While Clara was fixating on things like how an insect could kill a beast like that, Theo stared at the mantis with pride.
It felt like fate that he had met and tamed a creature like this. At this point, he was sure that not choosing the tarantula as his first tamed beast had been the right decision.
The mantis was done cleaning itself now; it had started eating the long and thick body of the viper aggressively. At first, the scales were not coming off just from its bites, so it became creative and went for the chopped part where the flesh and blood were exposed.
"Should I let it eat the corpse, Clara? It's poisonous, right?" Theo asked, making Clara come out of her trance.
"The poison is not in the whole body, just in the fangs and a small sack filled with venom inside its body. It should be fine, as beasts are quite intelligent at detecting poison if there is any."
"Hmm, alright."
