Chapter 356 Snow Root Seeker
Even Petra Sun fell in a daze because of shock looking at the axe embedded in the tree trunk.
Then everyone turned and glanced at Lin Lee in unison with speechless and different expressions on their faces.
Especially his elder sisters behind him were extremely surprised, recalling their first axe throw experience; their expression became a little embarrassed.
"He is really amazing; Azzura couldn’t even pull out the axe with both her hands."
Auro muttered, looking at Lin Lee with a bright gaze. The Azzura beside her became depressed, but she didn’t say anything because it’s the truth.
"Ahem, very good, very good, but it seems this was a lucky shot. Go bring that axe back and shoot it again." Father Sun then returned to his senses, coughed, and ordered Lin Lee again.
Lin Lee nodded and walked forward toward the tree trunk; after reaching near it, he became speechless looking at the axe hanging above.
"Hehehe," Instantly, a laughing sound spread from behind; all females glanced at him and the axe above and laughed, making fun of his short height; even Father Sun turned his head away, controlling his twitching mouth.
Lin Lee sighed and then ran forward at full speed after running on the tree trunk vertically. Instantly, he grabbed the handle and pushed his leg with a backflip; he landed back on the ground with an axe in his hand.
Amidst the silent and surprised expression of his whole family he returned to the previous place and then turned around and threw the axe again using same inertia,
Bang!!
Once again the axe flew and embedded in the tree, coincidentally it smashed into same place as before, once again refreshing everyone’s expression,
"When did you learn how to throw an axe?"
Father Sun glanced deeply at the axe in the tree trunk and then turned around, asking Lin Lee, The first time it may be a coincidence, but the second time the same result is called an experience.
Lin Lee shook his head and replied with a thoughtful expression on his face, "I didn’t practice axe throwing before; I just felt if I threw it like this, then it would reach the target despite my low strength."
Father Sun’s eyes lit up looking at him. ’Genius, I didn’t expect my son to have a natural hunter talent.’
Suddenly he thought of those natural hunter giants with joyous expressions shrouded in his face.
"Very good, practice the axe-throwing technique a little more following your heart, then I will teach you the rock shot and camouflage technique,"
Father Sun suppressed his excitement and then praised and encouraged him to practice more.
Lin Lee nodded understandingly and then walked forward, pulling out the axe again, while his father went inside the house along with the females.
’This civilization is really backward in using hunting techniques, axe throwing, stone shot, really a giant barbaric way to hunt,’
Lin Lee thought to himself and then glanced at the tree trunk, threw the axe again,
…
Another one and a half years passed.
On the back hill of Petra Mountain,
A four-meter small giant is sitting cross-legged on the ground. He is a small giant wearing only clothes that cover his private parts, like other male and female giants in the villages.
He is no other then Lin Lee who just became three years old my, but his height is already a four meter which indicates he is at stage four of giants,
He is the only special and rare case among the giants, even his father danced cheerfully upon seeing his height increasing at such high pace, which indicated he has an unimaginable potential never seen before,
Lin Lee opened his eyes, feeling the changes in his body.
’The blood flowing through my veins is like a heavy mercury; also, my spirit became more active than before, but this exercise affects the physique more than the soul; it seems it will take a while for me to access my soul space and everything inside,’
He thought to himself, looking at the river far away passing behind the mountain, then he stood up and walked toward it feeling the unimaginable hunger in his stomach,
After catching a few small fish from the river, Lin Lee felt the river water was colder than usual.
"It seems the hunting season is coming; the weather seasons in this world are really strange; their duration spans years; next it will be an ice age for the next four years, and before that wild beasts will leave their hideouts in order to gather a lot of food for their survival; at the same time giants will hunt these beasts in this duration, which is known as hunting season among giants."
Lin Lee muttered, feeling the chill in the river water, which can even affect the movement of his hand, then he glanced at the five small two- or three-foot fish.
’It seems the large fish have gone deeper in the river where the current is slow and warm; probably I won’t be able to catch any fish in the next few months,’ Lin Lee thought to himself and then turned around, picked the five fish, and started preparing them.
After eating them all, he turned and glanced at the river with an unsatisfied expression on his face.
"It seems I have to hunt beasts instead of these river fish; my future consumption of food will increase by a huge margin."
Lin Lee muttered thoughtfully and then stood up and walked toward his home. Basically, he eats more than normal children because of his exercise, but he didn’t want to burden it on his family.
After returning to his house, he glanced at his eldest sister, who was knitting the clothes.
’It seems I have to work on cloth manufacturing,’
Lin Lee thought to himself looking at his naked body and revealing clothes of other family members around, he is only wearing shorts, as for the female in house they were just covering their upper and lower private parts with clothes, there is no concept of footwear among giants, the base of their feet are hard as rock and soft as leather, even jumping on a spiky stone won’t affect the feet in any way,
’Anyway, I know one thing after arriving in this civilization: giants know no shame.’
Lin Lee thought to himself, recalling the few strange encounters in this home, which isn’t normal for human civilization, like parents exercising anywhere in the house without caring about children looking at them or not.
Then he shook his head, turned around, and walked away, returning to his room.
’It seems I have to leave the house just before the ice age arrives; probably the family won’t dare to venture out and find me at that time. Finding a separate cave and hoarding resources there is the best option for me.’
Lin Lee thought to himself and then lay down on the rock bed.
…
A few weeks passed,
Inside a snow-white field,
A large white buffalo and deer mix-shaped beast is walking through the snow, with long twisted horns above its head; it is looking at the surroundings vigilantly and then digging the snow with its head looking for something.
While it didn’t know a figure was lying a few meters away from her and looking at it silently,

’Snow root seeker, a beast that digs the snow in order to find the buried small grass and plants roots, as green plants wither upon the arrival of ice age leaving roots behind, which is the favorite food of root seekers, I have to be careful, this beast has a very high sense of smell,’
Lin Lee was lying in the middle of a large white fur coat, observing the beast a few meters away from him. The beast smelled the snow and slowly moved toward his direction.
While Lin Lee slowly wriggled in the snow, adjusting his angle toward the beast, he stretched his hand out from the side of the coat and grabbed the handle of the axe lying beside him.
After reaching the four-meter size, he can now easily use the axe with one hand.
’Come forward, a little more, a little more,’
Lin Lee glanced at the beast coming toward him, suppressed his heartbeat, and took a deep breath.
Just as the beast reached a meter away from him, suddenly it stopped and its ear stood up.
’It’s time,’ Lin Lee thought and acted decisively; he rolled and threw the axe toward the empty area beside the beast.
Just as the beast was startled by his movement and it moved reflexively, at the same time, an axe passed just below his neck.
Swish!
"Goooooooan," The beast roared, red blood spurted out from its lower neck, and it turned around and started running away, leaving behind a wide blood trail.
Lin Lee hurriedly stood up, snow splattered around, and chased after it; after picking up the axe, he followed the blood trail with a calm expression on his face.
