"So what Chief Xuan wants is this kind of spider silk clothing."
Hong Zhu suddenly understood, then decisively refused, "Sorry, but our tribe never trades this kind of spider silk clothing."
"Why not?"
Jiang Xuan was baffled. Since the Spider Tribe produces spider silk clothing, why do they only trade plain-colored ones?
"Because the patterned spider silk robes are far too precious—even in the Spider Tribe, only the shaman, the chief, and the various leaders can wear them."
Unlike ordinary spider silk clothing, the multicolored ones with patterns are incredibly complicated to make. The spiders that can produce colored silk are very rare—even for a tribe with spiders everywhere, they might not make a single colored silk robe in a whole year.
Because of this, colored spider silk clothing has become a symbol of status and identity in the Spider Tribe—only people ranked leader or above can wear them.
