Chapter 2 The Name of the Gu Clan
Wu and Gu Hao both belonged to the same tribe, and they originally planned to go to surrounding tribes to exchange salt.

However, the sudden changes in the world caused them to change their purpose and choose to return to their tribe early.

In Gu Hao's memory, Wu has always been his best hunting partner.

No matter when and where, Wu will always protect Gu Hao.

Under this situation, Gu Hao couldn't help but start to wonder, was this a deliberate arrangement by the system?
When Gu Hao woke up, he found that everyone was speeding back to the tribe.

At the same time, he also began to organize the memories in his mind.

The tribe he belongs to is called Gu Man. This tribe is not a primitive tribe in the general sense, but more like Miao Jiang, which has a heritage of cultivating Gu insects.

Gu Hao's memory contains some such inheritance, but the content is fragmented. The truly complete inheritance is in the hands of the tribe's sacrificial elders.

Gu Hao's team is only responsible for hunting and trading. The entire tribe has a total of 200 people, including 110 women and children and 90 men.

Compared to the surrounding tribes, the Gu barbarian tribe is not powerful.

But because of the strange Gu insects they had tamed, the surrounding tribes were afraid of them and did not dare to provoke them easily.

Gu Hao and everyone returned to the tribe and saw the tribe leader - an old man with a pale face and gray hair.

His eyes were deep-set, with sharp pupils;
The skin is as rough as dead tree bark, but it also reveals the vicissitudes and tenacity of the years.

The elder is the clan leader, which should be very rare in primitive tribes.

The old man's name is Xie, and he is the elder with the strongest Gu refining ability in the tribe, so he also serves as the tribe leader.

When Xie saw Gu Hao and others coming back, he took the salt from Wu's hand, frowned and said:

"Why did we only get half of the expected salt? This salt is probably only enough for the tribe to use for less than thirty sunsets."

Wu Xiang explained to the patriarch: "Captain, there was a change in the sky a few days ago. The tribes did not dare to trade salt and other important resources. We were also worried that the tribe would be in danger due to the change, so we returned early."

Xie understood this, and after putting all the things obtained in this exchange into a specially stored cave, he let Gu Hao and others go back to rest.

However, Gu Hao did not go to rest immediately, he chose to observe in the tribe.

There is always a slight difference between the scene in memory and what you actually see.

Gu Hao's tribe is located in a small valley, with six caves inside for rest and storage of supplies.

In the open space in front of the cave, there are several simple huts made of wood. They are scattered in an orderly manner, forming a small tribe.

Each hut was cleanly cleaned and surrounded by various plants.

Various utensils are placed in these small houses, some are fired from clay, and some are woven from wooden strips.

However, what is inside is not the items needed for daily life, but the most deadly poisonous insects in the Gu barbarian tribe!

Gu Hao walked in various houses and saw all kinds of Gu insects:

Some look like scorpions, with their bodies covered with sharp thorns;
There are those that look like lizards, with gleaming scales;
There are also ones that look like snakes but have feathery tentacles...each one is shocking and amazing.

For Gu Hao, there was no fear in his heart, but instead he was extremely excited.

As a scholar majoring in biology, he has been extremely curious about insects since he was a child, and has often researched the legend of Miao Gu insects.

But unfortunately, Gu Hao never had the opportunity to witness the real Gu refining process.

At this time, Yan came out of the cave and saw Gu Hao who was observing the Gu insects intently.

Gu Hao was completely immersed in his own world and didn't even notice Xie's existence.He looked at each Gu insect carefully, making sounds of joy from time to time, as if he was exploring a new world.

Seeing how focused Gu Hao was, Xie was quite surprised.

Although Gu is the inheritance of their tribe, most people do not really love Gu, and more of them stay away from it.

Because the process of refining Gu is very dangerous, and you can die if you are not careful. If you really want to learn Gu, you not only need to have a strong interest and talent... but also a spirit that is not afraid of death!
Looking at Gu Hao's focused eyes and his desperate actions of turning over the Gu worms.

Xan suddenly felt that maybe this young man was the candidate he had been waiting for for a long time.

As for why Gu Hao showed such a fearless spirit now, he naturally ignored it. He finally had a bold tribesman, so he didn't bother to think too much.

So, Xie coughed twice, trying to attract Gu Hao's attention.

However, it seemed that the other party was still immersed in his own world, which made him extremely embarrassed for a while.

Xie had no choice but to reach out and pat Gu Hao's shoulder and said, "Gu, seeing that you are so curious about Gu insects, do you want to learn Gu Hao?"

Gu Hao turned around and realized that the clan leader was behind him. Before he could speak, he was confused by Xie's straightforward question.

But what followed was not confusion, but excitement.

After all, I was just thinking about how to propose to the clan leader that I wanted to learn Gu. Now I had the opportunity, so I quickly replied:
"Yes, Patriarch, I have always wanted to learn the art of Gu, but I was afraid of disturbing you in refining Gu, so I never dared to mention it."

Xie's eyes lit up and he stopped talking nonsense. Taking advantage of Gu Hao's enthusiasm, he began to introduce to him the method of refining the Gu technique.

The two were chatting with gusto there, and the old tribal woman walking by saw Gu Hao learning the art of Gu.

One of the old women shook her head and said: "Why is this child Gu suddenly unable to think about it and actually wants to learn voodoo?"

Another old man said with emotion:

"Maybe the kid Gu knew that several little witch priests in the tribe died in accidents while refining the Gu.

He is so brave because he is afraid that there will be no successors in our tribe. He is such a good boy. He deserves to drink my milk and did not feed him in vain. "

Gu Hao didn't hear the mutterings of several old people behind him, and even if he knew, he wouldn't change his determination.

After all, he had already died once, a painful death caused by being burned by thousands of insects. Faced with life and death again, he had no fear.

Gu Hao was only afraid of not dying on the path of exploring the truth.

As a scholar who even commits suicide with professional knowledge, his thirst for knowledge (desire to commit suicide) should never be underestimated.

After Xian explained some basic voodoo knowledge to Gu Hao, he found a pile of nearly discarded voodoo seeds from the voodoo dish and gave it to him.

Xie thought to herself: "These Gu species are going bad anyway, so why not open Gu's eyes now?"

"This way Gu can see the shocking scene of hundreds of insects fighting with his own eyes, and can also test whether the quality of his blood is suitable for refining Gu."

The so-called blood quality does not refer to the composition of the blood itself, but to the degree of compatibility between the individual and the voodoo when establishing contact with the voodoo through the blood.

Everyone's blood quality is different, and even each type of Gu has slightly different requirements for blood quality.

Good blood quality can greatly improve the success rate of refining Gu and the effect of controlling Gu insects.

Obviously, Xie hopes to test whether Gu Hao has the potential to become an excellent witch in this way.
