After transmigrating into a primitive world, Jiang Xuan decides to carve out a future with his own two hands.
No golden finger, no system—just sweat, tools, and determination.
He clea...
Chapter 79: Stunning Spider Silk Clothes
The two foxes completed a deal and both sides were satisfied.
"Chief Xuan, do you want to trade something else? We still have a lot of goods."
Wu Yu put away his two pairs of wild boar tusks, and the smile on his face became more sincere.
Jiang Xuan said helplessly: "I also want to trade more things, but our Teng tribe is really poor. You guys won't be interested in those ordinary things."
Wu Yu glanced into the bamboo house again and nodded. The Teng tribe was indeed extremely poor and could not produce many good things.
Therefore, Wu Yu did not force another trade.
"Since Chief Xuan has nothing else to trade, can you take me to see the old man over there?"
Wu Yu saw that the old witch had a lot of animal bones, teeth and horns.
The giant eagle's strength is terrifying, and the prey it hunts is naturally not ordinary stuff.
This kind of trading partner is what Wu Yu likes, because he can make a lot of money in every transaction.
"Well, we have to ask his opinion first."
Jiang Xuan did not agree to this request rashly, because the old witch's stay in the Teng tribe could bring them many benefits.
If you disrespect the old witch and bring anyone to see him, and if you end up angering him and he rides away on a giant eagle, then you will end up losing more than you gain.
"Okay, tell him that we have a lot of goods. There must be something he is interested in, or something he has been looking for but has not found."
Wu Yu is a very smart person. He only asked Jiang Xuan to say one sentence, but this sentence can make people interested in them after listening to it.
"good."
Jiang Xuan went to the old witch in person and relayed Wu Yu's words to him truthfully.
Because he always felt that the old witch, although a little old, was a little unfathomable.
When facing such people, it is best to tell the truth and not to exaggerate and try to influence the other person's judgment.
The old witch did not answer directly, but asked: "What did your Teng tribe trade with them?"
Jiang Xuan smiled bitterly and said, "We just traded some plant seeds. Our Teng tribe is too poor and we don't have anything to offer."
The old witch asked curiously, "Don't you still have two magic mushrooms in your hand? They are useless to you, but to other tribes, they are treasures."
"I don't plan to trade the Magic Mushroom with the Black Tooth Tribe."
Jiang Xuan said: "For just two magic mushrooms, of course I have to exchange them for something else. The goods of the Black Tooth Tribe are profitable on both ends. It would be a big loss to trade with them using magic mushrooms."
The traveling team of the Black Tooth Tribe is the most primitive middleman. They not only make a profit from the price difference, but also make a lot of money.
A piece of goods, after passing through their hands and being sold from its place of origin to other tribes, can earn them at least ten times, or even dozens or hundreds of times, the profit.
Because this primitive world is too isolated from information, and there are few traveling teams like theirs, and no one is competing for their business, they naturally sell at as high a price as possible.
The old witch laughed and said, "You are quite clever, boy."
Then, the old witch continued: "The reason why I left the tribe and came to the Southern Wilderness is to see a wider world and more things. Since they brought a lot of goods, let's take a look."
"Then I'll go and bring the person over."
After obtaining the old witch's consent, Jiang Xuan returned to the bamboo house and informed Wu Yu that he could go over.
Wu Yu was very happy. He first thanked Jiang Xuan verbally, then immediately sent two warriors to the location of the black-toothed bird, took out some precious and rare goods, and followed Jiang Xuan to the house where the old witch lived.
Wu Yu introduced himself first: "I am from the Black Tooth Tribe, Wu Yu, nice to meet the elder."
The old witch nodded and said, "Eastern Wild Eagle Tribe, Ze."
Jiang Xuan, who was standing by, was surprised to find that the old witch actually said his name. Before this, he didn't know what the old witch's name was, and of course, he had never asked.
However, the old witch was obviously wary of Wu Yu and did not reveal his identity to anyone.
After hearing what the old witch said, Wu Yu's face was full of shock, because the distance between the four wildernesses was too far. Even the Black Tooth Tribe, which had giant birds like the Black Tooth Bird, only ran goods in the Southern Wilderness.
For most tribes in the Southern Wilderness, the Eastern Wilderness is a legendary place that most people will never be able to reach in their lifetime.
The old witch said, "I heard that you brought a lot of goods. Take them out and let us see them."
At the mention of the goods, Karasuba immediately recovered from his state of shock and entered the state of doing business.
"That's right. Our Black Tooth Tribe has the most complete range of goods in the entire Southern Wilds. There must be something that the elders like."
Wu Yu waved his hand, and the two warriors behind him immediately took out a large animal hide, spread it flat on the ground, and then took out several animal hide bags, opened them one by one, and then took out the goods inside and placed them on the animal hides.
Jiang Xuan watched the people of the Black Tooth Tribe busy with interest. He thought: Isn't this the most primitive street stall? It's quite interesting.
Among the goods that Wu Yu took out were brand new spider silk clothes, as well as various treasures considered precious by the tribesmen, such as gems, bone ornaments, etc.
In addition, there are exquisite weapons, as well as some rare herbs and fruits of magical plants.
Wu Yu picked up the spider silk dress and promoted it because it was more expensive.
"Elder, please look. This is the spider silk clothing produced by our Southern Wilderness Spider Tribe. It is exquisite and light. The hot weather is coming. Wearing such a spider silk clothing will definitely be very comfortable."
"Spider silk clothes are not only comfortable to wear, but also extremely tough. Ordinary stone knives cannot cut them. If you don't believe me, please see for yourself."
Wu Yu asked the two warriors to straighten the spider silk clothes, then he pulled out a stone knife he carried with him, chopped the spider silk clothes hard, and scratched it.
A shocking scene appeared.
It turned out that this spider silk dress was intact despite such violent destruction, without even a scratch!
Jiang Xuan suddenly remembered a curious piece of information he had read in his previous life: spider silk of the same volume is tougher than steel wire and can even be used to make bulletproof vests!
Jiang Xuan sighed inwardly: This thing is equivalent to a close-fitting soft armor. It would be great if I could get one for self-defense.
Of course, he could only think about it.
The spider silk clothes are too expensive. Unless he takes out the two magic mushrooms, he really can't come up with something of equal value to trade with Wu Yu.
Even the usually calm old witch showed some emotion when he saw the spider silk clothes that Wu Yu displayed, and it was obvious that he was quite interested in it.
"How to trade?" asked the old witch.
Wu Yu had a bright smile on his face and said, "Spider silk clothes are extremely precious. We spent a lot of money to trade a batch from the Spider Tribe."
"If the elder wants a spider silk coat, he needs to take out beast-level tusks, horns, and hides, or gem-level stones, as well as other rare items."
The tribesmen divided the animals in the jungle into wild beasts, fierce beasts and exotic beasts.
Wild animals are the most common, such as bighorn sheep, wild boars, bison, etc.
Most ferocious beasts are terrible predators and are much more dangerous than wild animals. For example, saber-toothed tigers and wild bears are all ferocious beasts.
As for strange beasts, they are even rarer. They usually have unique survival abilities. Ordinary tribesmen’s knowledge of strange beasts mostly comes from legends, because most of the people who have seen them with their own eyes have died.
Gem-grade stones are also rare. For example, the small stone knife in the old witch's hand is of gem-grade, which makes Jiang Xuan very envious.
After Wu Yu finished speaking, he looked at the old witch with a smile, and his eyes occasionally drifted to the gem-grade stone knife hanging on the old witch's waist.
"Come with me."
The old witch put his hands behind his back and walked towards the open space next to the bamboo house, followed by Wu Yu and others.
Next to the bamboo house, the giant eagle had gone out to look for food. There were many large skeletons on the open ground, which were the leftovers of the giant eagle.
Some bones were relatively intact, while others were broken into several pieces.
Some bones had scratches left by terrible eagle claws, and some animal bones had a large hole in the skull, which was obviously pecked by a giant eagle.
Among these skeletons, many were large beasts and terrible predators, but in front of the giant eagle, they could only become food.
In fact, these bones are a huge fortune for the tribesmen, but the people of the Teng tribe never dared to approach here.
Because the giant eagle is so scary. If it is in a bad mood, it can swallow a person like a small insect with just a light peck.
The old witch did not let Jiang Xuan and the others come to take the animal bones, because he had more far-reaching ideas.
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
The Teng tribe is still too weak now. If we give them too many things and make them develop a habit of dependence, then what will they do after the old witch leaves?
Because of this, the old witch would occasionally ask Jiang Xuan to come and take some animal meat back to eat, but he never let him take any animal bones, tusks or skins here.
At this time, the old witch brought them to this open space, and Jiang Xuan deeply understood what it meant to be rich and powerful.
The old witch walked to the front of a dicynodont skeleton, pointed at the two thick fangs in the dicynodont skull and said, "This pair of fangs, in exchange for two spider silk clothes!"
The old witch's voice was calm, and his eyes were calm, but for some reason, Wu Yu felt the unquestionable majesty, so much so that he didn't dare to bargain.
Of course, the dicynodont is also a kind of ferocious beast. The fangs of the dicynodont are the best material for the tribesmen to make tooth knives, and are very popular.
For Wu Yu, exchanging two spider silk clothes for a pair of fangs of the dicynodont was a good deal.
Wu Yu said: "It's okay to trade, but please allow me to pry off these fangs first."
The old witch nodded without objection.
After getting permission, Wu Yu personally led his men to use stone hammers, stone chisels and other tools to chisel open the bones of the dicynodont and take out the pair of fangs intact.
Jiang Xuan watched Wu Yu removing the dicynodont tusk with great interest, and paid special attention to the use of the tools.
He discovered that the tools of the Black Tooth Tribe were of very high quality, and their shapes were similar to some tools he had seen in his previous life.
The tribesmen have a long history of using these tools. After countless improvements by countless people, they have become what they are today and are very practical.
It would be nice if the Vine Tribe also had these tools.
Jiang Xuan was a little envious of the people of the Black Tooth Tribe.
In those more powerful tribes, there were specialized professions such as stone tool makers and bone tool makers, and these tools were also made by these people.
As for the Teng tribe, there is not even one stone tool master at present, so there is still a long way to go in the road of development.
When the pair of fangs of the dicynodont were completely removed, Wu Yu stroked them several times and was very satisfied.
Dicynodont is a carnivorous beast. It got its name because of its two huge tusks. The tusks are thick and straight, and not hollow like wild boar teeth, making them very suitable for making various utensils.
The pair of fangs that Wu Yu took out were as thick as an adult's arm, more than half a meter long, and very complete and smooth. They were rare and fine animal tusks.
Wu Yu was already calculating in his mind how much supplies he could get from this pair of animal tusks if he took them back to a bone toolmaker to be processed into tooth knives and then sold them to the big tribes.
Although there was no bargaining and he had to get the fangs himself, Wu Yu was in a good mood because he made a profit from the deal.
Wu Yu said respectfully: "Elder, the fangs have been taken down, you can go and pick out two spider silk clothes that you like."
The old witch nodded, then returned to the front of the bamboo house and selected two pieces of spider silk clothing from seven or eight pieces. The deal was then completed.
"Elder, we still have a lot of goods..."
After completing the first transaction, Wu Yu enthusiastically introduced other goods to the old witch.
The old witch was not interested in those weapons, gems, and exquisite accessories.
However, the old witch was very interested in some rare herbs brought by the Black Tooth Tribe, and he selected several rare and very useful herbs from them.
For this purpose, the old witch took Wu Yu to select two pairs of animal tusks and several animal bones.
Wu Yu's face was full of smiles. Although the old witch didn't like to bargain and was rather strong-willed, they still made a lot of money from this transaction.
When all the transactions were completed, Wu Yu specially gave the old witch some practical but not very valuable things as a gift, and hoped that he could continue to trade with the old witch next time he came.
The old witch accepted the gifts calmly, but did not make any comment about the next transaction.
Because he himself doesn't know how long he has left to live, and doesn't know whether he can wait until the next transaction.
"Cry!"
After all the transactions were completed, the people of the Black Tooth Tribe took a short break, ate something, and then set off again riding on the twelve Black Tooth Birds.
They would go to the next tribe and continue trading until they had earned enough supplies and then return to the Black Tooth Tribe.
After the people from the Black Tooth tribe left, the old witch called Jiang Xuan and Chi Shao into the bamboo house.
"Put on these two spider silk clothes."
The old witch handed the two spider silk clothes to Jiang Xuan and Chi Shao respectively. He gave away such precious things without blinking an eye.
"This... this is too expensive..."
Jiang Xuan was surprised. He never expected that the old witch would give them both spider silk clothes.
In that case, wouldn't he have nothing himself?
In other words, he decided to trade the spider silk clothes with Wu Yu just for them.
Chishao was also a little at a loss, obviously she also knew how valuable the spider silk clothes were.
The old witch said, "Take it. These things are nothing to me, but they are very important to you."
"With the spider silk clothes, you won't be so easily injured when you go out hunting in the future. At the critical moment, it can even save your life."
"Consider it my reward for living in your tribe for so long."
Under the old witch's insistence, Jiang Xuan and Chi Shao had no choice but to accept the two spider silk clothes. At the same time, Jiang Xuan keenly realized that the old witch seemed to have some new plan.
He seemed to be leaving the Teng tribe.
