Six hours later and Resh's HP was over 100 and it was ready for another go with the Ant Colony. If it waited any longer then it would have a slower recovery rate since it would be nighttime. At the very least it would get to the threshold where it could evolve again, and get something better and stronger hopefully.
Legs of the Squitter has increased to Level 9!
You have Absorbed and Digested 54g of Soil and Ground Material. Your Weight is now 363.34g and your Volume has increased to 165.15cm3.
Resh was ready for the Anthill and with daylight to spare. If thing went badly this time Resh had planned ahead and it would have an hour of daylight at least to recover some of its Health. Keeping Photosynthesis active on HP recovery Resh inched its way back to the colony. This time managing to Absorb and Digest everything on the surface of the mound as well as extending its body into some of the holes, it kept going until it maxed out its level. It didn't take long and this time it got more Workers than Soldiers as well. It must have Absorbed many of them in the first round.
You have Absorbed 8254 Worker Ants and 284 Soldier Ants! You have gained 110 Exp!

Success!!!
With that elated thought buoying it up it decided to take its win and literally run. The last stranglers got Absorbed and Digested as well. Within a minute it was out of range and safe from the Ant Bites, it had lost around 54HP and so had come out better than the previous fight with the Colony.
Now it could evolve and get stronger.....that was when it remembered its fear of evolving. It would not willingly put itself through that pain again...but how could it not. It needed to get stronger otherwise it would be stuck here forever. It was not willing to do that either. It was stuck in a moment of indecision. At least it could look at its evolutionary options. It had dismissed the message at the time since it was fleeing from the Ant Colony.
