Neither the torpedoes, the mines, nor the shells from above managed to hinder the Long-Legged's advance. They barely even slowed it down.
Instead, the dismembered sea monsters in the water caused the Long-Legged considerable trouble, because some of the chunks were so large that it could only steer around them.
Two sea monsters even attacked the Long-Legged along the way. One was sliced straight in half by the Rotary Laser Energy-Gathering Cannon's energy-gathering mode, while the other was pierced back and forth by the Great Swordfish Scatter Cannon, leaving dozens of holes clean through it before it stopped moving entirely.
The Great Swordfish Scatter Cannon was indeed powerful underwater. It could actually leave the wielder's hands and pursue targets automatically.
Its scattered fish scales could also be used against torpedoes, making it quite useful-a weapon worthy of its Exceptional grade.
Then there was the Junk Rotary Cannon, for which a new use had been developed.
It had originally been mounted on the fish's tail to guard against attacks from behind, but now it was used more often to drive back the floating corpses drifting up from below.
Especially after they discovered that these sea monster corpses could also serve as ammunition, the Junk Rotary Cannon had barely stopped firing.
The Maw of Gluttony kept passing it chunks of flesh as ammunition, while stuffing some into its own mouth.
Another seven minutes or so passed.
The Long-Legged closed to within five nautical miles of Steam Island.
This was already quite a dangerous distance.
Last time, Yang Yi had entered this range and been blasted by that Fear-Killing Cannon.
But this time was different. The pressure on the Long-Legged dropped sharply, becoming even lighter than before. Many of the guns aboard had even ceased firing, because there were no longer so
