The Xinfei Merchant Guild Guards Fleet and the two Mana Airships led by Xu Yi did not retrace their route after leaving Yara Harbor. Instead, they headed south.
The Guard Frigates traveled at full speed, while the Mana Airships followed high above, maintaining a speed of forty kilometers per hour. They set out from Yara Harbor at dawn and sailed nonstop until dusk, reaching the deep waters of the Endless Sea more than four hundred kilometers offshore.
Xu Yi leaned over the railing and looked at the sea below. He found that the waters here did not look particularly different from those near the coast, and he could still faintly make out traces of the seabed. When he raised his head, he could also see several tiny islands sitting on the distant sea.
"Hey, Leslie, how did you find this place?" Xu Yi turned to ask Leslie beside him.
"Mostly by accident, with a little deliberate effort." Leslie pointed at the sea. "You were just studying the water, weren't you? So you noticed that it wasn't much different from the coastal waters, right?"
"Yes. That suggests we're still on the continental shelf, which means there could still be a large landmass nearby."
"I don't know anything about continental shelves, but the sailors in the fleet know roughly what that means. At first, we were just exploring the southern waters as you instructed. After we noticed something odd about this area, we kept exploring in this direction and stumbled onto something unexpected."
"Really?" Xu Yi turned again and gazed ahead of the fleet, but saw nothing unusual beyond the boundless sea. "How much farther is it to that place?"
"At least another two hundred kilometers. In any case, we won't get there today unless you intend to have us keep sailing
