Online: I Can See Health Bars Chapter 1362 - 608: Human-Insect Body (Part 2)

Even as Ding Hui continued to speak, Fang Yu felt a growing sense of dizziness.

Had the discussion been about his own Bloodline Spirit or Demon Body, Fang Yu might have paid closer attention.

However, given the current circumstances, focusing was incredibly difficult for Fang Yu.

Looking down, he noticed that Ding Hui had indeed made numerous attempts. The ground was littered with cracked insect eggs, a semi-transparent white fluid seeping from their broken shells.

"Come in," Ding Hui replied.

The door swung open, revealing that the second batch of materials had arrived.

While some of the medicinal ingredients Ding Hui required were commonplace, others were remarkably rare, even exceedingly peculiar.

For Song Zhenrong to procure these items so swiftly, he clearly possessed significant influence and capability.

He was known as one of the individuals who managed to integrate quite well within Thunder City.

As Fang Yu pondered this, Song Zhenrong entered with the materials, but he couldn't help but avert his gaze, unable to linger in the room. His eyes were visibly glistening, with faint tears shimmering within them.

It truly seemed to be the profound bond of siblings, unable to bear witnessing his sister’s suffering.

Song Zhenrong then exited, speaking from the doorway.

"Divine Doctor Ding, some medicinal ingredients remain elusive. Please bear with me a little longer. I assure you, I will obtain them by sunset!"

Without Awaiting Ding Hui’s response, Song Zhenrong departed.

He was likely preparing to personally seek assistance elsewhere.

Inside the room, Fang Yu inquired with a touch of curiosity, "Are these unconventional medicinal ingredients truly essential?"

Ding Hui regarded him with a peculiar look.

It was unusual for Fang Yu to pose such questions, as he typically refrained from interfering in professional matters.

Pausing his work and tilting his head in thought, Ding Hui explained, "Whether they are absolutely necessary is uncertain. However, having a greater variety of materials with similar properties is naturally beneficial. It allows for more comprehensive testing of drug and toxic reactions. It’s possible that an unconventional ingredient might prove to be the most effective cure. Of course, if Song Zhenrong cannot procure these specific materials, it means forfeiting a potential opportunity for a superior treatment outcome..."

While Ding Hui was still speaking, Song Xi abruptly lost her composure.

"My brother will get them! He absolutely will! He cares about me the most! He’ll find a way!! Divine Doctor Ding, you must cure me! Money is no object! The materials are not a problem! My brother will definitely find a way!!"

Astonishingly, despite her body riddled with wounds, she spoke with a drenched forehead—a true testament to her formidable willpower.

As Fang Yu was reflecting on this, Ding Hui’s voice cut in sternly.

"Silence! Speak less! Your speech accelerates the depletion of bodily fats. You don’t feel much pain currently because your fats are acting as an emergency measure, suppressing your pain signals. Even when injured, you can still exert your maximum combat effectiveness. But this is not a battle; wasting fats means sacrificing your body’s best anesthetic. Once these reserves are depleted, your willpower might falter under the demands of my upcoming treatment."

"Furthermore, the fats within your body are a vital component of the treatment process itself. These fats can interact with the medicinal compounds, which forms the core of my current therapeutic strategy. Therefore, if the fats are completely exhausted, my meticulously prepared treatment plan would become largely ineffective, and at that point, even I might be rendered powerless."

Having undergone a mutation, Song Xi’s greatest dread was the permanent loss of her appearance.

Consequently, upon being threatened by Ding Hui, she immediately became compliant.

In a certain respect, Song Xi could still be considered an obedient patient.

After all, some individuals, even if saved by Ding Hui’s intervention, would shift blame for their disfigurement onto him, a display of ingratitude that was distressingly common, sometimes even more extreme, with recipients focusing solely on resentment rather than acknowledging the life-saving act.

Someone like Song Xi, who refrained from causing trouble and did not accuse Ding Hui of being responsible for her condition or express a desire to harm him, was already a patient worthy of commendation for her virtuous disposition...

Fang Yu observed the repulsive pus and oil with a sense of intrigue.

"This substance, is it truly that significant?" Fang Yu softly murmured.

The material appeared repulsive, yet its effects were unexpectedly potent, akin to a sustained adrenaline surge, perpetually maintaining peak combat readiness.

But in the very next second, Ding Hui’s voice resonated within Fang Yu’s mind.

"Of course, it's important, but not as much as I said. Even if they're drained, I have ways to deal with it. I'm merely trying to scare her into behaving. By the way, find a container and collect this stuff; it's not simple. It has far more effects than what I just mentioned. I'm planning to take it back for some study, perhaps to help halt the demonization from spiraling out of control. Hmm... if only there were volunteers already out of control with demonization, that would be even better..."

Fang Yu: !!!

"You damn thing, you want to take such a gross item back..."

He thought this, but then remembered Ding Hui; she had seen even more repulsive demon materials. From her perspective, she probably viewed Song Xi as more of a humanoid demon.

Silently assisting Ding Hui with the task, Song Zhenrong returned a couple of times. Although he appeared exhausted and busy, he still managed to gather all the materials Ding Hui desired.

But...

Ding Hui requested new materials once more.

This time, they were still demon materials, which gave Song Zhenrong a splitting headache.

However, after a glance at his gradually slimming sister, who was starting to look somewhat human despite being covered in blood but seemingly healthier, he gritted his teeth and ventured out again.

"Why do you want the meat of the Pig Demon? Specifically, the meat from the abdominal section of the Pig Demon; it's quite hard to find," Fang Yu inquired softly.

Ding Hui responded directly within Fang Yu's mind.

"I never said it had to be Pig Demon meat; any pig demon's flesh will suffice, and it doesn't have to be abdominal meat. It's just preferable. As for the use... do you notice the insect eggs I took out? Are they starting to lose vitality?"

Turning his head, Fang Yu observed that Ding Hui had taken out insect eggs, along with flesh – seven to eight large pieces.

They were all sizes and even placed in different storage conditions. Some pieces of meat were submerged in water, some were clamped and slowly roasted over candle flames, some were sealed in bottles with pills emitting coldness, while others were left entirely exposed to the air without any special precautions.

"You want... to let the insect eggs relocate?"

"You figured it out!"

Ding Hui cast an approving glance at Fang Yu before continuing to carefully embed a medicinal pill into Song Xi's considerably swollen abdomen. As soon as the pill was inserted, it began to tremble violently, causing the surrounding insect eggs to resonate. Numerous tiny tentacles emerged, wriggling within the eggs.

"What kind of medicinal pill is this?" Fang Yu asked with curiosity.

"I haven't decided on a name yet. I just extracted the pheromones from the insect eggs, refined the life liquid from the dead insect eggs, and added some drug reactions. Remember the rebel army's insect handler from before? I'm trying to incorporate his technique, since insect eggs are, after all, insects~"

Fang Yu was left speechless; some of Ding Hui's ideas were truly beyond his comprehension.

Furthermore, mastering the information about the insect eggs so quickly and applying it demonstrated that, in terms of medical skill, Ding Hui was indeed a genius among geniuses. Others, in the same timeframe, might merely be able to stare blankly at the insect eggs, let alone formulate any treatment plan.

"The insect eggs on her body are in the early stages and haven't fully developed yet. Those that have burrowed into her body, taken significant root, and are even replacing her organs are the real problem. It's foreseeable that if I don't intervene, this woman's organs throughout her body will soon be replaced by developed Insect Demons. For example, her tongue will no longer be a human tongue but a crawling insect. Her respiratory organs will cease to be human lungs and will instead become a bloated insect belly."

"Think carefully, it'll be interesting and very valuable for research, just a pity..." Ding Hui's eyes were filled with regret, making Fang Yu sense that she wished to preserve the mutated insect eggs, perhaps even desiring to replicate the phenomenon on others...

Picturing all of a person's organs transforming into live insects made Fang Yu's stomach churn. Could such a being still be called a person? An insect-person? A human-insect? A human-insect demon?
