Chapter 190 We Have Found Something

Turning the creature onto its back, Calista discovered the source of the blood. The deer had been injured, but the wound wasn’t deep. It was a crossbow injury.

In this area, many of the less fortunate crafted their own crossbows. The weapons were fairly effective mainly because the materials were easy to find. They were sufficient for hunting small animals.

“Rupert, what do your dad use for hunting?” Calista smiled at the boy.

Rupert quickly explained in detail. “Dad uses a crossbow he made himself. Most of the men here use the same. They also set traps. But Dad said, to avoid disputes, he purposely made his arrowheads cross- shaped, not triangular.”

“Such a good boy.” Calista murmured, looking down at the cross–shaped wound on the deer. How lucky that I stumbled upon this evidence just when I needed it. This deer is proof that the boy’s father has been here. And since they’re just ordinary people, to have been able to hit such a nimble deer, it must have been distracted. Perhaps it was cating or drinking….

Following the shot, the boy’s father realized that his crossbow had done little damage to the deer. It could also have been due to his exhaustion at the time, leaving him with insufficient strength and resulting in a shallow wound.

If he was tired, it must have been late in the day. He would likely have chosen to descend the mountain, given that his wife and child were waiting for him. However, on his way back, he might have fallen into some kind of trap or stumbled upon something….

In this region, there are no large beasts, yet he has been missing for three days. As a seasoned hunter, he should be well- acquainted with things like traps. The only plausible explanation is that he stumbled upon a mysterious location and, unluckily, got trapped there, or perhaps even died there.

After carefully analyzing the situation and feeling confident that nothing had been overlooked, Calista asked, “Rupert, is there any water source nearby?”

Rupert pondered for a moment. “Yes, there is a small lake.”
