Civilized Zerg Lord

Chapter 14 Hunting Time
Gu Hao was extremely satisfied with the ability of the Barrier-Breaking Bee.

Gu Hao thought that the bone armor centipede could now be given to other witches for use.

In Gu Hao's view, Xie is undoubtedly the most suitable candidate. After all, the bone armor centipede was originally a Gu species cultivated by Xie.

So, the old man took the bone armor centipede to protect the No. [-] salt well.

Gu Hao has already begun trading coarse salt with other tribes.

The location of this salt well has been known to many tribes. Gu Hao can only feel at ease if the bone armored centipede is there.

Although the exposure of salt wells brought some disadvantages, the trade in coarse salt brought more benefits to the Gu barbarian tribe.

The people of the tribe visited various tribes with coarse salt and exchanged it for animal skins, various plant seeds and other items.

The people of the Guman tribe were enthusiastic in their transactions and displayed the coarse salt of the Guman tribe without hesitation, which attracted praise from people from other tribes.

Carrying coarse salt, they walked through mountains, rivers, and forests to other tribes.

They were at the trading ground, talking animatedly and bargaining with people from other tribes.

The tribesmen in charge of the trade brought back the animal skins. These animal skins will make the people of the Gu barbarian tribe live more comfortably in the winter, and will also allow more people to have the ability to go out in the winter.

They also brought back seeds of various plants, most of which were collected after the reserve lords appeared.

These seeds include vegetable, spice, and cotton and linen. These are all necessary to start the city-state era.

By next spring, Gu Hao plans to let the elders in the tribe learn farming knowledge.

Gu Hao didn't ask for how much food he could produce, he just wanted to accumulate experience for the tribe.

When large-scale farming is launched in the future, the people of the tribe will not have no experience at all.

The trade in coarse salt not only brought physical benefits, but also allowed the Gu tribe to obtain some secrets of other tribes, such as bows and arrows, slings, and more advanced pottery-making techniques.

This is knowledge that the reserve lords brought to this plane, though they taught it to their own tribes.

However, some tribes have not yet been fully controlled by the reserve lords. After seeing the coarse salt of the Gu barbarian tribe, the primitive tribe leaders immediately handed over the secrets of their tribes.

This gave the Gu barbarian tribe a means of long-range attack, but this was only secondary, because Gu Hao also discovered that as winter approached, fights between tribes became more and more frequent.

The reason is simple. There is not enough food for the winter. Not all tribes have rich fish and salt wells like the Gu barbarian tribe.

Winter is coming, and some tribes have already begun to take desperate measures. As long as they have enough food to survive the winter, these reserve lords can have more advantages in the coming spring.

The struggles of these small tribes have also brought about an increase in the population of the Guman tribe. The tribe that originally had a population of 900 has stagnated for a long time, but now due to the struggles of various tribes, the population has reached close to a thousand.

How long has passed, Gu Hao has already completed one-fifth of the minimum requirement of 5000 people to build a city.

Gu Hao's goal is far more than that, 5000 people? 5 people?Gu Hao has set an upper limit for himself, and he wants to see where his limit is.

When there are less than thirty sunsets left until winter.

Gu Hao originally thought he could spend this winter leisurely.

However, Thorn brought unexpected news - they found a small copper mine.

This news is like a pebble thrown into a calm lake, causing ripples to ripple round and round.

Copper mine, this is undoubtedly a huge surprise for the Gu barbarian tribe.

Copper is one of the earliest metals discovered and used by humans.

Its emergence means that the Gu barbarian tribe will likely enter the Bronze Age, thereby greatly improving the tribe's productivity and combat effectiveness.

However, the location of the copper ore that Thorn discovered was not ideal.

This copper mine is a full forty kilometers away from the Guman tribe.

What is even more troublesome is that this copper mine is located in the territory of a tribe called Yali. The copper mine has not been discovered by them, and this tribe has a small number of people, only about 500 people.

Gu Hao's problem was not whether he could defeat the other tribe.

Even if it is an expedition, Gu Hao is [-]% sure of winning the Yali tribe.

What really bothered Gu Hao was that he couldn't seize the copper mine quietly.

Once Gu Hao attacks the Yali tribe, it will definitely attract the attention of other tribes, thus exposing the news that the Guman tribe has discovered copper mines.

And if Gu Hao mines it directly, he will definitely be discovered by the Yali tribe. This seems to be a dilemma.

However, copper must be mined.

Gu Hao does not think that he is a lucky person, but he believes that there must be such people in the world.

There may be some reserve lords who are on top of the large iron mines. They don't have to do anything. They only need to smelt iron to make tools, and then smelt iron to make weapons.

As the saying goes, if my neighbor collects grain and I collect guns, my neighbor is my granary. Then they can start the conquest mode and win the game.

Gu Hao's idea was not wrong, because at this time, a handsome boy in the northern territory sneezed.

This is why Gu Hao must win the copper mine, because you never know if someone has already run ahead of you.

Weakness is not the biggest obstacle to survival, arrogance is.

Gu Hao looked at the Barrier-Breaking Bee beside him, and an idea suddenly flashed in his mind.

Gu Hao decided to personally bring the Barrier-Breaking Bee to the vicinity of the Yali tribe.

Gu Hao's plan is very simple, which is to let the people of the Yali tribe leave voluntarily, so that the Guman tribe can mine copper mines quietly.

This plan relies on the Barrier-Breaking Bee, which has not yet been exposed to other tribes.Gu Hao planned to let it attack the people of the Yali tribe, making them think that something strange had happened here, so that they would choose to move away.

Gu Hao waved his hand gently, and the Barrier-Breaking Bee flew into the air. It patrolled around the Yali tribe, looking for its target.

The Barrier-Breaking Bee was incredibly fast, and its figure flickered in and out of sight like a ghost in the night.

Its wings sliced ​​through the air, making a sharp, piercing sound that created a nameless fear in people's hearts.

Whenever it finds a target, it strikes like lightning and then quickly disappears into the darkness.

The people of the Yali tribe could not react at all. They could only watch their tribe members die unexpectedly one by one, but they could not find the murderer.

People in the Yali tribe began to panic.They gathered together and whispered about these strange events.

"How is this going?"

"Is there some evil spirit at work?"

"Have we offended any gods?" "What should we do?"

These questions were passed around the tribe, but no one could give an answer.

Their panic spread like wildfire.

Some people have even become extremely frightened and are ready to leave this weird place.

They are afraid, they don’t know who the next victim will be, and no one wants to be the next person to have their life taken away by mysterious forces.

Gu Hao's first step plan has been successful, and his next target is the reserve lord of the Yali tribe.

This task did not cost Gu Hao much thought, because the reserve lord walked out on his own and was exposed to the attack area of ​​the Barrier-Breaking Bee.

He seemed to think that some kind of wild beast had attacked his people, and decided to lead a team to find the beast himself.

However, it was not wild beasts that attacked their tribe, but Barrier-Breaking Bees.

The Reserve Lord did not react until he died, and his head was suddenly torn apart by the mouthparts of the Barrier Breaker Bee.

Blood and brains splattered everywhere, and a pair of eyes widened, full of horror and confusion.

His body fell to the ground, and his blood flowed on the ground, staining the land red.

The whole scene is extremely scary and bloody, making people shudder.

Gu Hao began to prepare the next plan. He brought hundreds of worker ants produced by the queen ant.

Gu Hao manipulated these worker ants into the Yali tribe, and then formed a symbol around their leader that represented death in primitive times.

Under his command, these worker ants were arranged in an orderly manner into a complex pattern. This pattern looked particularly eerie and terrifying under the moonlight.

Each worker ant is like a black bead, and they are arranged closely together to form a frightening symbol.

The people of the Yali tribe finally couldn't stand this weird place.

After discussing with the clan members, the clan leader decided to move away.

The Yali tribe began to pack food and animal skins, and the whole tribe was busy.

Their faces were full of fear and anxiety, their hands were shaking, and their eyes were full of panic.

They took their families, utensils, food, and weapons with them and left the place where they had lived for generations.

The figures of the Yali tribe gradually disappeared in the night, leaving only silence and an empty tribe.

Gu Hao's plan was successful. The people from the Yali tribe had left the vicinity of the copper mine, and Gu Hao led the people from the Guman tribe to the location of the copper mine.

According to Ci, the copper mine is less than half a meter underground.

Sure enough, when Gu Hao dug out the surface gravel soil, the color and texture of the copper ore immediately came into view.

Gu Hao began to command the people of the Guman tribe to mine copper mines.

They held stone picks, waved their rough arms, and struck the hard ore with hammers.

Their bodies were covered with mud and sweat, and although their faces were full of exhaustion, their eyes shone with excitement and anticipation.

Whenever new copper ore was dug out, they would cheer and continue their hard work.

The Barrier-Breaking Bee was always hovering in the air, its eyes sharp, always alert to everything around it.

Any creature that comes close will be mercilessly killed by it.

The transportation route chosen by Gu Hao was also very hidden. He would rather take a detour than let other tribes discover their secrets early.

The tribesmen of the Guman tribe loaded the copper ore on canoes and then quietly transported it back to the tribe along the winding river.

Time flies by like a white horse, and winter comes quietly in the blink of an eye.

The earth was covered with thick snow, everything was blocked by frost, and the whole world seemed to be covered with a layer of silver-white gauze.

The warehouses of the Guman tribe are already filled with piles of copper ore.

These copper ores are like hills, piled in the corners of the warehouse.

They are dark in color, hard in texture, and exude a unique smell.
