The Ice Mountain Beasts’ faces were covered in long snow-white fur. Their dark red eyes were covered by thick brows, like evil orbs with a dangerous red glow hidden in deep caves.
Their arms were thick and muscular, like the Tianshan Snow Apes. Atop their distinctive muscles was a layer of armor made of frost, accumulated over a long period of time. The ice-blue armor extended from their head to their knees.
Usually, any creature covered in armor would have a weakness, and they would be clumsier. They would struggle to react when Wind Mages and Shadow Mages kept changing their positions.
However, the Ice Mountain Beasts’ joints, like their neck, shoulders, elbows, waist, and knees, were only covered by thick fur instead of the armor.
Many people would assume these joints were the Ice Mountain Beasts’ weakness when they first encountered the species. However, it was completely the opposite, as their joints had a kind of flexible bone that was firm enough to destroy any metal, rare bone, and rare skin!
They were materials that many magic shields and armor were made of. Therefore, they would fall right into a trap if they tried to attack the Ice Mountain Beasts’ weak points!
Lingling’s reminder helped the team avoid unnecessary casualties!

“Mo Fan, I can’t hold on for any longer. Hurry up and drive these things away!” Zhao Manyan yelled.
Three Ice Mountain Beasts were throwing punches at a thin Water Barrier. They were crazily pounding Zhao Manyan’s defense, knocking the ice around them everywhere.
Zhao Manyan was struggling to fend them off. He wondered if the Ice Mountain Beasts were out of their minds. Why did they keep attacking his barrier when there were others around? Zhao Manyan’s defense was difficult to break when they were going up against Warrior-level creatures, but these Ice Mountain beasts were Commander-level creatures, stronger than ordinary species. His defense was too weak against them!
“I feel like their bones do more than just penetrate magic Equipment. They are effective against our barriers too!” Jiang Shaoxu saw how much Zhao Manyan was struggling, but she was not showing any intention of lending a hand.
Zhao Manyan did not place any hopes in Jiang Shaoxu. There was nothing a Psychic Mage could do against stronger demon creatures, especially since they were the ones that had trespassed into the demon creatures’ territory.

Mo Fan jumped over an Ice Mountain Beast. He landed behind their back and cast an Earth Spell.
Pieces of Bright Rock grew out from Mo Fan’s shoulders to his fists. The sturdy rock amplified Mo Fan’s strength significantly as he threw a punch out!
BANG!
The Bright Rocks shattered into pieces. However, the Ice Mountain Beast was knocked flying after vomiting a mouthful of blood. Its armor was broken into pieces as well.
“Trying to see who has the bigger fist?” Mo Fan said disdainfully, looking at the Ice Mountain Beast that was still on the ground.
“Mo Fan, four Ice Mountain Beasts are approaching you from above!” Nanyu warned him.
“Behind! Behind us! Mo Fan, take out the ones behind us first!” Jiang Yu yelled.
Mo Fan looked up before glancing to the back of the team.
Damn it, was he the only damage output for the team? Why did he have to take care of everything!
“I’ll take care of those that are approaching from above. You guys will handle the ones at the back!” Mo Fan shouted.
He was not a superhero. There was no way he could put out the fires that were happening all over the place. He had to take care of one side before he could catch his breath.
BANG!
There were interconnected bridges above the team. Four Ice Mountain Beasts were running rapidly across them. They were so quick that the Mages could only see their white afterimages.
Mo Fan had no idea when the little cub had jumped onto his hat. She was waving her paws around excitedly, like she was commanding the battle.
“I’m not your Pikachu, go away!” Mo Fan tried to pull the little cub down, but she was stuck to his head like a patch of ointment. He could not even take off his hat.

The four Ice Mountain Beasts were already approaching. Mo Fan did not have the time to mess around with the little cub. He quickly turned into a shadow and glided below the ice bridge to reach a spot more favorable to him.
The four Ice Mountain Beasts had great synergy. They quickly split up into four directions when they saw Mo Fan’s shadow. They were waiting for Mo Fan to come out of the shadow so they could attack him when he could no longer escape!
Mo Fan quickly came out of the shadow. He was unable to use other spells while he was in shadow form.
He had glided under the ice bridge. When he showed himself, he half-clenched his fists and placed them close to his waist.
Wild lightning coiled around his hands in layers. More than ten layers accumulated in less than a second.
Mo Fan clenched his fists like he was releasing something.
The lightning flickered with more energy, while spreading into its surroundings with great force!
The four leaping Ice Mountain Beasts were paralyzed briefly in mid-air when they made contact with the lightning, before they were sent flying.
“Soul-Hunting Giant Shadow Spike!”
Mo Fan switched between his Elements rapidly. The Dark Vein was already surging inside his body when he released the Lightning Magic. Four Giant Shadow Spikes flew at the four Ice Mountain Beasts that had been knocked flying.
The Ice Mountain Beasts slammed into a wall. The Giant Shadow Spikes penetrated them and nailed them to the wall, not giving them any chance to resist.
“Shadow Execution!”
The Giant Shadow Spikes contained strong Dark Material. It spread rapidly and turned into Soldiers of the Shadow Tribe before the Ice Mountain Beasts could break free.
The Soldiers of the Shadow Tribe were like twisted executioners. They wrapped the dark chains they were holding around the Ice Mountain Beasts’ necks and choked them to death.
The Ice Mountain Beasts tried their best to escape from the Shadow Execution. They even broke the wall apart with brute force, yet the Shadow Tribesmen would not allow their targets to escape so easily.
As time passed, the Ice Mountain Beasts gradually lost their strength as they were being choked to death.
