'I, hungry' said the elegant one, the female, through the telepathic link.
The brute, the male one, points at his molted carapace.
'some food, after, leave, together' said the male.
'Yes' said the female and started eating.
At the entrance of the opening they gaze at the waterfall.
'Go, back, same way' said the female.
'Yes'
-----
After about 20 minutes of backtracking they arrived at the borrow of the rodents, but a new occupant is present, a glowing molting black snake twice as big as the male.
'DANGER' shouted the male panicking slightly.
'Calm, no danger, still, molting, easy prey, both, attack, poison, stronger' reassured the female and started approaching the snake nimbly.
The male took the other side and they attacked together at the neck of the snake from each side stopping it's glow abruptly causing the snake to wake and hiss at the pain of both the bites and it's burning insides.
The snake out of reflex tried to hit the at the wall but the female let go and dodge to the front of the snake making it try to attack her with a bite but failed, because the male used it's new grown legs in tandem with the old to force a change in direction making the snake to miss the mark and hit the floor with significant force causing it turn dizzy.
The female then got behind the snake again an struck with her poisonous claws .
The snake swayed back and forth then going limb, finally succumbing to the poison.
'You, fine?' asked the male in concern.
'Yes' answered the female and started eating from the neck of the snake towards the tail.
The male got straight to the head and started munching.
~Krrrrr~
The sounds of eating the scales of the snake resounded within the burrow.
Finally the female got to the heart that was a very faint light but releasing a very appetizing smell for her and without waiting she ate it.
when se finished she felt a warm energy in her body then words started appearing in her mind and same of the energy turned cool.
The warm energy got to her whole body and nourished it causing to grow with a ~Crack~
The cool energy went inside her head congealing there and then spreading thin tendrils of it to her limps from inside and her carapace from outside forming groves on it with a dim crimson color.
When the whole ordeal ended the crimson glow subsided and her mind felt clearer, her thoughts faster, not by much but enough to be noticeable.
The same thing happened to the male to when it finished the head but it was les and it didn't cause to molt so it kept going until the poison suck that glow a deep disgusting yellow, though the male wasn't of the same opinion because of it's alluring smell.
During the digestion of the sack the male felt a extremely burning feeling in it's stomach though it quickly subsided to warm and cool energy with only half of the burning energy disappearing, or more appropriately converting to the other two energies.
The procedure was the same with female except the tendrils of the cool energy didn't randomly spread but went trough a preexisting path that only now he became aware of.
The paths are constructs similar to the bone she ate and molted but they are more flexible than bones thus not being a hindrance to his movement.
The burning energy also strengthened his organs primarily his stomach making it more durable and the acid stronger, maybe in the future it could become an attack.
When the sensations stopped he could feel it a little bit more and he would molt again so he started eating the bones and flesh the female left behind while she continued eating along the length of snake.
