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.
