Chapter 124: Hunting the Warthog King
But no matter what, Chu Ye did not compete with them for the throne. He still lived alone, right in the middle of the two lions.
Chu Ye has his own camp here, which is a big tree and a boulder. This place is Chu Ye's temporary home.
Chu Ye has lived here for about half a month, and he can definitely find prey here.
But Chu Ye felt that it was still a little inconvenient for him to live in this place. Because there are two powerful lions living around him. Among these two lions, there are two strong male lions. If I live here, I will conflict with these two male lions.
Although Chu Ye is not afraid of these two male lions, he can even defeat one of them and become a lion king. But Chu Ye doesn't want to be a lion king yet, he still wants to experience more of what it's like to be a wandering lion.
Although the lion king has the benefits of the lion king, the wandering lion also has the benefits of the wandering lion. Although the lion king is very majestic, with the lioness and cubs, the lion king is not so free. It's like a man is no longer so free after having a wife and children.
Therefore, Chu Ye is still willing to be a wandering lion and wants to live as a wandering lion for a few months. When he wants to become a lion king, he then considers defeating a lion king and becoming the lion king himself.
But when Chu Ye lives in this place, it is inevitable that he will have some conflicts with the two lion kings. Although Chu Ye is not afraid of them, he also feels that it is better to do less than to do more. There is no need for him to struggle with two lion kings all day just for a little food.
So, Chu Ye decided to leave this place and go to another place. This is the territory of the two lion kings, and he doesn't want to have any more entanglements with the two lion kings.
One morning, Chu Ye left his camp and walked towards the north. He knew that there were many warthogs living in the northern mountainous forests. He could go to that place and hunt some warthogs to sustain his life.
So, Chu Ye set out from his camp again and came to live in a mountain forest area more than ten kilometers away from his camp.
Arriving at this place, Chu Ye chose a big tree as his camp. During the day, he rested under this big tree. In the morning, Chu Ye would go out to hunt.
Because Chu Ye still likes to look for food in the morning, because at this time, the weather is cooler, which is when many herbivores and omnivores on the grassland come out to look for food.
Lin Feng also went out to hunt this morning.
But now is the dry season, and prey on the prairie is relatively scarce. Only animals like warthogs, which do not migrate very much, will always live on the prairie.
Chu Ye now wanted to find a warthog to fill his stomach. He had not hunted for several days.
This morning, the weather was still as good, but it was not very hot in the morning, which is when many herbivores came out to look for food.
After Chu Ye went out to hunt, he soon encountered a female warthog and several small warthogs looking for food in the grass.
Chu Ye hid in a bush. He quietly looked at the female warthog and several small warthogs.
'I was lucky. As soon as I came out, I met a nest of warthogs. Now, I can have a full meal. '
Chu Ye was very happy as he watched the group of warthogs grazing not far away. The female warthog also slowly approached Chu Ye.
'Okay, today, I'm just going to catch another female warthog and have a feast. 'Chu Ye regarded this female warthog as his target.
Originally, Chu Ye watched the female warthog slowly approach him. There are still two or three meters away from it.
Although this distance is not very far, it is not an effective hunting distance for Chu Ye.
Because this distance is quite far, if the warthog cannot be caught in a short time after exposing itself, it may quickly get into the hole.
Warthogs generally live in caves, sleep there at night, and come out to look for food in the morning.
This female warthog lives nearby. Twenty or thirty meters away from her is her nest, an aardvark hole.
Although warthogs can dig their own burrows, they generally prefer to live in aardvark burrows. After all, why go to the trouble of digging a hole yourself when there are ready-made caves!
Chu Ye wanted to let this warthog get close to him before he started attacking again. After all, his hunting success rate will be higher only if the target is within ten meters of him.
If the target is twenty or thirty meters away from the lions, the lions will have a lower hunting success rate. Therefore, Chu Ye would have to wait until the warthog was about ten meters away from him before he would launch an attack.
Originally, this warthog was getting closer and closer to Chu Ye. Chu Ye was also excitedly waiting for this warthog to enter his effective hunting range.
But what Chu Ye didn't expect was that after the warthog walked forward a few meters, it stopped moving forward. It seemed to sense that something was wrong in front of it, and then started to walk back.
At this time, Chu Ye felt helpless.
'What can I do? Just give up on this warthog. Chu Ye hesitated for a moment. He didn't know whether to continue hunting this warthog.
'No, I still have to give it a try. No matter what, I have to hunt this warthog. If I don't hunt it now, I don't know where to look for another warthog. '
Chu Ye thought about it and decided to hunt this warthog.
So, Chu Ye suddenly chased this warthog.
But at this time, the warthog was twenty or thirty meters away from Chu Ye, which was beyond the effective hunting distance of the lion.
When Chu Ye burst out from the bushes, the warthog had already discovered Chu Ye. This warthog led several small warthogs and immediately ran towards the cave not far away.
Of course Chu Ye knew that this group of warthogs was about to escape, and he was unwilling to let them go. So Chu Ye hurriedly chased after him.
But when Chu Ye was about to catch up with the group of warthogs, suddenly, a huge warthog jumped out from the bushes nearby. This warthog is at least twice the size of the female warthog.
This warthog has a ferocious appearance. Not only does it have two large warts on its eyes and face. There are two smaller 'warts' near its long fangs. The whole look looks very terrifying.
This warthog looks like an adult male warthog. Moreover, it was a very large adult male warthog. At first glance, it should be a particularly large warthog such as the Warthog King.
Obviously, this warthog king came to save this female warthog. This female warthog must be one of several female warthogs under the command of this warthog king.
This warthog king looks like it should weigh more than 100 kilograms. It also feels that Chu Ye is not an adult lion, so it doesn't take Chu Ye seriously.
Therefore, this warthog king dared to directly challenge a sub-adult lion like Chu Ye.
The sudden appearance of this warthog king disrupted Chu Ye's original plan. He originally planned to chase the female warthog. But the warthog king suddenly blocked his way, so he had to stop.
The female warthog and several small warthogs took the opportunity to run into a cave not far away.
Although this adult male warthog is the warthog king of several female warthogs, he is indeed very tall and strong. But compared to Chu Ye, its size is still a bit small.
But animals like warthogs are also quite ferocious in nature. For animals larger than themselves, they dare to attack. Elephant cheetahs and leopards are often attacked by warthogs.
Although cheetahs and leopards often hunt warthogs, they also cause warthogs to resist when they hunt them. Sometimes, warthogs can even kill cheetahs or leopards.
Therefore, the warthog is a very ferocious animal on the savannah. Especially the male warthog kings, they are so fierce that they can even challenge lions.
Now this warthog king just feels that Chu Ye is not an adult male lion, but a sub-adult male lion, so it doesn't take Chu Ye seriously.
This warthog king was originally foraging in the bushes nearby, and Chu Ye didn't notice it at all. But when it saw the female warthog being chased by Chu Ye, it immediately came over and blocked Chu Ye's way.
Chu Ye originally wanted to hunt the female warthog, but now that a king warthog suddenly appeared, he had to change his target.
Originally, there was no need for this warthog king to come out. Because the female warthog is very likely to run into the cave on her own. Because it was already very close to the cave, Chu Ye was unlikely to catch it.
If the warthogs enter the cave, it will be difficult for the lions to catch them.
Especially for a wandering lion like Chu Ye, it is difficult to catch the warthog in the cave.
Because it is difficult for a single lion to destroy a warthog hole, but a group of lions can still destroy a warthog hole and catch the warthogs inside.
But this warthog king is too arrogant. He feels that he can defeat Chu Ye, a sub-adult lion. That's why it came to Chu Ye without any scruples, and blocked Chu Ye's way.
Chu Ye now changed his attack target. He planned to attack the male warthog king directly.
In fact, Chu Ye also saw that this warthog king must be much stronger than the female warthog. But Chu Ye didn't take it seriously at all. After all, Chu Ye could defeat even the Lion King, let alone a Warthog King.
Now this adult male warthog king was standing in front of Chu Ye. He raised his head and looked at Chu Ye, as if he was not afraid of danger.
Of course, Chu Ye would not take this warthog king seriously. Since this warthog king wants to save the female warthog, Chu Ye will regard him as his new hunting target.
'Hey guys, a female warthog ran away, and a male warthog came unexpectedly. This one is bigger and fatter. That's fine, I'll hunt this adult male warthog!
When Chu Ye thought of this, he immediately started to attack the Warthog King. He raised his paw and slapped the Warthog King's big head directly.
The warthog king really didn't take Chu Ye seriously, so he opened his mouth and bit Chu Ye.
It seemed that it decided to compete with Chu Ye.
Chu Ye slapped his paw on the big head of the Warthog King and directly scratched off some of the flesh on the Warthog King's head. The Warthog King's head bled immediately.
The warthog king may also be surprised. You know, it has competed with lions before.
Even though he was a male lion, he had competed with them. Although he was injured in many places, he was not serious.
The warthog king is also very powerful in combat.
Because ordinary lion claws are not very sharp, even if the warthog king is scratched, it will only be a superficial skin injury.
But Chu Ye's scratch was very unusual.
The warthog king felt unusual pain in his head, and he couldn't help but howl.
Be aware that warthogs have very thick skin.
Even if an ordinary lion scratches a warthog, it will only be a superficial wound and nothing will happen at all.
It's just that Chu Ye is not an ordinary lion. His claws are much sharper than ordinary lions.
Chu Ye just gave the Warthog King a taste of his power with just one paw.
However, the warthog king did not run away. It was also very angry and immediately bit Chu Ye more violently. It was also angered by Chu Ye.
The warthog king's fangs are more than 20 centimeters long, long and pointed. If the warthog king's fangs pierce the body, it will definitely be injured.
Chu Ye did not dare to neglect. Under the crazy attack of the Warthog King, Chu Ye temporarily chose to dodge.
After all, Chu Ye's body is very flexible. It can avoid the attack of the Oryx, and it can also avoid the attack of the Warthog King.
Although this warthog king is crazy, it cannot bite Chu Ye.
Chu Ye was very flexible, dodging left and right under the attack of the Warthog King, and did not take the Warthog King seriously at all.
The warthog king attacked crazily for a while, and was panting from exhaustion, but it didn't bite a hair on Chu Ye.
Chu Ye saw that the warthog king's attack slowed down.
So, he began to counterattack.
Chu Ye seized the opportunity and scratched the Warthog King's back again.
A blood mark immediately appeared on the Warthog King's back.
Although the Warthog King has rough skin and thick flesh, Chu Ye's claws are so sharp that even the Warthog King's skin can be easily scratched.
Just like this, after several rounds, the warthog king was injured in many places and was dripping with blood. It was in unbearable pain and felt that it could not defeat Chu Ye, so it had to turn around and run back to the cave.
Although Chu Ye won, he knew that it would not be easy for him to capture this wild boar king.
After all, the Wild Boar King is very powerful, and it is at the entrance of the cave. Chu Ye feels that it is impossible for him to capture the Wild Boar King for the time being.
Just like that, seeing that he couldn't defeat Chu Ye, the Wild Boar King ran back to the cave. Chu Ye could only stand at the entrance of the cave and look helplessly at the escaping Wild Boar King.
However, he knew that the Wild Boar King had been injured, so its fate might be different.
In the animal world that lives in groups, it is certainly not easy to become the king. It is even more difficult to maintain one's dominance.
There are many male lions who have achieved their status as lion kings after a bloody battle. But soon their dominance may be replaced by other stray lions.
Not many male lions can rule a pride for more than a year. Fifty percent of male lions, after becoming lion kings, cannot rule for a year before being replaced by other male lions.
What's more, just a few days after becoming the Lion King, he was replaced by a new Lion King.
This is like the emperor in ancient human society.
Some emperors can last for many years, while others can only last for a few years, or even a few months, before being overthrown by new forces.
It is not easy to become a king, and it is even more difficult to hold on to the throne.
This is true not only in the world of lions, but also in the world of warthogs. It's certainly not easy to become a warthog king.
But it's even harder to become a warthog king who rules over a group of warthogs for many years. The warthog king defeated by Lin Feng was an exception.
It has been ruling this warthog group for three or four years and can be said to be a very successful warthog king.
However, Chu Ye knew that after he defeated the warthog king this time, its throne might not be guaranteed.
Because once other male warthogs discover that the warthog king is injured, they will definitely challenge his throne.
By then, the days of this warthog king ruling this group of female warthogs may be coming to an end. Chu Ye felt that he would be able to eat King Pig Meat soon.
This pig king won't have many days left. I just wait to hunt it and eat its meat!
Sure enough, after this warthog king was defeated by Chu Ye, he hid in his cave and did not dare to come out.
It stayed in the cave for a week.
The warthog king also knew very well that if his injuries did not heal soon, his fate would change.
Therefore, these days, the warthog king has been recovering from his injuries in the cave, hoping to completely heal his injuries before coming out to look for food.
It’s just that the wounds on the Warthog King are relatively deep.
Chu Ye's sharp claws were very powerful, leaving deep wounds on the rough-skinned and fleshy warthog king.
King Warthog rested in the cave for a week, but his injuries were still not fully healed.
Although a warthog can go without water for a long time, it cannot go without food for a long time.
After the warthog king stayed in the cave for a week, he couldn't help but come out and start looking for food.
Although Chu Ye saw the Warthog King's behavior, he did not come to hunt the Warthog King for the time being. Because he knew that if he didn’t have to do it himself, someone would help him do it.
Sure enough, when this warthog king came out to look for food, he encountered a strong male warthog.
When this male warthog saw that the warthog king was injured, he felt that his opportunity had come. This male warthog immediately began to attack the warthog king.
Although the Warthog King doesn't want to fight, it has no choice. In such a situation, it can only fight. In this battle, the Warthog King was defeated.
Because it was injured to begin with, its combat effectiveness has dropped a lot.
In addition, it had not come out to look for food for several days and had been starving for several days. Of course, its strength had also dropped a lot.
And this male warthog was at his most powerful. He had just eaten a lot of food and felt full of strength.
In this battle, the Warthog King was defeated.
Seeing that he could not defeat this male warthog, he immediately turned around and ran away.
