Chapter 83 Chasing the Water Buffalo Herd
Just as Chu Ye was thinking this, the water buffalo suddenly went berserk and ran towards their den.
"What's going on? Why are they suddenly running this way? The grass over there is so nice! There's so much green grass, why aren't they eating it?"
Chu Ye couldn't understand what was wrong with this group of water buffaloes. Why would they suddenly run towards their burrow? Wasn't that abnormal?
But after watching for a while, Chu Ye understood what was going on. It turned out that three lions were chasing the buffalo behind them.
At first, Chu Ye wondered if the lions from the neighboring pride were hunting this herd of buffalo again. But when Chu Ye saw the three lions clearly, he was greatly surprised.
Chu Ye saw that the three lions chasing the herd of buffalo were Lisa Aisha and Jike.
"Oh no, these three lions from our pride are going to make the same mistake as the pride next door." Chu Ye was very worried when he saw that it was his own pride's three lions.
Chu Ye now understood why the buffaloes had run towards their den. They were being chased by three adult lions from their own pride.
Jike, Lisa, and Aisha were forced to chase the buffalo herd because they couldn't find any other prey.
Since it's the lions of this pride chasing the buffalo herd, they will naturally let the buffalo run into their own territory, not into the territory of the neighboring pride.
Jike, Lisa, and Aisha were only thinking about hunting the buffalo. They didn't care what kind of threat the buffalo would pose to their lion cubs.
But Chu Ye, standing atop the tree, could see it clearly. These water buffaloes were running towards their burrows.
The three lions following behind the herd of buffalo were unaware of this. Their sole focus was hunting a buffalo. A single adult buffalo would provide the pride with enough food for many days.
That's why the Zeke pride risked hunting these buffaloes. Although hunting these buffaloes was very difficult for the Zeke pride, given that they only had three adult lions, and each buffalo was extremely strong, it was not something that two or three lions could easily succeed in hunting.
But the Jike lion pride had no other choice. Although they weren't very confident, they still wanted to give it a try.
Jike, Lisa, and Aisha probably never imagined that their actions today would create such a dangerous situation for their lion cubs.
Standing atop a large tree, Chu Ye watched as the water buffalo herd began to run towards their den, and he was extremely worried.
Fortunately, the buffalo herd was unaware that seven or eight lion cubs were near a large tree not far away. As they ran, they were forced to change direction due to the influence of the vegetation on the ground.
Because of the abundance of bushes on the ground, the buffalo herd had to choose areas without bushes when running. As a result, the buffalo herd could not run in their original direction and gradually deviated from their original course.
Seeing that the buffalo herd had deviated from its original direction, Chu Ye felt somewhat relieved. He felt that the lion cubs of their pride would no longer be under any threat.
The three lions chasing after the buffalo had no idea what kind of threat the buffalo's running route would pose to their cubs.
Chu Ye breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the water buffaloes deviate from their original direction and run towards the due north.
Just when Chu Ye felt relieved, he discovered something extremely dangerous.
It turns out that one of the lion cubs from the Jike pride wanted to go out and find food after the lionesses left. After all, the cubs hadn't eaten for two or three days.
Lion cubs need to be fed regularly. They are not as resistant to hunger as adult lions.
Adult lions can go for long periods without food without any problems. However, if lion cubs go without food for ten days or so, their lives may be in danger.
While Chu Ye was away from the vicinity of the den in search of food, a lion cub also left the den to search for food.
This little lion cub is Lisa's offspring, also known as Chu Ye's younger sister, Mei Mei.
Meimei wanted to go hunting outside like Chuye. But instead of going out with Chuye, she went to the nearby bushes to catch and eat small insects.
Chu Ye was standing on the big tree, and seeing that the water buffaloes had already moved far away from their burrows, he felt relieved.
But when it suddenly saw a lion cub leave their den and catch insects to eat in the nearby grass, its heart skipped a beat.
However, Chu Ye felt relieved when he saw that the buffalo herd was already far away from their den. He figured that the lion cub that had escaped should be fine too.
Just when Chu Ye felt relieved, the three adult lions chasing after the buffalo herd made another mistake.
This mistake was made by Lisa herself. As she watched the buffalo herd begin to run due north, she sped up and ran in front of the herd, blocking their path.
After being stopped by Lisa, the buffalo herd had no choice but to change their original route and turn back to run due east.
In this way, the buffalo herd ran towards the place where Chu Ye and his lion cubs were hiding.
If these buffalo herds continue in this direction without changing course, they only need to run another hundred meters or so to see seven or eight lion cubs playing under that big tree.
If that's the case, then the problem is quite serious.
Although Chu Ye had already dug a hole under the big tree, it was so that the lion cubs could hide in the hole if the herd of water buffalo attacked them.
But whether the lion cubs would actually hide in the tree hollows as Chu Ye suspected, upon seeing the buffalo herd, was uncertain.
"Oh no, these buffalo are heading straight for the lion cubs again."
Standing atop a large tree, Chu Ye watched the scene unfold, his heart filled with worry. But he was powerless to help. Three lions were hunting the buffalo, and Chu Ye had no idea how to aid the lion cubs in their peril.
"Damn it, you three stupid lions! Don't you know your cubs are in danger? Why are you chasing these buffalo? You should lead them away! You can't keep running forward!"
Chu Ye had no other choice but to rely on the three adult lions in this extremely dangerous situation.
The buffalo are now getting closer and closer to where the lion cubs are. The buffalo herd is making a great commotion as it runs.
The lion cubs, who were staying under the acacia tree, heard a series of thumping sounds coming from the ground. These were the sounds of cattle running across the grassland, their hard, iron-like hooves striking the ground.
The lion cubs had stopped playing and were looking around in fear, trying to figure out where the huge sound was coming from.
Because the lion cubs were small, they couldn't see what was happening outside while hiding in the grass. They only felt the thumping sounds coming from the ground, which were very frightening and greatly frightened the cubs.
Chu Ye's heart was in his throat as he looked at the scene before him.
"What should we do? What are these little lions standing there for? You all need to get into the tree hole right away!" Chu Ye looked at everything from a nearby tree, pacing anxiously back and forth on the tree branches.
Fortunately, Lisa realized her mistake after making it.
Lisa finally sensed danger when the buffalo herd began running towards their den.
So Lisa sped up again, ran ahead of the buffalo herd, and blocked their path once more.
The buffalo herd had to change direction once again, heading southeast.
When Chu Ye saw that Lisa had actually realized what was happening and sensed that her lion cubs might be in danger, she changed the direction of the buffalo herd once again at the most critical moment, Chu Ye felt relieved.
But things can sometimes turn out very dramatically.
Just when Chu Ye felt relieved, Mei Mei made another mistake.
As this lion cub hunted insects outside, it found itself drifting further and further away from its den.
It was also very frightened when it heard the sound of the buffalo running.
But at this moment, Meimei felt a little confused and had no idea what to do.
Meimei originally wanted to run back to her nest as quickly as possible. However, in her panic, she lost her way. Instead of running towards her nest, she started to move away from it.
And the direction Meimei ran in was exactly the direction the buffalo herd was running in.
Oh no, the buffalo herd will definitely find Meimei. If that happens, everything is doomed. I have to go save Meimei.
Meimei was practically Chu Ye's younger sister. He couldn't just stand by and watch Meimei get killed by those water buffaloes.
However, Chu Ye still thought that if Mei Mei was lucky enough, these water buffaloes would probably run faster than her. By the time Mei Mei reached them, the water buffaloes would have already run far away.
But things didn't go as Chu Ye expected. Because of their large numbers, these water buffaloes weren't running very fast.
