Chapter 2: Pre-Hunt Sacrifices
"The deceased is gone, and the living should strive for self-improvement. ”
Gu Chu comforted himself, stabilized his emotions, and turned to face everyone.
"From today onwards, I will be the patriarch of the greedy wolf tribe!"
A few steps forward, Gu Chu helped up the four clan elders and asked everyone to stand up.
These four people are the mainstays of the greedy wolf tribe, and in Abba's time, I don't know how much trouble they have settled for Abba.
Now that Abba is dead, the already stormy greedy wolf tribe has been hit hard, so that after Gu Chu became the patriarch, he felt like walking on thin ice, in this place of foggy valley, if the tribe collapses, he will definitely die.
"We must proceed cautiously!"
Gu Chu's eyes were solemn, looking at the four clan elders.
The elder of the Hunting Hall clan, his subordinates have gathered all the strongest clansmen, who are specifically responsible for hunting, and they are extremely experienced.
The elder of the medicine hall, who is responsible for treating the injured people, is different from the earth, the herbs in this world have a fairly good effect, plus this old and knowledgeable clan elder is the mainstay, the treatment efficiency of the medicine hall is enough to compare with most hospitals on the earth.
The old family in the canteen uses secret methods to cook the prey that comes back from each hunt, making it a tonic, which can make the clansmen increase their strength, develop their muscles, run faster, and so on.
The logistics clan elder is the most important of the four aspects, and the responsibility lies in coordinating and assisting the other three aspects, which is the pillar of the tribe. Maybe the effect is not so obvious now, but Gu Chu knew that it was because the greedy wolf tribe was too small, and any bigger one would reflect the importance of logistics.
He looked at the four people, as if he saw the royal tent of the tribe, and immediately said: "Elders, Abba passed away early, I am now shallow, and I am not ready to handle things, so please help me a lot." ”
Several clan elders said: "This is nature, the greedy wolf tribe is our home, we will definitely unite around the clan elder, as the old patriarch said, make my greedy wolf tribe the strongest tribe, and then, participate in the hero conference!"
"Well, that's exactly what I mean, we must attend the Heroes Conference. Gu Chu nodded, faced a clan elder, and asked, "Canteen clan elder, I don't know how much food there is in the tribe?"
The old man of the canteen clan saluted and said, "Tell the patriarch, we still have a hundred impald meat, and we can support the tribe for ten days." ”
"Only ten days?" Gu Chu frowned, in this case, wouldn't he be about to organize another hunt?
As if he had seen through what Gu Chu was worried about, the old man of the Hunting Hall took a step forward and said, "Patriarch, it takes half a day to organize a hunt, but the last hunt used up all the stone spears and traps, and it takes time to prepare, so we can organize a hunt as soon as tomorrow afternoon." ”
"Okay, the logistics clan elder, you prepare for Abba's funeral, the old man of the hunting hall, you go back and organize people to prepare for hunting, and we will set off hunting tomorrow!"
"Yes!"
"Yes!"
The two clan elders received orders one after another, and Gu Chu came out of his grief so quickly and focused on the development of the tribe, which was a good thing for them to be happy about, and naturally they were happy to assist the patriarch.
After paying homage to the old patriarch, Gu Chu went back to his grass hut to rest, and when he had nothing to do, he took out the black briquette that the old patriarch gave him.
"It's not going to be a treasure. "Gu Chu lay on a grass bed, rubbing the surface of the briquettes.
This thing is pitted and thrown on the ground without anyone noticing.
Listening to the old patriarch, this briquette is the source of the totem of the greedy wolf tribe, and it is also something that has been passed down for many generations.
"No matter, just try it and you'll know. ”
The patriarchs of the past generations didn't know how to open this thing, but after reading so many fantasy novels in ancient times, of course they knew how to open this kind of treasure.
He sat up straight, bit his thumb, and let out a drop of blood onto the briquette.
As soon as the blood touched the briquettes, it evaporated instantly, apparently absorbed by it.
"What a treasure!"
Gu Chu was overjoyed, and hurriedly squeezed out a few more drops of blood and hit a few more briquettes on them.
After dozens of drops of blood, the briquette suddenly made a crisp sound, and its black exterior cracked, and the inside was glowing with colorful light.
What kind of treasure is it, let me see.
He peeled back the black shell, and before he could take a closer look at the treasure inside, the treasure glowing with colorful light went down his eyes and drilled into his mind.
Gu Chu was extremely nervous about this situation, and after forcing himself to relax, he slowly felt in his mind.
In the back of his mind, there was a small token with a handsome wolf's head engraved on the front and a crescent mark engraved on the back.
"This is the greedy wolf token that allows me to manipulate a pack of wolves. Gu Chufu was in his heart, and he unconsciously read out what was in his mind, and immediately, he was overjoyed, some wolves were much more effective than ordinary people!
"Abba, you left a good thing for the child. Don't worry, I must go to the Hero Conference, but there are still about ten years before the Hero Conference, and in this ten years, I will first capture Foggy Valley as the cornerstone. ”
The next day, the flow of people in the greedy wolf tribe surged, and the grass shed in the center was removed, erecting a monument as tall as a man.
The name of the old patriarch was engraved on the dark stele, and everyone was speechless, and all the eight hundred people, old and young, all looked at this stele.
Gu Chu stood in front of the stone tablet, looking at all his clansmen, only four hundred of the eight hundred people are young and middle-aged, enough to use combat power, and the rest are all old and weak women and children, but it is worth being happy, because there are relatively many women in the greedy wolf tribe, the fertility rate is very high, and there are more than 100 children, and in a few years, they can grow into warriors of the tribe.
After waiting for a while, Gu Chu walked to the stone tablet, and everyone's eyes were attracted to him.
"The patriarch who has dedicated his life to the greedy wolf tribe, my Abba's departure, he is the hero of my greedy wolf tribe!" Gu Chu raised his arms and shouted, his tone high, "My people, I understand how low your mood has become because of Abba's departure, but don't worry, I will organize a hunt soon, and this time the target is one of the great disasters of the greedy wolf tribe, the grass wolf pack!"
"What did the patriarch say, grass wolf pack?"
"Didn't you go hunting impala this time, how did you become a pack of grass wolves?"
"The grass wolf pack mainly feeds on tender grass, and in winter there is no tender grass and will come to the tribe to eat people, and the grass wolf cub can grow mature in six months and become a fierce grass wolf, such a grass wolf has dry flesh, and can not be made into a tonic for the canteen, at most take its eyeballs and send them to the medicine hall, and make it into an ointment that can cure blindness. ”
In the crowd, many people began to stir, and some of them were a little older, and they couldn't help but sigh slightly, they saw more things than ordinary people, Gu Chu's speech, in their eyes, was the three fires of the new official, but this fire wanted to burn on the grass wolves, it was definitely not a good idea.
Among the four clan elders, three frowned slightly, the greedy wolf tribe has always been hunting specifically to deal with the impala herd, as for the grass wolf pack....carnivores are not so easy to deal with.
Among the clan elders, only the elders of the Hunting Hall clan had a flat expression, but his face was full of red.
Because he was summoned by the patriarch last night, he learned that the patriarch had obtained the sacred relics of the ancestors of the tribe and had the ability to manipulate the wolves.
"The most important thing is that the patriarch told me about the holy relics alone, how much the patriarch should trust me!"
The old man of the Lietang clan was happy in his heart, and he couldn't help but call the patriarch "patriarch"
"People don't have much faith in me, but soon, you'll be impressed with me. Gu Chu saw the commotion of everyone in his eyes, the corners of his mouth rose slightly, and he glanced at the old man of the Hunting Hall without a trace.
"People of the Hunting Hall, start hunting and sacrificing!"
The old man of the Hunting Hall shouted, and two hundred sturdy young people were separated from the crowd, their muscles were bulging like a stone barrier, and the unified eight-pack abs could feel the explosive power of the flesh at a glance, some of them were wearing sheepskin coats, and some were only wearing a beast skin skirt to cover the vital points, and there was no sunlight in the Foggy Valley all year round, and most of their skin was yellow and white.
They are the best warriors of the greedy wolf tribe, as soon as they heard that they were going to hunt, the people in the hunting hall were immediately excited, and two hundred pairs of eyes like wolves and tigers stared at the new patriarch, and their evaluation of him in their hearts suddenly rose a lot.
Gu Chu stood in front of the stone tablet, his eyes swept over the two hundred people who were fierce and compelling.
The greedy wolf tribe is a nomadic system, these two hundred people are not only good hunters, but also the most powerful resistance force in the tribal war, watching the two hundred people being commanded by the patriarch of the hunting hall to move around, this orderly appearance reminds the ancient people of their own country's army on the earth.
Soon, the hunting hall was assembled, and it was just waiting for the sacrifice to begin.
It is the tradition of all tribes to sacrifice before hunting, and the tribesmen will receive power from the totem of faith, which will determine the success or failure of the hunt.
The patriarch of the hunting hall personally led a sheep, and at the beginning of the year, he received a totemic banner handed by a clansman, on which a handsome wolf's head was outlined with purple paint.
This wolf's scalp is smooth, its fangs are stacked and sharp, and its purple eyes are full of murderous intent.
"This is the greedy wolf, the beast of faith of my greedy wolf tribe. Gu Chu groaned, holding up the heavy banner with both hands.
All the people of the greedy wolf tribe knelt down at the flag, they looked at the flag, their eyes showed great reverence, and then they put their hands together and prayed to the greedy wolf sincerely, begging the greedy wolf to make the tribe's hunting successful and bring back enough food for the stomach.
After a long time, the people in the hunting hall in prayer gradually stood up, the old man of the hunting hall was already ready, he nodded at Gu Chu, raised his knife in his hand, slaughtered the impala he brought in, and sprinkled its blood on the greedy wolf totem.
"Woo———"
The greedy wolf totem lit up, and the two hundred members of the hunting hall hurriedly smeared the blood of the impala on themselves, because in this way they could get the blessing of the greedy wolf and improve the efficiency of hunting.
Gu Chu and the elders of the Hunting Hall finally wiped the blood, and after they finished wiping, more than 200 thick bowl-thick cyan rays of light suddenly shot out from the totem, shining on the bodies of everyone in the Hunting Hall.
"We are blessed!"
"We didn't build an altar, it's good to be blessed once out of ten, I didn't expect the great Lord Greedy Wolf to be so optimistic about us!"
"It must be the impact of the new patriarch taking office, long live the patriarch!"
The eyes of the old man of the Hunting Hall were full of excitement, the effect of this blessing was extraordinary, not only did he have all the people in the Hunting Hall been blessed, but seeing that this blessing was as thick as a bowl, its effect would definitely be very good, at least it had to have the degree of blessing that only medium-sized tribes have.
"Patriarch, you are not the one who was chosen by the greedy wolf!" "The elder of the Hunting Hall was full of emotion in his heart.
Gu Chu looked at the excited appearance of everyone, nodded, and sighed that the military heart was available.
"My people, it is a great thing to be blessed by the greedy wolf, and we will definitely succeed in this hunt!"
"Come with me, brave men of the Greedy Wolf Tribe!"
At the beginning of the ancient times, he was also full of pride, stepped on a horse with a big stomach, and rushed out of the tribe on a peerless horse.
