The dog, which had been quite unruly when it was tied up, baring its teeth and looking fierce, calmed down after the Restoration Technique entered its body. Healing spells inherently have an anesthetic effect; otherwise, the treatment would inevitably cause pain.
The anesthesia took effect very quickly; in less than a breath, the dog lay down. It worked so fast that the dog didn't even have time to find a comfortable position before collapsing to the ground, its eyes involuntarily closing.
Seeing how quickly the anesthesia worked during the Restoration Technique, Li Xingkong couldn't help but think:
Thankfully, I didn't use it on someone right away, otherwise, if someone had been knocked unconscious, that would have been a real problem.
After observing the dog's condition briefly, Li Xingkong confirmed that it was indeed asleep and there were no other problems. Only after repeatedly confirming that everything was correct did he begin to activate the Restoration Technique.
The Restoration Technique began to work, starting with the dog's head.
It first extracted a significant number of relatively healthy cells from the dog's head and communicated with them, inquiring about any foreign viruses in that area. Cells within an organism are interconnected, and if viruses or bacteria invade, they will definitely be detected by the immune system.
After a brief exchange, Li Xingkong learned about the dog's condition: it had a parasite in its brain, which was more serious than a virus.
The structure controlling the Restoration Technique shifted towards the location of the parasites transmitted by the cells, and soon Li Xingkong saw a very counter-elemental scene through his Spiritual Qi.
From Spiritual Qi perspective, the brain is like an underwater world with many layers of membranes separating it, with the entire brain tissue submerged in a protective fluid, much like an underwater palace, which looks quite dreamlike. But the dog's situation is different now.
Insects, insects everywhere! The dog's brain tissue was covered with insects of all sizes, densely packed throughout, like tentacles of varying lengths, rooted in the brain tissue, waving outwards. They were constantly swallowing and spitting out, devouring the original matter and growing stronger.
This scene disgusted Li Xingkong; it was far more horrifying than anything he had ever witnessed.
He only knew that free-roaming dogs were prone to parasites, but he had only heard of them and had never seen them in person, so he naturally thought they were just a disease.
But seeing it with his own eyes, Li Xingkong naturally felt somewhat uncomfortable.
Insects are indeed the most annoying things.
There's nothing more to say. Since I've already seen them, they have no reason to exist.
The Restoration Technique spell shone brightly and began to work its magic. The seemingly harmless green light revealed its power when it swept over the insects.
There was no battle as expected, not even a direct confrontation. Under the green light, all the insects in sight seemed to melt away, vanishing completely.
Just like a blackboard eraser, wherever the Restoration Technique touched, the messy, parasitic tissues were all revealed in their original state, and the killed insects were decomposed into nutrients that could be directly absorbed. These nutrients would become the raw materials for repairing the original tissues and fixing the damage.
These insects were indeed hideous and didn't look like they were easy to mess with. If Li Xingkong saw such things in the real world, he would definitely take a detour.
However, in this microscopic realm, his power can be described as a dimensional reduction attack. No matter how terrifying the insects are, no matter how numerous they are, they cannot escape the attack of the Restoration Technique.
It's more like a neutron-based kill bomb with friend-or-foe identification capabilities; it's powerful, effective only against enemies, and incredibly efficient at eliminating them.
What seemed like a long time had actually only taken a few seconds. Li Xingkong used the Restoration Technique to completely kill all the parasites in the dog's brain. But thinking about it, it made sense; how could magic be so inconvenient!
As for the original damage to the dog's brain, it will have to recover on its own. Although the worms have been completely eliminated, the damage they caused is still there. Although the Restoration Technique has repaired the damaged areas, it will naturally take time to heal completely to restore it to its original state.
Although the dog had fallen into a deep sleep, it seemed much more relaxed after all the parasites were eliminated, and its sleep was more natural. While the dog didn't cry out in pain, the discomfort it endured was unimaginable.
After eliminating some of the lesions on the dog, the Restoration Technique began to extend to other parts of the dog's body.
The ability to kill parasites has already proven the power of the Restoration Technique, so Li Xingkong's experimental spellcasting could have ended. But since he'd already cast the spell on the dog, he might as well finish the job; what kind of person would only treat the illness halfway through?
Furthermore, Li Xingkong wanted to see how it would handle illnesses caused by other factors.
A stray dog can have more than one disease, and Li Xingkong quickly found another virus, which is the very common rabies.
Rabies is a very common virus. If you are scratched by a cat or dog in daily life, you should get vaccinated immediately. Moreover, the incubation period of this disease can be as long as 30 years, making it a top-notch spy.
This virus generally only multiplies and spreads within the nervous system, so it was easy for Li Xingkong to deal with; he simply followed the nervous system.
The treatment of viruses is different from that of parasites. Compared to parasites, viruses are much smaller, and parasites are, after all, living organisms, while whether viruses can be considered living organisms is still up for debate.
For such things, the Restoration Technique will directly capture them, gather them all in one place, and then destroy them all at once.
Compared to the all-encompassing power it displayed when dealing with parasites, the current Restoration Technique is like a fishing boat catching fish in the sea, only its net is so large that not a single fish will escape.
The virus traveled along the nervous system and found all the viruses in the dog's body. Then, the Restoration Technique flashed green again, and all the viruses turned into a puddle.
Simple and efficient, that's magic.
Sometimes Li Xingkong wondered if there really were advanced technological civilizations, would their wars be like this, with no soldiers fighting soldiers and generals fighting generals, and no warships flying across the sky, shooting at each other across star systems?
It's possible that one day you'll wake up and inexplicably find yourself disintegrating into a pile of particles. Before you know it, your brain will be trying to figure out what's going on, and you'll be gone.
Maybe it was some purple-haired bald guy who snapped his fingers.
