In the mid-afternoon, Northern Gorgon began to accelerate its absorption of Origin Force.
The usual method: assign Specialized Blue Soldiers to carry Large Worker Ants, gripping Source Stones, standing beneath the offshoots, scraping off Source Stone powder and scattering it on the water surface.
As the Origin Force is released, it is instantly absorbed by the densely distributed Gorgon Fruit leaves.
If the powder sinks to the bottom, it becomes the best nutrient for the Divine-Given Northern Gorgon Seed's growth.
Giant Cypress returned to the nest, marshaling Soldier Ants to strengthen the reservoir's defenses.
Round Cypress arrived with Worker Ants in tow.
Spiked Cypress sensed the commotion and hurried over to join the crowd.
A massive, dark swarm gathered, waiting expectantly on the hillside by the reservoir.
By nightfall, 400 pieces of Source Stone had been used up.
