“Absolutely, Tribe Chief!”
Doubt was a stranger to them.
Their enthusiasm knew no bounds.
No matter what recent actions the Tribe Chief had taken, it was all for the betterment of the clan. Moreover, the Tribe Chief was constantly innovating. If they could lend a hand, it would bring them immense joy.
How could they not be thrilled?

As the next day broke, they gathered and embarked on their journey.
The entire clan observed their departure in antic.i.p.ation.
With the exception of Gu Chaoyan, everyone exuded a strong sense of determination.
Aina yearned to join, but Gu Chaoyan promised to take her along next time, so she stayed behind within the clan.
It was Gu Chaoyan who charted their course.
She aimed for a place dense with trees, increasing their chances of discovery. After all, barren landscapes offered little in the way of findings.
For the Five Elements Clan, surviving on wild vegetables alone was insufficient. To satisfy their hunger, farming was essential.
She hoped to stumble upon something worth planting along the way.
After half a day’s walk, exhaustion and hunger set in, prompting Gu Chaoyan to order a break.
Despite their unwavering spirit, the lack of any discoveries left these valiant individuals feeling disheartened.
Gu Chaoyan remained remarkably composed.
This endeavor was inherently challenging.
It demanded patience and resilience.
But the potential rewards were significant.
After a brief rest, Gu Chaoyan led the group onwards.
From noon until sunset, their efforts yielded no results. They found nothing of value during their journey.
As daylight persisted, they located a suitable resting spot, and a few clan members couldn’t help but feel a sense of unease.
Their initial excitement had stemmed from the expectation of a fruitful outing, only to discover they had ventured in vain. Anxiety naturally crept in.
Previously, whether it was constructing bamboo houses or crafting bows and arrows, progress had been swift.
The current difficulty in bringing them out left them disheartened.
Gu Chaoyan took a moment to survey the surroundings before the sky darkened completely, planning their route for the next day.
In the realm of the Five Elements Clan, they resided in a relatively desolate region.
Even if she opted for a path through densely wooded areas, the difference was minimal.
They were constrained by the path they had chosen.
Regrettably, they had no map to guide them; such a tool would have simplified matters.
After a while, Gu Chaoyan returned, noting the lingering dejection among the few clan members.
Gary appeared somewhat anxious, evidently eager to say something but unsure how to console them.
Gu Chaoyan reflected for a moment and offered words of rea.s.surance, saying, “Don’t lose heart. My initial plan for this expedition didn’t include guaranteed success. I intended to explore and learn more.”
“If everything were readily accessible, why would life be such a struggle for every clan?”
“The bamboo houses and weaponry you behold aren’t the result of a single night’s effort. I’ve contemplated and attempted them tirelessly, facing countless failures. This is what’s shaped me today.”
“It’s the truly challenging endeavors that yield the most valuable rewards.”
“The Thunder Fire Clan, in the past, also ama.s.sed its treasures through hard-fought battles.”
