Chapter 677: Chapter 677: Extraction
Vika casually wiped away the insignificant ambush, as if he were just brushing off a speck of dust from his shoulder. His full attention remained firmly locked on the Moonwell and the stabilization anchor before him.
"Deep root separation, begin." His voice was still calm, yet carried an undeniable authority.
Following his command, on the multi-ard machine, two other probes with even more slender tips, shimring with silvery-white runes, slowly reached into the water below the well, aligning themselves with the stabilization anchor.
The engineer wizard’s expression was grim, his hands steadily operating the machinery, eyes fixed on the dozens of floating crystal panels displaying constantly fluctuating data and images in front of him.
"Guide the probes into position, initiate the vascular separation mode."
The tips of the probes lit up with a gentle yet highly penetrating glow, a light that was not aggressive but possessed a peculiar characteristic of analysis and guidance.
On the basis of the initial coupling between the stabilization anchor and the well’s core, these two probes acted like the most dexterous scalpels, beginning to contact and entwine with the invisible and complex energy roots connecting the Moonwell to the depths of the earth.
Duke held his breath, and in his perception, the Moonwell that originally only emitted pure energy fluctuations now seed alive, revealing its energy structure hidden underground like that of a massive ancient tree’s roots.
These roots were not physical but were highly condensed energy veins, following so ancient natural law. They penetrated deeply into the earth’s veins, drawing nutrients from the land, while forming a hidden resonance circuit with the three lunar phases in the sky.
The separation process was agonizingly slow.
The light from the probes cautiously entwined itself around a relatively thin secondary energy root, then slightly trembled at a specific frequency.
This tremor was not destructive but an attempt to achieve resonance with the energy fluctuations of the root itself, then using this resonance, much like untying a knot, to gradually loosen and separate this root from the deep earth energy network.
The light of the well water started to flicker violently, like an irregular heartbeat.
The tremors from the ground beca more pronounced, and one could even hear a deep rumbling from below, akin to the grinding of rocks.
The surrounding air seed to thicken, and the concentrated energies of nature and moonlight began to stir uncomfortably.
Vika’s expression remained unchanged, but his output of Spiritual Power was clearly increasing.
He had to precisely control the resonance frequency and separation force of the probes, as any slight carelessness could lead to the rupture of the energy roots.
That would an a direct damage to the Moonwell’s energy core, greatly diminishing its value, and possibly even triggering an energy outburst.
One, two, three... secondary roots were removed one by one.
With each removal, the light of the well water dimd by a fraction, and the sense of wholeness, once seamlessly integrated with the earth and moonlight, weakened and beca increasingly isolated and fragile.
This process continued for nearly two hours. When over seventy percent of the secondary energy roots were successfully separated, the essence of the Moonwell began to fundantally change.
The pearl-like shimr within the well water started to retract and condense inward, no longer dispersing evenly.
The well water itself seed to beco more viscous, like liquid rcury.
At the core of the well water, where the stabilization anchor pierced the deepest, a dazzling and indescribable core of light began to faintly appear.
This was the Moonwell’s true energy core, the Moonlight Core.
It existed between liquid and crystal, highly condensed, containing the majority of the essence accumulated by this Level 1 Moonwell over hundreds of years.
"The core is revealed, energy instability rising to critical levels." The engineer wizard’s voice was tense and excited, "Stabilization anchor containnt field ready!"
"Inject auxiliary energy, initiate maximum power containnt field!" Vika ordered sternly.
Hundreds of pre-prepared Level 2 Magic Stones were embedded into the special slots at the base of the stabilization anchor.
In an instant, the entire stabilization anchor burst into an unprecedentedly intense brilliance.
All the runes on the anchor seed to co alive, flowing wildly as a powerful, stable, and inwardly compressing force field erged rapidly with the stabilization anchor at its core, gripping the newly revealed, highly unstable Moonlight Core like an invisible giant hand.
"Injecting liquid starlight mithril, configuration start," a Level 2 Mage specializing in alchemy said sternly.
Several specially sealed containers were opened, and the liquid starlight mithril, with a rcury-like sheen yet heavier, flowed down the four tal arms under the ticulous control of the mages. It gathered and stretched about half a ter above the well mouth, rapidly constructing into a hollow, inverted bowl-like structure. The mouth of the bowl faced downward, directly toward the well mouth, with continuously flowing stable runes inside the bowl wall.
Liquid starlight mithril is also a kind of Magic tal, but it is an extrely luxurious and rare variety.
The scattered Moonlight Isolation Powder around was fully activated, forming an almost substantial pale silver light mbrane, completely enclosing the entire well mouth area, cutting off any energy exchange inside and out.
Simultaneously, two other Level 2 Mages worked together to carefully construct a weak spatial fold on the outer side of the silver bowl-like structure.
This was not a true spatial cut, but a spell utilized to temporarily make the local space sticky and inwardly closed, aid at preventing a large-scale escape of well water energy due to structural upheaval during the following operations.
The preparations were complete, and the most critical step arrived.
"Overall lifting, begin." Vika’s gaze was intensely focused, his hands raised as if holding up an invisible mountain.
The four tal arms supporting the liquid mithril bowl began to emit a low, humming sound, as if bearing a great force, rising upwards with extre slowness yet imnse determination.
In sync with this, countless beams of light released through Vika’s stabilization anchor suddenly tightened.
"Buzz——Boom Boom Boom——"
The earth emitted a pained moan.
The land around the well mouth began to heave and crack, as if so colossal entity was being forcefully extracted from beneath the earth.
This was no longer rely energy separation but a complete physical detachnt.
As the tal arms ascended, a breathtaking scene unfolded.
The Moonwell, originally embedded in the ground, first saw its alabaster moonstone rim separate from the surrounding earth.
Next, the column of well water, a highly condensed silver-white glow of pure moonlight energy, alongside the dazzling Moonlight Core at its center, was slowly extracted from deep within the earth by an invisible mighty force.
This well water column was not loose flowing water, but remained in a relatively intact cylindrical shape under the constraint of Vika’s stabilization anchor and magic force field. Its diater matched the well mouth, yet its height far exceeded the depth of the well, as it contained the most essential energy-rich layer connected to the underground energy roots.
