Rebirth: Living in Wilderness with My Superpower-Chapter 975: Leviathan Skin Revisited

Big Beard then realized this wasn’t his turf, and the local people here are particular about not touching others, especially the opposite sex. Random touches could lead to litigation.

Sheepishly withdrawing his hand, he stood up uncomfortably, "Don’t misunderstand, I just couldn’t contain my excitement at seeing something familiar from our ancestors."

Their interaction drew the attention of the people around them, with many glancing over repeatedly.

There were indeed guards in North-South City, and because it was close to North-South Bridge, their numbers were not fewer than those in the residential areas.

Big Beard glanced around and cheerfully said, "It’s too noisy and crowded here to talk. If you don’t mind, let’s continue our conversation in my shop."

The two were eager for information and followed Big Beard into his shop.

Big Beard’s shop was filled with exotic fabrics and blankets from Foreign Lands. However, probably due to different aesthetic tastes, his merchandise was stacked high but the shop was devoid of customers. Big Beard, however, did not seem to mind at all, his small eyes continually glancing at Bai Junjun’s feet.

Although Bai Junjun had changed into Fei Hua’s clothes, she retained her own shoes. She thought her little pink leather boots wouldn’t attract attention, but to her surprise, they caught Big Beard’s eye in an instant.

Moreover, judging by his expression, he seemed to recognize the origin of the Leviathan Skin.

Involuntarily, she lifted her foot, "Do you recognize this material?"

Big Beard nodded excitedly, "Where we come from, this type of fish skin is abundant. We call it whale, but you probably refer to it as Leviathan."

Li Wenli raised an eyebrow, "Do you sell Leviathan Skin here, then?"

Big Beard nodded, "Yes, we do have Leviathan Skin, but there are different grades. The kind on your feet is of the highest quality, only available a thousand years ago. Now, there are no more mutant whales."

The two didn’t understand what he meant by mutant whales.

Big Beard explained, "The skin of mutant whales can expand and contract according to the wearer’s body temperature. Regular whale skins can’t do that."

Both of them finally understood. No wonder when they first obtained these clothes, they could adapt to their body shape and size. So that was the reason!

A hint of regret flashed in Li Wenli’s eyes. His Leviathan Skin had been destroyed at the Witch Ancestor Mountain Worm Pool, which always left him feeling pained whenever he spoke of it.

Seeing Li Wenli’s look of disappointment, Big Beard reassured him with a smile, "Although we don’t have mutant whales anymore, regular Leviathan Skins are also more durable than ordinary skins, and we’ve made improvements in other areas too. If you’re interested, you two can take a look."

"!" Of course, they were interested.

Without a second thought, they followed Big Beard to his storage room, but they were a little stunned to see the Leviathan Skin.

The Leviathan Skin they had seen in the past was misty grey. It had turned into bright crimson pink after staining with blood in a battle with a Man-eating Eagle, unable to be washed clean.

Now, the Leviathan Skins they saw came in white, pink, purple, blue, even with patterns.

Their flashy appearance was quite similar to the displayed fabrics outside.

Big Beard chuckled with pride, "Although it’s not as good as it was a thousand years ago, we’ve put a lot of effort into dyeing, which I suppose is a way to enhance its properties."

"..." Bai Junjun and Li Wenli were speechless.

Is this the legendary case of making up for lack of substance with good looks?

But all this flashiness...

Li Wenli was slightly disdainful, not wishing to wear something so gaudy.

However, this was Leviathan Skin...

In the end, they decided to buy them anyway. After all, there were lots of kids at home, so they could outfit each one of them with a set!
