Approximately ten minutes later, Chen Mo arrived above a towering snow mountain.
Because it was easy to lose direction in the wind and snow, he chose the nearest snow mountain to complete the challenge.
According to the disciples of Kunlun Arena, a large spiritual beast called the Ice Crystal Worm lived on this snow mountain.
These spiritual beasts were enormous, with a growth level around the Commander Stage. However, their intelligence was generally low, making them an excellent target for completing the [Snow Mountain Challenger] task.
At this moment, a "beep beep beep" sound suddenly echoed in Chen Mo’s mind.
The food radar had gone off.
After entering the Snowy Realm Secret Realm, Chen Mo equipped himself with the [Food Hunter] entry. After all, the more remote the place, the more likely high-end ingredients might appear.
Since his spiritual beasts were all foodies, Chen Mo naturally wouldn’t miss this opportunity.
But strangely enough—it seemed that the ingredient detected by the Food Hunter this time was inside the snow mountain itself!?
This also meant that the snow mountain might hold some secrets, perhaps hiding a passageway leading inside!
Excited, Chen Mo decided not to rush into exploring but rather finish this week’s challenge task first.
Taking out a roasted whole pig from the space ring, it was just ordinary roast meat, but it was more than enough as bait to lure the Ice Crystal Worm.
"Tuantuan, full portion!"
Under the power of Tuantuan’s Food Spirit, the roasted whole pig instantly swelled to more than ten times its size. Chen Mo tossed it from the air, and the entire snow mountain shook violently like an earthquake the moment it hit the ground.
A massive worm, entirely icy blue, nearly 20 meters long, and over 3 meters in diameter, emerged from the ground. It leapt high, its mouth fully open, filled with countless teeth.
It ferociously bit into the giant roast pig’s leg but didn’t have time for a second bite before another Ice Crystal Worm of similar size suddenly emerged from the ground.
The two Ice Crystal Worms fiercely tangled with each other, snowflakes flying, lifting a continuous veil of white snow mist.
Subsequently, the third, fourth Ice Crystal Worms appeared...
The scene before him was exactly like fish scrambling for bait thrown into a fishpond!
However, Chen Mo’s eyes turned grave because he sensed a faint evil god’s aura on these Ice Crystal Worms.
Although the evil god’s aura was extremely faint, as someone who regularly dealt with the evil god, an Evil God’s Friend, Chen Mo keenly detected it.
These Ice Crystal Worms were likely connected to the evil god!
"Forget it, let’s complete the challenge first."
The little bluebird retrieved eight spirit paintings engraved with the Ice Phoenix from its space ring.
Each of these eight spirit paintings contained a high-level technique, Absolute Zero, which could be activated with just a trace of spiritual power.
This was also currently the strongest technique Bing Lan could unleash!
As ice spiritual power was infused, the Ice Phoenix on the spirit paintings emitted a pale blue radiance, as though ready to emerge, while the surrounding temperature plummeted to its limits.
Eightfold Absolute Zero!
Eight instantaneous high-level techniques!
This was the power of a Spiritual Painter, able to unleash attacks far beyond its growth level with only minimal spiritual power consumption!
The Ice Crystal Worms felt a lethal threat, but they were too enthralled by the food to retreat underground.
And then tragedy struck them.
Silently, a layer of white frost spread over the Ice Crystal Worms. Within mere seconds, these massive creatures were completely frozen into blocks of ice.
Even with strong resistance against ice, the Ice Crystal Worms could not withstand the bone-chilling cold of Absolute Zero.
Subsequently, the little bluebird retrieved another dozen or so crystal-clear ice paintings from the space ring.
Depicting jade snow pines, these ice paintings contained the Ice Wind Roar technique.
This was a rather potent high-level ice technique.
After pouring most of its internal ice spiritual power into the paintings, an intense icy blue light erupted simultaneously from all the paintings.
The icy wind howled, producing a mournful sound.
In an instant, frigid winds formed into streams of ice-blue frost dragons, assaulting the Ice Crystal Worms already frozen by the Ice Dragon.
The moment the "Ice Dragons" touched the Ice Crystal Worms, these colossal beings completely fragmented, turning into ice blocks.
Even the nearby snowy ground was massively impacted, sweeping the accumulated snow away to reveal the dark rock beneath.
"Ji!" (That’s so me!)
The little bluebird slowly perched on Chen Mo’s shoulder, feeling mighty cool.
This was a true mage!
Glancing at the entry manual, Chen Mo discovered the [Snow Mountain Challenger] task was completed, meaning Bing Lan’s recent magical bombardment had directly annihilated at least 10 Commander-level Ice Crystal Worms.
To think these Ice Crystal Worms’ bodies were incredibly resilient, impervious to even bullets or shells, yet Bing Lan had demolished them in an instant.
"Ice Emperor, amazing~"
Chen Mo casually praised, earning a wave of affection from the little bluebird, then let Starsea carry him down to collect the spoils.
Eerily—the interior of these Ice Crystal Worms turned out to be hollow, with no internal organs or flesh at all!
Only a bluish crystal core in their head indicated they were spiritual beasts, not some mechanical construct.
