Chapter 1988
"They might be magical beasts..." Henry looked at the herd of deer thoughtfully, "Whatever, I shall not let my child continue to starve. Today, I'll catch one and roast it, even if it's a magical beast!"
"Ya, ya!"
When the Divine Baby heard about roast deer, his tiny eyes instantly curved into smiles.
"Calm down, kid. We don't have any tools with us, catching a giant deer won't be easy! You can first go pick up some firewood and start a fire to keep yourself warm!"
"Ya, ya!"Têxt © NôvelDrama.Org.
The Divine Baby nodded and headed to the snow covered forest in search of dried twigs.
At that point, his wings could no longer keep him in the air for long periods of time. He could only walk in the snow like an ordinary child and pick up firewood. Dressed in only a robe made of feathers, he was so cold that he kept shivering.
Henry found some dry wood fibres, then tore off some bark from a birch tree and made a short bow-like tool, he then began drilling wood to start a fire.
Although he had lost his powers, his strength was still much greater than that of the ordinary. Moreover, Henry was very well trained in surviving in the wild.
Even so, it still took nearly half a day for a coal to form on the dead wood, which lighted up the wood fibres beside it. Beads of sweat dripped from Henry's head, it was tiring work.
"Ya, ya!"
The Divine Baby cried out loudly in excitement.
Henry cradled the wood fibres in his hand, carefully blowing at it for a long while. Only then did a fire emerge, lighting up the dried branches the Divine Baby had picked up, producing a large fire.
The father and son sat by the fire. It was finally less colder.
"What the hell is this place?
To think that the two of us would end up in such a predicament!"
Henry shook his head and smiled bitterly. "Back in the ancient land, I, your old man, am the Immortal King of the human race whom people of the world bow to!"
"Yaaa..." The baby did not pay any attention to what Henry said at all, he just pointed to a huge white deer in the distance.
"You stay here and watch over the fire. I'm going to hunt a deer for you!"
Henry got up and went to the depths of the forest to find some sharp stones to be made into tools. He peeled off the bark of birch trees and returned by the fire, rubbing the bark into ropes as thick as an arm.
The Divine Baby seemed to understand that Henry planned to hunt the deer with those ropes, so he also helped.
After working for a long while, the father and son finally managed to make a rope that was dozens of meters thick. They were tired and drenched in sweat.
The light in the sky was getting increasingly dimmer, night was soon about to fall.
Henry had arrived at the depths of the jungle. He climbed up a tree, tied the rope to a soft and flexible branch, and set up a noose trap.
There were many ways to set up a noose trap. Due to the lack of tools at hand, Henry could only make a simple one.
After setting up the trap, Henry and the Divine Baby brought heaps of dried grass and moss from nearby and put them into the noose trap as a bait. "Ah, ah..." The Divine Baby looked at the simple trap with a puzzled expression on his little face.
"Don't worry! Those deers look pretty stupid, we'd definitely be able to catch one!"
Henry said as he held the Divine Baby in his arms.
"Rumble..." The Divine Baby's stomach began growling again.
"I'm afraid we won't be able to feast on deer today. We can only wait until tomorrow!"
Henry sighed and said, "Let's go and sleep by the fire. We won't be feeling so cold when we are asleep."
The father and son then returned to the fire.
At the same time, the sky darkened.
Although it was always snowing in that dimension, and there were no suns, moons, or stars, based on how the sky changed from bright to dark, it was probably similar to other diimensions.
The Divine Baby lay in Henry's embrace and fell asleep. Henry, on the other hand, shaved a branch as thick as an arm into a sharp spear. He then placed the tip of the spear above the fire and roasted it, increasing the hardness of the spear.
Back in the ancient land, even if Henry had no powers, it would only take a knife and a short while to make a similar spear.
However, in that gloomy dimension, Henry only had a few sharp rocks. He only managed to complete the spear in the middle of the night.
Henry sharpened the sharp stones again, then he cradled the Divine Baby in his arms and shut his eyes for a while.
He had to continue adding firewood. If the fire were to be extinguished, beasts might attack him.
If there were a group of huge white wolves in the daytime and Henry had fell asleep, it would be terrible... It was still snowing heavily on the morning of the next day.
They were fortunate enough to have come across that birch forest. Otherwise, Henry and his son would have had to spend the night in the snow." "Ya, ya!"
The Divine Baby awoke in Henry's embrace and pointed to the depths of the dense forest in the distance where there were traps. He was starving to death.
Henry's stomach had also rumbled for a whole night, and he felt weak.
He had never felt that hungry for a long time.
"Let's go and check our luck!"
Henry held the Divine Baby in his arms. Then, they finally made it out the dense forest and stretched out.
"Ya, ya!"
The Divine Baby cried out with excitement from far away.
It turned out that the noose trap from yesterday had really caught them a giant white deer by the neck.
The noose was getting tighter and tighter, and the giant white deer was already lying on the ground and was on the verge of dying.
However, when it saw Henry and his son coming, tried its best to jump and struggle. As a result, the noose around it kept getting tighter and tighter. The giant white deer was soon unable to breathe and fell to the ground again, its eyes rolled to the back.
With the wooden spear Henry had made on the night before, he seized the opportunity and did his best to pierce the spear into the throat of the giant deer.
The giant deer struggled for a while and then died.
Henry pulled out the wooden spear, and blood spurted from the wound of the giant deer! "Ah!"
The Divine Baby ran over and gulped down mouthfuls of deer blood.
Covering him in blood and mess.
Henry also went over to take a few sips.
The father and son pair had kept on eating snow whenever they felt thirsty on the day before.
Now that he had finally hunted a deer, he could not afford to waste the deer's blood.
Traps of that sort did not have a good chance of success. Henry did not know when he would be able hunt the deer again, so he could not waste anything from the deer.
What's more, there was salt in the blood of animals. In that vast snow field, finding food was manageable, but there was no place for them to find salt.
Henry knew that he and the
Baby had now become ordinary
beings. Since they could feel hunger,
if their bodies lacked salt, it would
certainly mean trouble to them.
The father and son drank up the deer's blood, and then they quickly picked firewood and made a. Another large flame was set alight right beside the
deer
Henry cut the giant deer open and peeled its skin with sharp stones, then cut off big chunks of meat, skewered it with branches, and roasted it on the
fire.
However, the Divine Baby had already picked up a large piece of raw meat and began to wolf it down in large mouthfuls.
"Eat it after it's cooked. We're just ordinary people now, we might get sick!"
Henry shook his head helplessly.
However, the meat was also just cooked for a
while, and
Henry also began eating.
He had already been so starved that
he felt dizzy! The meat of the deer was extremely tender and delicious, even taster than roast beef! The
father and son ate happily, not stopping until they were full! The Divine Baby was also no longer as insatiable as it used to be,
After eating as much roast meat as Henry, he rubbed his little belly and stopped eating with a satisfied expression.
"We must think of a way to leave this damn place!"
Henry sighed.
