Chapter 121 The Lion King is coming
This warthog had no idea a lion was targeting it. It was just eating grass roots on that patch of grass, its tail swaying back and forth, looking leisurely.
Chu Ye was very happy to see that this warthog didn't know that it had become someone else's prey. He knew that he would be able to hunt successfully this time.
So, when the warthog was defenseless, Chu Ye suddenly ran in front of it, and then bit the female warthog's neck in one bite.
This female warthog had no chance of escaping. She had already become Chu Ye's prey before she even understood what was going on.
When the two little warthogs saw that their mother had been captured by a male lion, they were so frightened that they quickly hid in the bushes nearby.
Chu Ye caught this female warthog, so naturally he didn't care about the two little warthogs. He only planned to hunt the female warthog, and had no intention of hunting the two baby warthogs.
This female warthog started screaming after Chu Ye bit her neck.
'Ouch! ——'
After the female warthog was caught by Chu Ye, she began to struggle and scream.
It's just that the female warthog is completely vulnerable in front of Chu Ye. Chu Ye is already a sub-adult male lion, and its strength is much greater than this warthog.
Chu Ye's hunting of this female warthog can be said to be very smooth. He just pounced on the warthog and bit its throat directly.
But this female warthog only struggled a few times before giving up resistance. After all, facing a powerful wandering male lion, the female warthog can only become Chu Ye's prey.
After Chu Ye caught this warthog, he began to bite its throat hard. This warthog's trachea was quickly bitten off by Chu Ye. It just screamed twice more, struggled a few more times, and then stopped moving.
Relatively speaking, this warthog was relatively lucky for Chu Ye to catch it. Because if another predator catches it, it may have to suffer for a long time.
Although Chu Ye killed this warthog, he did it with one fatal move and did not let the warthog suffer for long at all.
This is not necessarily the case for other carnivores.
When a cheetah hunts a warthog, it is more difficult. Because cheetahs are not very powerful, they can hunt warthogs. But killing an adult warthog is not an easy task for an adult cheetah.
Generally speaking, when an adult hyena hunts an adult warthog, it will engage in a life-and-death battle with the warthog.
In such a life-and-death battle, the cheetah may not always win. Sometimes, even cheetahs are defeated by warthogs.
The battle between carnivores and herbivores in the Serengeti savanna. It’s not always the predators that win. Sometimes, the relationship between prey and hunter can also be interchanged.
Just like the relationship between cheetahs and warthogs, although cheetahs can regard warthogs as prey. But when a cheetah hunts, the cheetah doesn't always win. There's also the possibility that the former Warthog wins.
If the warthog wins when the cheetah hunts the warthog, the warthog may also eat the cheetah. Warthogs are omnivores and can eat meat.
Of course, there will be certain dangers when cheetahs hunt warthogs. Warthogs are not in danger when hunted by stronger animals like leopards and lions.
Although leopards have to work hard to hunt warthogs, leopards are much stronger than cheetahs. When leopards hunt warthogs, they generally do not let the warthogs kill them in return.
But cheetahs are different. Since cheetahs are not very strong, when they hunt warthogs, they may let the warthogs kill them.
But no matter what, cheetahs will take risks to hunt warthogs. After all, for any carnivore on the savanna, every hunt is an adventure. Although there are many dangers during the hunting process, the prey may even fight back. But in order to survive, carnivores must compete with herbivores.
During the dry season, food is scarce. Warthogs have become the main food of many carnivores.
Carnivores like leopards often hunt warthogs. And when hunting a warthog, it may take some time to kill it.
In this case, the warthog will suffer a lot. Because the leopard is not very powerful, it cannot kill an adult warthog as quickly as Chu Ye did. When a leopard hunts a warthog, it also needs to torture the warthog for a long time before it can kill it.
If several leopards hunt a warthog together, they may eat the warthog alive. In this case, the warthog will be even worse.
The warthog is one of the more miserable animals on the savannah. Not only will it become the prey of many carnivores, but it is also often eaten alive by some carnivores.
Even when a pride of lions hunts a warthog, it may eat the warthog alive. Because when a group of hunters catch prey, they compete with each other.
At this time, these carnivores may not wait to kill the prey and start eating directly.
Some of the scenes of carnivores hunting on the African savannah that we saw in "Man and Nature" are actually relatively humane scenes that we ordinary people can accept.
Some of the carnivores we see on TV often bite the herbivores directly in the throat when hunting, and then kill the herbivores.
In fact, behind the scenes, many predators hunt by eating them alive. It doesn't always have to be a fatal move.
Because carnivores on the prairie also live in groups. When they hunt, they also hunt in teams.
In this way, when these groups hunt prey, the fight will begin immediately. At this time, they will be very cruel and eat the prey alive directly, instead of waiting until the prey is dead before starting to eat.
Warthogs are often eaten alive by other carnivores. Therefore, warthogs are one of the more tragic animals on the prairie.
However, we generally don’t see very bloody scenes on TV. The scenes we see are relatively humane and not particularly bloody.
Chu Ye killed this warthog, which can be said to be very humane. It took just a few minutes to end the warthog's life.
It usually takes a single cheetah or leopard half an hour to kill an adult warthog. Think about how much the warthog must have suffered in these half an hour!
Chu Ye killed this warthog directly, and it was lucky for this warthog to encounter such a neat hunter like Chu Ye.
'Haha, I can finally taste pork again. In human society, I don’t eat less pork! It’s just that I don’t eat much pork on this prairie. '
Chu Ye was very happy when he saw that he had killed this warthog. I feel like I’m about to have a pork dinner.
But at this moment, he suddenly heard another lion's roar.
'Ouch! ——'
Just as Chu Ye was about to start eating the warty pork, he heard the roar of a lion not far away.
'Hey, what's going on? Why is another lion coming? '
Chu Ye looked up and saw a strong lion running towards him. It's just this one male lion, and there are no other lions.
When Chu Ye saw this situation, he felt that this male lion should be a stray lion, a lion that was wandering outside like himself.
As soon as he saw this situation, Chu Ye quickly looked around.
Originally, Chu Ye thought that since a lion was coming to snatch his prey, he should drag the prey to the big tree like last time. Because only in this way can he protect his prey and prevent it from being snatched by other lions.
But when Chu Ye looked around, he felt that the situation was not good. Because he found that there were no big trees near him. The nearest big tree may be more than a hundred meters away.
And the male lion in front of him was almost running in front of him, only forty or fifty meters away from him.
Chu Ye knew that no matter how hard he tried, he could not drag his prey to the big tree more than a hundred meters away.
Even if Chu Ye had spiritual energy in his body, he couldn't drag his prey past the lion that was about to run in front of him.
'Forget it, it's too late to drag the prey away now, I'd better compete with this male lion! Anyway, it's just a person and has no helpers. I should be able to defeat it. '
Seeing that he could not drag the prey, Chu Ye quickly ran to a big tree a hundred meters away. He had no choice but to fight with this male lion.
In fact, this male lion is not a wandering lion. It was the lion king of a pride of lions located west of the place where Chu Ye rested.
This lion king was patrolling his territory just now, when he suddenly saw a stray male lion entering his territory and captured a warthog.
This is not bad, a stray lion invaded its territory, and also captured a warthog on its territory, so how could it drag the warthog away?
This male lion became very angry after seeing Chu Ye. While roaring angrily, he ran towards Chu Ye.
Originally, this male lion thought that as long as he ran towards Chu Ye, Chu Ye would be so frightened that he would give up the prey and run for his life.
After all, this male lion also saw that Chu Ye was not as powerful as him. Chu Ye was not an adult stray male lion, but a sub-adult stray male lion.
Since Chu Ye is a sub-adult wandering male lion, he will definitely run away immediately if he sees a mature lion king.
However, what Chu Ye did was completely beyond the expectations of this lion king.
'Huh! What's going on with this stray lion? It didn't let itself be scared away. ’ This lion king was still thinking about this problem while running towards Chu Ye.
'This stray male lion must have thought that he was a lion king. He was frightened by his tall and strong appearance. 'This lion king still thought that Chu Ye must have been so frightened by his strong image that he ran away.
'Haha, I can catch two prey now. Not only can I get the warthog, but I can also kill this stray lion. Now, all the lions in our pride can have a full meal. '
This lion king became more and more beautiful the more he thought about it, feeling that he could kill Chu Ye and get the prey captured by Chu Ye.
Chu Ye just looked at the lion running towards him, and he quickly recognized this lion. Because Chu Ye lives in the middle of two lion groups these days, he can see what the lions in both groups look like as long as he stands on a big tree.
Chu Ye also had a vivid memory of the appearance of the lion king among the two lions. He had already remembered the appearance of these two lion kings in his mind.
Now Chu Ye looked at the lion king running towards him, and he knew that this male lion was not a stray lion, but the lion king in the lion group to the west of the place where he was resting.
'Oh my god, it turns out to be a lion king! I don't know if I can beat it. '
When Chu Ye knew that the lion he was about to face was not a stray lion, he felt nervous.
You know, Chu Ye has never really competed with a lion king. Although he had competed with the lion king of the lion group in the east before. But that's only on the big tree, not on the ground. At that time, Chu Ye was on top of the big tree, which could be regarded as occupying a certain terrain advantage.
It was only when Chu Ye had the terrain advantage that he defeated the lion king of the lion group to the east.
If Chu Ye was not on the big tree but fighting against the lion king on the ground, he didn't know if he could defeat that male lion.
Now Chu Ye suddenly had to compete head-on with a lion king on the ground, and of course he was a little nervous.
However, Chu Ye knew that no matter what, he didn't have to worry too much. Because even he can't defeat this monkey king. But he can definitely escape. As long as he escapes, this lion king may not be able to catch up with him.
When Chu Ye thought of these things, he no longer felt nervous. Now that he has become a wandering lion, he will definitely compete with various lion kings frequently in the future.
Now that I have met this monkey king, I have to compete with this lion king first to see if I have the ability to compete for the throne.
When Chu Ye thought of this, he slowly encouraged himself, asking himself to calm down first, and then concentrate on competing with the lion king in front of him.
And this lion king had already run in front of Chu Ye. It saw that Chu Ye was not afraid and did not run away. It felt a little strange in its heart.
This lion king just stared at Chu Ye and roared twice more. It did not immediately start attacking Chu Ye.
