He held a few wild fruits in his hand. “Tribe Chief, eat this. It is good when eaten like this.”

During this challenging period, our clan has faced hards.h.i.+p. We are unable to hunt and have resorted to consuming wild vegetables to quell our hunger. We understand that wild vegetables may not be your preferred choice, but our current circ.u.mstances leave us with few alternatives. Let’s begin by making use of the wild fruits available. Once conditions improve, I’ll resume hunting,” Gary a.s.sured.

Due to their differing roles and responsibilities, the Tribe Chief had rarely experienced such hards.h.i.+ps. It was customary for the Tribe Chief to receive priority access to the clan’s best resources, which was understandable.

Initially, Gary had reservations about continuing to cater to her needs, but given the Tribe Chief’s earnest commitment to the clan, he felt a responsibility to ensure she had access to quality food.

Gu Chaoyan felt somewhat embarra.s.sed.

Her reluctance to consume these wild foods stemmed not only from unfamiliarity but also from the fact that her cultivation level rendered food unnecessary. However, if survival required her to eat, she would gladly partake of these wild vegetables.

Gary had misunderstood her situation, and while she didn’t mind, she didn’t want to burden him further.

After some contemplation, Gu Chaoyan accepted the fruit from Gary’s hand and spoke earnestly, “At this moment, the 500 meters are our top priority. Food is of secondary concern. Please don’t waste your time on this. I was simply not hungry earlier.”

“As for hunting, we can discuss it later. Perhaps we can explore improved hunting tools?”

“After the events that transpired recently, I’ve had some realizations. With our current clan’s strength, relying on our intellect is paramount.”

“Alright, Gary, please tend to your own duties,” Gu Chaoyan concluded.

Gary didn’t seem eager to leave.

He examined the bow that Gu Chaoyan had crafted and then turned his gaze back to her. Scratching his head in embarra.s.sment, he asked, “Tribe Chief, may I study it a bit longer?”

Gu Chaoyan nodded.

She had no reason to stop him; he appeared genuinely interested.

Meanwhile, Gu Chaoyan pondered the best ways to safeguard the Five Elements people.

In this primitive world, land division was virtually non-existent. It resembled the nomadic lifestyle of gra.s.sland dwellers, where migration was frequent. The dominant races claimed advantageous territories, while the weaker ones had to settle for less hospitable areas.

Here, a bamboo house stood, and for the moment, things were relatively quiet. However, if pa.s.sing migrants took an interest in it, disaster could strike.

Precautions were necessary.

In that case, the need for a strategically placed trap became apparent.

But what type of trap should they employ?

The trap had to harmonize with the local terrain. Fortunately, abundant bamboo forests in the vicinity provided valuable resources.

Moreover, it was high time for order and organization within the clan. Each member needed a defined role and responsibilities.

After a night of contemplation, Gu Chaoyan formulated a preliminary plan.

The following day marked the commencement of bamboo house construction.

Gary, Oliver, and Warren had eagerly awaited this moment, yearning for a substantial undertaking.

The rest of the clan members remained engaged in their usual tasks, seemingly oblivious to the bamboo house’s construction.

Gu Chaoyan did not take offense.

She began providing the three of them with comprehensive instructions on the project’s specifics.
