He stopped. Not too far ahead of him, on the other side of the blacktop highway, was a woodchuck. A damned fat one. Sleek and sassy, too. Instead of scurrying off into the high grass, it was coming on ahead. There was a fallen birch sticking its top half out onto the shoulder of the road, and Barbie was betting the woodchuck would scurry under there and wait for the big bad Two-Legs to go by.
Question 1: In this case, what's the meaning of 'come on ahead'? (what's the meaning of 'ahead' here?)
Question 2: Here, come on = move faster? ahead = forward? If not, could you tell me their meanings here?Question: Here, is 'come on' relevant with speed ( FASTER )? ( come on == move FASTER? )
