259: Chapter 259 Another Defeat

In a corner behind the coalition forces.

Tian Yan's left hand trembled slightly as he tightly gripped a bullet casing.

However, the images that would normally appear in his mind were now pitch black.

"My skill... disappeared?"

He swallowed hard, his eyelids twitching uncontrollably as his gaze swept toward the Talent interface.

[Current Talent: Perception (Unavailable, Countdown: 7 days) + Blink (S) Rank.]

"Seven days? Was my skill copied?"

"No, that's not right. Setting Sun's copy ability only grants the same power; it doesn't disable others' skills."

"Why did my skill stop working after he copied my Talent?"

Tian Yan's pupils gradually dilated as a terrifying guess surfaced in his mind.

"Could it be that china's Talent is higher than S-Rank?"

Thinking of this, his breathing grew rapid.

A long time passed.

Looking at the messages popping up in the core group chat, he took a deep breath:

"Brothers, we need to leave."

Immediately, Frenzied Demon became anxious: "He shouldn't be able to find us now, and the Mechanical Dragon is also under control, so why leave?"

"That's right. This is china's weakest moment. If we don't kill him now, we might not get another chance like this."

Even the usually calm Swift Shadow became anxious.

If they weren't already separated, he would have wanted to knock on Tian Yan's head to see if he was possessed.

However, Tian Yan said in a grave tone, "You know he copied my skill, right?"

"I know. So what?" Frenzied Demon dismissed it.

Tian Yan swallowed and continued, "After he copied it, my Perception became unusable. I have to wait seven days."

"..."

The others' brains instantly crashed.

They didn't quite grasp what "unusable" meant.

"So, I suspect that china's Talent rank is not S, but a higher SS-Rank!"

"Hiss..."

"Brother Xiao Yan, if your Perception were upgraded to SS-Rank, what would the effect be?"

Tian Yan shook his head. "How would I know? But one of the effects is to prohibit the person copied from using their skill."

Old Ghost's teeth chattered slightly as he said tremblingly, "Could it be that it doesn't need resources and can directly locate us?"

"No way..."

"Damn it, we should run. If he really locates us, never mind china arriving in person; just one breath from the Mechanical Dragon or one round of concentrated fire from the annihilation ship would turn us all into dust."

"Holy crap, do you think it's possible that china has already located us, but he can't kill us all alone, so he's waiting for the annihilation ship and the Mechanical Dragon to get into position?"

As soon as he finished speaking, all six felt a chill down their spines. They instinctively looked up at the Mechanical Dragon frozen in the sky.

"Brother Xiao Yan, how about... we run?"

"Yeah, run!"

"Don't panic."

Tian Yan took a deep breath and said quickly, "We'll run during the next volley. china shouldn't notice us."

"Hmm."

"..."

Soon, the sound of another round of concentrated fire rang out.

The six of them didn't notify the players in Zone 3300. Instead, they each chose a different direction and followed the queues of players quietly fleeing.

Only after they were far away from the coalition formation and saw no one pursuing them did they heave a sigh of relief.

They ran even further before they dared to notify the players in Zone 3300.

Just as the players from Zone 3300 were evacuating on a large scale.

Tian Yan instinctively looked back and immediately felt a chill down his spine.

The Mechanical Dragon that had been frozen in the sky had actually regained movement and dove into the player formation.

With just one breath of fire, nearly 200,000 patrol boats were destroyed in an instant.

"Did Demon King's Demon Claws fail?"

"Or has he been found by china?"

Muttering these words, Tian Yan dared not stay any longer and fled at full speed.

On the other side.

The moment the Mechanical Dragon regained movement, Chen Fan noticed it.

His expression shifted, and he immediately asked, "Aisha, in which area was the last Charm released?"

"Right here." Aisha made a mark for Chen Fan, outlining an area.

Chen Fan's eyes flashed, and he activated Exploration again.

With a fixed area, it was much easier to search.

A few minutes later, the corners of Chen Fan's mouth curled up slightly.

With a cold sneer, his figure vanished.

In the direction he was rapidly approaching.

An unremarkable patrol boat was parked within the encirclement.

Demon King felt a moment of daze, blinked, and secretly thought, "Not good."

"Why did I suddenly daze out? The Demon Claws have also stopped working."

Just then, curses erupted in the group chat:

"@Demon King, are you useless? Didn't you say you could control it for ten minutes? Why did it end after just this short time?"

"Damn it, isn't this screwing us over? If you don't have the ability, why act all high and mighty?"

The continuous cursing made Demon King, who was originally preparing to explain, instantly furious:

"Damn it, no matter how bad I am, I still followed! You bunch of trash, besides hiding in your islands directing traffic, what else can you do?"

After cursing, he still didn't feel satisfied and added, "If you keep nagging at me, I'm just going to leave."

This caused the group to explode.

Everyone who could enter the command group was a regional boss or a regional elite.

They couldn't even tolerate being scolded a few times by Setting Sun before, so they started flaming back immediately, let alone this small fry Demon King who joined later.

"Who the hell are you acting arrogant with? If your Talent didn't have some strategic significance, would we have agreed to let you into the group?"

"With a trash zone like yours, you haven't even fully upgraded your medium patrol boats. You should take a look at yourselves in a mirror, bah!"

"In my opinion, Zone 1945 seems to have a lot of complaints about us? How about we kick them out?"

"Kick them! Who is the group owner? Kick this trash zone out of the coalition group."

"@Demon King, I'll give you one last chance. Kneel down and apologize, otherwise I'll be the first to go and wipe out your zone."

The big shots in the coalition group were all denouncing Demon King one after another.

But to their shock, right under their eyes and amidst their verbal attacks, Demon King's avatar turned gray.

"..."

"Dude, we told you to apologize, and you log off?"

"Wait, hold on. Log off?"

"Holy crap!!!"

"Is it haunted?"

"Haunted my ass. It's probably china who found him."

"Brothers, let's have the fleet retreat. Let's stop this."

"That's right. The Mechanical Dragon can move, and even Demon King has logged off. If we wait any longer for the annihilation ship's disarm to wear off, it'll be even harder to deal with."

"A mosquito is still meat. All these warships being sunk is no small loss. Anyway, I'm letting the players in my zone run first."

"Same, running."

...

Chen Fan looked at the blood mist in the glass bottle, nodded slightly, and put it into his space.

"Another control-type S-Rank."

"Unfortunately, I still haven't found Xiong Ao's location."

Chen Fan looked at the sky.

The Mechanical Dragon breathed out another flame, burning nearly 200,000 patrol boats.

This strike was like the straw that broke the camel's back.

The coalition warships were routed.
