She was taken aback, two thought centers, what's that? But then it came to her, he was talking about the amalgamation of thoughts in the head were they were directing their telepathy.
'So how does that help?' she asked now that she knew what he meant.
"I can think faster and I think I got the ability to have two conscious thought's at once" he said
'Hmm... I don't understand, maybe I should just do what he did and I will also know' She pondered
"Yes, you should because I'm also stronger now. You should eat the rest while I get used to this new form."
'OK'

The rest of a couple of days the male centipede got used to his now giant body and also mana. Apparently now he can coat his body with mana just like the bear but not with fire but crushed rocks that get condensed around his soft parts, without hindering him because they float a little, because he thought he doesn't need extra armor around the hard parts. But he does coat his attacks, though not with rocks but a weird shiny mana that feels that extends the limb a little and makes it easier to pass trough objects, splitting them in the process.
The female got in feasting frenzy of eating, running around and eating again. Thus she quickly got through the remaining meat, triggering multiple moltings. But when the meat ended she didn't have here long molting yet.
So they lest the cave and got to hunting. it was also time to see the results of the changes to him.
Any enemy that was found and wasn't at the level of the bear was quickly taken care for by him getting him some interesting results.
Small animals were directly split in two, even with the transformed antennae. Medium size animals were not split with one strike, but were definitely lethal, one snake got in frontal confrontation with him. they were face to face, they both lunged, the centipede was a bit lower in jump height and attacked with mana infused antennae, splitting the snake's head and continuing until half way to it's center.
The mana efficiency was to good, he could only use the armor three times and strikes six, fortunately they found prey slow enough for this weakness to be inconsequential.
After all his killing and her eating finally paid of and she finally had her big molting session
But they hadn't found shelter yet, so he used his mana to make a burrow, though it was only big enough for her since his mana was crap.
