He couldn't summon Cynthia, and he had fewer rare cards than the top seven players. After the Shepherd entered the battle scene, he had long lost the will to fight the top seven players. He only wanted to stall for time and find an opportunity to kill one or two of the top ten players at the end to improve his ranking.
Being chased was within his expectations. After all, he was the easiest person to bully in the top ten.
Even with the scanning skill, it wasn't easy to chase someone in the open grassland.
The grass on the grassland was very tall, reaching up to half his waist. With the uneven terrain and the cover of some shrubs, the Shepherd thought it wouldn't be easy to catch up to him. If he was lucky, it wouldn't be difficult to shake off the enemy's pursuit.
However, the Shepherd found out that it was Chen Mo who was chasing after him. No matter how hard he tried, not only was he unable to shake off Chen Mo, but he was also getting closer and closer.
Guessing that Chen Mo might have used the scanning skill to detect his position, the Shepherd changed his direction again.
But this time, he didn't walk far before a familiar figure appeared in front of him.
It wasn't Chen Mo, but Ceci Hailow.
The Shepherd had also scanned Chen Mo's position. Of course, he wouldn't let Chen Mo go around to the front.
However, under Chen Mo's instructions, Ceci Hailow finally succeeded in blocking the Shepherd's path after several attempts.
Against others, the Shepherd felt that he might have a chance of winning. But against Chen Mo, he had no chance at all.
Cynthia was still there, but he lost to Chen Mo. Now, he couldn't use Cynthia, and he didn't have as many cards as Chen Mo. Once Chen Mo caught up with him, he would die.
Camouflage!
However, the Shepherd was also a Hunter. He also knew the Camouflage skill. When he fought Chen Mo, he didn't use it because it would be meaningless.
He was a Pet Logistics Hunter. Even if he could hide, once his pet was killed, he would lose his ability to fight. Once the Camouflage skill was removed, he would still be dead. Therefore, he chose to shapeshift into a beast and fight Chen Mo head-on. He might have a chance.
Now that he faced Ceci Hailow, the Shepherd used Camouflage without hesitation before she could attack.
There was a forest nearby. As long as he used Camouflage and carefully moved out of Ceci Hailow's field of vision, he would still have a chance to escape.
As for Chen Mo, the Shepherd felt that he wouldn't catch up so quickly. Even if he did, he could only use Camouflage to escape.
In reality, Chen Mo wasn't too far away from the Shepherd. Through Ceci Hailow's vision, Chen Mo saw the Shepherd use Camouflage.
Scan!
Chen Mo chuckled as he used Scan.
He already knew that the Shepherd would use Camouflage to escape if Ceci Hailow caught up to him. Therefore, he had been thinking of ways to kill the Shepherd to reset Scan.
With Chen Mo's current damage, he only needed to use the Sea Phantom Spear to kill someone. Every time he used Scan, he would kill someone along the way before chasing after the Shepherd.
The Shepherd's position was exposed as soon as he used Scan.
While in Camouflage, a Hunter's movement speed would be greatly reduced. After the Shepherd used Camouflage, Ceci Hailow ran towards the Shepherd's original position. Chen Mo used Scan to determine the Shepherd's position. Ceci Hailow immediately used Swift Shadow Assault to kill an empty space in front of her.
-2100!
A purple damage figure floated up. Ceci Hailow's attack was a critical hit. However, the Shepherd's Dark Gold armor flashed once again, greatly reducing the damage dealt by Ceci Hailow.
However, the Shepherd's Camouflage had been broken, and his body was exposed.
The Shepherd stared at Ceci Hailow in disbelief.
Ceci Hailow's attack had been very accurate. It definitely wasn't a matter of luck.
With his Camouflage broken, the Shepherd didn't have time to think about how Ceci Hailow knew his precise position. Even if she did, it would be pointless.
"Dunes, this adventurer you brought is really strong. His follower really is Ceci Hailow!"
"Yeah, it seems like this Shepherd adventurer is going to stop at eighth place."
In the circular hall, everyone was staring at the competition. It wouldn't take long for the top ten to be decided.
Among them, the battles between the Blood Paladin and Endless Arcane Mage, as well as the Wild Panther Lady and the Mummy attracted a lot of attention. The two battles were about to erupt.
Chen Mo and the Shepherd had been chasing after each other for a long time, but they couldn't catch up to each other. However, Chen Mo and Ceci Hailow's performance had exceeded many people's expectations. Especially when Ceci Hailow and Chen Mo were very far away from each other, but she was still able to chase after the Shepherd. In the end, she successfully intercepted the Shepherd and forced him to use his Camouflage skill.
When the spectators thought that the Shepherd would run away again, Ceci Hailow accurately pinpointed the Shepherd's position, causing many people's eyes to light up.
They didn't know how Ceci Hailow found the Shepherd. Seeing Ceci Hailow's performance, some of them were sure that this elemental pet was Ceci Hailow.
"Everyone, please don't laugh at me. I was just a little lucky to find this adventurer to participate in the competition." Dunes laughed.
However, if Dunes had a choice, he would rather have never seen this guy. If it wasn't for this guy always causing trouble for him, he wouldn't even care about the ranking of the City of Sin's competition.
In the game, the Shepherd's Camouflage was broken by Ceci Hailow, but he wouldn't just sit there and wait for death.
With a dark expression, the Shepherd summoned his four pets, including the White Jade Elephant and the Golden Lion.
The four pets could still hold back Ceci Hailow and buy him time to escape.
Hurricane!
However, under Chen Mo's instruction, Ceci Hailow immediately used the Hurricane skill.
With the Shepherd's current HP, as long as he was sucked into the Hurricane skill, he would be finished off immediately.
The Shepherd was shocked when the Hurricane appeared. He knew how terrifying the damage of the skill was. If he was sucked into the Hurricane, he would definitely die.
"Shapeshift!"
The Shepherd reacted quickly. The moment he was about to be sucked into the Hurricane, he shapeshifted with the Golden Lion.
His HP instantly soared to 40,000!
As he was sucked into the Hurricane, his HP began to drop rapidly. However, he only lost about 5,000 HP. He still had 35,000 HP left.
After shapeshifting with the Golden Lion, his movement speed also increased by a notch.
After five seconds, the Shepherd escaped from the Hurricane's control. He immediately ordered his three pets to hold back Ceci Hailow while he escaped.
Ceci Hailow wasn't in a hurry. It seemed that she was really being held back by the three pets. The Shepherd successfully escaped some distance away.
With the speed after shapeshifting, it would only take some time for him to successfully escape again with the help of cover.
In the circular hall, Auglas couldn't help but laugh when he saw that the Shepherd was able to get rid of Ceci Hailow again. "Hehe, Dunes, it seems that your people are still a little short of killing my people first."
Everyone thought that his people were dead, but if the Shepherd didn't die, it would be a slap in the face for these people.
However, as soon as he finished speaking, he looked at the magic screen in front of him and his smile suddenly froze.
On the grassland, Ceci Hailow, who was being held back by the three pets, suddenly increased her speed. She made a feint and made a fake move to lead the three pets to surround her. Then she used her abnormal speed to break through the encirclement of the three pets and quickly chased after the Shepherd like the wind!
This was a speed skill. After using it, her movement speed would increase by 50% for a short time. With the speed of the Shepherd's three pets, without the command of the Shepherd, of course, they couldn't hold her back.
The Shepherd, who had just escaped for a while, was quickly caught up by Ceci Hailow.
And this time, he didn't have a pet by his side. After Ceci Hailow caught up, she immediately launched an attack at the Shepherd.
Double Whirlwind Slash!
Facing Ceci Hailow's attack, the Shepherd could only stop running away and turn back to fight.
He pounced on Ceci Hailow fiercely, trying to repel Ceci Hailow. When Ceci Hailow's skill state was over, he would immediately escape again.
As long as Chen Mo didn't catch up, he still had a chance.
However, Cecil Harlow's HP was frighteningly high, not to mention anything else.
With 160,000 HP, no matter how the Shepherd pounced, she wouldn't be in danger for a short time.
Seeing that Ceci Hailow didn't retreat at all, the Shepherd's face darkened, and he thought of another way.
Instead of running away, he turned around and ran back to the other three pets. This way, Ceci Hailow might be entangled by the three pets again, and he would have a chance to escape.
Ceci Hailow had no choice but to chase after him.
"There's a chance!
Keep running! "
And just as the Shepherd had calculated, Ceci Hailow was entangled by the three pets again, and she wouldn't be able to catch up to him for a while.
His body moved, and his speed suddenly increased, and he hurriedly ran forward.
But not long after, he suddenly stopped in his tracks!
A figure appeared in front of him. It was Chen Mo!
Chen Mo's speed was not slower than his. Now that Chen Mo had caught up, it was impossible for him to escape.
Gritting his teeth, the Shepherd let out a low roar and pounced toward Chen Mo.
Force Throw!
Chen Mo didn't hold back in the slightest. He threw the Sea Lance, and the Shepherd's HP dropped by 4,000.
The Shepherd continued to pounce, and Chen Mo switched to his Stun Crossbow, and quickly fired one arrow after another at the Shepherd.
One after another, damage values of over 1,000 floated up above the Shepherd's head. Even if it was a normal shot, Chen Mo's damage was still higher than most players' skills.
Shock Trap!
The Shepherd couldn't help but pounce on Chen Mo's side, but the Shock Trap that Chen Mo had set up beforehand sent him flying three meters away.
Phantom Strike!
Chen Mo switched to his Sea Phantom Spear and dealt another 6,000 damage to the Shepherd. At the same time, he began to retreat and kite the Shepherd.
The Shepherd despaired.
He tried his best to get close to Chen Mo, but Chen Mo's traps and kiting tactics made it impossible for him to get close to Chen Mo.
…
The first step was even worse.
