Otherworld Bone Dragon Operation Guide

Chapter 99 Su Ming's Prank
Dark magic doesn't allow for flight, and Su Ming can't construct magical wings using dark elements like Yesia does. However, Zi Jin prepared a crystal for him engraved with a wind-based flight spell.

Su Ming unleashed the crystal's power to its maximum, but it still wasn't fast enough. By the time Su Ming arrived at the location where Yesia had fallen into the sea, she had indeed already sunk.

Nothing could be seen on the sea under the cover of night. Su Ming rubbed his still numb shoulder as he left behind a magical buoy.

The three zombie octopuses had already lost control and scattered. Su Ming ordered the bone whale to come over and search for Yesia's body in the sea, using the magical buoy as a center.

That was all he could do.

He turned and ran towards Violet. Her aura within the bone mark was very faint, indicating that she had taken a very heavy blow just now.

This time he found his target easily, as it was a large ice floe, strikingly visible in the dark seawater. Su Ming broke the ice and pulled the girl out. A chill ran through him as soon as he touched her; Su Ming himself was almost frozen. He had to put her body back into the seawater. The scholar was pale, her eyes tightly closed, and she was only breathing faintly.

Su Ming quickly checked and found that she had been stabbed in the chest, with white magical residue swirling around the wound, emanating a stagnant, icy aura. Then there were countless needles covering half of her body.

There were other wounds as well, but none of them were as serious as these.

"How are you, Xiwo?" Su Ming sent a message to the old elf.

"A girl is helping bandage him; he won't die." Xiwo's voice sounded weak. "Where's Xiaojin?"

"Her life is relatively stable, but she seems to be frozen, unconscious," Su Ming said. "I dare not pull her out of the water."

"She's been corrupted by the Frostbite Domain for too long, and she's also been hit by ice needles," Siwo said. "Try dispelling it—but no, dark-type dispels will damage the soul."

[I know what to do.] Su Ming ended the message.

"Depressing Words - Elements Fading!"

Su Ming immediately used a dark-elemental expulsion spell on Zi Jin, stripping the remaining ice elemental properties from the girl's body, which then began to dissipate in wisps. Normal people shouldn't be subjected to this, but the scholar seemed to be bathed in warm water, her expression gradually relaxing.

The wolf-hair needles lost their magical attachment and were easily removed by Su Ming using magic.

Soon, the girl coughed a few times and slowly woke up in his arms.

Su Ming quickly carried Zi Jin out of the water. The girl opened her eyes briefly, saw it was him, and then closed them again with relief.

Su Ming breathed a sigh of relief.

Two skeletons approached in a white triangle. Su Ming jumped on, carrying Zi Jin, and led her to the workshop, placing her on a bone bed. Skeleton servants brought a first-aid kit and a large quantity of medicine.

"I'm sorry." Su Ming took off Zi Jin's wet coat and shoes, and then unbuttoned her shirt. He took a large bottle of saline solution made with distilled water and rinsed the wound on her chest. The wound was quite long, running from her left shoulder to her right side, and blood was constantly seeping out.

Zijin's lips turned pale. She raised her hand to stop Su Ming and forced herself to speak, "The wound... isn't very serious. Water magic can heal it."

“I know, but the infection needs to be dealt with first,” Su Ming said. Water magic can heal external wounds, but it cannot kill viruses and bacteria, which is very dangerous for scholars who cannot withstand light healing spells.

Even for medicine grounded in the Earth, infectious complications are an extremely serious matter. Especially considering the scholars had been in the sea for a long time, their wounds were already severely contaminated.

Su Ming took out a bag of glucose injection solution, inserted a disposable IV tube, cut off one end of the syringe, and put it near Zi Jin's mouth.

After taking a few sips, the scholar felt a little better.

"I'll disinfect it for you. After that, will you be able to treat your wound yourself?" Su Ming asked.

Violet gently shook her head. "I'm sealed by Yesia's magic, and I can't use spells right now." Beanie was sealed as well. Siwo was clearly badly injured; otherwise, he wouldn't have needed that seriously wounded girl to bandage him and stop the bleeding.

Su Ming could not use any spells other than those of the dark element. "Can I remove the seal on you?" he asked Zi Jin.

"can."

"That's good," Su Ming said.

Su Ming glanced at the wound after rinsing it; it was fairly clean. He grabbed a bottle of iodine and was about to continue rinsing when Zi Jin, who had been lying listlessly, suddenly hugged her chest and shrank back.

A week ago, the girl's spleen was injured by a giant octopus. She also had several abrasions on her body, which Su Ming disinfected with alcohol. Since then, she has been traumatized.

"It won't hurt," Su Ming comforted her.

"Really?" The scholar looked at him with a skeptical gaze.

Su Ming shook the brown liquid in the bottle, even pouring a little onto her arm. The girl felt it and, sure enough, it didn't hurt.

Zi Jin then lay back down on the bed, letting Su Ming continue treating her wounds. The scholar, watching the busy Su Ming, asked curiously, "Did you receive training as a healer in your original world?"

"No, I learned it during this period of time."

Since learning about Zijin's physical defect, Su Ming has been intensively studying knowledge related to external injuries, doing a lot of research. He specifically sought out and watched videos of real external injury treatments, gradually getting used to the scenes from the initial severe discomfort.

Zijin used her uninjured hand to pick up a dry towel, wiped the water off her face and hair, and drank a few sips of glucose. Her condition improved significantly.

Su Ming washed the wounds on her arm clean, and suddenly a mischievous thought popped into his head. He took the towel from the girl's hand, grabbed her hands, and pressed them down on the bone bed, one on each side.

Zi Jin looked at Su Ming with confusion, not understanding what was going on.

“You are currently sealed and cannot cast spells, right?” Su Ming said.

"What do you want to do?" Zi Jin tried to pull her hand away, but couldn't. "Su Ming!"

Su Ming's face was very close to hers, and the scholar was feeling very strange. She turned her face away.

Two bone rings grew out of the bed board, firmly securing her wrists. The girl raised her leg to kick, but Su Ming easily dodged it.

Su Ming put on rubber gloves, took a large bottle of clear liquid from the workbench, and walked toward Zijin with ill intent.

"Hey, haven't the wounds already been disinfected?"

"According to standard procedures, deeper wounds need to be rinsed a second time with hydrogen peroxide after treatment with iodine to kill the anaerobic bacteria and fungi inside," Su Ming explained. "Don't worry, this is much gentler than alcohol, so you don't need to be so nervous."

"Really?" Zi Jin couldn't break free of the bone ring on her wrist and could only watch Su Ming approach step by step.

“Of course!” Su Ming replied, then poured the hydrogen peroxide on it.

A piercing scream echoed across the sea at night, mingling with the gentle breeze.
