Online: I Can See Health Bars Chapter 1289 - 573: The Wolf with a Tail

Seeing that Fang Yu was struggling to comprehend, Ding Hui grew nearly frantic with anxiety.

She stomped her foot and rushed to explain, "It's the Golden Feathered Demon! Are you already forgetting? Its feathers are the [Golden Feather], which I theorized could most likely react with the [Supreme Golden Petal Flower]! With it, you could allow the golden bone within your body to proliferate, covering a larger area of bone and even improving the golden bone's hardness!

This explanation sparked Fang Yu's memory.

After Ding Hui had consumed the [Supreme Golden Petal Flower], she had proposed several hypotheses, making it clear that the acquisition of certain special materials could significantly increase the chances of proliferating and strengthening the fingernail-sized golden bone.

At that time, Ding Hui had provided a lengthy explanation of the principles involved, though Fang Yu had found it utterly incomprehensible. Nevertheless, he had grasped the general concept, which essentially boiled down to the difference between zero and one.

In essence, it was about expansion and fortification built upon an existing [Supreme Golden Petal Flower] constitution, even without the original materials. Other substances could still be utilized for experimentation and trials to enhance the golden bone's existing strength.

However, without the [Supreme Golden Petal Flower] and the resultant transformed constitution, it would be akin to creating something from absolute nothingness. Even someone as powerful as Ding Hui couldn't fabricate a similar constitution from scratch or conceptualize demonic materials that would influence a constitution transformed by the [Supreme Golden Petal Flower].

Ultimately, what Ding Hui intended was, in a way, akin to scientific research, requiring a tangible foundation upon which to build.

Regarding the [Golden Feather], Ding Hui had mentioned it as a special demonic material capable of directly amplifying the effects of the golden bone derived from the [Supreme Golden Petal Flower].

But... how long ago was that?

This was discussed long before any significant events transpired in Tianyuan Town; Ding Hui had merely mentioned this material alongside others with potential enhancing properties in passing.

The fact that Fang Yu could recall it now was truly remarkable.

Back then, when Ding Hui listed these rare materials, Fang Yu felt as though he was listening to a foreign language, completely unable to absorb the information.

For Fang Yu, that entire exchange felt like casual chatter, devoid of any memorable substance. Had it not been for the implications regarding the strength of his golden bones, he wouldn't have bothered to retain any of it...

Yet, while Fang Yu might have been slow to recall, Ding Hui possessed an intimate knowledge of these materials, even knowing which demons harbored them.

However, encountering demons was largely a matter of sheer luck, as they were typically solitary beings. Lacking any discernible intelligence, their whereabouts were unknown, making the search for such materials an opportunistic endeavor rather than a deliberate pursuit.

Now that a demon possessing the desired material had unexpectedly appeared, Ding Hui was naturally unwilling to let the opportunity slip away.

"So, your intention is... for me to go and retrieve that demon?"

Fang Yu remained bewildered, while Ding Hui's anxiety escalated.

"Whether it's alive or dead matters not! Just pluck the [Golden Feather] for me! Strip it bare, leave nothing behind! Then bring it to me. It would take too long to explain which parts are usable, so just bring everything!"

That sounded straightforward enough.

It was merely a matter of plucking feathers!

Although he hadn't often handled demonic materials directly, he had observed Ding Hui closely, so he had some grasp of the basic techniques.

The main concern was simply to avoid damaging the feathers during the plucking process.

But...

"If I leave, what about you?"

Ding Hui shot him a glare. "What could possibly happen to me! I've already set up traps within the room..."

Before Ding Hui could finish, swift footsteps echoed from a distance.

It was the imposter leader of the Forest Snake Gang, accompanied by Hall Master [Xiong Rudong] with four thousand blood essence, rapidly approaching the pair.

"Mr. Diao, Mr. Diao! What is happening here?"

Fang Yu cast a glance at Ding Hui, who was practically beside herself with agitation.

It was evident that in the face of such a rare demonic material, Ding Hui struggled to maintain her composure.

After a brief pause, Fang Yu responded.

"A demon has infiltrated the gang; it's a minor issue. I will handle it. However, Gang Leader, I'll have to ask you to look after my wife."

A d-d-d-demon?

A demon had somehow infiltrated the Forest Snake Gang, and this was being dismissed as a minor issue??

The fake Gang Leader stood dumbfounded by this revelation, unable to process anything further.

Nevertheless, as Ding Hui urgently twisted the flesh on Fang Yu's arm with her fingers, Fang Yu sighed and leaped from the ground, landing on the roof.

With just a few exchanged words, the demons hadn't managed to get far, having barely exited the perimeter of the Forest Snake Gang's territory.

"I will return shortly, Ding Hui. Please remain inside." Ding Hui’s head bobbed vigorously, agreeing that as long as the demon materials were available, everything would be manageable. But the moment Fang Yu moved, disappearing from view, she immediately beckoned the imposter Gang Leader over. "Assist in moving that demon corpse indoors," she commanded. "Huh?" The imposter Gang Leader appeared bewildered and glanced at the nearby, headless demon corpse, swallowing nervously. He had rushed over with his men upon hearing the disturbance, only to discover that by the time they arrived, the demon had already been slain. As he suspected, Mr. Diao was significantly more powerful than their Four Great Hall Masters! With him present, if that individual dared to appear, Mr. Diao would undoubtedly eliminate him, paving the way for the Forest Snake Gang to be seamlessly brought under his command! These thoughts racing through his mind, the fake Gang Leader quickly followed Ding Hui’s directive and proceeded to drag the demon's carcass. Yet, the imposter Gang Leader could not fathom why a demon would venture to the Forest Snake Gang’s territory. Such an occurrence was unprecedented. Could it be... that individual had acted covertly?
