It was clear that Hera instinctively reached out to stop her, but she withdrew her hand without changing her expression.
Hera placed her severed thumb on her hand, and her right thumb immediately grew back.
Coco and Han Xiaoxiao came closer to look at the thumb in Hera's hand.
The thumb began to slowly melt into a black, viscous liquid, and then began to be shaped.
In less than ten seconds, the thumb slowly transformed into a strange insect that looked somewhat like a centipede.
This insect is the very insect Hera transformed from when she lived among the ants.
This insect is shaped somewhat like an earthworm, except that it is covered with a black exoskeleton like an ant.
It has several ant-like legs, and at the very front, it has a pair of mantis-like forelimbs.
The whole insect looks strange and comical, yet it also has a hint of ferocity.
"Wow, it really works!" Coco's eyes lit up as she looked at the strange insect in Hera's hand with great curiosity.
Han Xiaoxiao was also shocked; it seemed that the Symbiotes were even more powerful than she had imagined.
"Can it move?" Coco asked Hera excitedly.
Hera nodded slightly, and at the same time, the insect in her hand also nodded slightly.
"Wow!" Coco exclaimed happily, like a child who had a new toy.
"H-Hera, can I put my hands in hers?" Coco stretched out her two little hands, her face full of excitement.
Hera nodded again, and then the insect in her hand crawled onto Coco's hand.
Han Xiaoxiao felt a chill run down her spine. Generally speaking, girls are very afraid of insects, especially insects with such unusual appearances.
But she didn't expect that Coco, who was so timid, wasn't afraid at all.
Coco held the insect in front of her and observed it carefully, her cheeks slowly turning red.
"Sister Hera, can it live forever?" Coco asked, her voice trembling with excitement.
"They will starve to death."
"So you're saying that if I feed it, it can live forever, right?"
Hera nodded. To be honest, Hera didn't know if this thing had a lifespan limit, because she herself didn't know if she would die of old age.
After all, I've only lived for half a year at most.
Then, the insect jumped off Coco's hand and returned to Hera's hand.
Coco was a little disappointed, but still looked at the insect in Hera's hand with a happy expression.
Hera held the insect in her left hand and rummaged in her pocket with her right hand, taking out the only two candies she had left.
After thinking for a moment, I put one of them back, then opened the other package and handed it to the insect.
The insect took the fruit candy and ate it in two bites.
The insect's size began to change drastically; what was originally only the size of a thumb quickly grew to the size of a palm.
However, due to its excessive size and weight, it could not support itself, and the entire insect lay paralyzed on Hera's hand, as if it were dead.
Then it slowly began to melt and wriggle, transforming from an insect into a small black snake.
"Ew!" Coco took two steps back, looking somewhat disgusted and frightened. "I still prefer the look of insects."
"I actually think it looks more comfortable this way." Han Xiaoxiao looked at the little black snake and felt it was much more pleasing to the eye; at least she didn't find it disgusting.
"Hera, are you controlling it, or does it have its own independent thoughts?" Han Xiaoxiao looked at the small black snake in Hera's hand, which was still flicking its tongue, with some curiosity.
“Yes, I have both,” Hera said after thinking for a moment.
"So, do you two share a field of vision?"
"Um."
Are there any distance restrictions?
"No."
Coco and Han Xiaoxiao exchanged a glance, both seeing surprise in each other's eyes.
They seem to have discovered a special use for Hera's abilities.
"Then, Hera, if we keep feeding this little snake, will it turn into another Hera?" This time it was Coco who asked.
"Can."
Coco fell into thought, "Then which of you two is the real Hera?"
“Yes, all of them,” Hera replied without hesitation.
At this moment, Han Xiaoxiao seemed to suddenly remember something and hurriedly spoke up.
"So, if your physical body dies but it still lives, then you won't die either, right?"
“Yes.” Hera nodded.
The two women's eyes widened instantly. They had thought Hera's ability to regenerate almost infinitely was already abnormal enough.
But her ability turned out to be even more bizarre!
In other words, you just need to cut off a small piece of your own flesh before the battle and place it in a safe place.
So even if you die in battle, you can be resurrected through that piece of flesh.
In a sense, Hera is immortal.
The two swallowed hard, both shocked by their own conjecture.
"By the way, Hera, what are you going to do with this snake now? Are you just going to leave it?" Han Xiaoxiao asked after a while.
“Yeah, Hera, you wouldn’t eat it, would you…” Coco asked cautiously.
Seeing Hera shake her head, the two of them breathed a sigh of relief.
Then, the small black snake in her hand slowly turned into black liquid and melted into Hera's hand.
"I didn't know you could do that. That's really advanced."
Just as the three were discussing, Ye Yiqing emerged from the bushes carrying a rabbit.
Upon seeing the rabbit in Ye Yiqing's hand, Coco's eyes lit up immediately. "Wow, you're back so soon!"
"Yes, we found it after walking for a short while. Although I don't know why there are wild rabbits here, at least we have something to eat tonight." Ye Yiqing put down the dead rabbit.
