In the center of the spider tribe, there grows a huge banyan tree that requires ten adults to hug. It is so tall and big, relying on its well-developed and thick aerial roots, it truly has become a one-tree forest.
From a distance, the tall banyan tree is much taller than other trees in the entire forest, which is very spectacular.
The totem god of the Spider Tribe lives on this big banyan tree. He usually hides in branches or tree holes and only appears during sacrifices or battles.
Because of this, the Spider Tribe only built a low altar under the big tree to place offerings, which was completely different from the tall and majestic altars of other large tribes.
Under the big banyan tree, in addition to the altar, there are several huge spider houses, which are several times larger than ordinary spider houses.
The core members of the spider tribe, such as witches, leaders and elders, live in these spider houses.
The last time he went to the Spider Tribe, Jiang Xuan was still a five-color warrior. Therefore, he did not enter the central area of the Spider Tribe, but was taken to the house where the Red Spider lived and entertained.
This time, he not only became a seven-color warrior, but also represented a large tribe standing behind him, so his treatment was naturally completely different from before.
Red Spider brought Jiang Xuan to a large spider house, and asked Jiang Xuan to wait at the door while he went in to report.
After a while, Red Spider came out: "Chief Xuan, please come in, our leader and Wu are waiting for you inside."
Jiang Xuan nodded and prepared to enter the Spider House.
However, just as he raised his leg, Red Spider grabbed one of his arms again.
Jiang Xuan turned and looked at her in confusion: "Is there anything else?"
The red spider bit her lip with a seductive look and said, "I have some new and beautiful spider silk clothes. When you have finished talking to the leader, I will take you to see them."
Jiang Xuan had lived two lives as a human being. As the saying goes, even if he had never eaten pork, he had at least seen pigs run. So he knew what she meant. However, it was not easy for him to refuse or accept directly. So, he did not answer, but walked quickly into the spider house and temporarily got rid of the red spider.
Red Spider looked at his panicked back and licked his lips: "What a charming man..."
As for Jiang Xuan, he was suddenly teased by the Red Spider outside the door. It was absolutely impossible for him to remain calm.
However, there were more important things to do right now, so he could only calm down the turmoil in his heart as quickly as possible.
After entering the Spider House, you can clearly see many totem patterns of the Spider Tribe on the walls, as well as various hanging animal horns, skulls and other decorations.
There was a large spider web hanging on the beam of the house. A large poisonous spider with red and black colors intertwined was lying on the edge of the web. The eight eyes on its chest looked coldly at the stranger below.
Jiang Xuan had no doubt that if the enemy coming in was from the Spider Tribe, this highly poisonous giant spider would definitely launch a fatal attack at the critical moment.
In this slightly dangerous environment, Jiang Xuan's mood quickly returned to his usual calm and composure, and he temporarily put aside what had just happened.
In addition to the poisonous spider, there was also a skinny old woman and a strong middle-aged woman in the house. They were the witch and leader of the spider tribe.
While Jiang Xuan was looking at the Spider House and them, they were also looking at Jiang Xuan.
In fact, the leader of the Spider Tribe had met Jiang Xuan before, but she did not have a deep impression of Jiang Xuan. She only remembered that he brought some insect wax two years ago to trade spider silk clothes with the Spider Tribe.
But now, after careful observation, the expression of the leader of the Spider Tribe gradually became solemn.
Because she discovered that not only did Jiang Xuan break through to the level of a seven-color warrior in just two years, but his clothes, weapons, animal skin bags and other things were all very exquisite, and the materials and shapes were extremely rare.
In the eyes of the highly observant leader of the Spider Tribe, these things are silently revealing the strength of the Vine Tribe.
After observing for a while, the leader of the Spider Tribe stood up from the fire pit and greeted Jiang Xuan warmly:
"Leader Xuan, we meet again. Welcome to the Spider Tribe again!"
Although the leader of the Spider Tribe was a woman, she was extremely tall. When she stood up, she was actually half a head taller than Jiang Xuan.
Coupled with her strong muscles and the black spider totem patterns on her face and body, she gives people a very strong sense of oppression.
The witch of the Spider Tribe also stood up and smiled at Jiang Xuan, but because her face was covered with totem patterns and her body was covered with all kinds of strange accessories, her smile looked a little scary.
On the way here, Jiang Xuan learned from Red Spider that the leader of the Spider Tribe was named Yunban. Therefore, although the other party's size was extremely oppressive, he still walked to the fire pit calmly and said in a neither humble nor arrogant manner: "Meet the witch of the Spider Tribe, meet the leader Yunban."
The leader of the Spider Tribe, Yunban, laughed heartily, then pointed to a smooth log beside the fire pit that was obviously used as a stool and said, "Chief Xuan, you're welcome. Please take a seat."
After Jiang Xuan sat down, Yun Ban shouted to the door again: "Bring in all the delicious food to entertain Chief Xuan."
After a while, two female warriors brought three large black pottery jars.
One of the large clay pots was filled with wild fruits, another one was filled with animal meat, and the last one was actually filled with various fat insects, but they were all dead and had undergone preliminary processing.
Then, Yun Ban handed Jiang Xuan a few small wooden sticks with sharp ends and hard texture, as well as a small bag of salt, and asked him to choose the meat or insects he liked to roast and eat.
This way of entertaining is rather wild, but most people in each tribe do this, and Jiang Xuan has become accustomed to it.
Jiang Xuan put a bunch of meat on a stick and grilled it by the fire. He said to Yunban, "Chief Yunban, I came to the Spider Tribe this time to discuss with you about the future cooperation between the Vine Tribe and the Spider Tribe."
"Cooperation? Is it like before, exchanging insect wax for spider silk clothes?"
Yunban used a wooden stick to pierce the fat insect with its wings removed and asked Jiang Xuan curiously.
Jiang Xuan shook his head: "No, it's not just spider silk clothes. Our Teng tribe has many, many goods that can be used for trading."
Jiang Xuan stuck the wooden sticks for the skewers next to the fire pit, then picked up the large animal skin backpack he was carrying, untied the rope on the backpack, and revealed the contents.
He first picked up two cylindrical, teacup-sized sticks of pure white insect wax and said, "This is the latest insect wax produced by our Teng tribe. We don't have a lot this time, so I'll give these two to the chief and witch as a gift."
After Jiang Xuan finished speaking, he handed two huge sticks of insect wax to Yun Ban and the witch of the Spider Tribe respectively.
"Haha... Chief Xuan is so polite..."
Although Yunban was being polite, his hands involuntarily took a huge stick of white insect wax and a joyful smile appeared on his face.
The witch of the Spider Tribe also took a stick of insect wax. Although he didn't say much, the smile on his gloomy face became more sincere.
Insect wax can be used to heal wounds and diseases, and it is relatively rare. For a witch, this gift is difficult to refuse.
Afterwards, Jiang Xuan took out a lot of things from his backpack and gave them all to the leader and witch of the Spider Tribe. Among them were sugar, painted pottery, frozen lotus root and other things, all of which were relatively rare and precious.
As the saying goes, one who eats someone's food will be soft-hearted, and one who receives someone's gifts will be grateful. After receiving many precious gifts, the attitude of the leader and the witch of the Spider Tribe became more enthusiastic than before, and they also found Jiang Xuan more pleasing to the eye.
At this time, Jiang Xuan once again proposed the idea of cooperation between the Vine Tribe and the Spider Tribe. Yun Ban and the Spider Tribe witch immediately took it more seriously than before.
