It is undeniable that this crystal scorpion is powerful and indeed poses a threat to Ye Zhongming, but it is not strong enough to leave the Lord of the Cloud Summit helpless.
Ye Zhongming held back his strength because he was somewhat confused by Meng Ao’s words.
Was that earring really the Angras Earrings? It turns out it wasn't something from the Tarros Red Dwarf? Is this crystal scorpion the real deal? Then why was nothing mentioned in the mission?
With many questions swirling in his mind, he couldn't help but feel cautious.
At that moment, the crystal scorpion drew the earring into its body with its tail.
Ye Zhongming took a step back and did not seize the opportunity to attack; he wanted to see what abilities this crystal scorpion possessed that could prompt the various races of the universe in the sky to use proxies to battle one another.
The crystal scorpion was already quite different from the scorpions on Earth, and after its transformation, the differences were even more pronounced.
Firstly, its body no longer resembled a scorpion but was more humanoid, with helmet-like structures protruding from both sides of its head, and behind it were three layers of translucent crystal wings, which were currently folded against its back.
What stood out most from its humanoid form was its large tail behind it, which was thinner and shorter than its previous scorpion form, but many sharp crystal blades protruded from it, spinning in circles.
Ye Zhongming felt a strange sensation; as he looked at this crystal 'scorpion man,' he had an odd impression that it seemed to have become somewhat... clumsy.
Yes, after transforming, the scorpion man's movements became a bit slow, and it abandoned its attack on Ye Zhongming, retreating instead beside Meng Ao.
"Don't think that just because you Tarros Red Dwarfs can produce many things, you're impressive. Other races are only polite to you because they have needs, but when it comes to combat power, you don't even rank in the top thousand. Do you truly think no one dares to provoke you? You always act so high and mighty, even when negotiating business," Meng Ao said, hiding his body behind the scorpion man, completely blocking Ye Zhongming's line of sight.
"Your proxy acts like the king of heaven, thinking no one knows how to use this Demonic Scorpion Crystal Armor except for the Tarros Red Dwarfs. But the truth is, we understand!"
With these words, Ye Zhongming heard some sounds and also learned the name of the crystal scorpion—Demonic Scorpion Crystal Armor.
"Since we know how to use the Demonic Scorpion Crystal Armor ourselves, what do we need you for? I'll kill your proxy, haha."
As he laughed, Ye Zhongming cautiously took a step back because he noticed something.
Meng Ao was being drawn into the scorpion man behind the Demonic Scorpion Crystal Armor!
"Let me show you the power of the various races of the universe!"
Meng Ao's entire body entered the Demonic Scorpion Crystal Armor, and this piece of equipment, which should have been man-made, immediately lost its earlier clumsiness, replaced by a sharp sense of danger.
It was like a fierce tiger looking down at you from above.
"Are the Angras Earrings the control device?" Ye Zhongming suddenly asked.
Meng Ao, evidently feeling safe after entering the Demonic Scorpion Crystal Armor, replied with a somewhat muffled voice, "To be precise, it's a connector. Without it, the Demonic Scorpion Crystal Armor can only fight in its scorpion form, with combat power equivalent to an ordinary eighth-level life, or even weaker. But with this connector, it can transform into a second form, like it is now, merging with evolved life and unleashing combat power many times stronger than the sum of both!"
"Ye Zhongming," Meng Ao raised both hands, "I previously asked you to let me go, but since you refused, I can only walk over your corpse."
After saying that, the tips of the two crystal arms suddenly shot out countless beams of light, resembling two heavy machine guns, and began to attack Ye Zhongming wildly.
