Besides a couple of pets on a nearby farm, he finds a large, conveniently overcrowded warren nearby called Efrafa. Hazel sends a group of rabbits to attempt to befriend the other warren. In between the envoy's leaving and return, Hazel and a few others break out three of the pet rabbits. Hazel is wounded, but he manages to make it back.
It's a giant wound ripped in the sky, with flies crawling on it. A rabbit corpse falls out of it, and disappears in mid-fall. Even worse, it's moving and descending toward him. He panics, falls down a hill, and passes out. When he wakes up, he's feeling better, and hears the voice of Frith telling him to take it easy.
The way Woundwort treats the arrival of the dog as it races towards the warren at Watership Down, chasing both Hazel and Bigwig to the edge of the burrow. Unlike the novel and film versions where he's caught by surprise and attacks it out of instinct, he just stands there , unperturbed and bearing a Slasher Smile as it futilely tries to dig ...
YMMV /. Watership Down (2018) WesternAnimati…. Awesome Music: Sam Smith 's "Fire on Fire", a hauntingly gorgeous song that beautifully taps into the story's themes of fear, hope, love, and friendship.

Crosses over with a Heartwarming moment and a (happy) Tear Jerker, but it's no less awesome. At the end of the book, Hazel and Fiver's adventures have been immortalized as that of El-ahrairah's and Rabscuttle's. Hazel dies — of old age. Something every rabbit strives to do. No one caught him.
If you want sequel material, I recommend Tales From Watership Down. It's a lot of short stories, the first two parts about El-ahrairah, the last vignettes about the warrens after the failed invasion. The stakes are much lower, but it also means that Richard Adams didn't rely on creating a series of escalating threats to keep the story going.
