Outside of the fire attribute territory.

Undying Fire Phoenix soared high into the sky, and Liu Yan was on its back. He had already finished his preparations.

The first step of the battle was naturally to attract the aggro of monsters first and then deal with the flying-type elite monsters of the fourth wave.

Liu Yan had Undying Fire Phoenix fly above the fourth wave of elite monsters, preparing to begin this battle.

Undying Fire Phoenix let out a long cry. It seemed to be very eager to fight. It flew above the fourth wave of elite monsters.

At this time, Xu Han also took out the S-grade weapon, the Phantom Blue Staff. He said confidently, “This is a good opportunity to test the power of Phantom Blue Staff. Later, leave the task of suppressing the other elite monsters on the ground to me. You and Undying Fire Phoenix will deal with the flying-type elite monsters.”

“Okay.” Liu Yan nodded and replied.

Although the lethality of frost attribute spells was not particularly outstanding, they were best at suppressing and restraining.

Liu Yan also knew frost skills. With the A-grade skill, Frost Control, Liu Yan’s control of the frost element was good.

However, compared to an awakened one who specialized in the frost attribute like Xu Han, Liu Yan was definitely weaker. Liu Yan would leave the job to Xu Han. Then, he and Undying Fire Phoenix would be responsible for dealing with the elite monsters that could fly.

As for Allen Smith and Murong Xue, they were not good at long-range attacks. They would stay on the Undying Fire Phoenix and wait. After Liu Yan, Xu Han, and Undying Fire Phoenix finished killing the flying-type elite monsters, they would go to the ground to fight separately.

After Undying Fire Phoenix arrived above the fourth wave of elite monsters, Xu Han looked at everyone and asked again, “Are you ready? I’m going to start attracting the monsters’ aggro.”

Liu Yan and the others nodded slightly.

Seeing this, Xu Han also attacked directly. With a wave of his Phantom Blue Staff, a blizzard suddenly appeared, landing accurately and densely on the elite monsters on the ground.

The damage from the blizzard was not high, but it had a nice deceleration effect. It could achieve a good crowd-control effect.

Xu Han used this skill as an opening to ask for stability. From the beginning, he wanted to use crowd control skills to prevent the elite monsters from suddenly counterattacking. Liu Yan and the others would not be able to withstand it.

At the same time, the elite monsters on the ground were attracted by the aggro immediately. They let out all sorts of strange cries.

Immediately after, the elite monsters began their attacks.

Some elite monsters that could fly directly soared into the air and attacked Undying Fire Phoenix, Liu Yan, Xu Han, and the others on Undying Fire Phoenix’s back.

Meanwhile, the other elite monsters on the ground had long-range attack skills. They began to use long-range attack skills and attacked Undying Fire Phoenix.

Xu Han ignored the group of elite monsters that were flying over. Those were the missions of Liu Yan and Undying Fire Phoenix. They had nothing to do with him.

Xu Han also trusted Liu Yan and Undying Phoenix very much. He ignored the elite monsters that were flying over. Instead, he focused her gaze on the group of elite monsters on the ground.

Seeing that they had launched long-range attacks, Xu Han had long been prepared. He once again waved his Phantom Blue Staff. Instantly, a huge semi-circular ice barrier appeared. It surrounded all the elite monsters on the ground.

It was a defensive skill but could also be used as a crowd control skill.

It could cover up one’s units and defend against the opponent’s attacks.

It could also cover up the enemy, preventing the opponent’s attacks from breaking through, achieving the effect of crowd control.

In the current situation, what Xu Han needed to do the most was to control the crowd. This way, the elite monsters on the ground could not use long-range attacks to disrupt the battle between Liu Yan, Undying Phoenix, and the flying-type elite monsters.

Naturally, Xu Han could not withstand the long-range attacks of many elite monsters on the ground alone. Hence, he could only delay the attacks of these elite monsters. He needed to stall for time so that Liu Yan and Undying Fire Phoenix could successfully deal with the elite monsters in the air. Then, the battle would become less stressful for Xu Han.

The ice barrier blocked all the long-range attacks of the elite monsters on the ground. At the same time, some cracks appeared on the ice barrier. It could not withstand the second round of long-range attacks from elite monsters.

When Xu Han saw this scene, he was a little surprised.

Initially, Xu Han expected that the ice barrier could barely block the first round of long-range attacks. The ice barrier would immediately shatter after that.

However, he did not expect the ice barrier to have only some cracks and not shatter.

With that, the ice barrier could continue to block the second round of attacks from the elite monsters. Although it could not block all attacks, it could still block half of them.

The power of the ice barrier had increased by almost half. Xu Han knew that all of this was due to the increase in his strength during this period. However, the more important reason was his S-grade weapon, the Phantom Blue Staff.

The Phantom Blue Staff was not only powerful, but it also had buffs on frost attribute skills and AOE skills.

With the double buffs, the power of Xu Han’s AOE frost skill had been greatly enhanced.

Xu Han looked at Phantom Blue Staff. He thought that it was even handier. This S-grade weapon was not only powerful but also compatible with him, which was why it had such a good effect.

Xu Han was even more at ease.

With the double buffs of Phantom Blue Staff, he could easily delay the elite monsters for a period to complete his mission.

As for the rest, he naturally left it to Liu Yan.

At this moment, Liu Yan was also a little surprised. Xu Han’s crowd-control skill blocked the long-range attacks from elite monsters on the ground. It was indeed powerful.

Xu Han’s crowd-control skills exceeded Liu Yan’s expectations. It was also the first time Liu Yan witnessed the powerful effects of the pinnacle of frost attribute.

Liu Yan’s strength was powerful, especially his offensive ability, explosive ability, and concealment ability. But in terms of crowd control skills, he could not compare to Xu Han, who was specialized and proficient in the frost attribute.

“You’re so powerful. Leave the rest to Undying Fire Phoenix and me.” Liu Yan said with some praise as he took out Flying Cloud Mystic Bow from his spatial ring.

Then, Liu Yan activated his A-grade skill, Electrification, and A-grade skill, Track. Undying Fire Phoenix used the fire attribute attack, while Liu Yan used the lightning attribute to attack. When their attacks combined, the attack effect would be even better.

An attack with multiple attributes would always be better than an attack with a single attribute.

Furthermore, it was an arrow shot from the sky, so Liu Yan decided to use his A-grade skill, Track, to ensure accuracy.

If Liu Yan used his B-grade skill, Ultimate Aim, it would not be difficult for Liu Yan to hit the target with his archery skills. However, accidents were inevitable.

At this moment, time was tight. Xu Han tried his best to stall every minute and second. He could not waste the opportunity and make a mistake.

When Liu Yan activated his two skills, he had already drawn his bow and nocked his arrows. Then, several arrows condensed from lightning elements.
