Another resurrection?

Chen Fan's heart skipped a beat.

A strong sense of unease filled his mind.

Based on past experience, the rewards given by the game system always followed a pattern.

Whether it was the previous new dungeon or the new warship, this was always the case.

However, in this relic defense battle, the system had given him two items for on-the-spot resurrection.

Did this signify that he would face the threat of death multiple times?

Or was it just a coincidence?

After all, if he hadn't been so curious and had simply ordered the Mechanical Dragon to scour the ground and wipe out all the Players, he wouldn't have obtained Indestructible Golden Body.

After a moment of thought, Chen Fan shook his head.

Indestructible Golden Body could be considered an accident, but the immortal guardian was truly handed to him by the system.

After all, the Meat Mountain, which required six nuclear missiles to kill, might not even be defeated if a region's Players focused all their fire on it for an entire day.

As it stood, only he could kill the Meat Mountain and obtain the treasure.

Thinking of this, a trace of gloom flashed in Chen Fan's eyes.

He irritably flipped through the shell casings belonging to District 3300.

A strange thing happened.

The information connected to these shell casings had all turned gray.

In other words, the owners of the shell casings had all logged off.

Are you that cautious? Not only you guys, but even those 300,000 elites haven't fired a single shot?

Chen Fan was a bit surprised.

Could it be that Tian Yan had already foreseen that he would be able to steal his skill?

After a moment of thought, Chen Fan shook his head.

The trail had gone cold, so he could only let them go for now and continue to the next stop.

The fleet sped along, and Chen Fan's thoughts raced, considering every possibility.

However, Chen Fan had overestimated Tian Yan this time.

He not only hadn't expected his skill to be stolen, but he hadn't even expected Chen Fan to be able to find his location.

After all, not only were they not on their own destroyer, but their location had been carefully planned.

Surrounding them were nothing but identical patrol boats.

Even if one could detect their surroundings, they would be confused by the repeatedly appearing warships.

But what Tian Yan never expected was that Chen Fan's Exploration had already been upgraded to be released through the eyes of the Crew Member.

Kuka, hiding in the clouds, was also extremely lucky; the first place he stopped was the very sea area where they were hiding.

So, as they say, luck is a strange thing.

Sometimes, it's hard to judge...

On the other side.

Tian Yan and the others had sent out all their Crew Members, and they themselves had joined in the work of building the main city.

This was the only reason they managed to build the new main city just minutes before the original one was destroyed.

As they slumped to the ground, panting heavily, before they even had time to discuss anything.

A system voice rang out in Tian Yan's mind.

[The first main city in District 3300 has been destroyed; only one main city currently remains.]

Tian Yan's pupils constricted, and a look of relief appeared on his face.

The main city was destroyed. It's a good thing we acted quickly, otherwise, the consequences would have been unimaginable.

When this was said, the other five people shuddered and subconsciously opened the regional channel.

The dense mass of gray avatars made their scalps tingle.

Bo... Boss, how many people are left in our district?

Old Ghost's lips were trembling slightly.

The others also looked over with anxious expressions.

Tian Yan swallowed his saliva and difficultly opened the system interface.

The number displayed in the regional population column made his breath hitch.

300,000...

Hiss...

This china, it's really f*cking ruthless.

china, District One, I will be at odds with you forever!

Definitely. As soon as we find an opportunity, we will slaughter everyone in District One.

Swift Shadow moved his lips, not saying anything to vent his anger, but instead looked at Tian Yan:

How do you plan to arrange the remaining 300,000 elites?

Tian Yan took a deep breath. Let them float outside for now. Seven days later, we'll have them come over.

Then... what if there's a monster siege?

Hearing this, Tian Yan's tone hitched, and a wave of bitterness rose in his heart.

He was, after all, the boss of the second strongest region in the game, with 300,000 elites ready to obey orders at any time.

Under these circumstances, he still had to consider how to defend the city to clear the level.

The most fatal thing was that, with just the six of them, they really couldn't defend it...

Are you sure they didn't fire?

Swift Shadow nodded. I've counted. They were all hiding in the back row and didn't enter the range, so naturally, they didn't fire. It was just other ordinary Players who sneaked up and opened fire.

Those idiots!

Tian Yan cursed angrily, then took a deep breath: Wait a bit longer. We six can handle the first few waves of monsters. Once it's confirmed that there's a monster siege, it won't be too late to let them come over.

Swift Shadow pondered for a moment and nodded again. Good idea. If there are no monsters tomorrow during the day, we can drag it out for a while longer.

Yes, we can judge china's movements through the system prompts.

After he wipes out the other districts, if those 300,000 Players are still safe, then it proves he has returned.

That's all we can do...

Although this judgment was very far-fetched, they could only think this way.

After all, they absolutely could not hold out against the next wave of monster siege with just the six of them.

Just at this moment.

[Ding!]

[The main city in District 1789 has been destroyed; the relic defense has failed.]

The system sound rang out, which actually made them breathe a sigh of relief.

It seems he didn't come to find us, nor did he find our 300,000 elites.

Yeah, I guess he really can't locate us.

Several people sat around the table, watching the sky gradually brighten, waiting anxiously.

A few more hours passed.

[Ding!]

[The main city in District 10 has been destroyed; the relic defense has failed.]

They kept the world channel open, carefully watching the feedback from these districts.

Damn it, the sky is already bright, and you can see his fleet from far away, but we were just one step too slow, and 500,000 of our people were wiped out.

...A bit exaggerated.

Are you guys stupid? Don't you know how to run away?

Who is willing to just run away? What if he can't find us?

...

You guys are awesome.

The news of District 10's elimination seemed to trigger a chain reaction.

The remaining few districts didn't even wait for Chen Fan to come looking for them; they exited the dungeon directly.

[The main city in District 50 has been destroyed; the relic defense has failed.]

[The main city in District 2288 has been destroyed; the relic defense has failed.]

[...]

Holy crap, that's not playing by the rules?
