"But you need to know that since your beast is now a level 10, you are not ethically allowed to kill any level 4 beasts, Theo. It's an unwritten rule," Lucien explained, making Theo realize that the mantis had just broken a rule without anyone noticing.
"So keep it under control until we reach the ape territory," Lucien added.
They continued walking forward, this time without attacking anything.
Theo had to tell the mantis countless times that it could not kill the boars, at least not while they were still in the lower territory.
And while it was clearly confused and didn't really want to listen to him, the mantis still obeyed Theo's command in the end.
Ten minutes later, Theo noticed the same sign on the ground that he had seen a while ago along the path.
"We are here."
They all took their first step into the new territory, and Theo immediately felt a shiver run down his spine.
