Chapter 210: Peerless
With a single thrust, the sword sliced through the flames, instantly piercing the Sting Scorpion in front of Mu Yang.
A massive blaze erupted from the dead Sting Scorpion, and the unquenchable flames forced the Insect Swarm to keep their distance.
But for the safety of the Zerg Queen, they had no choice but to continue attacking with their lives.
Mu Yang scanned his surroundings, and seeing that the time was right, he dispelled his longsword.
Then, he slammed his right hand downwards, and the violent golden-red flames instantly transformed into a ring of hot waves, sweeping through the entire Hive passage!
The Sting Scorpion's hard exoskeleton softened, burst, and cracked under the high temperature; the Flying Mantis's fleshy wings turned black and withered under the scorching flames, finally all succumbing to death—
Blood containing corrosive toxins was instantly vaporized, and the passage was filled with pungent blue-purple smoke.
"Friend, in your opinion, why is this person here?"
The Zerg Queen's expression was no longer as confident as it had been a few minutes ago; because of Mu Yang's Solar Flames, a hint of bewilderment now clouded her face.
Even without experiencing it herself, she could feel how strong the oppressive force of those flames was on the Zerg.
If not for her suppression, the Insect Swarm would have already fallen into chaos.
"I don't know. But people like us wouldn't act recklessly without benefits. Think about what in the Hive could attract him; perhaps we can turn an enemy into a friend?"
Aida speculated. In her impression, Contractors were creatures who wouldn't get up early without profit.
Mu Yang was probably no different, so as long as they appealed to his interests, they could solve the current problem.
Although this plan was a bit passive, it seemed like a good method for now. However, Ya, the Zerg Queen, was somewhat reluctant.
Her idea was very simple and reasonable.
Mu Yang attacked her Insect Swarm, and then she had to apologize to him. Where would her dignity as a Zerg Queen be then?!
Thus, Ya's previously wavering heart instantly firmed up.
Fight!
It wouldn't be too late to surrender if she couldn't win!
On the other side, after repelling the pursuing ordinary Insect Swarm, Mu Yang wandered around inside the Hive.
The Hive's passages were intricate and extended in all directions, like a large ant nest; it was easy to get lost without knowing the way.
He took out the upgraded crystal bottle, whose quality had greatly improved.
[crystal bottle]
Origin: Fairy Tale World Quality: Purple Category: Special Item Capacity: 3/3 (+1)
Equipment Requirement: None Effect 1: Spring Water (Passive): The bottle contains spring water imbued with magic, which can be consumed three times. Each consumption can quickly restore 80 (+40) Mana.

Rating: 144
Description: The faint glow of candlelight can also illuminate the path ahead. I no longer fear the darkness.
Price: 30,000 paradise coins
Mu Yang's luck had always been strong, so the quality of the crystal bottle directly improved from green to purple, with all aspects of its effects enhanced.
It also gained a "Candlelight" effect, which could absorb damage taken, indirectly increasing his tankiness, but it probably wouldn't be too strong.
What Mu Yang valued most was the Mana recovery effect brought by the spring water.
Taking a third of the spring water in one gulp, his consumed Mana gradually recovered.
Drip-drop—
An inexplicable sound of dripping water came from behind him. Mu Yang did not turn back but directly threw a Flaming Sun Spear at the enemy.
Excellent effect!
As the sizzling sound of flames burning flesh and the painful cries of the Elite Stinger Scorpion came from behind, the passage where Mu Yangwas located began to tremble faintly.
As far as the eye could see, there were Elite Stinger Scorpions and Flying Mantises, each more than twice the size of ordinary Insect Swarm.
Their purplish-red chitinous carapaces shimmered with a metallic glow, clearly specially reinforced and designed to counter the flame abilities of the Yasenman warriors.
Therefore, the Zerg Queen firmly believed that this carapace would also be effective against Mu Yang's Solar Flames.
Pairs of scarlet compound eyes stared fixedly at Mu Yang, emanating a cold and ruthless killing intent.
They did not charge mindlessly like ordinary Sting Scorpions, becoming obstacles to each other.
Instead, like a well-trained team, they slowly converged into an oval encirclement formation, blocking all paths for Mu Yang to advance or retreat.
Their thick carapaces collided and rubbed against each other, emitting a dull sound.
Without communication or roars, the actions of this group of Elite Stinger Scorpions, known as the Zerg Queen's guard, were exceptionally swift and unified.
The Sting Scorpions at the front lowered their bodies, using their sturdy carapaces as shields, while simultaneously firing their tail stingers like powerful crossbows.
The Flying Mantises, with slightly weaker defenses and positioned at the rear, sprayed deep purple corrosive venom, sealing off Mu Yang's dodging space.
Facing more than a dozen deadly stingers, Mu Yang seemed to have nowhere to dodge.
Ya, observing everything from behind, also felt that Mu Yang, relying on his powerful strength, did not take the Insect Swarm seriously and was too arrogant, resulting in a misstep.
Before she could exchange a triumphant glance with Aida, a sudden change occurred!
The golden-red flames hidden within Mu Yang's body suddenly spread outwards, and the thin flame barrier instantly solidified, transforming into a several-meter-high Wall of Sighs.
As soon as the incoming stingers touched the flames, they were like ice and snow falling into molten lava, not even emitting a wisp of smoke before being incinerated into ashes by the terrifying high temperature.
The corrosive venom also failed to pose any threat to Mu Yang. This potent poison, capable of corroding steel, appeared extremely powerless before the absolute high temperature of the raging flames.
Apart from causing the flames to boil violently, only wisps of pungent purple smoke remained, proving its existence.
This round of attacks seemed grand, but it not only failed to inflict effective damage on Mu Yang, it couldn't even break through his flame barrier.
"Ah?
"My suggestion is to communicate and ask what he needs. If not, we can only fight."
Aida said with a solemn expression.
She knew Mu Yang was strong, but she hadn't expected that even the Elite Stinger Scorpions and Flying Mantises, which were quite troublesome for her, couldn't pose a threat to Mu Yang.
Although there was an element of counter-effect involved, it was still astonishing.
She subconsciously caressed the back of her hand, where a golden '8' was tattooed, marking her as one of the top ten in the Arena rankings.
Mu Yang, having not participated in the Arena for several world progressions, had now been pushed down.
Without giving Ya any extra time to think, Mu Yang's right hand was already raised, gently pressing on that thick barrier.
She had seen this scene before.
As expected, the flame barrier would then transform into a circular wave of fire, sweeping towards the Sting Scorpions.
The fierce flames would scorch her guard; the Sting Scorpions' carapaces would soften, char, and finally crack; the Flying Mantises' proud fleshy wings would blacken, twist, and finally turn to ash.
Thinking of the fate of her few elites, Ya urgently shouted:
"Stop!"
