The red spider came over curiously and asked: "What's in this?"
Jiang Xuan calmly opened the bag, took out a white candle from inside, and said, "Do you recognize this thing?"
The red spider's eyes lit up and he said: "Insect wax that can be used to heal wounds!"
Jiang Xuan pointed to the wick inside the candle and said: "It is not only insect wax that can heal wounds, it can also be used for lighting after lighting. After lighting the candle, it has a soothing effect and can make people sleep better."
The Red Spider shook his head and said: "We wouldn't be willing to use it to heal wounds. It's too wasteful to use it to light fires."
Jiang Xuan was stunned for a moment, and then he figured out that insect wax was a very precious thing in the Vine Tribe. It was resold all the way to the central part of the Southern Wilderness by the Black Teeth Tribe. The price was probably ridiculously high, so how could the Spider Tribe be willing to use it for lighting? .
After Jiang Xuan wanted to understand this, he stopped introducing the functions of candles.
"Since the leader of the red spiders knows this thing, he should understand how precious this thing is. How many spider silk clothes can the leader of the red spiders think can be exchanged for this candle?"
The candle Jiang Xuan took out was as thick as a child's arm, as white as snow, and full of weight. The Red Spider thought for a moment and said, "That depends on what kind of spider silk clothing you want to change into."
"You have to show me those spider silk clothes you have, right? Well, you come with me."
Red Spider turned around and walked into the living area. Jiang Xuan picked up the animal skin bag and followed her.
They passed through houses built in the shape of large spiders, attracting a crowd of people from the Spider Tribe to watch and whisper.
"Which tribe is this man from? I don't know, I've never seen this kind of totem pattern before."
"He has good strength and a strong body. Could it be that the leader of the Red Spiders has taken a liking to him?"
The people in the Spider Tribe were discussing excitedly. Tribe people were also very keen on eating melons.
Jiang Xuan has excellent hearing. When he heard these discussions, he immediately felt very embarrassed. He just came to trade spider silk clothes and had no intention of selling his body.
Red Spider also heard these discussions, but her performance was much calmer, as if she didn't care at all.
The two of them walked to the center of the spider tribe's residential area and arrived in front of a large spider house.
The structure of the spider house is very strange. Its door is located at the mouthparts of the spider. Walking in through the door feels like being eaten by a spider, which makes outsiders feel quite uncomfortable.
After entering the gate, you can see two relatively small windows. The positions of the windows are exactly the two eyes of the spider.
Walking further inside, you will find the spider’s abdomen, which is also the main part of the spider house. It is oval-shaped and feels wider after entering.
The bottom of the spider house's wall is made of stone, about fifty centimeters high, and the upper part is a civil structure.
The skeleton is made of non-perishable wood, and the walls are filled with a mixture of soil and hay. The overall look is relatively strong and durable, much better than ordinary wooden houses.
Jiang Xuan also saw some cracks on the wall, which were obviously caused by time. Under the attack of wind, sun, rain and rain, this kind of spider house would not last for many years.
However, Jiang Xuan believes that if the Spider Tribe can often learn lessons and continuously upgrade and transform the Spider House, sooner or later it will become strong and durable and can withstand the test of time.
Because this kind of house is already similar to a mud-brick house, except for the waterproof layer of tiles.
Jiang Xuan briefly observed the structure of the spider house, and then saw the red spider lighting the fire pit in the house. Under the light of the fire, he saw that the walls were covered with spider silk clothes.
The red spider explained: "This place cannot be lit frequently, otherwise, the spider silk clothing will be blackened, and the spider silk clothing will be burned accidentally."
Jiang Xuan nodded in understanding. Although the spider silk clothing is extremely tough and dense, even a knife cannot penetrate it, but it has a fatal flaw, that is, it is afraid of fire.
No matter how good the spider silk clothing is, once it is thrown into the fire, it will be burned to ashes.
Red Spider carefully took a few pieces of spider silk clothes and said to Jiang Xuan: "Go outside and take a look. It's too dark here."
"Okay." Jiang Xuan followed the red spider and walked outside the spider house again. "Chief Xuan, what do you think of this spider silk suit?"
The red spider unfolded a spider silk garment and saw that the spider silk garment was pure white and very shiny in the sunlight.
"Not bad."
This spider silk clothing is no different from the spider silk clothing Jiang Xuan traded with the Black Teeth Tribe before. It has no special features except that it is extremely tough and can be used as soft armor.
Red Spider saw that Jiang Xuan was not satisfied, so he put down the pure white spider silk clothing and unfolded another spider silk clothing.
"Where's this one?"
This spider silk garment is light yellow in color overall, which is better looking than the previous pure white spider silk garment, but Jiang Xuan is still not satisfied.
Red Spider showed Jiang Xuan several other pieces of spider silk clothing one by one, including light red, light green, gray, brown, etc.
After Jiang Xuan read it, he only gave a few symbolic compliments.
Red Spider asked in confusion: "Leader Xuan doesn't like these spider silk clothes?"
Jiang Xuan opened the collar of the animal skin coat and said: "These spider silk coats are very good, but I have already traded a few with the Black Tooth Tribe before. Look, I am only wearing one."
"The reason why I came to your spider tribe is because I want better spider silk clothing. What kind of spider silk clothing is better in the eyes of Leader Xuan?"
Jiang Xuan pointed to the spider silk clothing worn by the red spider and said: "A spider silk clothing with various colors and patterns like the one you are wearing is very beautiful."
"It turns out that what Leader Xuan wants is this kind of spider silk clothing."
The red spider suddenly understood, and then decisively refused: "I'm sorry, our tribe will never trade this kind of spider silk clothing."
"Why?"
Jiang Xuan felt very puzzled. Since the Spider Tribe produces spider silk clothes, why do they only trade them with solid colors?
"Because the patterned spider silk clothing is so precious, even in our spider tribe, only the witch leader and other leaders can wear it."
Different from ordinary spider silk clothing, the patterned multi-color spider silk clothing is extremely complicated in process, and there are very few spiders that can produce colorful spider silk. Even spider tribes with spiders everywhere may not be able to produce one piece of colorful spider silk in a year. Clothes.

Because of this, the colorful spider silk clothing has become a symbol of the identity and status of the spider tribe, and only people above the leader can wear it.
After hearing Red Spider's reasons, Jiang Xuan felt a little depressed. No wonder the spider silk clothes brought by the Black Tooth Tribe didn't have any colorful ones.
"Then... let's trade these items first."
Jiang Xuan had no choice but to settle for the next best thing and look at those solid-colored ones.
Of course, this does not mean that he has given up on colorful spider silk clothes. If there is a chance in the future, he still wants to trade a few pieces with the spider tribe.
Jiang Xuan picked up a stick of insect wax and said, "How many spider silk clothes can you exchange for this stick of insect wax?"
The red spider stared at the insect wax for a while and said, "Can I scrape some powder off and try it? Yes, but how do you want to try it?"
Red Spider picked up a sharp stone knife and cut his arm without hesitation. He said calmly: "Try this."
When Jiang Xuan saw the blood on Red Spider's arm, he couldn't help but twitch at the corner of his mouth. This woman was so fierce that it hurt just to look at her. Of course, Red Spider was a four-color warrior, and she cut very carefully. , the wound is very shallow.
Jiang Xuan also pulled out a small knife made of fine stone and said, "Stretch out your hand." Red Spider stretched out his arm in front of Jiang Xuan, and blood was flowing down drop by drop.
Jiang Xuan used a knife to gently scrape the candle, and some white powder fell on the wound. A magical scene appeared.
As the white powder adheres, the blood on the wound merges with the white powder, and then quickly solidifies, directly sealing the wound.
Red Spider took his hand back, looked at the wound carefully, and even squeezed it a few times with his fingers, then nodded with satisfaction and said: "Yes, it's good insect wax."
Then, she picked up a spider silk clothing and said to Jiang Xuan: "I will also show you our spider silk clothing. Take a good look at it."
The red spider held the stone knife in his hand and pierced the spider silk clothing directly, with a very rough movement. After finishing the stabbing, the red spider put away the knife and unfolded the spider silk clothing again.
The spider silk clothing was violently damaged without any holes or rips, and the quality is unbelievably good.
"How is it?" Red Spider raised his chin slightly and asked Jiang Xuan. "Very good, very strong."
"Of course, if you put on our spider silk clothes, even the sharp claws of wild beasts can't hurt you."
The red spider is very proud, because the spider tribe's spider silk clothing is very famous throughout the central part of the Southern Wilderness.
Both parties were satisfied with their goods, and the transaction officially began.
Jiang Xuan held up the piece of insect wax that was as thick as a child's arm and said, "What do you think of replacing such a big piece of insect wax with three spider silk clothes?"
"Three pieces?"
A look of astonishment appeared on the red spider's face. After reacting, he said decisively: "It's a deal. One piece of insect wax is exchanged for three pieces of spider silk clothing. It can't be changed!"
Red Spider immediately picked up three pieces of spider silk clothing and stuffed them at Jiang Xuan, then snatched the insect wax away, fearing that Jiang Xuan would regret it.
What is going on? Jiang Xuan is confused.
When he traded spider silk clothes with the Black Teeth Tribe, he could exchange two sticks of insect wax for one. This time he went to the Spider Tribe in person, thinking that the price offered for three spider silk clothes was already high.
He even thought that if the red spider couldn't accept the price, it would be quite profitable to exchange one piece of insect wax for two pieces of spider silk clothing.
However, he never expected that the exchange of three pieces of spider silk clothing for one piece of insect wax would actually make Red Spider overjoyed, and he couldn't wait to trade with him, fearing that he would regret it.
Thinking about it this way, the Black Teeth Tribe sold insect wax from the Vine Tribe to the Spider Tribe, and one piece of insect wax was used for at least four pieces of spider silk clothing.
The Black Tooth Tribe is indeed the Black Tooth Tribe, so dark!
Jiang Xuan couldn't help complaining in his heart, the price difference earned by this middleman was too harsh.
However, exchanging one piece of insect wax for three pieces of spider silk clothing was not a loss for Jiang Xuan, and it was even more profitable than he expected.
The trip was well worth it.
Jiang Xuan opened the animal skin bag, took out a pile of insect wax from it, and said to the red spider with great wealth: "I finally came to the Spider Tribe. Since I have a deal, I will make it bigger and exchange all these insect wax for Spider silk coat!"
The red spider's eyes widened when she saw so much insect wax. This was a really big customer! However, with so many spider silk clothes, she couldn't make the final decision.
She immediately shouted to a female warrior next to her: "Go find the leader and tell him that the Spider Tribe has a distinguished guest!"
"Yes!"
The female warrior was also very excited and immediately ran all the way to find the leader.
