Yang Yi explained the situation to Yu Dawei as well, then plunged into the water. After passing through several valves, he entered the sea.
The gradual changes in water pressure still put Yang Yi under strain, but thanks to the Sharkskin Swimsuit, he could withstand it.
"If I'd known, I would've just stayed in the sea..."
Yang Yi grumbled. The Abyss Potion's effect only lasted until he left the sea, so the moment he entered Steam Island and set foot on land, it had worn off.
For that same reason, his mobility underwater had dropped sharply, and he was no longer immune to the currents, putting him at a much greater disadvantage against the Wind Fly.
He drew the Broken Iron Greatsword and, with its tip leading the way, plunged into the Fang Leviathan's flesh. The dark purple flesh had lost its toughness, and with Broken Iron's effect, cutting through it was as effortless as slicing butter with a hot knife.
After swimming upward at full speed for about half an hour, he burst out of the Fang Leviathan's body ahead of Steam Island and entered the ink-black depths.
Meanwhile, through Seerte in the Storm Link, he gained a clearer picture of the situation in the Storm Sea.
About four hours earlier, the wind at sea had suddenly intensified, carrying the Shelter forward and bringing it to the rendezvous point ahead of schedule.
But after it arrived, the wind had not weakened. It kept growing stronger until even the Shelter could no longer hold its position in the gale. The wind had been driving it forward ever since.
"Looks like the Wind Fly is still on its way. I just don't know how many of its heads are coming, or whether its main body is coming too..."
Yang Yi pondered
