The Strongest Lion

Chapter 29 Eating a Baby Badger

Chapter Twenty-Nine: Eating a Baby Badger

After thinking it over, Chu Ye decided that he would just eat the baby badger himself and not bother to be a good person and take it back for the other lion cubs to eat.

However, for safety's sake, it carried the baby badger into the bushes, not wanting other predators to see it, as that would be troublesome.

So Chu Ye carried the little badger into the bushes and prepared to eat.

But when Chu Ye started eating, he realized that the food packaging was a bit tight. No matter how hard Chu Ye tried, he couldn't seem to bite through the little badger's skin.

"Damn it, did I just get a freebie? Does this mean I'm not going to get to eat this little badger's flesh?!" Chu Ye struggled for a long time but couldn't bite through the little badger's skin and flesh, and he cried out in frustration.

"How can I bite open the skin of this little badger?" Chu Ye thought for a solution.

Fortunately, he possessed a human soul. He slowly examined the little badger's body and felt that he should try looking under the little badger's neck.

He had just killed the baby badger right below its neck. But when he wanted to eat it, he wanted to bite directly into the belly. He'd seen other carnivores start by eating the belly of their prey.

Chu Ye first tried to bite the little badger's belly, but after biting for a long time, he only managed to bite off some fur and couldn't bite through the flesh at all.

So Chu Ye decided to try biting the badger's chin.

His bite seemed to work; it broke through the badger's skin in one go. With a breakthrough, things became much easier.

And so, Chu Ye started biting at the badger's chin, slowly tearing through the entire skin of the little badger.

This little badger was already a sub-adult, not yet fully grown, and its skin and flesh were not yet very firm.

If it were an adult badger, Chu Ye might not have been able to get his hands on it.

Chu Ye finally managed to bite open the little badger's skin and flesh. Looking at the fresh flesh and blood, he felt a strong appetite. Normally, lion cubs like Chu Ye, who are four or five months old, mainly feed on milk.

However, there's no way around it; during the dry season, the lion cubs can no longer be weaned until they are six months old. They usually eat until they are four or five months old, after which they have to mainly eat meat.

Because during the dry season, lionesses often don't have enough to eat, so they don't have much milk for their cubs.

The children are often hungry; they only want to drink milk and don't want to eat meat.

But when they can't get enough milk, they have no choice but to try eating meat.

Chu Ye had no choice. He hadn't had any breast milk for two or three days, and his stomach was growling with hunger. If he didn't want to starve to death, he would have to find prey to eat himself.

This little badger only has two or three kilograms of meat. Although it's not much, it's enough for a four- or five-month-old lion cub to have a full meal.

And so, Chu Ye ate the little badger in this thicket.

He felt much better after eating the baby badger. The baby badger completely filled him up, and he even let out a satisfied burp.

After eating his fill, Chu Ye wanted to return to the lion pride. After all, he was still too young, and it was dangerous for him to be out there alone.

There are definitely other predators in this thicket, and it would be troublesome if they found him.

Therefore, Chu Ye decided to return to the lionesses as soon as possible. Only by staying with the pride would he be relatively safe.

After taking a few steps, Chu Ye thought that although he was full, the lioness and the cubs were still hungry!

"Oh well, I won't eat these bones. I'll take them back and give them to the lion cubs!"

Looking at the bones of the badger cubs that he had left behind, Chu Ye wanted to take them back and give them to the other lion cubs.

With that thought in mind, Chu Ye picked up the bones and headed toward the lion pride.

He quickly returned to the pride.

The two lionesses were still sleeping, while the male lion was nowhere to be seen. Perhaps he went to patrol his territory, or perhaps he was too hungry and went to find food on his own.

Chu Ye carried the baby badger's bone to his mother, Lisa.

Lisa was sleeping when she suddenly smelled blood and immediately stood up.

Elsa was the same; she was lying next to Lisa, and when she smelled the blood, she immediately stood up.

The lion cubs were the same; when they smelled the blood, they also came to Chu Ye's side.

Chu Ye threw the bone of the baby badger in front of the lioness Lisa.

The lioness stared in astonishment at the baby badger skeleton. She seemed genuinely surprised.

Although the baby badger was reduced to a skeleton, the lioness Lisa recognized it as the skeleton of a baby badger at a glance.

For lions, the badger is not someone to be trifled with. Even an adult lion would have a hard time dealing with a badger, let alone a cub.

Before Chu Ye preyed on this little badger, there was no four- or five-month-old lion cub that could prey on a badger.

Lisa looked at the bones on the ground, then at Chu Ye, as if she didn't understand where Chu Ye had gotten such a set of bones.

It wondered if Chu Ye had picked them up somewhere else, if they were leftovers from other animals, and if he had brought them back.

But Lisa also felt that it was the dry season, and no matter what kind of prey's bones they were, if other predators caught them, they would eat them along with the flesh and bones, and wouldn't just leave the bones behind.

What's more, this is the bone of a baby badger. These little guys are the little tyrants of the grasslands, and not just any animal can eat them.

The lioness couldn't understand where Chu Ye had gotten such a bone. But regardless, the bone was fresh, with some flesh and blood still on it.

Lisa smelled the flesh and blood and immediately began to eat it.

Elsa, too, couldn't resist the temptation and came over to eat some.

But how could the bones of such a small badger be enough for two lionesses?

So the two lionesses started fighting over this small piece of bone.

The lion cubs were also starving. After smelling the blood, they came over and tried to steal the food from their mother.

The lioness is large and strong, so how could the cubs possibly get any bones to eat?

Lisa and Elsa fought over the baby badger's bones, and soon the two lionesses had chewed up the baby badger's complete skeleton. The baby badger's bones were scattered all over the ground.

The lion cubs, unable to snatch the large bones, could only pick up some scattered bones from the ground to taste the small badger.
