Otherworld Bone Dragon Operation Guide

Chapter 335 Dragons and Dragons

After finishing his risotto, Yin Er licked the huge bowl clean with his enormous tongue before putting it down.

“Yin Er, I understand you’ve been hungry all day, now you should be full, right? Do you have the energy for a fight?” Zi Jin said.

“Miss Chestnut Owl!” Yin Er looked at her seriously. “Speak frankly. Why are you so determined to take action?”

Zi Jin readily stopped hiding her true feelings. She raised her gleaming white bone claws and pointed at the several silver dragons behind Yin Er who were busy eating. "The ones behind you, and the ones over there! They beat me up before!" Her voice carried a hint of girlish defiance. "However, if I were to use my rank to beat them up now, it would seem like I was bullying dragons. So, I'll have to trouble Elder Yin Er to take their place!"

The silver dragons she pointed out immediately raised their heads in grievance, one of them hurriedly defending itself: "You're the one who tricked us by saying there were delicious treasures buried in that patch of soil! As a result, we stupidly dug it up, only to find out it was a wheat field that the forest dragon had just planted! We got a good beating from the forest dragon because of that! But you, on the other hand, have already disappeared!"

The bone wings on Violet's back paused instinctively, and her soul fire flickered slightly, revealing a hint of confusion and bewilderment. "I...did I do something like that back then?"

"You don't just remember that we beat you up, but have completely forgotten why we beat you up in the first place, do you?" another silver dragon cried out aggrievedly.

"Sigh..." Yin Er let out a long sigh, recalling the past as he traversed nearly two hundred years of time. "Back then, you were the most intelligent and clever among the young dragons, and also the most mischievous. You always managed to outwit the other young dragons." His gaze towards Zi Jin carried a hint of elder's helplessness. "The other young dragons simply couldn't outmaneuver her little tricks. When they got angry, they couldn't win an argument, so in the end, fighting was the only option left."

Even with Zi Jin's current cold and hard appearance as a bone dragon, her soul fire seemed to flicker erratically due to her embarrassment. She muttered softly, with a hint of disbelief, "...Was I...really that mischievous before?"

"You really are like that, only remembering being beaten and not being fed since you were little!" Su Ming couldn't help but laugh out loud.

"Hmph!" Violet abruptly turned the skull dragon's head away.

Silver Two's massive body suddenly exerted force! He accelerated along the wide flight deck, his heavy footsteps pounding the metal surface with a muffled thunderous sound. Using the powerful momentum of his sprint, he leaped up from the edge of the deck, his massive silver body soaring into the cold night sky. Then, with a whoosh, his wings fully extended, and he steadily entered flight.

"Thank you for your kind hospitality. As you wish, let's have a battle!"

Yin Er's voice echoed through the night sky like rolling thunder. He flapped his powerful wings with all his might and began to climb rapidly, intending to seize a favorable high-altitude position. Zi Jin, controlling the bone dragon, was naturally not to be outdone. A solidified black energy membrane instantly filled between its bone wings, and with a shake of its body, it tore through the air, followed closely by a shriek.

"Did Yin Er see through it?" Su Ming wondered to himself. Holding Elisa's body, he leaped onto the small platform at the highest point of the bridge and sat down in the best vantage point.

He placed the violet on his lap, cradled the girl's head in one hand, and took out a folding tablet with the other, unfolding it and placing it directly on the flat stomach of the girl in his arms. His fingers quickly pressed a set of buttons.

hum-

Throughout the Pansy, hidden and visible high-precision cameras activated, like countless keen eyes automatically locking onto targets from all angles of the ship and tracking figures in the sky. Cold streams of data began to flow across the screens—battlefield data collection mode activated!

"Why are you using my stomach as a table!" Zi Jin protested from the sky, seeing Su Ming's actions.

"And you're one to talk," Su Ming complained jokingly, his fingers rapidly tapping the screen, "your 'table' isn't level at all; you can't even put the tablet on steadily."

"Hmph!" Violet said, somewhat annoyed. "Is there anything strange about how this body is developing?"

Su Ming subconsciously glanced down at the girl in his arms. She was no longer as pale as when they first met; her cheeks had a healthy rosy glow. In the slanted light of the side spotlight, her skin was delicate, and the fine downy hairs were tinged with a delicate, crystalline halo.

The girl's breathing was shallow and even, her long eyelashes casting faint shadows below her eyelids, her body remaining motionless in his arms, like a delicate doll.

"Your complexion has indeed improved a lot lately," Su Ming said.

The girl's completely unguarded attitude made Su Ming sigh helplessly. He shifted his gaze back to the tablet. This "girl" was perfect in every way, except that she identified herself as a dragon—therefore, she always overlooked the issue of gender in human form.

This is really very troubling!

In the air, Silver Two continued its ascent, attempting to gain a higher tactical air superiority point using its massive size and strength. However, the bone dragon controlled by Violet weighed less than a tenth of Silver Two, and its climbing movements were swift and agile, giving it a clear advantage. Silver Two suddenly twisted its massive head and unleashed a blazing, blinding silver breath at the bone dragon relentlessly pursuing it!

Violet neither dodged nor evaded! A solid, almost tangible shadow shield appeared around the pale white skeleton, directly blocking the violent torrent of energy. Then, the bone dragon's hollow maw opened, and a condensed, ink-black dark death ray shot out, striking Silver Two's back in retaliation.

Tsk-!
The shadow rays struck the silver dragon's scales, most of them scattering and turning into tiny obsidian-like sparks, while the remaining energy quickly dissipated and annihilated in the night sky.

This probing exchange made it clear to both dragons that ordinary energy breaths were simply ineffective at breaking through each other's defenses.

Silver Two's massive body displayed astonishing agility in the air, making a sharp turn full of violent aesthetics, and instantly collided head-on with the pursuing bone dragon!
The silver dragon's powerful forelimbs, covered in thick bone plates and shimmering silver scales, swung out with a piercing shriek that tore through the air.

Two sharp, jet-black beams of light suddenly condensed on the bone dragon's massive, white, jade-like claws, which exuded an aura of death, resembling tangible death scythes!
Bang—Boom!
The two colossal beasts collided violently!
A circular shockwave spread outwards. Immediately afterwards, the two dragons were violently propelled apart by the recoil. The much lighter bone dragon, like a javelin thrown by a catapult, was sent flying even further.

On the bone dragon's pristine white breastbone and the base of its left wing, several spiderweb-like cracks had appeared! Strands of condensed dark energy, like a living, viscous liquid, were rapidly enveloping the cracks, repairing and reorganizing them. On the opposite side, beyond the claw marks on Silver Two's abdomen, covered in tough dragon scales, were two long, narrow, deep scratches, as if slashed by a sharp sword.

In the lightning-fast close-quarters exchange, the bone dragon controlled by Violet not only launched a tearing attack with its bone claws, but the edges of its bone wings also slashed precisely across Silver Two in an extremely elegant and swift folding and spinning motion, like two huge black scimitars!

However, these damages also did not achieve the desired effect. The dark marks that remained on Silver Two's wounds and attempted to erode them were quickly cleansed, dispelled, and faded away by the silver dragon's magical energy.

The night wind, carrying a biting chill, howled past high above. Su Ming subconsciously took off his scarf and gently draped it over the slightly thin shoulders of the violet-like human body in his arms.

Feeling the coolness on the girl's cheek, he began to consider whether he should go to the cabin to get a blanket.

"[Purple Violet]," Su Ming asked, "[May I put you on the ground?]"

"No!" Violet said angrily. "The ground is hard and cold! Don't put it there!"

****
In the night sky above, Yin Er's movements suddenly changed. He abruptly spread his enormous silver wings completely, ceasing his continuous flapping; the surface of his wings seemed to be enveloped in a layer of indescribable energy.

Immediately afterwards, the silver dragon's speed began to accelerate incredibly and continuously!
"What kind of magic is this?!" Su Ming frowned, concentrating intently on sensing the fluctuations in the air, but he couldn't detect any unusual magical ripples.

He immediately looked down at the tablet screen resting on Zijin's lower abdomen. Despite the dim night, thanks to advanced low-light night vision technology and multi-spectral imaging capabilities, the high-definition camera clearly captured and displayed every detail of the aerial battlefield on the screen.

Even things that would be obscured by the bright sunlight during the day were now clearly visible: the leading edges of Silver Two's enormous dragon wings seemed to be covered with an extremely thin, constantly swaying pale blue fluid film! This film flowed like living water, spreading along the curve of the wings and leaving a faint trail behind the silver dragon.

It changes rapidly and is unpredictable, full of the irregularity characteristic of fluids, which is completely different from the usual form of magical energy.

Su Ming was filled with astonishment; this was clearly another flight technique outside his knowledge system! He quickly adjusted the parameters of the monitoring equipment on the tablet, and activated the cameras at different angles, striving to record the entire scene from multiple perspectives.

Stacy also came to the top platform. She glanced at Su Ming, who was engrossed in operating the tablet with his eyes fixed on the screen, and then at Elisa, who was lying quietly in his arms. She couldn't help but sigh softly.

Surely not, is it really just unrequited love on Violet's part?

"I knew it! He has absolutely no interest in me!" Violet complained to Stacy in annoyance.

"Alright, alright, maybe it's a different world's emotional culture, different from ours," Stacy quickly reassured her. "Focus on fighting!"
