Aron's team found the first mammoths after an hour of traveling. All the regular hunters looked excited to face such a site again. The newer to the group were scared.

Aron used his inspect skill and looked at all the mammoths, nothing we can't take.

[Herd: 12x mammoths

Level: herd 3

Race: mammoth

State of mind: happily eating

Health: 1200

Mana: 120

Strength: 20

Agility: 2

Stamina: 10]

Aron already with a plan at the ready did give everyone their jobs. Beast tamers were to capture the lowest level mammoths as soon as possible. Jack would tount all mammoths on him, his maximum was 8 so they would probably lose 2 of the 10 mammoths.

The healers were to focus heals on Jack. The damage dealers were to focus on Aron's target getting as many mammoths down as soon as possible. If Aron needed to heal everyone should focus on the target of Erik.

Sadly the new hunters that just joined the settlement couldn't do much. They didn't have bows or spears to help killing the mammoths. The only thing the could do was watch.

And what they saw was an amazing team work between all the members. Sadly for them they didn't get the extra quest of participants in the hunt with damage, heal or capture.

Jack's system

[Sub quest, participate in the mammoth hunt, only counts if you do damage, heal, support. Target kill or capture all mammoths. Reward 15 level 1 heart crystals]

Jack focused his [taunt] on the higher level mammoths leveling his skill up towards level 2 with now 10 targets available he used his skill again giving him lower mana but all mammoths were now staying within their radius.

As soon as the beast tamers got new mammoths the started looking for the smaller mammoths those should be the lowest level. To their superior level they captured a total of 4 mammoths really fast. They went now for 2 others.

Aron meanwhile was hitting the 4 level 10's first. Sadly it was not possible for him to keep hitting after the second level 10 went down Aron needed to use his [small heal] on Jack who was getting low on health. Aron did get a nice surprise with doing this.

[small heal, + 1 level now heals 100 health of a single person. Can be used out of your team]

Of course he did use the skill 2 more times and using for the first time his [charge] before going back into damage mode.

Kim was panicking when she saw all the wounds on Jack and kept chanting heals. She was happy that Aron did help, after that her [heal spirt] did level up just after Aron's help giving her now heals of 150 per 4 seconds.

After this the battle progressed smoothly most of the members got a level up on 1 or two kills. The best upgrade was Kim's [heal team] with now giving 40 health per 2 seconds instead of 5.

Total loot from the hunt without any quest completed was 4 mammoths captured and 8 killed giving them 42 level 1 heart crystals an absolute ridiculous amount.

Aron and Kim storing the mammoths in their spatial bags after cleaning them of intestines. This was done by the new hunters so the rest could rest.

In the settlement it was another story, making tents of the mammoths hides was easier than they thought completing the quest in 2 hours after starting.

The building team had it harder, it was now noticeable that the woodworkers were faster than the builders could build. Lucky for them the elder cave people helped after getting some explanations of the wall construction.

The kids now pulling and pushing the carts full with wood towards both farmhouse and wall construction did help speed up the work considerably.

Mona, Jim and the old lady went looking around the settlement and came together.

Mona: I think we need to prepare a feest of a meal. Not Sure how long they can keep going like this without proper food and rest.

Old lady: I will help with the food, seems that my old bones are only good for that.

Jim: As Mona said it's important to have good food and rest properly. I will gather some forest fruits with one of the hunters, guard and a healer. Don't think we will encounter anything but you never know.

Jessica was happy with the progress so far. If they had an increase in population they would struggle with time though. One thing they needed was extra people with systems a few extra captains.

The only problem was how to prepare the new kids for a system, they never saw a game or a movie.

Probably her mom could help with this, so she went towards the fire pit, Mona did go there a lot.

When Jessica did tell her mom that she wanted to prepare the kids only didn't know how to do this. Turned a smile on Mona's face, her daughter was now thinking ahead instead of on the spot.

Mona: I'm going to help you a bit but you will need to do everything yourself or expedite it but not to me or your father. How can you enlarge a image or text with light and something else??

Jessica now thinking about this new some basics but wasn't advanced as Aron. She wax happy with just her plan to prepare the kids instead of implementing something that might scare them.

4 hours later Aron's hunting team came into the settlement with 4 new mammoths that were to help in the future. Aron and Kim headed straight for the fire pit with all the meat they got. The hides would go towards the tailors and the bones still needed a destination.

Chloe made Aron realise that trowing away parts of animals was wasteful, somethings were unavoidable but most parts were useful.

With everyone done, even the building team they all handed in the quests.

All the team members were happy. Jack, Kiara and Daisy now level 14, Kim, Ivy, James and Erik now level 13 and close to level 14. Aron and Jessica didn't interact much with the beast tamers the other healer and mage still the did get good levels from this quest.

Chloe now level 9 didn't notice it at first but after the old lady said to her she had grown more powerful she did try to find out how.

Aron's tip was now for his team to an extra skill, due to the 25 extra heart crystals from the quests this should be easy. Chloe did get 25 crystals as well apparently on the last two mammoths she was helping with her stone butchering knife.

Jessica now level 14 and getting 50 crystals from Aron could buy the two skills she wanted [mana sword] and [slash]

Aron now level 20 did get a good notification when leveling up.

[New skill, , you can assign someone to be your co-captain, you can use the skills of the person you assign and the other way around. You both get 2000 healt and 1000 mana. With co-captain in your team you can have 60 team members. This is a one time use skill]

The question now was who would be a good co-captain?
