Silver Cypress is helping to guard the Kiwifruit Mountain territory, and the two little guys, Blue Catalpa and Snakebark Maple, are in no hurry to go back.
Dragon Cypress keeps to the King Nest, lying on the Dominating Throne, eating Origin Force Food, focusing on recuperation.
Three days later, there are signs of evolution.
Two days after that, feeling groggy, Dragon Cypress assigns Giant Cypress to lead the Soldier Ants to guard outside the nest, times it carefully, and falls asleep at nightfall.
Awake.
The old shell is shed, the body swells, the new shell hardens, the body length settles just over 1.3 meters.
Feels similar to just taking a nap—somewhat hungry and a touch weak.
Dragon Cypress buries its head and spits out the fully matured Black Lotus Life Seed, draws a slit on the seed coat with the tip of a toe, activates the 'Boiling' ability to heat up the clean water prepared in the Bamboo Tube, and soaks the seed in warm water.
