Chapter 485 Spider Silk

Now let’s talk about Mu Chun who has returned to the Shenmu Tree People’s settlement.

In the old patriarch's tree house, all the members of the Shenmu Tree Clan had a bad feeling when they saw Muchun appearing with a droopy face.

The old patriarch asked cautiously, "What's going on? What did Ji Nuan, the witch doctor, say?"

Mu Chun had a bitter face: "Witch Doctor Ji Nuan's expression was not good at the time. He directly said that there was something to discuss in the tribe, so he asked me to return first."

The old patriarch and the elders were silent. Was this forgiveness? Or was it injustice? They were really anxious.

Not to mention the tree people who were still guessing Ji Nuan's thoughts, the beastmen of the Watson tribe came to the open space of the grand trade fair leisurely. The bustling beasts were extremely lively.

Xiu Yan followed Ji Nuan and looked at the dazzling array of trading items on the surrounding stalls with her.

"Hmm?" Suddenly, a white ball on a stall caught Ji Nuan's attention. She walked over quickly and prepared to pick it up to have a look.

But I didn't expect to be stopped by a rough voice: "You can't touch this thread, you can only look at it like this."

Although the orc's voice was not very pleasant, the words he spoke did not contain malice or disgust.

Ji Nuan raised her head and smiled at the beastman: "You said this is silk?"

The orc nodded attentively: "Yes, this is the silk spun by the white spider that is unique to our tribe. Although it is soft, it is not easy to break and it is very beautiful."

Ji Nuan was very moved when she saw the spider silk reflecting the lustrous light in the sunlight. This thing really looked like Chinese silk.

Pointing to one of the volumes, he said, "Then I'll exchange this one first. If it's good, I'll come back later."

The orcs were overjoyed. This spider silk had been here for a long time, but no orc had ever asked about it. Today, they finally sold one.

Just as she was about to wrap it up in a large leaf and hand it to Ji Nuan, she was stopped by the beastman at the stall next to her: "I advise you not to buy this thing. A few times ago, beastmen bought this spider silk to please females, but it turned out to be useless except for being pretty. It can only be used as a decoration, and it's very expensive."

“Oh?” Ji Nuan looked at the orc on the stall with a red face and asked softly with a confused look, “How did you exchange this spider silk?”

The orc grunted for a long time before carefully extending a finger: "A leaf of the sacred tree."

Ji Nuan couldn't help but take a breath when she thought of the value of the sacred tree leaves. This small roll of spider silk actually required so many sacred tree leaves obtained from animal skins to be exchanged?

But what bothered her now was not the price of the spider silk, but

"Is it only possible to exchange branches and leaves of the sacred tree man here?"

As soon as Ji Nuan asked this question, several vendors around her looked at her as if she was a country bumpkin.

The beastman looked at Ji Nuan with some surprise: "Of course, the items that can be brought here are carefully selected by the tribe, so that we can take the best things and exchange them for branches and leaves of the sacred tree for the tree people."

Ji Nuan felt a little embarrassed. This was a typical example of someone going shopping without bringing money.

I could only awkwardly turn my eyes away from the spider silk that was about to be wrapped.

He looked at the beastman with an apologetic look and said, "I'm so sorry. This is my first time attending a big trade fair, so I don't know the rules of exchange here. I'll go back and get some sacred tree branches and leaves and come back."

I will correct the typos later!
