Chapter 81 The Little Lion Digs a Tree Hole
Chu Ye thought about it over and over again for a while, and felt that the "climbing the tree" method was not very good. He had to think of another better way.
"But what good idea should I come up with? I must think of one today. Otherwise, the buffalo herd will attack our pride tomorrow, and if I haven't come up with a good plan by then, who knows what the consequences will be."
Chu Ye was feeling a bit nervous. After all, if he didn't come up with a good solution by today, he might run into that herd of water buffaloes tomorrow.
Chu Ye was pacing back and forth under this big tree. The other lion cubs, on the other hand, seemed completely carefree. After all, for the other lion cubs, having food was the best life; they were like human children, completely oblivious to the problems of life.
Chu Ye is not a simple little lion; he has human-like thoughts as well as thoughts that only adult lions have.
"Climbing trees won't work, so how about we dig a hole? If we lion cubs were attacked by a herd of buffalo, we could hide in an underground burrow, wouldn't that be very safe?"
Chu Ye suddenly thought of a very good idea. He felt that this method would definitely work.
However, after thinking about it, Chu Ye felt that digging a hole might not be so easy. After all, lions don't dig holes.
Although lions have sharp teeth and claws, they are not good at digging. It seems that lions have never tried digging.
Although lions often climb tall trees, they rarely dig burrows in the ground. They seem to be quite bad at digging.
"Hmph, although other lions aren't good at digging, I'm a special little lion. I'm a little lion with the abilities of a badger, so I should be able to dig."
Chu Ye knew that he was different from the other lion cubs; he possessed the abilities of a badger, so of course he could dig burrows.
"Okay, that's settled. I'm going to dig a hole. If a herd of buffalo attacks, I can let these lion cubs hide inside. That way, they'll be safer."
So Chu Ye prepared to start digging. But as he was about to begin, he started wondering where he should dig.
At first, Chu Ye thought he would dig a hole in the bushes. That way, when the buffalo herd attacked, the lion cubs could quickly hide inside.
But Chu Ye thought again that doing so wasn't very safe. Buffalo are one of the five largest mammals in Africa, and they are enormous. Each adult buffalo can weigh over a ton.
Such a heavy body could potentially destroy a cave if it stepped on it.
The buffalo's iron hooves are truly formidable. If the burrow were dug into the bushes, it would undoubtedly pose a significant safety hazard to the lion cubs.
Because if a herd of buffalo attacks, even if the lion cubs hide inside their dens, the buffalo could trample the dens and kill the cubs inside.
"No, I can't dig the cave in the bushes. I need to find another place to dig it." Chu Ye thought and thought, and felt that he couldn't dig the cave in the bushes.
Although these lion cubs often roam in the bushes, if they are dug in the bushes, they can easily enter underground burrows.
But Chu Ye thought that doing so would also be very dangerous and would not guarantee the safety of the lion cubs.
It's important to know that buffalo herds are incredibly powerful. Especially when they see lion cubs, they transform into frenzied monsters.
Chu Ye paced back and forth, pondering where to dig the cave.
After thinking for a while, Chu Ye saw the big tree in front of him and immediately figured out where to dig the cave.
"I dug the burrow under this big tree, so that when the buffalo herd attacks, the lion cubs can crawl into the burrow. Then, those crazed buffalo won't be able to do anything to the lion cubs."
Chu Ye had a brilliant idea: he would dig the cave under this big tree. That way, no matter how powerful the water buffalo herd was, they wouldn't be able to shake this tree, which was as thick as a floor.
So Chu Ye started digging a hole under this big tree.
Chu Ye had initially thought that he had never dug a hole before and didn't know if he could even do it. He was also worried that he wouldn't be able to complete the task.
But when Chu Ye actually did it, he found it wasn't as difficult as he had imagined. He already possessed the superpowers of a badger, and in terms of digging, he was almost on par with a badger.
Chu Ye then began digging a hole under the large tree using his sharp claws. Soon, he had dug a hole about a foot deep under the tree.
Of course, this depth is far from enough; it's only deep enough to hide one lion cub. And this pride currently has eight cubs, so this small hole certainly can't hide all eight.
So Chu Ye continued digging deeper.
The other lion cubs didn't notice Chu Ye's actions at first. It was only after Chu Ye had been digging for a while that the other lion cubs noticed him.
Hey! What's that little lion doing? Why is it digging a hole under the big tree?
The other lion cubs were playing under the big tree. When they saw Chu Ye digging a hole under the tree, they ran over curiously.
Chu Ye ignored the lion cubs' curiosity and focused intently on digging the tree hole. He knew he had to complete this task today, as a herd of buffalo could attack their pride at any moment.
In this way, Chu Ye finished digging the underground tree hole in about an hour. Although he was panting heavily, he was very happy looking at his masterpiece.
The tree hole wasn't as difficult to dig as Chu Ye had imagined. After crawling under the big tree, he felt that the soil below was very soft, and soon he dug an underground cave about one square meter in size.
Chu Ye originally intended to dig the hole deeper. However, after digging, he felt that it wasn't necessary to make it very deep; it would be enough to just make the bottom part larger.
So, Chu Ye dug a hole about one meter square under the big tree. With this hole, the little lions were safe.
Furthermore, Chu Ye also felt that this tree hollow was very safe, because it was located in a thicket of bushes beneath a large tree.
You wouldn't notice this tree hole from the outside. You only see it when you're inside this thicket of bushes.
After Chu Ye dug the tree hole, he started going in and out of it to see if it was suitable for the lion cubs to quickly crawl inside.
If a herd of buffalo attacks, then every second counts. If the lion cubs can't all quickly crawl into this tree hollow, then they won't be able to protect all of them.
So Chu Ye first felt around and, if he felt that a certain spot was not suitable, he made some adjustments.
After several revisions, Chu Ye felt the cave was perfect. So, he let the other lion cubs try it out.
The other lion cubs were also very curious at first and wanted to crawl into the cave to take a look! But none of them dared to go in until Chu Ye gave them permission.
After spending these past few months together, Chu Ye had established authority among the lion cubs. And his authority was absolute; if he wanted the lion cubs to do something, none of them dared to object.
Chu Ye's current abilities far surpass those of these little lions. Not to mention that any one of the little lions is no match for Chu Ye, even if all seven of the other little lions attacked together, they would still be no match for Chu Ye.
You must understand, Chu Ye is a lion cub capable of defeating adult wild dogs and adult hyenas. To these ordinary lion cubs, Chu Ye is practically an adult lion, and they all feel a certain respect for him.
Even Xiao Hei, who used to dare to oppose Chu Ye, now doesn't dare to oppose him at all. It obeys Chu Ye's every word.
After Chu Ye dug the tree hole, he tested it a few times himself and felt it worked very well. Only then did he let the other lion cubs crawl in and try it out.
The other lion cubs watched Chu Ye crawling in and out of the tree hole and found it very interesting, so they also wanted to crawl in and play!
But before Chu Ye let them crawl inside, none of them dared to go in. They could only watch longingly as Chu Ye played by himself.
After Chu Ye experimented with it himself, he let the other lion cubs try it out. The other lion cubs followed Chu Ye's example, crawling around inside the tree hole and finding it very interesting.
When Chu Ye saw that the tree hole was still quite spacious after all the other lion cubs had crawled inside, he felt that he had successfully dug his tree hole and could use it to avoid attacks from the buffalo herd.
The other lion cubs had no idea why Chu Ye had dug such a hole; they just found it fun and kept crawling in and out of the tree hollow. Chu Ye, however, knew exactly why he had dug the hole.
