The evolved Shell Pump's thrust was considerable. In just a few seconds, it carried Lin Yuan over a hundred meters.
Meanwhile, through a mysterious connection, Lilia's Coffin floated across that distance along with Lilia, who was tucked under Lin Yuan's arm.
However, while over a hundred meters was no short distance to a human, it was only a little more than one body length to the enormous Horned King Whales.
Boom!
Water exploded into the air.
The Horned King Whale closest to Lin Yuan did not even move from its spot. It simply whipped its tail up from underwater, sending a column of water powerful enough to be called a water cannon straight toward Lin Yuan in midair.
If that enormous water cannon hit him, Lin Yuan would certainly be unable to keep moving forward.
Fortunately, the evolved Power Compartment allowed the Shell Pump to fire continuously. At the critical moment, it unleashed another jet of water, thrusting Lin Yuan sharply aside and out of the intercepting strike's path.
But there was more than one Horned King Whale!
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The other Horned King Whales also slapped up columns of water with their tails to intercept Lin Yuan in midair. For a moment, the scene actually resembled a miniature Ocean Current Explosion!
The Power Compartment only held enough water for seven consecutive bursts from the Shell Pump, after which it had to return to the sea to refill.
Under the Horned King Whales' barrage, Lin Yuan finally exhausted the Shell Pump's bursts. A massive column of water struck him head-on, knocking him out of the air.
Immediately, a Horned King Whale leaped out of the water below, driving its enormous pointed horn toward Lin Yuan!
Instead of stabbing, however, it swept its massive horn upward, seemingly preparing to send
