Chapter 2151. One Bite, One Child
They waited a while, but nothing rushed out of the pit. And gradually, the sounds of explosions became less and less frequent.
As everyone was still staring in confusion, their eyes drifted to the side of the pit. A small white paw with metal claws had risen just over the edge. The claws looked ferociously sharp, but the paw was only the size of a baby’s hand, though.
The small paw felt around for a grip on some surface. When it grasped the ground and started hauling itself up, a white metal face became visible. Its eyes were circular, and the skin looked like the skin of a lotus.
When it emerged fully from the pit, everyone was able to get a good look at it. The little white beast looked sort of similar to a pangolin. With the tail included, it probably wasn’t more than a meter long. Compared to the metal statues around it, the white metal beast looked like an ant.
After the little beast pulled itself onto the surface, its chubby body waddled toward them. It was not fast, though. And its tail and its butt shook like a baby’s bottom.
Han Sen looked at the beast with visible confusion. It might have looked like a pangolin, but it wasn’t exactly like a pangolin. Han Sen thought of a creature that looked even more similar to it.
“Metal Eater!” Han Sen remembered the Metal Eater he once adopted. This creature was a little smaller than the Metal Eater he had befriended, but other than that, it looked incredibly similar.
“Considering that this planet is formed wholly of metal, this might indeed be a Metal Eater. But that being said, its size suggests that it is a baby. Perhaps there is an adult one hiding in the cave?” Han Sen thought with worry.
Although this creature might not have been the exact same species as the one Han Sen had encountered in the sanctuaries, it was definitely the same type. The metal critter seemed quite confident as it waddled its way toward the feet of one of the metal statues.
