Theo convinced the baron one way or another, but in the end, all that mattered was that the baron agreed and accompanied him to another boar.
The mantis was sitting on Theo's shoulder, which made the baron and Rhys walk really close to him to help if needed.
When Theo reached a boar's territory, the mantis was made to travel close to the boar with its camouflage.
It was able to go through half the distance between them when Rhys notified him that the boar had already looked at it.
With that, Theo felt a little concerned, but in the end, while its camouflage was really good, it was sacrificed for a gland that could generate and spit out a poison.
For him, this was a win, and it showed in the next moves of the mantis.
The boar, even after observing the mantis coming forward, didn't even flinch, and only after it saw the mantis really close did it finally see the menacing crimson red color with black stripes.
