Gaining a tiny bit of weight every day, my weight is a billion tons.

Two figures, one in front and one behind.

Su Ming covered his buttocks and ran wildly ahead.

It felt like the fabric beneath the trench coat had been ripped open by that chilling blade of energy.

Damn it, I should have known better than to be so sarcastic.

This woman can't take a joke at all!

Shen Qingci, carrying Leng Feng, quickly followed behind.

The blush on her pretty face hadn't completely faded yet.

She didn't know what was wrong with her.

Ever since I met this guy.

She was proud of her calm and undisturbed state of mind.

It's like a pond that's been pelted with a brick.

Ripples continued.

The two ran for several hundred meters, one after the other.

The surrounding air was thick with the stench of blood and the smell of scorched earth.

It quickly dispelled the slightly romantic yet awkward atmosphere from before.

This is already the middle section of the ash belt.

The level of danger has risen to another level.

Stop.

Shen Qingci suddenly raised her right hand and made a shushing gesture.

She looked at a broken wall or ruins more than a hundred meters ahead.

Su Ming stopped in his tracks and followed her gaze.

Through the thin, dense fog characteristic of the ash belt.

He saw a gigantic monster, the size of an adult bull.

The monster looked like a Tibetan Mastiff that had mutated countless times.

Its entire body was covered in dark golden mane.

Beside its thick hind legs lay two mangled corpses of strange beasts.

Those were two Tier 2 Ironbone Hyenas, renowned for their defensive capabilities.

At that moment, their necks were forcibly torn off.

Hot blood was still flowing.

It had clearly just been brutally bitten to death by this mutated Tibetan Mastiff.

However, this terrifying beast had just finished its battle.

They are not interested in the flesh and blood of hyenas.

He was lying in an abandoned trench at the moment.

Its two front claws pressed down firmly on and tore at the broken chest cavity of a mech.

All that could be heard was a teeth-grinding "crunch, crunch" sound.

Its gaping maw was filled with interlocking fangs.

It was actually gnawing on that high-strength alloy armor plate!

The alloy-made mecha now resembled a crispy biscuit.

It was chewed to pieces with a "crunch crunch".

Swallow it directly into your stomach.

Su Ming was completely dumbfounded.

Holy crap?

Is this thing...eating iron?

He subconsciously touched his stomach.

A feeling of utter absurd disorientation rushed to my head.

He always thought he was the only "iron-eating beast" in the entire universe.

It is a unique and peculiar species on the evolutionary chain.

It turned out that nature was even crazier than he had imagined!

He actually met a fellow enthusiast here!

Although... the other party is a dog.

For a moment, Su Ming's expression changed when he looked at the ferocious monster again.

It was no longer just aversion and wariness towards strange beasts.

On the contrary... on the contrary, a kind of mutual appreciation across species arose!

A kindred spirit!

"It...it's eating so deliciously!"

Su Ming subconsciously licked his lips.

He let out a heartfelt sigh.

Shen Qingci stood beside him, fully focused on preparing for battle.

Hearing this, I almost stumbled.

She turned her head and looked at Su Ming with the eyes of someone looking at a lunatic.

What exactly is the structure of this guy's brain?

Normal people would see this kind of second-order mutated beast.

Shouldn't it all be tension and fear?

What does it mean to "eat with relish"?

Su Ming also eats iron regularly.

But that was achieved through the system space's absorption and transformation.

Essentially, it is a highly efficient energy extraction process.

At this moment, watching that Wilderness Mastiff's primitive, brutal, and instinctive way of "eating dry food" was truly remarkable.

It gave me a visual shock, like watching a mukbang video in a past life.

Wow, that's wild enough!

But their eating manners were too unsightly.

It has to be me who eats in a more upscale, elegant, and civilized way.

Su Ming felt that the difference between the two was like the difference between a Southeast Asian mukbang streamer and a Michelin-starred restaurant review blogger.

A strange sense of superiority arose spontaneously.

At this moment, even his inner emotions were extremely complex.

Three parts shock, four parts familiarity.

Three points left... a sense of crisis!

This abyss is littered with metal scraps, the skeletons of strange beasts, and high-grade mineral veins...

Did that bastard eat them all?

You're stealing my job!

This is intolerable!

Su Ming's gaze shifted from friendly to hostile, even carrying a hint of murderous intent.

Wait a minute!

Wait, it's a dog!

What is the most powerful thing about dogs?

It's a nose!

This Yuanyuan is like a garbage dump, stretching as far as the eye can see.

Even if you have the resources, it would take forever to find them all by yourself.

But if...

To be able to get a dog with such a special sense of smell for metals and high-energy minerals...

Wouldn't that be like carrying around a "rare substance detector"?

Not only that, but riding it out is incredibly cool!

His family had a big yellow dog when he was a child.

I dream of riding it to school.

But Dahuang died of illness before he could grow up.

It became an unfulfilled regret in my childhood.

This barbarian mastiff is bigger than an ox, its dark golden mane fluttering like a banner...

If you could ride this, wouldn't it be even more stylish than riding a horse?

Thinking of this, Su Ming looked at the Wilderness Mastiff.

The initial camaraderie among "fellow enthusiasts" has escalated directly to the burning passion of "the dream mount".

He lowered his voice and quietly leaned close to Shen Qingci's ear.

The warm breath tickled the back of her ear.

"Hey, long legs, you said this dog... can I take it home and keep it as a pet?"

Shen Qingci froze, turned her face to the side, and stared intently at him.

"...What did you call me?"

That look in her eyes was colder than the knife in her hand.

"Ahem, Miss Shen, sugar daddy."

Su Ming immediately changed his tune, looking completely innocent and harmless.

"Look how impressive it is, it'll make you look good to ride it."

Shen Qingci forcibly suppressed the urge to draw his sword.

"Let's raise it."

She rolled her eyes dramatically, still not completely simmering with anger from being teased earlier.

"You'd better feed yourself. You have more iron in your body than that mech!"

Su Ming: "..."

Tsk, this woman...

She's not very broad-minded, and her mind is so narrow.

Why are you still holding a grudge...?
