"Let's go!"
Chen Mo urged as he jumped onto the Black Phoenix.
The Black Phoenix scanned the monsters around it and hurriedly flew up as well.
Although it was in its strongest form, it was at most slightly stronger than a normal third-class monster. It would die a horrible death against a third-class elite with multiple halos.
Chen Mo and the Black Phoenix wanted to leave in a hurry, but before the Black Phoenix could fly more than a few meters, Chen Mo and the Black Phoenix's bodies sank, and their speed dropped drastically.
Some of the elite monsters had already released layers of halos. Chen Mo and the Black Phoenix were both within the effective range of the halos.
Several negative halos enveloped them. The ones that took effect immediately were the Gravity Halo and the Deceleration Halo.
The Gravity Halo greatly increased the gravity within the halo's range, thereby reducing the target's attack and movement speed. In terms of effect, it was similar to the Deceleration Halo.
However, the Gravity Halo was rarer and harder to deal with than the Deceleration Halo.
There was a way to dispel the Deceleration Halo, but there was no way to dispel the Gravity Halo.
Moreover, the Gravity Halo and the Deceleration Halo's deceleration effects could be stacked. With two halos, even the fastest player would be reduced to a snail.
The Black Phoenix was originally very fast, but under the dual effects of the Gravity Halo and the Deceleration Halo, its speed dropped drastically.
Originally, with the Black Phoenix's speed, even if it was not a third-class elite, it could still escape the Steel-winged Dragon in the sky and the surrounding monsters.
However, in the current situation, it was 100% impossible.
Chen Mo quickly looked at the elite monsters around him.
Not all Elite monsters had large AoE auras. Some Elite monsters had very small auras.
"Frozen Air!"
The halo effect came from two elite monsters. After Chen Mo confirmed it, he immediately activated the Frozen Air special ability.
A piece of ice crystal appeared between Chen Mo and the elite monsters, forming a wall of ice crystals that shone brightly under the sunlight.
Buildings could block the elite monsters' halos, and so could Chen Mo's ice crystal wall formed with his special ability.
With his full strength, the Frozen Air special ability was fully utilized, forming a huge ice crystal wall. Not only could the halo not cover Chen Mo, it could not even affect the Black Phoenix.
Chen Mo and the Black Phoenix felt their bodies relax.
"Go, fly in the direction I said!"
Chen Mo said in a deep voice.
The Ice Crystal Wall could only block in one direction. Flying around randomly would still be easily enveloped by the halo effect.
The Black Phoenix knew how powerful this was. She said nothing and hurriedly flew in the direction Chen Mo had pointed out.
Without the effect of the halo, the Black Phoenix quickly flew out of the range of the halo.
However, that didn't mean that they were safe.
Above Chen Mo's head, a large group of Steel Winged Dragons chased after him.
In the small town below, the elites were also leading the chase, roaring angrily.
Among these elites, there were terrifying fellows with auras that could reach up to a hundred meters. The highest altitude the Black Phoenix could fly at was only a hundred meters. If it was caught, it would be a tragedy at any time. Chen Mo couldn't use the Frozen Sky ability a second time.
It was already the limit of the Elementary Ice Air ability to form such a huge ice wall in one go.
Fortunately, the Black Phoenix had followed Chen Mo on the battlefield for a long time and was very experienced in battle. It knew the safest way to fly even without Chen Mo's instructions.
Chen Mo took out the Judgement Spear and attacked from the back of the Black Phoenix.
The Judgement Spear's level had also risen to Level 80. However, what made Chen Mo a little depressed was that the Judgement Spear's Level 80 was still the Level 80 of the Second Job, not the Level 80 of the Third Job. Its attributes were very different from the Third Job, so he could only make do with it.
However, Chen Mo didn't want to kill the monsters now. He wanted to stop them from catching up. The Judgement Spear with its super long range and sealing ability was just right.
The Shadow of the Sea Spear skill was activated. Shadows of the Judgement Spear were thrown out by Chen Mo.
The elites who wanted to get close were all gathered by Chen Mo and had no choice but to stop for a while.
Roar!
Roar roar!!
Fortunately, the town wasn't too big, and Chen Mo and the Black Phoenix managed to escape from the town amidst a series of angry roars.
"It's too difficult to take down a town like this!"
After escaping, Chen Mo carefully recalled the exploration operation this time.
In the end, they were discovered by the monsters and had no choice but to escape.
However, it was also because of this that Chen Mo obtained a lot of data.
The small monsters in the town were stronger than the small monsters outside, but this wasn't a problem.
The most troublesome thing was the large number of Elites with aura skills.
There were too many Elites. In addition to their own attack abilities, each Elite monster also had an aura effect.
Although the same aura effect would only take effect once, the effect of different aura effects stacked together would be too powerful.
Just like the gravity and speed reduction aura effects a while ago. If he didn't happen to have the Frozen Air attribute, he would definitely have been beaten to death.
"If I want to take down the town, I have to find a way to deal with those auras. Otherwise, it'll be very difficult to take down the town!"
The aura effects of the Elites were undoubtedly the town's monsters' greatest weapon. Without these auras, even if there were a large number of Elites, it wouldn't be difficult to take down the town.
However, with these auras, the difficulty of taking down the town increased by at least ten times.
There were only two ways to deal with the aura effects.
The first was to make the aura ineffective. The second was to be immune to the aura effects.
Of the two methods, the first one was obviously better. If he could make the aura ineffective, the battle would be much easier.
The second method was to be immune to the aura effects, but the aura effects could still be used on the monsters. The difficulty of the battle would still not decrease.
However, no matter which method it was, Chen Mo couldn't do it at the moment. He could only go back and think of a way.
The town was a satellite city of the Nine Castles. One of the Nine Castles wouldn't be far from here. Although Chen Mo had just escaped from a large number of monsters, he didn't give up on his original idea.
Knowing that one of the Nine Castles was nearby, Chen Mo didn't bury himself in searching blindly. Instead, he rode on the Black Phoenix and flew forward.
Although it was dangerous, Chen Mo could still ensure his safety if he didn't keep flying. It would only be for a short period of time.
If he flew for a long time, there would definitely be problems.
After all, Chen Mo couldn't be sure what kind of powerful monsters would appear in the Final Land.
The Black Phoenix was very fast. In less than ten minutes, Chen Mo found a huge ancient castle in the distance.
Chen Mo hurriedly let the Black Phoenix fly over. However, before they were halfway there, Chen Mo suddenly discovered a large number of spears on the ground in front of them. He and the Black Phoenix had no choice but to retreat and dodge.
This was just the beginning. Following that, Chen Mo suffered several powerful attacks on the way. They almost took his life.
Halfway there, Chen Mo had no choice but to give up on letting the Black Phoenix fly forward.
That was too dangerous. He would be taught a lesson by the long-range monsters on the ground at any moment.
…
The second was even worse.
