According to my memories, decapitating the lombìdià while keeping his body upside down will drain his blood out within hours.
However, being an exceptional individual, I can do this very easily.
Slinging the njòmbò with a mud chain…

… I lopped off its head with a fire knife.
Blue blood dripped galore, an indigo puddle growing on the soil floor.
The grume reeking of abraded naphtha permeated the atmosphere, leaving it acceptable to bear.
Eight additional mud rings wrung out every liquid in a minute.
Chopping one tentacle in eight parts, four ended on a custom-made barbecue made up of three sticks holding the food together above a tiny rod to kindle some fire.
Wisps of smoke billowed out of my "stove", leaving a rancid smell of clove.
Producing two cozy mud chairs while the tentacles fried, I threw my head back, and closed my eyes…

The garlic stench easing away twenty minutes later coupled with the shallow trail of roasted flesh left the meal waiting to be catered.

… I offered some lombìdià on a skewer to my baby.
Let's see how it tastes.
Crispy, its saltiness cooled my palate, but damn, that was good. "So, do you like it, baby?" I asked Dibìé.
"Yeah, it's fine, although a tad bit salty…"
"Yeah, I noticed that too. At least it's edible…"
We continued to eat, making small talk in between…

"Myaa-ah! My belly's full now, let's go! I can feel a lotta powerful monsters below…" I said, stretching my arms as I unfolded myself.
"Since when can you sense njòmbòs?"
"Since I got the ngùdi from the lombìdià. It's pretty useful actually, I can detect the energy of any organism from … a mile away from me."
"And can you distinguish whom it belongs to?"
"Only those I've met, since I knew where you were without seeing you a while ago."
"So, can you tell the T.M.'s limits?"
"No, that sh*t's pretty big, but I can tell we're not going to go that far, cause I can sense some insane energies below us that would kill us in a heartbeat. We'll stop at the limit of my ability to protect you, OK?"
Dibìé sighed. "All right… Now let me put your wrapper on…"
"Nah … you'll put it on when we're in public … my beautiful flesh is my true attire, along with high-heeled sandals, but we'll fix that later on."
I got an idea!
I should've thought of that before! "Hey babe, you don't have to carry them anymore. Let's see…"

"That's useful, thanks!" Dibìé said as he tucked our goods inside.
"You're welcome, honey … can you use your mind to transport it?"
Dibìé answered by soaring the box behind him.
"All right. By the way, what time is it?"
"10:51…"
"So we got some time! Let's go!"
Dissolving the barbecue and the chairs, we sipped from the pond before we left.
Wasn't better from the river—probably, no definitely worse—but we made do with what we had.
Refusing to waste any time on low-level njòmbò, another junction forced our march in a deeper path.
A few minutes inside our descent, a pother drew below.
As many life forces faded from my senses, we were about to join a battle…
