Viewers in the live stream chat were also discussing it enthusiastically, marveling at the amazing instincts of animals, with comments scrolling rapidly:

"The instincts of animals are so powerful; this is practically a warning from nature!"

"Yes, in comparison, humans sometimes have to rely on these animals to detect danger."

"I remember that my elementary school textbook described many animals' reactions to impending rain, such as swallows flying low and ants moving their nests."

"I can also predict the weather. Whenever the temperature is about to drop, my rheumatism flares up terribly. It's always right."

"Just thinking about it hurts."

Lu Fan continued forward, his steps light and steady, each step firm, his eyes constantly watching the movements around him.

Suddenly, a notification from the Heavenly Dao sounded in my mind.

[Sika deer spotted in the river ahead]

"Big Black, hide!"

Lu Fan raised his hand to signal, and Da Heixin understood. He immediately crouched down, like a lurking assassin, and silently hid in the grass.

They crept forward and saw a sika deer drinking water by the clear river.

The sika deer has a lithe and agile body, and its fur is dotted with white spots like stars. Under the sunlight, the spots shimmer with a charming luster, making it look exceptionally beautiful and captivating.

Lu Fan immediately stopped and carefully hid behind a thick tree.

He slowly took the bow and arrows off his back, his movements as gentle as a breeze. He nocked an arrow, drew the bowstring taut, and stared intently at the sika deer, his eyes revealing focus and determination.

His breathing was steady and slow, and he made every movement silently, afraid of making the slightest sound to disturb the alert animal.

The sika deer seemed to sense a hint of danger. It suddenly raised its head, its ears perked up, and it looked around warily.

Lu Fan held his breath and hid behind the tree like a statue, while Da Hei obediently lay on the ground, not daring to breathe.

Time seemed to stand still at that moment, and the whole world seemed to be muted, with only the rustling of the wind through the leaves and Lu Fan's steady and powerful heartbeat remaining.

After a while, seeing that there was nothing unusual, the sika deer relaxed its guard and lowered its head to continue drinking water.

Just then, Lu Fan made a decisive move. He released the bowstring, and the arrow, like a black lightning bolt, accompanied by a whistling sound, shot towards the sika deer with lightning speed.

The sika deer heard the arrow and tried to escape, but everything happened too fast.

The arrow pierced its chest from the side, and the sika deer struggled for a few moments before collapsing to the ground with a thud.

"pretty!"

Lu Fan shouted excitedly and leaped out from behind the tree.

Big Black ran over and circled the sika deer happily, making "woo-woo" sounds, as if cheering for the victory.

"Good heavens, this is a big one!" Lu Fan walked up to the sika deer, looked at the plump prey, and a satisfied smile appeared on his face.

He estimated that the sika deer weighed at least 100 kilograms, enough to feed them for a long time.

【Healthy Sika Deer*】

The live stream chat instantly erupted, with a torrent of comments flooding in:

"Lu Fan is awesome! His archery skills are absolutely amazing, hitting the bullseye every time!"

"This sika deer looks so plump, now its food reserves are more plentiful, and it will have no problem coping with extreme cold weather!"

"Wow, now that we have sika deer skin, sheep skin, bear skin, and leopard skin, our country's luxury goods industry is going to make a lot of money again."

"This is considered a luxury item? In our country, you can't see real luxury items. You're lucky if you can even hear about them."

It took Lu Fan a lot of effort to carry the sika deer on his shoulder.

The sika deer's body was heavy, but it was still within an acceptable range for the strong and healthy Lu Fan.

Along the way, he stopped and rested twice before finally carrying the sika deer back to the sanctuary.

"Anlan, look what I brought back!" As soon as Lu Fan entered the shelter, he couldn't contain his joy and shouted loudly.

An Lan was sorting through the meat she had stored when she heard Lu Fan's voice and quickly ran out.

"Wow, such a big sika deer! You're amazing, Lu Fan!" An Lan was so surprised when she saw the sika deer that she couldn't stop smiling, her eyes full of admiration.

"Luckily, we just happened to run into him." Lu Fan smiled as he put the sika deer on the ground and wiped the dense sweat from his forehead.

The two began to process the sika deer. Lu Fan skillfully picked up the knife and methodically skinned and deboned the deer, dividing the meat into pieces.

An Lan worked seamlessly alongside them, carefully stuffing the divided meat into the storage room so that it could be preserved for a longer period of time.

With their combined efforts, the sika deer was quickly dealt with.

A processed deer hide was hung neatly under the eaves of the bamboo house, fluttering gently in the breeze.

The meat was packed full in the storage room, kept fresh by the surrounding ice.

Looking at the ample food reserves, Lu Fan and An Lan felt a great sense of security.

"That's great. Even if the extreme cold weather lasts longer, we won't have to worry about food anymore." Lu Fan looked at the meat under the eaves with satisfaction and breathed a sigh of relief.

"Yes, with this food, plus the coal we've prepared and the fortified shelters, we'll definitely be able to get through this crisis safely."

An Lan responded with a smile, her eyes revealing determination and reassurance.

After dealing with the sika deer, Lu Fan did not slack off in the slightest.

He realized that the extreme cold weather might affect water sources and that he might even be trapped in the shelter and unable to leave, so he decided to store some water.

“These bamboo tubes can be used to store water, so even if the river freezes, we won’t have to worry about not having water to drink,” Lu Fan said to An Lan, holding up a bamboo tube.

Then, he took a bamboo tube to the spring and carried it back and forth, filling the shelter with plenty of water to ensure a sufficient water supply.

Lu Fan then checked his taro and chili peppers. They were growing vigorously, and as long as they could survive this, they would definitely have a bountiful harvest.

He took out the baskets he had previously used to protect them from the high temperatures and covered them with lots of leaves to prevent them from getting too cold.

After finishing these tasks, Lu Fan began checking their thermal clothing.

He took out the animal skin clothes and blankets he had made earlier and carefully checked them for any damage.

If there was any damage, he would thread a needle and carefully sew it up.

An Lan also helped out, and the two chatted while they worked, creating a warm and harmonious atmosphere.

Before long, the weather began to darken, and large patches of gray clouds gathered in the sky, seemingly within reach, making it feel very close to the ground.

The wind picked up and became biting, scraping against our faces like knives, as if everything was announcing the imminent arrival of extreme cold.

Lu Fan and An Lan had made all the preparations and sat quietly in the shelter waiting.

They knew they were about to face a severe test, but they were not afraid at all. Their eyes were filled with determination and composure because they believed that as long as they worked together, there was no difficulty that could not be overcome.
