Chapter 1989
After eating and drinking to his heart's content, Henry's energy was refilled. He then climbed to the top of a tall white birch tree and looked around. Looking far into the distance, excluding the white birch forest, there was a vast snowfield, snow flew all over the sky, nothing much could be seen! The only thing that could be vaguely seen in the distance was the towering snow mountain.
Even if he wanted to walk to the snow mountain in the distance, using only his legs... he would also probably have to walk for several months! Henry was speechless, he climbed down the tree helplessly.
"Looks like we'll have to stay in this birch forest for a while!"
Henry said to the Divine Baby.
"Ya, ya!"
After having its belly filled, the baby spread the deerskin by the fire and crossed his legs lazily, looking as if he was not worried at all.
Although he was less than a meter tall, his mobility was exceptional, and could be compared to a seven-or-eight-year-old child.
"We can't stay here forever."
Henry, on the other hand, had a frown on his face.
He had the feather given to him by the Great Priest of the Hong Clan. He did not fear the beasts there, but Cesia, Ranjeet and Gardiner did not have any feathers.
If they had also lost all of their powers and came across giant beasts, the consequences would be unimaginable! Therefore, Henry had always been worried about their safety.
However, in the situation Henry was currently in, it was pointless for him to worry about them.
With just his two legs, he knew that searching for Cesia, Ranjeet and Gardiner was just a foolish dream.
He could only find other ways.
Henry peeled a lot of white birch barks and made a lot of thick ropes with the help of the Divine Baby, Then he set up some more traps in the depths of the jungle.
He had to first solve the problem on food.
Only then could he find a way to get out of here.
Unexpectedly, for several days in a row, there were no more giant deer caught in the noose traps.
Even the moss and grass bait placed in the traps were untouched.
Back then, when the giant deer was caught in the noose trap, the other giant deer seemed to have become more cautious no longer ate the baits placed on the trap.
In fact, they even evaded the baits.
Henry and the Divine Baby were not idle either.
Henry found a sharp stone and tied it to a wooden stick, making a stone axe.
He used a stone axe to cut several barks from birch trees and built a conical wooden house.
When night came, Henry and his son would light a fire in the wooden house and sleep in it, it was very warm inside.
Henry also used the deer hide to make deerskin clothes and boots for him and the Divine Baby. That way, they would not feel as cold when they travelled in the snow.
The four giant antlers of the giant deer were even more treasured.
Henry sharpened the antlers, tied them to wooden sticks, making a long spear and two hunting forks.
As for the hardest part of the deer, its skull, Henry made two bone knives out of them, to be used as steak knives.
Henry also washed the deer's stomach with snow and made it into a leather pouch. It could be used to save up the deer's blood, so that it would not be wasted.
Henry even began to make a bow with deer's tendons.
If he had the bow, he would no longer have to worry about being unable to hunt the deer.
However, bows and arrows were not easy to make. It would take a very long time.
Many days had gone by, but not a single deer had been caught in the several noose traps.
Fortunately, Henry had buried the deer meat in the snow, preventing the meat from rotting. Otherwise, the giant deer would not be suitable for consumption.
However, even until Henry and his son had finished up all of the deer meat from earlier, they never found any more giant deer.
Henry had to use his new tools and had to improve how the noose traps were triggered. He also designed some trip activated noose traps.
As a result, a giant deer fell into one of the traps that night.
Its neck was firmly caught in the noose and was completely unable to break free.
"Ya, ya!"
The Divine Baby's eyes lit up. He picked up his bone knife and was about to rush forward to kill the giant deer and drink its blood.
"Don't kill it!"
Henry stopped the Divine Baby.
"Ya?"
The Divine Baby looked at Henry in confusion.
"Can't you see?
It's a mother deer that has just given birth!"
Henry pointed to the distance. "Its fawn is also in the distance!"
"Ah!"
The Divine Baby looked in the direction that Henry pointed at, and sure enough, he saw a fawn. It looked at its mother that had been caught in the trap fearfully. It did not dare to approach the trap, but it did not flee.
"Let's keep this deer for its milk!"
Henry used a very tough rope to make a halter, then put it around the head of the female deer, and tied the rope to the huge birch tree, only then did he loosen the rope at the neck of the female deer.
"Whoosh!"
When the female deer was released, it ran to its fawn with all its might, but before it could get to its fawn, it was pulled back by the rope connected to the halter around its head.
The momentum of the female deer was so strong that the huge birch tree shook violently! A massive heap of snow fell from the tree, almost burying Henry and his son under it.
The white birch tree was massive,
birch tree
and there was a lot of snow
gathered atop it! Henry and his son
struggled to climb out of the snow, then saw that the female deer and its fawn had been reunited, and were munching on grass in the forest.
The ropes connected to the halter was very long, allowing the doe to move freely with its fawn in a large area of the forest.
Henry led the Divine Baby to shovel more moss and withered grass with their bone shovels and placed them somewhere further away in the forest. The doe and its fawn would go over to eat it after Henry and his son had left.
Through that method, the doe and the fawn were being raised by Henry and his son.
Although no more giant deer were caught in the traps, Henry's bow and arrow had finally been completed.
The bowstring was made of deer tendon, making it very powerful! It took a lot of effort for Henry to pull at it.
The arrowheads were made of deer bones and was very sharp! The fletching were made of the feathers of the giant eagle that the Divine Baby had picked up in the forest.
Henry concealed himself in the snow and waited quietly, quietly waiting for more giant deer to come over.
After an entire day of hiding, some
deer flocked into Henry's range of

fire! Henry held his breath and loaded his bow. After aiming at them for quite a while, he finally
loosened the bowstring and released the arrow! "Swoosh!"
The arrow, which was nearly one meter long, shot out like lightning and hit the neck of a huge deer! Blood spurted out from the neck of the huge deer,
but it jumped up and fled.
Henry quickly clambered out of the snow and chased the trail of blood.
After a while of chasing, he saw that the giant deer had died in the snow.
Henry used his bone knife to slit the throat of the giant deer, then used his leather pouch to receive the remainder of blood.
That was the only source of salt for him and the Divine Baby.
Next, Henry skinned gutted the deer, then cut off one of its legs, and brought it back to his campsite.
He returned to see that the Divine Baby had shovelled some grass and was feeding it to the giant doe and its fawn.
After being fed for several days, the
two deers were no longer afraid of the Divine Baby, Henry should be able to milk the doe soon... And just like that, Henry and his son were able to live in the birch forest hunting deer to survive.
Ever since he had a bow and arrows, Henry could not only hunt for enough food, he also defend against fierce beasts.
In the Snow Forest, there were not only giant white wolves, but also many other fierce beasts.
White bears that were larger than elephants, white tigers, snow leopards, and snow ferrets that were as larger than sheep.Text © owned by NôvelDrama.Org.
Those beasts were not only gigantic, but also had bizarre appearances.
They might have three tails, or long horns. They were vastly different from the beasts of the ancient land's Vast Thousand Worlds.
It seemed as though they were all magical beasts from the legends.
Sometimes, they would come to the birch forest to snatch Henry's prey.
Fortunately for Henry, he had that feather!
