I ride a big black tiger and fly through the world of beasts

Chapter 168 Baimu Discovers Dye

No wonder Langs and other orcs were stunned. The females of the Spider Tribe are really different from those of other tribes.

They were not wearing animal skins, but long green leaves that covered their upper to lower bodies. On the green leaves was a spider web with colorful feathers inserted. In addition to their bodies, their golden hair was also covered with spider webs and feathers. There were circles of color on their exposed arms and calves, and even on their cheeks there were a few lines of color.

This is... quite fancy and oddly pretty.

Quebai and Queshan were stunned. The two orcs looked at each other. Quebai couldn't help but whispered: "I feel that these females are more like peacocks than we are."

Zhu Ge couldn't help laughing: "If you don't know, you might think it's from the peacock tribe."

Zhu Li quickly crawled to the front and turned into a human form and said, "Deputy Minister Lang Si, Chief Zhu Ge, Chief Dog Ri, we are here. We also brought a lot of supplies."

Beside him, Zhushan also transformed into a human form.

Langs came back to his senses from his shock: "Chief Zhuli, Elder Zhushan, will you two lead the team?" His eyes swept over the things on the spider orc's back. They were bags woven with spider webs and wrapped in large leaves, so he couldn't see what was inside.

Zhu Li smiled and said, "Yes, Zhu Shan and I, two old spiders, haven't left the forest for too long. It's time to go out and have a good look. You have seen my male cub Zhu Liang. On his back is my little female Zhu Li, who will reach adulthood in another winter. The spider beastman over there is carrying my big female Zhu Hong and her mates on his back. The other three females are Zhu Li's playmates, and they are not yet adults."

When Zhu Li was introduced, the spiders lifted their feet in a friendly manner. Several female spiders smiled at Wolf and the others, revealing their beautiful white teeth.

Lang Si's heart beat violently and uncontrollably for a few times. These females were so pretty, especially the little female named Zhu Li, who had a very sweet smile.

Feeling that his heartbeat was a little abnormal, Langs raised his hand and touched his heart in disbelief. There were so many beautiful females in Yaocheng. Even when he saw Lelan for the first time, he was just stunned, but he didn't have this kind of abnormal heartbeat. It was too strange.

Seeing that Lang Si did not respond, Zhu Ge interrupted: "Chief Zhu Li, with so many spider orcs, do you have enough orcs left behind in your tribe?"

Zhu Li nodded: "That's enough. I only brought a small number of orcs with me. Most of the orcs stayed in the forest to take care of the females and cubs."

Zhu Ge was secretly shocked. No wonder Zhu Li said before that there were countless orcs and females in their tribe. He looked at the forests in the distance. Could it be that those forests were the residences of the Spider Tribe? That would be scary.

Although he was surprised, Zhu Ge said calmly, "Chief Zhu Li, you have never been to Yaocheng and don't know the route. It's better for you to follow us."

Zhu Li turned around and said, "Zhu Liang, you lead the tribesmen to walk behind, and the two of us will walk together with Chief Zhu Ge and the others."

Zhu Liang got on his back, and Zhu Li immediately said, "Dad, I want to sit on your back."

"Okay." Zhu Li said in a doting tone, turned into a big spider, raised his two legs and put them on Zhu Liang's back. Zhu Li immediately stood up, followed Zhu Li's legs to her father's back and sat down.

"Awooo..." Wolf announced the team's departure.

The orcs sprang into action.

Quebai and Queshan immediately turned into giant peacocks and flew into the sky, with several animal skin bags hanging on their bodies.

Zhu Li looked up at the sky, her eyes brightening up: "Dad, the feathers on the peacock beastman are more beautiful than those of the birds."

Zhu Li was embarrassed and said earnestly: "Li, don't let your imagination run wild. The feathers of peacock beastmen cannot be given to females casually. If you like them, Dad will find you more bird feathers in the future."

Zhu Li shook her head: "No need, Dad. I already have a lot of beautiful feathers." Her eyes fell on the wolf in front of her. The leading big white wolf was so majestic, and its white fur looked so beautiful and nice to touch.

She looked at the team in front of her with sparkling eyes. There were so many beautiful and tall orcs. Their hair was so beautiful, unlike the orcs of the spider clan, who had very little hair and the color was not pretty at all.

A long team quickly moved away, through the forest and across the grassland.

When they passed through a canyon, several orcs hiding in the crevices of the canyon leaned out and started talking in surprise.

"Why are there so many spider beastmen?"

"Aren't spider beastmen always mysterious? Why are they running behind a group of carnivorous beasts?"

"Should we go and take a look?"

"Go, we must go and see, there must be something strange."

Then, five sparrows flew out from the crevice of the canyon and followed the team from a distance.

In the evening, in the open space outside the tent of Yaocheng Textile Factory, two large stone pots were set up there, and many people gathered around the stone pots.

The flame under the stone pot was not big, just the power of a piece of dry firewood, and the temperature of the water in the stone pot was not high either.

Chen Shiyue stood beside the stone pot and gave orders. Baimu and Lelan each held a wooden spoon and turned the clothes in the pot from time to time.

The water in Baimu's pot was red, and he was cooking animal skins; the water in Lelan's pot was purple, and he was cooking sweaters.

These are two kinds of dyeing plants that Baimu found after leading the orcs out for a few days. One of them was named red-stem grass by Chen Shiyue. It looks ordinary, with a white stem skin. Who would have thought that there is something hidden inside, when the skin is torn open, there is red tissue inside.

Another type of grass, named Purple Fruit Grass by Chen Shiyue, is even rarer. A grass plant produces only a few fruits, which are the size of a thumb and are filled with purple juice. If the fruit is not ripe, it cannot be harvested.

For both dyes, the red-stem grass must be squeezed to extract the juice, while the purple-fruit grass only needs to be peeled.

Fearing that the clothes could not withstand high temperatures, Chen Shiyue controlled the water temperature at about 60 degrees by using fire. She would occasionally stick out half of her finger to test the water temperature. That half of her finger was purple-red.

The females watched with interest.

"Amu, this dress can definitely be dyed successfully. We can wear clothes in more colors in the future." Zhi happily hooked Ya's arm.

Since Yi Tian brought her to Ya, Zhi usually follows Ya to study.

Ya nodded peacefully, "Yes, you young females can dress up better now."

Zhi smiled and said, "Ya'am is fine too. The more you dress up, the younger you look."

Ya shook her head: "I'm old, and no matter how much I dress up, I can't go back to my youth."

Chen Shiyue saw that the three sweaters in Lelan's pot had completely changed color, so she said, "Lelan, take out a sweater and hang it up first."

When Lelan heard this, he reached out and picked up a sweater and hung it on the clothesline next to him without saying a word.

"Lelan, your hands are stained too." A female reminded with a smile.

Lelan looked down at her hand, and it had really turned purple. She smiled and didn't care.

Chen Shiyue said, "Wash it in clean water. It doesn't matter if it can't be washed off. It will fade slowly after a few days."

The lack of detergents is a big pity in life, so it seems we have to find a way to make soap.

Before dark, all the animal skin clothes were taken out of the pot and hung on the clothesline. Seeing that everyone was still eager to enjoy the meal, Chen Shiyue couldn't help but smile.

"No need to look at it. Leave it overnight to dry before you know what color it will turn into."

After hearing what the city lord's wife said, everyone gradually dispersed.

The next morning, a lot of people gathered in the square in front of the garment factory, including female orcs.

Everyone was amazed, it was so magical.

"City Lord, the City Lord's wife is here." A female exclaimed.

Everyone turned around and saw the city lord slowly descending from the sky holding his partner and flapping his black wings behind him.

Chen Shiyue greeted everyone: "Good morning, fellow tribesmen."

Baimu smiled and said, "Shiyue, is this successful?"

Chen Shiyue smiled and said, "It's a success. Not bad, it looks good. Baimu, you can mix red and purple and dye it again."

Baimu nodded: "Okay, I will do more experiments."

Chen Shiyue looked at the three sweaters and three animal skins. Because they were cooked for different times, the colors were different. The concentration and time of the dye can control the color of the clothes.

She said to Baimu: "Put these clothes in clean water and wash them before drying them in the sun, this way the color won't fade."

Chen Shiyue didn't want to worry about the follow-up matters and believed that Baimu and the others could handle it.

She looked up at Yiyun and said, "Ayun, let's go to the trading center to see if there is anything we need to replenish. Yinfeng has been away for a few days, and maybe other tribes will come to trade with us next time."

Yiyun's eyebrows were gentle and he nodded: "Okay."

He picked up his partner, slowly opened and closed his wings behind him, and flew away low.

The clansmen behind him couldn't help but watch the city lord and his wife leave, with respect and envy in their eyes.
