Chapter 384: Chapter 376 The Gorgeous Array of Insect Pets_1

Qin Niu fed it mostly iron and copper, these two metals being comparatively cheap.

Because the price of these metals was relatively low,

he really couldn't bear to feed it gold or Silver Money directly.

Despite its small size, its appetite was quite substantial.

In the beginning, feeding it a copper coin could sustain it for one to two days.

Now, as its body continued to grow and its digestive capacity seemed to be increasing, it needed to devour twenty-one copper coins a day. If it ate ordinary black iron, it could consume about three taels a day.

Moreover, its appetite was still growing.

Every day, after consuming so much metal, its excrement resembled slag.

It looked like waste slag poured from a smelting furnace.
