Amid the residents' cheers, Lin Yuan cleared out the sea beasts on every island.
But Lin Yuan knew that this only treated the symptoms, not the root cause.
As long as the turmoil in the sea continued, new sea beasts could rush onto the islands at any moment.
And for now, there was no sign whatsoever of the turmoil in the sea subsiding.
"This can't go on."
After returning to the island where Zhang Da lived, Lin Yuan sought out Zhang Da and several other residents with the highest standing on the island and said bluntly:
"I have no way to keep watch over so many islands all the time."

If sea beasts invaded the other islands again afterward, he would have no choice but to swim over through the sea.
The Shell Pump was by no means slow on the sea, moving twice as fast as the fastest motorboat, but it still fell far short of flying through the sky.
