Sphere after sphere, Reilo and Jueyin began to collect the abundant solution in the area in earnest. Nearly three days had passed.
By now, Reilo had gathered more than enough solution to sustain Lola's needs, with plenty left over—enough to extend the lives of three people by a thousand years.
The old flounder monster had collected about the same amount.
