thinking this, Chu Ye slowly approached the rabbit.
This little rabbit was so focused on finding food that it had no idea danger was approaching.
Of course, it's also possible that Chu Ye is too small; its size isn't much larger than the rabbit. So, if it hides near the rabbit, it naturally won't attract the rabbit's attention.
If it weren't a cub, but an adult lion, how could it possibly have escaped the notice of this leaping rabbit?
Although this rabbit is looking for food, it is also on guard against the sounds around it. Its ears are constantly turning around, listening to the sounds around it.
However, Chu Ye was too small, and his movements made relatively little noise. Therefore, the hopping rabbit did not notice Chu Ye.
When Chu Ye was about five or six meters away from the rabbit, he suddenly darted out of the bushes and pounced on it.
Even so, the jay still spotted Chu Ye beforehand. After all, this jay was an adult. Its alertness was very high; as soon as Chu Ye began to pounce on it, the jay immediately noticed and reacted quickly.
Before Chu Ye could even reach the leaping rabbit, it immediately sprang into the air. True to its name, the leaping rabbit could jump two or three meters high in an instant, and even five or six meters away.
Now, Chu Ye could no longer directly catch the rabbit. The rabbit was temporarily out of danger.
However, when the jalape realized that its predator was only a lion cub, it became less nervous. After all, in the perception of an adult jalape, a lion cub wasn't very strong, and it didn't need to worry about the cub being able to catch it.
"Hmph, you little lion, you think you can catch up with me, a grown rabbit? You're just dreaming! You're really just daydreaming!"
After running for about ten meters, the rabbit looked back. When it saw that it was only a lion cub chasing it, it felt it didn't need to run so fast anymore. Furthermore, it confidently believed that the lion cub couldn't possibly catch it.
But soon, the hopping rabbit sensed something was wrong. The little lion was running way too fast, completely exceeding the rabbit's expectations.
"Hey, this is really weird. How can this little lion run so fast? It's even faster than me!"
The rabbit thought Chu Ye couldn't catch it. But when it looked back, Chu Ye was already right in front of it.
"No, I need to speed up, otherwise I really won't be able to outrun this little lion."
Seeing that Chu Ye was running so fast, the rabbit dared not underestimate him anymore. So, it also sped up and ran forward.
But no matter how fast the rabbit ran, it couldn't outrun Chu Ye. Chu Ye quickly caught up with the rabbit.
"Oh no! This little lion is catching up with me! I need to get into the den right now!"
The hare thought that if it kept running, the little lion would soon give up. The hare felt that the little lion couldn't outrun it.
But after running forward for only a hundred meters, the rabbit felt that the little lion behind it was moving too fast, far beyond its imagination.
So the rabbit decided to hide in an underground burrow. Because hiding in an underground burrow was the safest option.
Generally, when spring rabbits are out foraging for food, they stay near their burrows. The reason they stay near burrows is that they can quickly hide underground in case of danger.
The same thing happened to the rabbit. When it realized it couldn't outrun Chu Ye, it quickly ran towards one of its burrow entrances.
Chu Ye knew that to catch a juvenile rabbit, he had to act quickly. Otherwise, once the rabbit reached the entrance of his burrow, it would be impossible to catch it.
So Chu Ye immediately sped up his pace.
About ten meters ahead, there's the entrance to a rabbit's underground burrow. If the rabbit runs past, it can hide inside the burrow.
Chu Ye knew that if he wanted to catch this rabbit, he had to catch it before it went into its burrow. Otherwise, he wouldn't be able to catch it.
Fortunately, Chu Ye was fast enough that he pounced on the rabbit just as it was about to enter its burrow and bit its neck.
The rabbit looked like it could easily enter the burrow. But Chu Ye caught it when it was only a meter or two away from the entrance.
This little rabbit could only watch helplessly as the burrow entrance lay right before it, knowing it would likely never have the chance to enter that burrow again in its lifetime.
Chu Ye immediately bit the rabbit's throat. The rabbit was smaller than Chu Ye.
In that case, this hopping rabbit would appear utterly vulnerable in front of Chu Ye.
You should know that even wild dogs and hyenas, which are larger than Chu Ye, are no match for him, let alone this little rabbit.
