Civilized Zerg Lord

Chapter 8 The Conquest Begins

Gu Hao did not rush into action, he quietly waited for time to pass.

It wasn't until the afternoon that he saw a member of the Yandi tribe coming out and making a few gestures to him.

Seeing this signal, Gu Hao knew that this was the person he had deliberately put back.

Gu Hao immediately stood up and led his warriors towards the Yandi tribe.

The soldiers following Gu Hao originally expected to encounter fierce resistance.

But when they rushed into the Yandi tribe, they found that most of the tribesmen had fainted and fell to the ground.

Obviously, they have been affected by the poison and are unable to effectively resist.

However, there are still 80 people who still have strength. Although they are pale, they still hold weapons and prepare for the final resistance.

But in front of Gu Hao's bone-armored centipedes and tribal warriors, their resistance was almost useless.

The bone armor centipede is powerful and ferocious. It opens its mouthparts and attacks the Yandi tribe warriors in front.

Each attack would bring down a Yandi tribe warrior. They struggled painfully in the venom of the bone armor centipede and then lost consciousness.

A battle that should have been brutal turned out to be extremely simple due to the poison.

Seeing their comrades fall one after another, the remaining warriors of the Yandi tribe began to panic. They put down their weapons and surrendered to Gu Hao.

Gu Hao looked at the scene in front of him without any fluctuation in his heart, only with expectations and plans for the future.

Gu Hao knew that this was just the beginning of his journey. He still had a longer way to go and more enemies to face.

Except for the clan leader who was directly killed, all the remaining 380 people of the Yandi tribe were brought back to the Guman tribe by Gu Hao.

Among them, more than 100 adult men have become redeemers, while the women are not regarded as slaves by Gu Hao.

This is mainly because most of these women are not members of the Yandi tribe.

Due to the need to avoid inbreeding in primitive times, tribes usually exchange women, which makes most women not have a strong sense of belonging to the tribe.

Therefore, Gu Hao only needs to control these adult men and educate young children well to stabilize the security of the tribe.

After merging with the Yandi tribe, the population of the Guman tribe has reached 850, making it the largest tribe in the surrounding area.

However, the increase in population also brings many problems.

The wooden house prepared by Gu Hao was far from enough to meet the tribe's needs, and the food problem became even more serious.

Now is the flood season, and there is plenty of food.But once winter enters, providing food for nearly a thousand people will be the biggest challenge Guhao faces.

He had to find a solution as soon as possible to ensure the survival and development of the tribe. Gu Hao let the tribe rest for two days.

Several surrounding tribes heard that the Yandi tribe was violently merged by him.

These tribes all migrated farther away under the leadership of reserve lords.

Under the moonlight, every light and shadow in the jungle looks mysterious and strange.

Under the leadership of the lord, the restless crowd began to migrate overnight.

They carry all their belongings, old, weak, women and children, without exception.

For a time, the atmosphere around the Guman tribe was filled with tension and panic. The crowds shuttled through the jungle, leaving deep footprints.

This phenomenon made Gu Hao dumbfounded. Although his territory expanded, it became more difficult to find other tribes.

However, Gu Hao's first priority right now is how to spend the coming winter.

Summer is coming to an end, and Gu Hao must prioritize the problem of food storage.

Now Gu Hao uses the smoking method to preserve food for the Gu barbarian tribe, but it is difficult to preserve food until winter with this method.

So Gu Hao thought of another ancient and practical method: pickling.This is a very effective way of preserving food, especially fish.

As long as there is enough salt, he can pickle the fish he catches.

However, finding large amounts of salt can be a huge challenge.

So, Gu Hao began to ask the tribesmen to collect various bugs when they went out, whether they were poisonous bugs or not, they had to find them back.

This is because insects are very sensitive to salt, and as long as you find the most sensitive insect, you can use it to find salt wells.

This is a task that requires patience and time, but Gu Hao knows that this is his best choice at the moment.

Even after deciding to find a source of salt to pickle food, Guhao did not give up on smoking fish.

Therefore, many tribe members and redeemers still need to go fishing.

After several surrounding tribes moved away, the Guman tribe now owns fifteen rivers.

The tribesmen walked along the river bank with fishing nets and fish baskets on their shoulders. Their skin was tanned by the sun, but their bodies became stronger and stronger.

They cast fishing nets in the river and wait quietly until the fish are caught in the net, then they will close the net and put the fish into the fish basket.

Whenever the sun sets, the tribesmen will bring the fruits of the day's work back to the tribe.

They helped each other take the fish out of the fish basket and began to smoke it over firewood.Thick smoke filled the air, carrying the aroma of fish being grilled.

This scene is full of hardship and hope. Everyone understands that they are working hard for the survival of the tribe.

Gu Hao, on the other hand, was busy selecting insects in the tribe.

He put an insect into a small maze to see if it could find salty food.

If it didn't work, he would switch to another one and try again.

The process was tedious and time-consuming, but he knew that only in this way would it be possible to find insects that could help them find the source of the salt.

Several witches in the tribe also participated in this work, including the tribe's leader.

They selected together, experimented together, and waited together.

Ten sunsets passed, and the wizards tried hundreds of insects, but failed to find satisfactory results.

Just when Gu Hao was about to give up, Xie's hoarse voice sounded in his ears:

"Gu, I seem to have found the insect you were looking for."

This voice was particularly eye-catching in the night. Gu Hao turned around, his eyes shining with expectation.

Gu Hao conducted several tests, and the insect, which bore some resemblance to a synapse beetle, found the salt accurately.

This result made Gu Hao overjoyed, so he named the beetle "salt insect".

Gu Hao immediately started cultivating this salt insect.

It happened that the bone armor centipede had completely gone through the transformation period and was already 1.5 meters in length, and no longer needed Gu Hao's blood sacrifice.

However, this common insect cannot be cultivated using the method of Gu.

Gu Hao could only mix a few drops of his own blood into the salt worms' food, and trained the salt worms every day to find salt in order to obtain food.

Time passed by minute by second, and thirty sunsets later, Gu Hao estimated that autumn had already entered.

At this time, the Guman tribe had grown to 900 people, including 400 adult men.

Under Gu Hao's guidance, the women in the tribe have learned to use hemp ropes woven from hay to make simple straw clothes, straw shoes, etc.

These newly learned skills not only improved the living standards of the tribe, but also enabled the tribesmen to better cope with the coming cold winter.
