As the rabbit drew closer, a glint of light flashed in the lynx's eyes. With a powerful push from its hind legs, it leaped down from the tree and pounced directly at the furry rabbit.
Sensing the attack, the fleeing rabbit pricked up its ears in alarm and instantly turned around while running. This is a natural skill of the wild rabbit, effectively allowing it to evade attacks.
The lynx is a mature hunter, very familiar with the natural skills of hunting hares, and almost simultaneously turns in mid-air to continue its attack on the hare.
The hare was startled and rolled awkwardly on the ground, its beautiful fur turning gray from the muddy earth. Just as it was about to kick its legs and continue its escape, it was already firmly grabbed by the lynx's forelegs.
"Squeak squeak~" The rabbit was in a panic after being caught, its two big black eyes filled with fear.
The three-lobed mouth moved, letting out a terrified cry.
It felt its neck being bitten, and it feared it would die in the next second.
The hare struggled fiercely, trying to shake off the hunter with its powerful hind legs.
The lynx won't give it a chance to escape; its skillful hunting techniques are enough to allow it to lock its prey in a throat while rolling around.
The lynx bit down viciously, its sharp teeth instantly tearing through the snow rabbit's skin.
Bright red rabbit blood flowed out, and the wild rabbit let out a mournful cry, its struggling movements instantly weakening considerably.
Everything happened in the blink of an eye, in just four or five seconds.
Lin Qian and Yong Qi watched helplessly as the lynx suddenly appeared, swooped down, and swiftly pounced on the rabbit.
This sudden change initially stunned the two brothers for a moment.
Then came anger!
Courageously stepped forward, barking and threatening to drive away the lynx.
"Roar!!!" Where did this bastard come from! How dare he intercept my prey!
Five-month-old tiger cubs are not much larger than adult lynxes, and they have no advantage in size or hunting experience.
Although courage is outgoing and carefree, it is not reckless. It may seem fierce, but it still maintains a safe distance.
Hearing the roar, the lynx looked up and saw the black-striped, yellow-skinned tiger cub baring its sharp canine teeth in a show of defiance!
It was already wary of the tiger cubs, and with a nimble turn, it retreated several steps while carrying the rabbit in its mouth.
Its eyes quickly scanned its surroundings, and it found that apart from the two tiger cubs, it still could not see the figure of the forest's ruler, which made it feel more at ease.
The lynx's gaze was deep as it silently stared at the two tiger cubs.
"Ugh... Uh-ah..." The lynx suddenly let out a strange cry, warning the two tiger cubs not to come closer.
The snow hare is already its prey; those who know what's good for it should stop bothering it.
Lin Qian glared at the feline in front of her, her eyes filled with rage.
He and Yongqi had been staking out this rabbit for ages before finally catching it, so being ambushed halfway through naturally infuriated them.
So what if the lynx howls fiercely? He's not afraid!
"Roar!!" Put down the rabbit, and you can get lost!
The young king looked down at the lynx with disdain, showing no fear whatsoever.
Courage bared its teeth and growled, revealing its sharp claws to the lynx. The tiger cub had grown sharp teeth and claws and was no longer a helpless little cutie.
As soon as the slightest opening is found, the tiger cub will immediately launch an attack!
The lynx was taken aback. It thought that the two tiger cubs, who were obviously inexperienced, would be scared away by it. Unexpectedly, the tiger cubs did not back down at all and even had murderous intent towards it.
Although lynxes are not small, it is unwise for two to take on one!
Even a five-month-old tiger cub can already inflict harm on it. Besides, it has always been timid in the face of the king of the forest; what it did just now was merely a bluff.
With a plump adult hare in its mouth, the lynx clearly couldn't retreat easily. Unable to scare away the tiger cubs, the lynx had no choice but to abandon its prey, no matter how unwilling it was.
"Ugh!" With a helpless growl, the lynx put down the hare, nimbly took a few steps back, and seeing that the tiger cubs had no intention of attacking, it immediately turned around and quickly left.
Having successfully driven away the lynx, the rabbits once again became the brothers' prey.
Despite some minor setbacks, Lin Qian and Yongqi were still very excited and happy!
This was the first time the two brothers had ever hunted and caught their own prey!
The hare, barely clinging to life, stared blankly at the approaching tiger cub; its large, dark eyes made it look somewhat adorable.
"Squeak~" The hare squeaked timidly, its voice weak and feeble. Its neck was covered in blood, making it look pitiful.
Lin Qian felt a pang of pity for this furry little animal.
Its fluffy body, big eyes, and innocent expression are truly endearing.
His human soul flared up.
Lin Qian slowly walked towards the snow-white rabbit, came to its side, and then stretched out his forelegs, gently touching the rabbit's body with his paw pads, and then slowly rubbing it.
This wild rabbit is plump and has thick fur; its soft body feels really comfortable to touch.
The hare seemed to sense Lin Qian's gentleness, and its tense expression relaxed.
Lin Qian instantly felt a sense of healing and cuteness. Just as he was about to hug the snow-white rabbit and knead it, he felt a surge of warmth and tenderness.
A tiger's roar rang out beside me.
A pale yellow figure flashed past his eyes, and courage suddenly pounced on the cute snow-white rabbit!
The tiger cub opened its sharp teeth and instantly bit the rabbit's throat!
"Squeak!!!" The hare, having suffered a fatal attack, struggled with its last remaining strength for a couple of moments before dying...
"Awooo!! Awooo!!" Having successfully killed the rabbit, Yongqi jumped up and down excitedly, yelling loudly.
This was the first time it had killed prey it had personally obtained.
The sense of accomplishment from the "toys" that the tiger parents had given it before is incomparable to this.
Courage stood tall and proud, looking incredibly smug. It was happy and proud of killing the hare.
The mother tiger slowly emerged from the bushes, a hint of relief appearing on her face as she looked at the hare in front of her cubs.
The little ones are growing up so fast; in the blink of an eye, they're already able to hunt together, and their hunting skills are perfectly coordinated.
At this age, it only stays in its fixed habitat and doesn't even dare to leave the house, far less capable than tiger cubs.
In the days to come, it's time to hunt some large, live prey; no amount of small animals can train a true hunter.
The little guys need to be exposed to more large and medium-sized prey such as wild boar, red deer, and roe deer. Only by being able to defeat prey of equal or even greater weight can they become top predators on their own.
Courage, oblivious to his mother's thoughts, was happily admiring his spoils.
Looking at the dying rabbit, Lin Qian's initial feeling of healing vanished instantly. A faint sense of regret followed.
Sigh, he shouldn't have been charmed by the rabbit; courage beat him to it!
He was very excited about his first successful hunt! It was such a loss that he couldn't finish off his prey himself!
