Otherworld Bone Dragon Operation Guide

Chapter 77 First Kill
After devouring several pigs, the sea monster became increasingly excited. Its tentacles tightened around the ship used as bait, and some even crawled into the cabin through the gaps, frantically searching for food.

"Phase Three!"

Violet quickly moved away from the decoy ship, reaching out to release a runic ripple.

Inside the ship's hold, bundles of alchemical explosives had already been placed. The moment the rune was triggered, all the detonators installed on them were activated.

The next moment, the sea surface suddenly caved in, forming a huge crater. A ring-shaped shock wave swept around, followed by a deafening explosion.

A small mushroom cloud slowly rose from the sea.

Once everything had calmed down, the girl turned around and looked back—

The decoy boat had vanished without a trace, leaving only tattered planks floating on the sea. The severed tentacles of the sea monster, tossed high into the air and faded to grayish-white, began to fall, splashing water everywhere.

The violet flew back and found the dark shadow gradually shrinking and slowly sinking into the dark seawater.

"The target has been lowered," she reported.

Su Ming had already turned the white triangle around and was speeding towards them. Due to the distance, the sonar was currently in the sound shadow zone and had temporarily lost the ability to acquire the target signal.

Half a minute later, Su Ming and Xiwo heard the explosion coming through the seawater.

“Xiao Jin, collect tentacle samples,” Siwo said.

"Already doing it."

Violet used magic to freeze the seawater into floating ice, wrapping the tentacle fragments and preventing them from sinking into the deep sea.

It took the White Triangle over an hour to reach the explosion site. However, active sonar found the target again ten kilometers away.

After the sea monster was bombed, it sank at a slow pace. During the time the White Triangle arrived, it only sank about two kilometers. According to the data, it remained on the vertical line in its original position, showing no signs of movement.

"The target's main structure is intact." Su Ming checked the sonar feedback.

Siwo listened intently for a moment, "There was no sound of movement, so it's impossible to determine whether it's a coma or death."

"If he's unconscious, there should be breathing sounds, right?" Su Ming asked.

"We cannot rule out the possibility that the sound was too faint to be heard."

Siwo continued listening, while Su Ming quickly walked to the deck, just in time to see Zi Jin using levitation to transport a ten-meter-long tentacle fragment onto the ship. As soon as she finished moving it, she swayed, and Su Ming quickly went forward to support her.

He then noticed that Zijin's face was pale. "Why didn't you say you were injured!"

"It didn't hurt at first, so I thought it was nothing." The girl clutched her left rib, her brow furrowed slightly. "Now it suddenly hurts... but the blow wasn't too severe, so it shouldn't be a big problem."

Su Ming didn't say anything more and simply picked her up.

"Siwo!" he shouted, carrying Zijin into the workshop and quickly setting up a bone bed for her to lie down on.

The elves rushed over upon hearing the noise and immediately used their detection spells upon seeing the situation.

"A ruptured spleen." Siwo quickly diagnosed the injury, "Not minor, but not too serious either."

"What should we do?" Su Ming asked.

“Stopping the bleeding in time will suffice,” Sivor pondered. “Water magic has limited effect on internal organs. I’ll have the Alliance send a light-elemental healer; if they’re riding a dragonhawk, it’ll probably take—”

Violet raised her hand to interrupt him, "I know healing magic, and we can't let outsiders board the ship now." "Internal injuries are best treated by a professional healer," Siwo insisted. "We'll find another way to ensure safety; your body can't be risked."

“No need,” Su Ming suddenly said. “I have a way to stop the bleeding; I don’t need a therapist.”

This side of the earth.

It was daytime in the United States, and out of caution, Miao Xin did not take a ride-sharing service, but instead found a secluded place to hide.

Su Ming connected with the little troublemaker and discovered that Miss Ghost had already prepared a jacket and a motorcycle helmet for him to wear so that it would be easier for him to hitch a ride on the car.

The phone search showed that the nearest pharmacy was not far away, and Su Ming controlled the little troublemaker to leave the hiding place.

Upon entering the pharmacy, he wrote a note in English: "Needs injection to stop internal bleeding."

The pharmacist took the slip of paper, frowned, and said, "This requires a doctor's prescription. Please show me your social security card or driver's license, and I'll check it for you."

The troublemaker suddenly pulled out a pistol and flashed another note: "Stop talking nonsense! Give me the medicine!"

A security guard appeared when he saw the commotion, and Su Ming immediately turned his gun on him. The guard quickly hid behind the counter.

Su Ming immediately had Miao Xin merge with the little prickly boy to gain spiritual energy enhancement.

In terms of American-style iaido, he was no match for the locals; he could only rely on Miao Xin to numerically overwhelm them. Miss Ghost's physical skills and manipulation abilities were also far superior to Su Ming's.

Miao Xin sent a message: "Master, I don't know how to use a gun."

Miao Xin's sense of autonomy is growing stronger, and she can now communicate with Su Ming, but she still can't shake the habit of calling him "master."

"No need to fire. If someone attacks, just dodge and retreat," Su Ming replied. Having survived the hail of bullets at the Everett Naval Base, this small incident wouldn't be enough to cause a disaster.

【clear! 】

"Calm down! Give him the medicine!" shouted a man who looked like a manager.

Soon, the hemostatic injection was bagged and placed on the counter. Miao Xin grabbed the bag, drew her gun, left the pharmacy, and disappeared around the street corner.

The people in the pharmacy breathed a sigh of relief, and no one chased after them.

It was another peaceful day.

****
This area was near a homeless neighborhood, filled with tents and homeless people. Miao Xin quickly found a new hiding place. After dissolving the fusion, Su Ming controlled the little troublemaker to check the bag—besides the hemostatic injection, the pharmacist had also stuffed in several large bottles of strong painkillers. However, Violet's condition wasn't at that point, so he directly summoned the hemostatic agent to the other world.

In the workshop, Zijin's face was still somewhat pale, and fine beads of sweat appeared on her forehead.

"It's my fault, I didn't take the sound wave delay into account." Su Ming said to himself while giving the injection, "I should have studied sonar more carefully."

“I also bear responsibility. I didn’t give myself a strong shield when we were about to fight,” Violet said softly. “The recent calm made me complacent.”

"Isn't Siwo aware that you can't receive light-based healing spells?" Su Ming asked, somewhat puzzled. The elf had just suggested finding a light-based healer, which would have even more serious consequences for the scholar. "Weren't you frail and sickly when you were a child?"

“When I was little, Siwo often used simple light magic to heal me. I wasn’t like this back then,” Violet explained. “My transformation happened later, and I didn’t tell him that.”

"I see." Su Ming nodded.

He got up and tucked the blanket around Zijin. "I'm used to you beating me up, so I always thought you were invincible. Now I realize that you also need someone to take care of you."

“You’ve taken such good care of me.” A smile appeared on Violet’s pale face. “Although I’m injured, I’ve never felt this healthy before, Dr. Su Ming.”
