With their plans in place, the Thunder Fire Clan members felt a renewed sense of confidence.
As darkness settled in, they enjoyed some wild fruits before drifting into slumber. The welfare of their clan always remained at the forefront of their minds, even though they refrained from indulging in the winter delicacies typically reserved for their clan.
The following morning, they awoke, gathered more wild fruits to eat, and set off for the Five Elements Clan with an air of determination.
The Five Elements Clan had fewer tasks to manage at this point. Clansmen were engaged in chores, patrolling, and hunting, and even the smelting furnace was in operation.
Gu Chaoyan pondered how to best prepare for the upcoming winter in the Five Elements Clan. Nowadays, the clansmen relied on animal fur and hide to shield themselves from the cold. These resources were dwindling, and there would likely be a shortage during the winter months.
