Chapter 2396: Mission 76

Among the most crucial items within the 500 meters were animal skins, primarily used for crafting tents to shield against rain and snow. Following that were provisions, including wild vegetables and precious wild beast meat.

Given the meat’s susceptibility to spoilage, they wisely preserved it by drying most of it, ensuring long-term storage for the harsh winter ahead. These dried meat supplies were a vital resource to sustain them during the cold months.

Adams had thought ahead and asked his clansmen to prepare a modest amount of dried meat, just enough to support the Five Elements Clan, reflecting his foresight.

This was particularly important because the Tribe Chief of the Five Elements Clan lacked strategic thinking and readily agreed to share their resources.

To Adams and the Thunder Fire Clan, this small gesture was a generous and respectful act, considering their circumstances.

With night approaching, Adams decided to delay his journey, choosing to set out for the Five Elements Clan at dawn the following day.

The members of the Thunder Fire Clan were elated, knowing that they would soon receive fresh supplies.

As the first light of dawn broke, they began their day’s activities. The women attended to various clan duties, while the men gathered their tools and set out for their daily task: hunting.

Adams, accompanied by a few clansmen, departed from their clan towards the Five Elements Clan, carrying some dry food with them for the journey. The round trip would consume a full day, but with adequate provisions, they would not go hungry along the way.

Without any means of transportation, they had no choice but to rely on their legs for travel. Fortunately, the journey was relatively safe, and walking was a common mode of transportation for them.

After over two hours of walking, they finally reached the Five Elements Clan.

From a distance, Adams observed the Five Elements Clan’s humble and tattered appearance. It had only three tents for the entire clan, with the Tribe Chief as the sole occupant. These meager accommodations were far from sufficient for the injured or elderly members of the clan.

Eating meat was a luxury they had rarely experienced. Their diet mainly consisted of wild vegetables.

However, something had changed. The Five Elements Clan now seemed to have constructed more substantial shelters that appeared superior to the old tents. Adams could see young men from the Five Elements Clan carrying weapons and displaying a newfound vitality, some even bearing the spoils of hunting.

Adams was both relieved and delighted, wearing a broad smile on his dark countenance. It seemed that their visit today was timely, as they could help forge a brighter future for the Five Elements Clan.

Meanwhile, the demeanor of the Five Elements Clan’s men visibly shifted upon spotting Adams and his companions. It was evident that they did not welcome these uninvited guests.

The visitors from the Thunder Fire Tribe had come the previous day, but today their Tribe Chief had come personally. The Five Elements Clan’s residents were unsure of the Tribe Chief’s intentions and were determined to safeguard their newfound prosperity.

The Five Elements Clan members were on high alert, while those from the Thunder Fire Tribe appeared more at ease. Adams declared, “I’m here personally to discuss matters with your Tribe Chief, and I, Adams, have important business to discuss with him.”

Gary, noticing the situation, gestured for the Thunder Fire Tribe members to remain where they were while he went to inform their Tribe Chief. His expression was a mix of emotions, reflecting the complexities of the situation.
