On a small hill.
Including the little turtle sent out earlier to gather materials, there were a total of twelve iron-based lifeforms, standing perched on a massive boulder, gazing into the distance.
Their sizes differed greatly.
As for gender, none!
Iron-based lifeforms are hermaphroditic!
They can rely on devouring specific materials and energy, morph into beast-like forms, and after a period of gestation, successfully clone entirely new lifeforms.
This is their offspring.
And this is also their method of reproduction and expansion.
Ye Feng, standing off to the side, was dumbstruck upon learning this information!
"Dear heavens!"
"They're both the dad and the mom!"
Ye Feng squatted down, observing the mechanical turtle-person that was only half a foot tall. Through his communication with the Hexagonal Ancestral Box, he learned that this species actually had a not-half-bad name:
Mechanical Black Tortoise Clan!
"Is this clan's height always like this?"
