Spikemoss: "Dragon Cypress... Source Stone... gone..."
Dragon Cypress: "???"
Dragon Cypress: "Spikemoss, what do you mean?"
Spikemoss: "The Source Stones you placed in the Ant Nest—I used them all up when I bloomed."
Dragon Cypress: "Used them all up just like that?"
Spikemoss: "...Not exactly in an instant; it lasted for two days and two nights."
Dragon Cypress: "I..."
Dragon Cypress stomped his foot, his dark green Carapace instantly turning black.
He had painstakingly transported 1,200,000 Source Stones over two months. During these years of growth, some might have been used sporadically, but surely at least 1,000,000 were left, right?
Could blooming really use up 1,000,000 Source Stones?
Dragon Cypress fell silent again.
When Spikemoss's Divine-Given Seed was still just a Seed, it displayed extraordinary abilities. Like Azure, it could command Soldier Ants. It was incredibly intelligent and capable of helping manage the Territory.
