Parting Gift

The entrance to Wolfpack Snowfield.

Huang Junlong suddenly appeared, clad in a completely sealed protective suit and carrying a weapon specifically designed to deal with the Metal Virus.

But the scene he had expected, with countless monsters surging toward him, did not appear.

He blinked. Only after a while did he lower his weapon, then take out the Mother Empress Potion and pour it directly onto the red snow.

In the blink of an eye, the Metal Virus on the ground began to swell. Then, from all directions, every trace of the Metal Virus started shrinking toward this spot.

A gigantic red sphere quickly took shape, expanding at a visible speed.

Huang Junlong removed his glove and slashed open his palm, letting his blood drip onto the red sphere. At the same time, he took out an energy crystal with his other hand and threw it into the still-expanding sphere.

That way, once the mother body took shape, it would be under his control.

After a long night of darkness, dawn would eventually arrive.

Before dawn came, Zhang Ping devoured all the monsters formed from the Metal Virus.

The metal coating covered a larger area with each layer, requiring more and more metal elements. As a result, the farther he progressed, the harder it became for Zhang Ping's body to expand.

After eating all the monsters formed from the Metal Virus, he reached a height of roughly nine hundred meters and weighed around 1.3 million tons.

The Metal Eater ability alone had firmly established Zhang Ping as Mingzhu City's second-strongest person. Apart from Situ Shibai, no one could match him.

Wait.

That statement was a little too absolute.

After all, all of Situ Shibai's abilities came from other Awakened.

Zhang Ping felt he should be a little more modest.
