Otherworld Bone Dragon Operation Guide

Chapter 346 Counter-Entropy
Because of Yinfei's actions, the completely frozen wing scales were agitated, and the layer of ice actually tore apart the flexible structure of the wing membrane! The broken ice shell was torn off along with the dragon skin underneath, revealing a hideous wound!

"Ugh—!!" The excruciating pain made Yin Fei scream. "How is this possible?!" she cried out in horror. "The freezing wind outside, which was more than thirty degrees below zero, couldn't hurt me! In this warm cave... how is this possible!"

"I'm sorry, I've never told you this secret before." Lan Mo endured the sharp pain in her chest, swaying as she stood up, her icy blue vertical pupils flashing with complex light. "Not only am I weak in ice magic, but I also can't cast fire spells!"

This isn't surprising. Blue dragons are naturally only highly compatible with frost, lacking potential in other elements. Lan Mo, unfortunately, has very poor ice-type talent, making him, in fact, a magically inept individual among the blue dragons.

This is common among dragons. Just like in human societies, not every dragon possesses the potential to become powerful. Many dragons lack natural talents, such as poor magical abilities or naturally weak physiques.

“But…” Lan Mo’s voice carried a hint of indescribable reminiscence, “the old humans buried here by the river of history actually found some ways to manipulate ‘magic’ without relying on magical affinity!”

He looked around at the rock walls covered with murals. "Hundreds of years ago, I chose this site as my refuge by chance. Over the long years that followed, whenever I felt lonely, I would immerse myself in studying these murals and the traces left behind... until one day... I finally deciphered something amazing!"

Click... Sizzle...

The terrifying ice did not stop its invasion, continuing to spread and climb wildly across Yinfei's body! Even her newly torn wound, which was gushing dragon blood, was blocked by rapidly solidifying ice crystals!

"What can these ants, abandoned by the times, create?!" Yin Fei roared in resentment, but the growing fear of the unknown within her grew stronger and stronger!

"That grand bonfire celebration you just saw in the mural," Lan Mo's voice was as crisp as icicles striking each other, carrying a chilling insight into the truth, "The old humans lit that 'fire' not with wood or oil, but with 'water'—a 'fire' transformed from water freezing! That's the real reason they revelled all night around that tiny point of light!"

“Absurd!! Absolutely impossible!!” Yinfei screamed in disbelief.

“The Grey-Tailed Scholars always sigh after exploring this place in depth.” Lan Mo slowly raised a claw covered with blue scales, and a kind of extremely unstable energy fluctuation, completely contrary to ice energy, neither blue nor white, began to swirl around the claw tip. “If this group of ancient humans without magic were given even a little more space to survive and time to develop… the miracles they create would surely shock the entire Teya Plane!”

****
Lan Mo pointed his dragon claw at Yin Fei, his voice suddenly rising in pitch:
"Heat Flow, Entropy Reversal!"

The invisible and intangible ripples, yet carrying a sense of paradox, instantly engulfed Yin Fei!

Caught off guard, the silver dragon was suddenly overwhelmed by an indescribable heat that exploded from its limbs, the gaps between its scales, and even the depths of its soul! It was as if the dragon blood surging within its body had been ignited in an instant, and every cell was screaming wildly!
Her scales and skin were getting colder, but her core body was warming up!

Yin Fei's prized "Arcane Prism," capable of deflecting countless spells, and the Silver Dragon Scale Armor, were utterly ineffective against Lan Mo's unconventional power!

"I can reverse the flow of heat," Lan Mo said in a low voice. "Through the power of magic, I can directly make heat defy the rules, flowing from cold to scorching! As for entropy, I'm sorry, that's a taboo that touches upon the essence of magic, beyond the comprehension of your barren and dull mind... I only caught a glimpse of a ray of light above the abyss under the guidance of these old humans!"

The solidified dragon scales, the torn dragon wings, the burning heat of the dragon's body—all of this filled Yin Fei with immense terror. The unknown power that Lan Mo displayed, beyond her comprehension, terrified her. Suddenly, Yin Fei's eyes turned bloodshot, and she let out a piercing scream, lunging at Lan Mo without hesitation!

Lan Mo simply took half a step to the side and back to avoid the attack! Yin Fei brushed past his massive dragon body, but continued running without looking back.

Like a frightened bird, Yin Fei fled desperately through the narrow cave passage towards the snowy world outside!

*Pfft!* *Splash!*
In the frantic rush, more and more frozen skin and muscles covered with beautiful silver scales were torn off piece by piece under the pull of violent contractions!

Her once sacred and noble silver body had now become like a leperous beast covered in festering sores, utterly wretched and miserable!
Lan Mo gave chase, but stopped near the cave entrance, gazing at Yin Fei's departing figure.

"Silver Scarlet, out of consideration for our shared kinship," his deep voice pierced the cold wind and carried ahead, "the best course of action is to voluntarily return to Dragon Valley to confess your sins!"

Yin Fei ignored her completely and quickly disappeared. Lan Mo turned and walked back into the cave, but before he could steady himself, he suddenly stopped, and a mouthful of scalding dragon blood spurted onto the ground.

His situation was actually more serious than Yin Fei's; if the fight continued, he might only be able to exchange lives. Fortunately, this genius Yin Long had very poor mental fortitude and was scared away by his bluff.

As for Lan Mo's injuries, one reason was Yin Fei's sudden sneak attack; but the heavier burden was the terrible backlash brought about by driving the anti-entropy itself—this uncontrollable power, while burning the enemy, also eroded him.

As the price for stealing this forbidden power, his skin is extremely prone to becoming scorching hot, which is why he has to stay in the frigid North Iceland.

Lan Mo, panting to calm the excruciating pain within her body, walked back to the cave to examine the communication array that Yin Fei had destroyed.

The damage was extremely severe; the magic circuits were broken and charred, and the core crystal was covered with spiderweb-like cracks.

The winged tribe's encampment wasn't very close, and communication spells alone weren't enough to deliver the message. Even more problematic was that his low magical affinity meant he couldn't effectively heal his own injuries with magic.

However, after frowning and pondering for a moment, Lan Mo's tense mood relaxed slightly. The communication hub had been interrupted without warning; the Feather Clan would surely send someone to investigate the cause as quickly as possible.

He quickly treated the wounds on his chest and abdomen, pressing the wound shut to stop the bleeding. Just as he was about to lie down on the cold rock to rest and regain his strength, he suddenly caught a glimpse of something unusual in the cave out of the corner of his eye.

A large area of ​​the cave wall collapsed, and behind a section of fallen rubble, a huge space that had never been seen before was suddenly revealed!
