Chapter 255: What a Big Spider
Jiang Xuan flew south along the route guided by Wu Yu.
He searched for several tribes along the way one by one, and after finding them, he could be sure that his route was correct.
He rode on Tangyuan, flying and searching all the way. After many twists and turns, he finally flew to the vicinity of the Spider Tribe on the eighth day.
It takes the black-toothed bird five or six days to fly the distance, but it took Jiang Xuan eight days riding the faster Tangyuan. Half of the time was spent on finding the way and determining the locations of the tribes along the way.
“Boom!”
The glutinous rice balls fell on an open space. Jiang Xuan looked ahead and saw a large number of spider webs in the forest. Spiders of various colors and sizes were lying on the webs, swaying in the wind.
On a big tree not far away, the bark was scraped white and a totem pattern was painted on it with black paint. The totem pattern looked like a scary big black spider.
"That's right, it should be here."
Jiang Xuan looked at the forest covered with spider webs and walked slowly forward with Tangyuan.
Not long after walking, Jiang Xuan came across a few dilapidated wooden houses and a few tourists in them.
When these tourists saw Jiang Xuan coming over, they all shrank back into the house, with fear and vigilance in their eyes.
Jiang Xuan didn't care, because most tourists were timid, not to mention he was carrying a ferocious bird like Tangyuan.
A normal large tribe will definitely have tourists gathering on the outskirts.
Because the primeval forest is too dangerous, the forest outside the large tribe is relatively safer. If the large tribe happens to need people, you can find an opportunity to join in.
There are actually very few groups like the Ant Tribe.
He continued walking forward, and more spiders appeared in the forest. Some were only the size of a thumb, while others were as big as calves. With their eight long legs spread out, they ran very fast on the trees and on the ground, looking very scary.
Some spiders have complex patterns on their backs, some look like eyes, and some look like strange human faces, which make people feel creepy.
“Rustle…”
Jiang Xuan continued walking forward for a while, and suddenly a dozen big spiders appeared in front of him, with warriors of the Spider Tribe sitting on their backs.
Leading them was a strong female warrior. She was wearing animal skins, holding a black spear in her hand, and had scary black totem patterns painted on her face, which was simply intimidating.
The female warrior pointed the spear in her hand at Jiang Xuan and asked, "Which tribe are you from?"
Jiang Xuan replied calmly, "I'm from the Teng tribe."
"Ivy tribe?"
The female warrior thought about it carefully and realized that she had never heard of this tribe, so she didn't care.
"What are you doing in our Spider Tribe?"
"I heard that the spider silk clothes of the Spider Tribe are rare treasures. I wanted to come and see if I could trade a few pieces."
"Want to trade the spider silk clothes?"
The female warrior looked at Jiang Xuan, then nodded and said, "Since you want to trade the spider silk clothes, then come with me. However, this big purple bird must stay outside."
Those big spiders were all anxious in front of Tangyuan, so the female warrior didn't want Tangyuan to go in.
Jiang Xuan turned back helplessly and said to Tang Yuan: "Go hunt nearby by yourself, remember, don't hurt anyone."
Although Tangyuan was a little dissatisfied, this kind of thing happened more than once or twice. It turned around and left, walked to an open space and took off.
After Tang Yuan left, the giant spiders finally stopped being anxious. The female warrior rode on the back of a giant spider, shook her hair, and said, "Come with us."
Those big spiders stretched out their long legs and ran quickly forward.
Jiang Xuan immediately followed. With the help of big trees, he kept jumping and running. His speed was no slower than those big spiders.
The female warrior looked back and nodded slightly. This five-color warrior was indeed the real deal.
Soon, they passed through the vast forest and entered the real territory of the Spider Tribe.
Jiang Xuan felt like he had entered the Spider Cave, with spider webs and big spiders everywhere.
Jiang Xuan also discovered a detail, that is, the powerful Spider Tribe warriors are often women, while the male warriors look relatively weak.
This situation is relatively rare, because Jiang Xuan has been to many tribes, and most of them have stronger male warriors, because men are born with better physical fitness and are naturally better at hunting.
But in the Spider Tribe, this common sense was broken.
The women of the Spider Tribe were all very strong and powerful. They could easily suppress the male warriors and occupied various important positions in the tribe.
Jiang Xuan couldn't figure out what was going on, and he didn't ask any questions, after all, the two parties were not familiar with each other.
The female warrior led Jiang Xuan all the way and finally arrived at the residential area of the Spider Tribe.
Jiang Xuan was surprised as he just walked to the entrance of the Spider Tribe’s residential area, because he saw a black spider as big as a house lying quietly at the entrance of the residential area.
"What a huge spider!"
Jiang Xuan had never seen such a big spider and was really shocked.
The female warrior said proudly: "What you are seeing now is the skin that our Spider God shed long ago."
Spider sheds its skin?
Jiang Xuan had seen the shed skin of a small spider, but that skin looked like an empty shell, nothing like the lifelike and oppressive skin of the spider god in front of him.
Perhaps, the spider god skin in front of us has undergone special processing and decoration.
Jiang Xuan walked around the huge spider skin and continued moving forward.
The architecture of the Spider Tribe is very interesting. It is a civil structure and its shape is exactly the same as that of a spider.
At first glance, I thought it was a group of spiders as big as houses lying on the ground.
The female warrior took Jiang Xuan to an open space in front of the residential area and said, "Wait here for a moment. I'll go get the leader to come over."
Jiang Xuan nodded and waited there.
After the female warrior left, the nearby Spider Tribe members looked at Jiang Xuan curiously, but no one approached.
Not far away, the spiders were crawling around as if no one was around.
Jiang Xuan noticed that small spiders usually spin silk to make webs, but large spiders do not make webs. Instead, they hunt like wild beasts.
He also noticed that the Spider Tribe planted a lot of edible food, vegetables and fruit trees.
Where the Spider Tribe is located, the climate is relatively warm even in winter, and the grains and vegetables grow very lushly.
Most importantly, Jiang Xuan discovered that the leaves of these grains and vegetables were mostly intact and had hardly been eaten by insects.
The reason for this result should be related to those spiders.
There are too many spiders in the spider tribe, and all kinds of pests are their food, so those pests have no way to reproduce on a large scale.
Because there is no threat from pests, the Spider Tribe's farming industry is stronger than other tribes in the central region, and they grow a wider variety of grains and vegetables.
Jiang Xuan observed the Spider Tribe while waiting patiently.
Not long after, a female warrior about twenty years old appeared. On her face, there were four-color warrior patterns! Jiang Xuan was surprised. Apart from the Teng tribe, it was the first time he saw such a young four-color warrior.
The female warrior also had black totem patterns painted on her face and her long hair was tied into a ponytail. Perhaps because of her heavy exercise, she had a very good figure.
Jiang Xuan's focus was not on her figure, but on the clothes she was wearing.
The female warrior was not wearing animal skins, but spider silk clothes that looked like silk! Moreover, the spider silk clothes she wore were not of a monotonous solid color, but had some colorful and beautiful patterns on them.
Such clothes are extremely rare in primitive tribes and can be regarded as rare treasures.
The female warrior walked up to Jiang Xuan, looked him up and down, with a look of surprise in her eyes.
Then, she said, "Spider Tribe, Guard Leader, Red Spider."
Her voice was unexpectedly beautiful and had a wildness to it.
"The leader of the Fuji tribe, Xuan."
Jiang Xuan's voice was relatively calm, without any trace of panic.
What a young tribal leader!
Red Spider continued to look at Jiang Xuan with an aggressive and even unscrupulous look in his eyes.
Jiang Xuan was a little uncomfortable with this kind of look. The women from other tribes were also quite wild, but not as aggressive as the women from the Spider Tribe.
"You want to trade the spider silk clothes?"
"That's right."
"Did you bring the goods?"
"The cargo is on the back of my mount, and your people won't let it in."
Red Spider frowned slightly. Normally, the Spider Tribe would not refuse the mounts of warriors from other tribes from entering.
She turned and asked the female warrior in a low voice: "What's going on?"
The female warrior explained: "His mount is a purple ferocious bird, taller than the house, and our spiders don't like that ferocious bird."
The female warrior's words actually aroused Red Spider's interest. She said to Jiang Xuan, "Since we are doing a deal, we must see the goods first. How about this, you summon your mount to that open space."
After the female warrior finished speaking, she pointed to a large open space in front of the residential area. There were almost no spiders in that open space.
"good."
Jiang Xuan took out the bone whistle, put it to his lips and started to blow it "woo woo" towards the sky.
"Eer..."
Not long after, a response was heard from afar. A purple ferocious bird flew up from a hilltop and flew straight towards where Jiang Xuan was.
Tangyuan has a wingspan of forty to fifty meters, making it a real behemoth, with its purple feathers sparkling in the sun.
When it landed towards the spider tribe, it cast a large shadow, and the big spiders nearby disappeared with a "whoosh".
“Boom!”
The glutinous rice balls fell to the ground, and their claws left many deep holes in the muddy ground.
“So big…”
The red spider looked at the huge glutinous rice balls and was a little dazed for a moment.
Even in the dangerous primeval forest, it is rare to see such a large and ferocious bird as Tangyuan.
Jiang Xuan didn't care about all this. After all, it was Red Spider who asked him to summon them. Whether they scared the spiders or scared people, it was Red Spider's responsibility.
He walked up to Tangyuan on his own, then took off a leather bag from Tangyuan's back that had never been taken out to trade with other tribes, and returned to the ground.
The goods in this animal skin bag were specially kept by him to trade for spider silk clothes at the Spider Tribe.
Thanks to the book friend "Senior Brother Chen Yuan" for the reward of 2,000 book coins.
