Fruit Beetle

This huge badger indeed had a mouthful of rotten teeth.

Jian Mo dare touch all of his teeth, so she picked out one of his molars.

This molar is half rotten; it has black, decayed areas and tartar buildup.

Jian Mo cleaned with a file for a while, becoming breathless from exhaustion. Then she stepped aside to let Wu Jiong come over. Wu Jiong first cleaned away the tartar, then ground down the decayed areas, and then carefully glued a thin layer of resin onto the teeth with fish glue.

To prevent the resin patches from falling off when He Yi transforms between human and beast forms, Jian Mo specially glued them on piece by piece, only gluing them to the damaged areas, instead of covering the entire area.

Treating He Yi's teeth today was purely a matter of physical strength. Jian Mo and Wu Jiong spent half the morning working on it, and finally managed to repair his rotten tooth.

The people of the Dense Forest Tribe all came to see this tooth.

Seeing how clean and neat the tooth was like never before, several people couldn't resist touching it out of curiosity, but Jian Mo sternly stopped them.

In the afternoon, He Yi regained consciousness, Jian Mo him to quickly transform back into human form to try.

He Yi tried it, grinned, and said, "It seems to work. There's still something stuck to my teeth, but it didn't come off."

Jian Mo him to open his mouth so she could examine his teeth. "Some of them are missing. I'll fix them for you later. How do you feel now?"

He Yi: "My gums are a little sore and painful."

Jian Mo: "This is normal. We've been working on your teeth for so long that they've become a little loose, but it's okay, they'll grow back stronger in a couple of days."

He Yi responded emphatically, his face beaming with smiles.

Jian Mo gently ran a sterilized needle along his filled tooth. "Do you feel anything when I move your tooth like this?"

He Yi: "I know you're touching my teeth."

Jian Mo: "Does it feel sore and painful?"

He Yi her head. "It seems not."

Jian Mo: "The filling should be effective. Try using your teeth again tonight and see how it feels when you eat."

He Yi quickly, then asked expectantly, "Doctor Jian Mo, could you also fill my other teeth?"

Jian Mo: "Tomorrow, let's see how it goes today. If it works well, we'll get the rest of our teeth filled."

When Jian Mo examined He Yi, the people of the Dense Forest Tribe watched the whole process.

As they talked, the people of the Dense Forest Tribe became more and more excited. If He Yi's teeth could be fixed, their teeth would surely be fine too.

That evening, He Yi used the newly filled tooth and said it was very effective. Although she could feel a strange layer of something stuck to her tooth, it no longer hurt when she ate cold, hot, or spicy food.

He insisted that Jian Mo get the rest of his teeth fixed.

Jian Mo him sign the surgical consent form again, and then, with the help of others, she ground down his remaining teeth and filled them.

When a filled tooth is transformed from human to beast form, or from beast to human form, part of it will fall out.

After observing the condition of He Yi's teeth, Jian Mo had no choice but to help him get them fixed a third time, trying her best to ensure that it wouldn't hinder his transformation.

He Yi soon got a row of neat teeth.

The resin-filled tooth was slightly yellow, but it was much better than his black, decayed tooth.

With his filled teeth, he can eat whatever he wants, even large bones.

Jian Mo quickly told him to take it easy and to pay attention to cleaning his teeth.

Following He Yi's successful case, many people from the Dense Forest Tribe rushed to have Jian Mo fill their teeth, and after negotiations, they were offered three metal blocks as payment for each tooth.

Jian Mo readily agreed, for the sake of the metal block.

Orcs need to switch between human and beast forms, and the effect of dental fillings is relatively less effective.

The fillings for the sub-beastmen were much more effective; Jian Mo placed the resin entirely over their decayed teeth, covering them up completely.

They said the fillings worked very well, and they no longer had any signs of tooth sensitivity.

Of course, not everyone in the Dense Forest Tribe dared to come to Jian Mo for dental fillings; only a small percentage of the people had their teeth filled.

Nevertheless, Jian Mo and Wu Jiong worked for several days, doing heavy physical labor in poor working conditions, which exhausted them.

Although the people of the Dense Forest Tribe were ruthless in their acquisition of supplies, they were relatively trustworthy. When it came time to pay, they always paid Jian Mo what they said they would, without any Wu Jiong.

In addition to the metal blocks, the people of the Dense Forest Tribe also prepared a large quantity of dried chili peppers and chili seeds.

Because their teeth had improved considerably, no one felt bad about the chili peppers; instead, they were all beaming with joy.

He Yi was very reluctant to part with Jian Mo: "Doctor Jian Mo, are you going back already?"

Jian Mo said wearily, "Yes, we've been out for too long, it's time to go back."

Shu Tao asked from the side, "Doctor Jian Mo, if we have any problems with our teeth in the future, can we come to the Riverside Tribe to find you?"

He Yi was eager to try. "How about we help you take the stuff back? So much dried fruit, fresh fruit, nuts, stems, metal blocks... I doubt you could carry it all."

Jian Mo: "Not bad, both of our Flying-Winged Beast are quite capable of carrying heavy loads. If your teeth hurt again, just come to the Riverside Tribe to see us. Many people come to us for treatment."

He Yi: "Even if it doesn't hurt, we still want to play with you."

Jian Mo smiled, "That's welcome too."

He Yi: "It's a pity you're busy. It would be great if you could stay longer. We have so many good things here."

Chapter 154 Fruit Beetle

Once the people of the Dense Forest Tribe start talking about good things, they can't stop.

They talked about delicious prey, tasty wild vegetables, and sweet berries—everything sounded incredibly tempting.

Jian Mo suspected they had a talent for storytelling, which was why they described the various ingredients so enticingly.

He Yi said, "Doctor Jian Mo, if you don't believe us, why don't you stay a couple more days? We can take you into the mountains to collect some of our local specialties for you to take back."
