My Waste Husband novel 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!"

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.
