Under torture Samneric had revealed Ralph's plan to hide in the thicket. Initially Jack and his tribe rolled a boulder from the top of Castle Rock in an attempt to either kill, injure or drive Ralph out of his stronghold. When that plan failed they decided to smoke Ralph out, unfortunately for the hunters their fire quickly got out of control and threatened to burn the entire island. Once Ralph had broken cover and had made a run for it the tribe put into place their next tactic. This was to spread out across the width of the island and keep contact with each other by making a calls.
In "Lord of the Flies" by William Golding, Ralph is hunted by Jack and his tribe as they become increasingly savage and power-hungry. They use fear and violence to track him down and attempt to kill him as they try to impose their rule over the rest of the boys on the island.
Golding's language in this chapter uses visceral imagery and primal instincts to portray Ralph as a hunted animal. Phrases like "suddenly dogged him", "snarling" and "pursuit" evoke a sense of fear and vulnerability commonly associated with animals being hunted in the wild. The language choice intensifies the feeling of imminent danger surrounding Ralph.
I think words to describe this is savage, dangerous, etc.
Jack admits to Ralph that if he's not hunted he feels uneasy and unsafe in the jungle as if he's being hunted and something is following him (quote from book) "If you're hunting sometimes you catch yourself feeling as if--" He flushed suddenly. "There's nothing in it of course. Just a feeling. But you can feel as if you're not hunting, but--being hunted, as if something's behind you all the time in the jungle".
Ralph runs away in "Lord of the Flies" because he is being hunted by Jack and his tribe, who have descended into savagery. Ralph knows that his life is in danger, and his only option is to run and hide in order to survive.
In "Lord of the Flies," Ralph is hunted by the other boys, who have turned savagely cruel under Jack's leadership. He is saved just in time by a naval officer who arrives on the island. Ralph is rescued, but the experience has changed him forever.
Ralph finds out from Sam & Eric that Ralph will be hunted down by Jack's tribe and Roger will "sharpen a stick at both ends". That could mean that Jack's wants Ralph's head, or something symobic like the harm done onto another causes harm to oneself.
Jack and Roger have sharpened a stick at both ends to hunt and kill Ralph. Their plan is to hunt Ralph like they did with the sow, to terrify him and flush him out. Samneric warn Ralph that they are being hunted and that Jack's tribe will sharpen a stick at both ends and have Roger guard the way in.
Golding describes Ralph's flight across the island as desperate and filled with fear, with Ralph feeling hunted like an animal. Ralph's flight is depicted as a struggle for survival as he navigates through the treacherous landscape to escape the violent hunters pursuing him.
Ralph learns of Jack's plans for him in Chapter 12 when he overhears Samneric's conversation about Jack's intention to hunt him like a pig. This revelation prompts Ralph to flee for his life through the jungle while being hunted by Jack and his tribe.

At the end of chapter 10 in Lord of the Flies, the power dynamic has shifted completely as Ralph is now alone and hunted by Jack and his tribe. Jack's group has taken control of the island, sidelining Ralph and focusing on their own savage desires. Ralph, once the leader trying to maintain order and civilization, is now in a vulnerable position, facing isolation and possible harm.
