Otherworld Bone Dragon Operation Guide

Chapter 94 Five Teeth

Su Ming was even more surprised. With the help of Violet's cover, he finally managed to hit Yesia without a shield this time—but even so, he couldn't penetrate the enemy; the tail of the bullet was even visible!
Although he never expected to be able to pierce through a human body with a single shot like on Earth, this was still far from the ideal!

Yeshia swung his blade at Su Ming, and a white ice blade shot out, freezing everything in its path. Su Ming raised his gun to block, but the sniper rifle exploded instantly, and the flying ice shards blasted him deep into the ship's cabin.

Zi Jin was also cleaved in two by the Holy Demon Swordsman's next strike. She retreated, sensing the bone mark to confirm that Su Ming was not seriously injured.

The scholar's own magic power had been depleted by more than half, while Yesia, although injured, had much better magic power reserves.

The battle was teetering on the brink of danger. Violet looked at her opponent and quickly considered her options.

Yesia was also assessing the situation. The annoying fellow inside the cabin was still alive, but his weapons had been destroyed, rendering him no longer a threat. Bing Shu decided to continue targeting Zi Jin—once they eliminated this strongest point of the enemy, tonight's battle would be over!

Just as she was about to move, she suddenly felt her body become light. Yesia frowned, realizing something was wrong with her wound—there was no pain at all!

Without hesitation, she inserted her fingers into the wound in her shoulder, digging out the bullet through the flesh and skin, yet she felt no pain whatsoever. Upon closer inspection of the bullet, she discovered it was riddled with tiny holes filled with some kind of drug.

She quickly conjured a series of antidote spells, various colored lights flowing over the wound, but to no avail.

"What have you done!" Yesia was furious. She felt even more disoriented; clearly, the poison hadn't been neutralized at all. And it wasn't just her shoulder; the area on her chest where the six-pointed star had struck her no longer hurt. Instead, her entire body was filled with a strange sense of comfort. She tried several uncommon antidotes, but to no avail.

Yeshia forced herself to steady herself, and the blade in her hand was reattached to ice, only now its shape became unrestrained and exaggerated. She suddenly charged forward, smashing through the hull of the semi-submersible ship, sending debris flying in her wake.

Seeing this, Violet turned and fled at full speed. Behind her, a large area of ​​water froze into ice, and the sea seemed to be painted with two giant paintbrushes, with the girl becoming a small boat tossed about in it.

"Su Ming, what exactly did you put in the bullets?" Zi Jin asked urgently. She had tried her best to dodge, but even the splattering ice crystals that grazed her made her feel a bone-chilling cold, and the Frostbite Domain was continuously eroding her.

Yesia's body no longer showed any signs of incoordination caused by his injury, and his movements became faster and more frantic.

"Painkillers," Su Ming replied. "I administered dozens of times the lethal dose!"

These medicines—three large bottles in total—were put into a medicine bag by a skilled clerk when Su Ming asked for hemostatic agents at the pharmacy earlier. Su Ming strongly suspected that the clerk had wanted to eliminate any future problems.

The active ingredient of this drug, after purification, can take effect with just a few micrograms, while ten milligrams can kill a person multiple times.

"...Are you sure you're not strengthening her?!" Violet was so angry she almost ground her teeth to powder. She changed direction several times in mid-air, intending to use her talent for flight to escape.

"This thing can block breathing and cause rapid death!" Su Ming explained.

An overdose of the drug would produce a strong anesthetic effect, halting the respiratory center. But clearly, Su Ming hadn't expected the orcs to have such strong resistance!
Yesia relentlessly pursued and slashed, getting more and more excited with each strike. She even started dancing in the air, spinning her body amidst the flying ice shards, her long tail swaying in the wind, her movements silky and dazzling, creating countless deadly spirals.

Zi Jin wanted to strangle Su Ming. [This is practically a stimulant!]

Siwo chased closely behind, but could never hit the ghostly Ice Maiden.

"Calm down, Yesia's breathing has indeed slowed down," Siwo reminded her. "But she won't suffocate anytime soon!" Violet replied. She turned to observe and suddenly realized that Yesia's fighting style had become so exaggerated, and her movements were now predictable.

Using this, the scholar successfully dodged the next few attacks and regained the rhythm of the battle.

"[Siwo, Yesia's acting a bit irrationally! Be careful and anticipate her moves!]" she said to Siwo. "Don't worry about her speed!"

【Alright!】Siwo nodded, changed his battle strategy, and continued to harass Bing Shu.

However, under the stimulation of the drug, Yesia's magic shield also became stronger, making it even more impossible for the two to cause harm.

The battle at sea has once again reached a stalemate.

****
With a violent cough, Su Ming struggled to his feet. Yesia's attack hadn't hit any vitals; he was mostly covered in superficial wounds. Thanks to the freezing effect, the wounds hadn't bled much.

He switched on his flashlight and looked around. The cramped cabin was severely damaged by Yeshia's attack; the upper three decks were badly destroyed, and seawater was constantly pouring in from many places. Strangely, the entire ship was without any lighting, and despite the severe damage, there wasn't a single crew member in sight, nor could he hear any human voice.

It's practically a ghost ship! Su Ming thought to himself. He activated his psionic vision and discovered that the ship's wood had been specially treated to block detection spells.

Su Ming took out a roll of bandage from his waist bag and tightened it around the larger wounds on his body.

Su Ming searched for a way out, intending to leave this strange ship first. As he walked, he discovered many other signs of damage on the ship, suggesting that a fierce battle had taken place previously.

In a cabin, Su Ming saw several corpses. He examined them and found that they were all dwarves. Rigor mortis had subsided, and with his limited forensic knowledge, he knew that they had been dead for more than two days.

On a badge, he saw the words "Five Teeth".

So, this is the dwarven warship where the mechanic girl Beanie is located?

No wonder the ship couldn't be seen on radar when it was receiving supplies from the USS Ale; it was underwater.

Judging from the current situation, it's clear that Yesia has hijacked the Five Teeth. However, this raises another question: if the crew was killed, how did she manage to control the ship?

In the next cabin, Su Ming discovered more corpses, some of which had been gnawed on by something.

Seeing this, Su Ming felt a surge of anger. He already knew how Yesia was controlling the ship, and a string of runes began to gather in his hand.

The sounds of movement came from the front and back of the corridor, and even from above. Su Ming activated his Netherworld Vision and, unsurprisingly, found himself trapped in the corridor by seven or eight dwarf zombies. They were dressed in sailor uniforms, their faces expressionless, and many of the zombies had dried blood and black bits of flesh and bone at the corners of their mouths.

Yesia is truly cruel! She turned the surviving crew into zombie enslavement and forced them to eat the corpses of their comrades to keep going!
