"Don't correct it. Narrow the monitoring range."
Jiang Yu was remarkably patient. She knew there was no point arguing with an Alchemical Lifeform.

"—Command confirmed again."
As the mechanical-sounding reply rang out, the yellow and green lines on the sand table flashed rapidly and began breaking apart section by section. At the same time, the void-colored area at its center kept expanding in the witch's view:
``` —Command confirmed. Contraction initiated.

The system will terminate real-time data tracking for 138 threatened Wizard Towers—redirecting Magic Power detection beams toward the underground cavity.
"66"
Real-time tracking of frontline Wizard Towers—terminated.
Dynamic monitoring of the Spirits tide outside Forward Camp—terminated.
Defense-system monitoring in the ordered region has entered low-function mode. Checks on Wizard Tower defenses in the peripheral region—terminated.

—Relevant data has been stored in the temporary record area. Passive data will be recorded directly in the cache and retained for 24 hours. If monitoring is not restored within 24 hours, the cache will be overwritten.

—Detection beams redirected: underground cavity detected beneath the center of Xuanhuang Small World. Depth: 125 zhang. Direction: directly below. Deviation: 0.0 degrees.
"4"
Initiating triple-redundancy scan—scan modes: Armor-Piercing Pulse, Harmonic Resonance, Phase Delay—detection beams have penetrated the surface, penetrated the rock layer, penetrated the Earth Vein interference layer—
Entering cavity boundary.
Warning: abnormal attenuation of detection beams at the cavity boundary.
"6"
Attenuation rate: 7.3%. Normal attenuation rate should be below 0.3%—abnormal attenuation exceeds the normal value by a factor of 24.
Detection-beam return signal—lost.
Repeat. Detection-beam return signal lost.
"66"
No valid echoes received from inside the cavity.
—Conclusion: the cavity has
