Reborn in the Age of Ancient Behemoths

When Bai Xuan heard this, he looked at Bai Hao and said: Thank you then, second brother.

Bai Hao: Thank you, thank you. We are a family. Besides, if the wild fruits and vegetables we bring back are edible, we would also like to thank you, little sister!

Bai Xuan: Second brother, what are you saying to thank me? Are you going to find some edible wild fruits and vegetables that I won’t eat?

When Bai Xuan said this, he paused. Then Bai Xuan looked at Bai Rui and asked: By the way, father, have the clansmen found silkworm cocoons elsewhere?

Bai Rui: Some time ago, when the leader and others were hunting in the forest of the three tribes, they found two large mulberry forests with many silkworm cocoons on the mulberry trees.

It's just that the color of those cocoons is not white, but purple. The leader told me that after the purple cocoon silk is woven into cloth, I will give you a few pieces.

Bai Xuan: Father, we have brought all the cocoons back. Have you boiled the cocoons and drawn the silk?

Bai Rui nodded when he heard this, then looked at Bai Xuan and asked: Xuan Zai, why are you asking this?

Bai Xuan: I originally thought that with so many cocoons, I could ask my eldest sister and the others to teach the tribesmen how to open and pull cotton to make silk quilts.

Father, please tell the leader that next time you find a silkworm cocoon, don't boil the cocoon and draw silk. You can ask the elder sisters to teach the tribe how to open cotton and pull cotton to make silk quilts.

Bai Rui: Xuanzai, I will tell the leader tomorrow, but even if the tribesmen find cocoons again, the leader will not use the cocoons to make silk quilts.

After all, making silk quilts requires a lot of cocoons, and the cloth currently woven from silk is not enough for each tribal member.

Moreover, the leader also wants to bring a large amount of silk to the Huaimu Plain at the end of autumn. The major orc tribes will hold a big market in exchange for a large amount of food back to the tribe.

Although silk quilts are good, if a large amount of silkworm cocoons are not found, the leader will probably not use silkworm cocoons to make silk quilts because it is not cost-effective.

Bai Xuan: That’s it! I didn't think of it just now, but now that I think about it, it is indeed more cost-effective to spin silkworm cocoons into silk.

Even a piece of silk should be able to be exchanged for several pieces of hides from late-stage yellow-level behemoths!

Bai Rui nodded when he heard this, and then said: A piece of silk that is more than one meter wide and two meters long can indeed be exchanged for several pieces of animal skins of late yellow-level giant beasts.

Although the silk quilt is very warm, one silk quilt requires a lot of cocoons. Using these cocoons to weave silk into cloth, the animal skins obtained can enable several tribesmen to live well in winter without worrying about freezing to death.

So now silk cloth is indeed more effective than silk quilt.

Bai Xuan thought for a while after hearing this, and then said: Father, you'd better not tell the leader. We can wait until there are more cocoons.

Father, there is a plant whose flowers can be made into a quilt that is similar to a silk quilt. When you go out, see if there is that kind of plant around you.

That plant is called cotton. Its flowers are white and soft to the touch, like small clouds. Of course, they may be of other colors.

The reason why Bai Xuan added the last sentence was because Bai Xuan didn't know whether the cotton in this world was the cotton he knew. There were cotton of other colors in the world, and Bai Xuan didn't find it strange.

Bai Rui heard this and said: Okay, Xuan Zai, when I go out hunting and patrolling, I will check around to see if there are any plants called cotton that you mentioned.

When Bai Xuan heard this, he turned to look at Bai Xuan and Bai Hao. When Bai Xuan looked over, Bai Xuan said the same thing as Bai Rui.

Bai Hao was thinking about something and didn't notice the look in Bai Xuan's eyes. Bai Xuan looked back and continued chatting with Bai Rui and others.

After chatting for a while, Bai Xuan suddenly heard Bai Hao say: Little sister, I seem to have seen the plant called cotton you mentioned.

When Bai Xuan heard this, he turned to look at Bai Hao and asked: Second brother, where have you seen him?

When did you see that plant bloom?

Bai Rui and others also looked at Bai Hao after hearing this. Bai Hao heard this and replied: I saw it in a valley in the Velvet Flower Forest. I saw it when I went hunting in the Velvet Flower Forest last autumn. I think that plant is very similar to what you just said, little sister.

Bai Xuan: Velvet flower forest?

Where is the Velvet Flower Forest?

Far from the tribe?

Before Bai Hao could say anything, Bai Rui said: Xuan Zai, the Velvet Flower Forest is not too far from the tribe. There is only a river between the Velvet Flower Forest and the Hongguo Forest.

When Bai Xuan heard this, he looked at Bai Rui and asked: Father, what kind of plants and giant beasts are there in the Velvet Flower Forest?

Bai Rui: In the Velvet Flower Forest, there are giant beasts in the mid-earth level, which are more dangerous than the Red Fruit Forest.

There is a kind of tree in the Velvet Flower Forest called the Velvet Flower Tree. The bark of the Velvet Flower Tree can relieve pain and reduce swelling. It is a good medicine. Every year, the wizard will take people to peel the bark of the Velvet Flower Tree in the Velvet Flower Forest.

The more Bai Xuan listened, the more he felt that it seemed to be a kind of traditional Chinese medicine he knew, so Bai Xuan looked at Bai Rui and asked: Father, what do the flowers of the velvet tree look like?

Does it look good?

Bai Rui: It's beautiful. The flowers of the velvet tree are like fans. They have two colors, red on the top and white on the bottom. They are plush.

When Bai Xuan heard this, he was almost certain that the velvet tree should be the Albizia julibrissin tree he knew.

Because the Albizia Julibrissin tree has several names, one of which is called Velvet Flower Tree, and the bark of this Velvet Flower Tree has two functions, and the Albizia Julibrissin tree bark also has these two functions.

Albizia julibrissin bark also has... functions.

The flowers of the Albizia Julibrissin tree have the function of...

So Bai Xuan looked at Bai Rui and asked: Father, can we go to the Velvet Flower Forest to peel off the bark of some Velvet Flower trees?

Bai Rui: You can peel the bark of the velvet tree, but you can’t peel too much, just enough.

Bai Xuan: Father, I know that even if I go to the Velvet Flower Forest, I won’t peel off a lot of Velvet Flower Tree bark. After all, there are other tribesmen who need the bark of the Velvet Flower Tree.

When Bai Xuan said this, he paused. Then Bai Xuan looked at Bai Hao and said: Second brother, next time you go to the Velvet Flower Forest, can you bring back a plant that you said looks like cotton and show it to me?

Bai Hao: Yes, but the tree with flowers like cotton is very big and not easy to bring back. Can I bring you a sapling of that tree?

Bai Xuan was slightly surprised when he heard this and said: That kind of tree with flowers that bloom like cotton, is it a big tree?

Bai Hao nodded when he heard this, and then said: Little sister, the tallest tree I saw with flowers that look like cotton is as tall as the mango tree you planted by the creek.

Bai Xuan heard this and said: That's it! Second brother, just bring me a small sapling.

Bai Hao: Okay, I will dig one up and bring it back to you next time I go to the Velvet Flower Forest.

Bai Xuan: Thank you, second brother, I will prepare delicious food for you tomorrow.

When Bai Xuan said this, he paused. Then Bai Xuan looked at Bai Rui and asked: Father, when you are hunting, will you go to the place where Uncle Hongyang and the others found the bear cub?
