Ji You paused for only a few seconds before picking up the axe and continuing to chop the tree.
Once.
Twice.
Three times.
...
Finally, it broke, and the tree roots fell to the ground with a crash.
Ji You, delighted, stepped forward and pulled out the dagger in her hand, beginning to peel the bark. After cutting through the Iron Pear Wood, peeling it became much easier. She inserted the blade into the crevices of the bark's fiber structure and slowly began to cut...
After the bark and the stump were completely separated, she continued to divide the inner fibers. These fibers were like silk; discarding the debris and trimmings, she could extract a complete thread of silk that would solidify quickly upon exposure to air, becoming extremely tough.
Ten minutes later, Ji You collected about three liang (approximately 50 grams) of silk thread.
She blinked happily and placed it into the basket she carried with her. Then, she looked up to see Grandma Jenny and Lea nearby, working together at a faster pace, having already collected two trees.
Noticing Ji You's gaze, Lea turned her head and smiled at her: "You, you've finished one tree? Not bad."
