Jian Mo wasn't sure if this moss was actually from the Mengshui Tribe, or how effective it would be. Seeing that they had collected enough, she said, "Let's stop here for today. We'll come back to collect more next time we need it."

Ye Luo said, "If we're not in a hurry, let's catch some more fish to take back. There's a kind of translucent fish in this pool that's very plump and not fishy at all. It sizzles and oozes oil when fried, and it's especially delicious when mixed with stems."

When it comes to delicious food, Jian Mo is completely captivated and readily accepted the suggestion.

The water was a bit deep, making it difficult to catch fish with bare hands.

However, this was no challenge for Wu Jiong orc, and Ye Luo sub-orc who could extend sharp claws.

Ye Luo is a sub-beastman similar to a clouded leopard, with extremely fast reflexes, making catching fish almost effortless.

Jian Mo watched as he caught fish with each claw, almost never missing a single one, and began to understand why he was often able to go out into the wild alone.

With this level of combat power, even if he's just a sub-orc, the forest shouldn't pose much of a danger to him.

There were so many wonderful things in Thunder God Mountain. They stayed there for a day, and when they returned in the evening, all their baskets were full.

The Ye Luo didn't take the moss, only the small fish and wild vegetables.

Jian Mo was extremely grateful to him and insisted on taking him back to Wu Jiong's house for dinner.

The pan-fried small fish were indeed delicious, fresh and tender. They were great eaten on their own, and even better with a touch of pepper and salt powder.

After the meal, Jian Mo discussed with Wu Jiong, "I don't know if the moss we picked is poisonous or harmful to our health. I'd like to try it on the little Pack-Pack Beast."

Their Pack-Pack Beast had given birth to six cubs, two males and four females, all of whom were already weaned. Jian Mo felt that using them for animal experiments wouldn't be a big problem.

Since they are all beasts, they should offer some reference value.

Wu Jiong: "What do you need me to do?"

Jian Mo thought for a moment and said, "You can observe with me. There might be things I miss. After we feed the Pack-Pack Beast, we can discuss our observations together."

Wu Jiong nodded in agreement.

Jian Mo picked out a male and a female Pack-Pack Beast, shaved the hair off their foreheads to mark them, and then fed them moss under the same conditions.

The Ye Luo, along with the collected moss, could indeed serve as an anesthetic.

After the two Pack-Pack Beast finish eating, they will probably sleep for a day and a night.

After feeding them fresh moss and letting them rest for two days, Jian Mo fed them dried moss instead.

This time, they were fed dried moss provided by the Mengshui Tribe and moss that they had dried themselves.

Based on their observations, Jian Mo found that dried moss was more effective than fresh moss, while the moss they collected was not significantly different from the moss provided by the Mengshui Tribe.

However, the two types of dried moss tasted quite different, Jian Mo to speculate that the moss from the Mengshui Tribe had been soaked in a different liquid.

The Mengshui Tribe may have deliberately treated the moss to prevent them from identifying its species, but they never expected to encounter the knowledgeable and meticulous Ye Luo.

After Jian Mo figured it out, she couldn't help but sigh, "Some opportunities are just unavoidable."

Jian Mo tried it several times, and each time the two Pack-Pack Beast woke up in time.

He observed their growth and found that they were not much different from their litter of Pack-Pack Beast.

Since moss does not have a significant impact on young animals, it indicates that they are relatively safe. As long as they are not used frequently, there should not be any major problems.

After confirming that everything was alright, Jian Mo asked the people in the tribe to spread the word that if anyone got a serious wound, they could come to him for treatment.

Now that we have anesthetics, treatment can be more convenient.

If someone has a huge abscess on their back like the little Tai Yan, they can come to him for surgery.

Since it's still in the experimental stage, the fee can be lower.

Jian Mo preferred to treat people from other tribes first. Unexpectedly, on the very first day the news was released, an old orc from one of the tribes brought Hong Qiu, who had previously received cupping therapy from Jian Mo, over, saying he wanted his teeth treated.

Jian Mo was surprised. "To get dental treatment?"

The old orc Jiang Tou said, "Yes, I've had this toothache for years. It hurts every few days, and I don't even dare to eat with this half of my mouth."

Hong Qiu chimed in, "Jiang Tou wanted to come to you before, but he heard that getting a tooth pulled was extremely painful, so he didn't dare to. Now that there's anesthesia, the tooth extraction won't hurt, right?"

Jiang Tou looked at Jian Mo with hopeful eyes. "Does it hurt?"

This was the first time Jian Mo had encountered an orc who immediately demanded to have a tooth pulled, so she cautiously said, "Let me check the situation first."

Jiang Tou: "So I'll transform into a beast to show you, right?"

As Jiang Tou spoke, he turned around and transformed back into his beast form without hesitation.

He was also a feline beastman, looking like a giant lion, only with gray and longer fur.

As soon as he transformed back into his beast form, Jiang Tou lay down, opened his mouth, and mumbled, "It's this damned tooth that's been tormenting me for over a decade. It's made my face uneven!"

Jian Mo carefully observed the large lion in front of her and found that one side of its face was indeed particularly well-developed, while the other side was somewhat atrophied, making it look rather unattractive.

Upon seeing his mouth, Jian Mo immediately noticed a rotten tooth, as well as other ulcers inside.

This situation--

It looks so much like stomatitis.

However, it's uncertain, as testing cannot be performed here.

I suspect it might be a food issue, or it could be a virus. In any case, the rotten tooth needs to be extracted.

After examining her, Jian Mo asked, "Do you like to eat meat? You don't really like eating stems, wild vegetables, berries, or the like?"

Jiang Tou said in a muffled voice, "I'm single, and I can never finish all the meat I get."

Jian Mo looked down at him and sighed softly, "If you can't finish the meat, you need to eat something else, otherwise it won't be healthy. Wait a moment, I'll get some salt water to rinse it for you and check where it hurts."

After Jian Mo finished speaking, he turned to find the salt water, Wu Jiong had already handed it to him.

To ensure safety, Wu Jiong would always be there to assist Jian Mo during his treatments.
