The immense inertia caused his body to tilt sharply to the right.

In the instant he lost his balance, Su Wei instinctively tried to shift his center of gravity and reached out to grab a branch beside him.

However, heavy winter clothing restricts the flexibility of the body.

My fingertips brushed against the rough bark of the tree.

They missed.

"Oh no."

Su Wei only had time to protect his head and face.

The sky and treetops spun rapidly in my field of vision.

He was like a sandbag that had gone out of control, crashing heavily onto the bottomless steep slope beside him.

His body was lifted into the air.

All that remained in sight were the rapidly spinning treetops and the gray-white sky.

come down.

Chapter 52 Misfortune and fortune are intertwined, antlers in a snowdrift

Bang.

The world turned upside down.

A strong feeling of weightlessness came over me, and then everything went black.

The expected sound of bones breaking did not occur; instead, there was only a muffled thud.

A meter-thick layer of snow cushioned the force of the fall, trapping Su Wei firmly in the gap between the two giant rocks.

Snow powder poured in wildly through the collar and cuffs.

The body heat instantly melted the snow clinging to his skin, and icy water flowed down his back, causing his muscles to twitch instinctively.

Su Wei didn't move.

He remained in the darkness for three seconds.

I feel that my internal organs are not injured, and I can still feel my limbs.

He's still alive.

In this wilderness, this is good luck.

"Call..."

The warm breath exhaled from his mouth and nose created a cloud of white mist in the narrow snowdrift.

They're in a very sorry state right now.

He was upside down, like a nail, stuck at the bottom of a funnel formed by rocks.

The enormous aluminum alloy snowshoes had become instruments of torture, stuck firmly to the rock wall. Every attempt to pull their legs out only caused their upper bodies to sink deeper.

Don't move it.

The more it struggles, the more compacted the loose snow around it becomes, eventually turning it into a living coffin.

Su Wei calmly reached out and touched his chest.

The Browning rifle was still there, the sling digging painfully into his shoulder. Although the muzzle was blocked by snow, the core bolt was protected by his body.

By saving this old gun, a large sum of money in repair costs has been saved.

Su Wei adjusted his breathing and braced his elbow against the rock wall on the left.

The muscles in his back were tense, pressing against the rough stone wall on the right.

Engage your core muscles.

one time.

My body loosened up a bit in the snow.

Two times.

The feeling of stuffiness lessened.

With a burst of energy, Su Wei used the force of the rock wall to pull himself out of the snow pit.

Splash!

A large mass of snow collapsed.

Su Wei rolled over and knelt on the slightly smoother snow, panting heavily.

I took off my gloves and poured out the ice crystals mixed with sweat and snow water.

We must act immediately.

If you stay here for five minutes, you will lose body temperature.

Su Wei propped himself up, preparing to stand up.

The movement suddenly froze in mid-air.

The sensation under my right palm is wrong.

Something is buried there.

It doesn't feel as rough as rock, nor as hard as frozen soil.

Even through thick gloves, you could feel that it was hard and slippery, with a slight curve.

It looks like the bones of some animal.

Su Wei's eyes narrowed.

I had some guesses in my mind.

He drew a folding entrenching tool from his waist and cut the blade into the compacted snow.

With one shovelful, the grayish-white snow was turned over.

With another shovel, a thick, robust, dark brown object was revealed.

Its surface is covered with patterns like old tree bark, yet it has a glossy sheen.

This pattern...

Su Wei threw away the shovel, reached his hand into the snow, grabbed the main stem of the thing, and pulled it up forcefully.

Sink.

My wrist suddenly dropped.

This amount weighs at least fifteen pounds.

Once the snow on top had all slid off, a wildly shaped object was revealed.

Su Wei's pupils suddenly contracted.

This is a complete Roosevelt antler.

The main beam is very thick and is dark brown.

This is how male deer, to show off, rub their antlers against pine trees every day, allowing resin and soil to seep into their bones and form a patina.

It has six branches, each tip of which is polished to a high shine.

Especially the base of the pearl-like bone spurs, which was thicker than Su Wei's wrist.

[Ding! Life Module Experience +50]

[Triggered a critical harvest! Obtained: Top-quality Roosevelt Deer Antler]

(Note: Loot is divided into six levels: Common, Fine, High-Quality, Excellent, Perfect, and Legendary)

[Quality: Top Grade (Perfect patina, rare size)]

[Estimated value: $3,000-$4,500]

The module's assessment warmed Su Wei's heart and made his heart beat faster.

More than three thousand US dollars.

I just tripped and fell, and I found so much.

Su Wei stroked the cool antlers.

This is not just an ornament, but also a form of hard currency.

Whether sold to tourists who only have a fleeting interest or to collectors with unusual tastes, this item will always find a market.

If we can find another one...

Usually, chipped corners fall off in pairs.

The other one is most likely within a 50-meter radius.

Su Wei subconsciously looked up and glanced around.

The wind has changed.
