The Spirit of Gourmet

Chapter 140 Fragments of the Initial Oath

"Fragments of the original oath?"

Upon hearing Zuo Ge's exclamation, Qin Lang and the other two quickly turned their gazes towards him.

Cao Dongdong couldn't help but ask, "Mr. Zuo Ge, what is that?"

"The fragments of the original oath are closely related to the legendary first Food Spirit." Zuo Ge's expression was serious, yet filled with indescribable excitement.

"Legend has it that the first Food Spirit made an unbreakable oath with the human king, pouring all its power into a huge stone, which is also known as the 'First Oath'."

"The boulder was shattered by the human king himself, and the initial oath took effect at that moment. The fine stone dust was scattered to every corner of the world by the wind and water, transforming into the power that gave birth to the food spirits."

"During the shattering process, many larger fragments were preserved, containing unimaginable power!"

"Wait a minute, you're saying this is a fragment?" Zhao Qian asked in surprise. "Can a fragment be such a perfectly regular hexagon?"

"That's the magic of the original oath!"

Zuo Ge's tone remained excited, "No matter how it is divided, each part contains the complete power of the original food spirit, so all the fragments will transform into colorful hexagonal gems."

"To see a fragment of the original oath with my own eyes has always been my dream," Zog's voice trembled slightly, "because it is the most direct proof of the existence of the original Food Spirits!"

"I never imagined that the keepsake left behind by Jock would be this..."

"Hehe~" Upon hearing Zog's words, Redo's lips curled into a smug smile. "I didn't expect there to be someone who knows his stuff."

“That’s right! This is the original oath fragment!” He stared in fascination at the hexagonal gem in his hand. “As long as you possess it, the Food Spirit will gain unimaginable new power.”

"And now, it's mine."

"With this power, even the vice-captain is within my grasp, hahaha~"

"You bastard!" A low, angry shout interrupted Redo's arrogant laughter. Ruan Cen glared at Redo, pointing at the hexagonal gem in his hand, "Do you know what will happen if you take it?"

“This ‘Fragment of the Original Oath’ was left here by my ancestor Joker to suppress the groundwater beneath Bailushan City.”

"Once it leaves the area of ​​the underground palace, the suppression of the underground water system will be completely destroyed, and the entire Bailushan City may be flooded!"

"Countless residents will be displaced as a result!"

As Ruan Cen's voice echoed, the underground palace suddenly fell silent.

Liu Chuang's heart skipped a beat. He secretly tugged at Luo Mi's sleeve and whispered, "Luo Mi, is what this old man said true?"

"Will Bailushan City really be destroyed because of this?"

“It doesn’t seem fake.” Lomi’s expression was uncertain.

"Then..." Liu Chuang lowered his voice, a hesitant look on his face, "How about we persuade Lord Lei to give up on that fragment?"

Lomi looked at Liu Chuang as if he were an idiot.

"what?"

"Hahaha~" Redo laughed, a fierce glint in his eyes.

What you're saying has nothing to do with me.

"We are the rare treasure hunting team wanted by the Spirit Chef Association!"

"Where were those people you speak of who are about to be displaced, when we treated them like rats in the street, everyone shouting to kill them?"

"They only kick us while we're down, throw stones and rotten eggs at us, and don't give us a place to hide!"

"This world is in utter chaos; it needs a new order!" Redo held up the fragment of the First Oath high, his eyes gleaming with madness. "And it can bring me everything I desire!"

"It doesn't seem like that," Liu Chuang muttered quietly, in a voice only he and Luo Mi could hear. "That day at the amusement park, quite a few people took photos with us and even fed us..."

"Idiot, that's because you're wearing an amusement park costume!" Lomi rolled her eyes, but memories kept churning in her mind.

The florist who had damaged the flowers caught up with the two but only scolded them a few times, telling them not to do it again... In the park where the two camped, an elderly woman in a sanitation worker's uniform came to clean every day and secretly left two blankets behind...

Visitors who had their food stolen at the amusement park grumbled and cursed, but quickly became engrossed in the food, forgetting all about the theft...

And then there are the food stall owners who can make all sorts of delicious dishes, greeting every customer with a cheerful smile…

The people in this city don't seem so bad...

But there's more...

Thinking of how the other party had disregarded her pain and used her to explore the way, Lomi's eyes flickered slightly.

"Unorthodox methods!" Ruan Cen was so angry that he glared and puffed out his beard. "I'm not going to argue with you about this. Hand over the token, and the whole city can still be saved!"

"Today, even if it costs me my old bones, I will absolutely not let you take it away!"

"And us too!" Qin Lang said in a deep voice. Beside him, Zhao Qian and Cao Dongdong showed expressions of shared hatred.

"Leave the stuff for me!"

"You think you can take them on?" Redo scoffed dismissively. "Claws, go teach them a lesson."

"Pala!"

The largest of the food spirits emerged from behind Redo, instantly releasing its previously concealed aura, causing everyone's expression to change.

"drop--"

It's a four-star Food Spirit, and it's even undergone Food Spirit Renewal!

Qin Lang and the others' expressions instantly turned serious. This was probably the most powerful Food Spirit they had ever seen, bar none.

Even though Zhou Tianhao's signature food spirit Cream is also a four-star food spirit, it has not yet undergone food spirit renewal, and there is a considerable gap between it and the renewed food spirit.

Faced with such a Food Spirit, all of them combined would be no match for it!
Are we just going to watch them swagger away and take away the original oath fragments, leaving Bailushan City buried in the flood?

A mixture of helplessness and anger welled up in the eyes of Qin Lang and the others.

At that moment, Lomi's voice rang out.

"Hey, you old man."

Ruan Cen subconsciously turned his head, only to see that Luo Mi had come up behind him at some point, putting her index finger to her lips, "Don't make a sound, keep your voice down."

"How can we save Bailushan City?"

Ruan Cen was slightly taken aback, but answered truthfully, "As long as a drop of my blood falls on the token, I can summon the Silver Deer to come here."

Silver Deer…

Lomi's eyes narrowed slightly.

"Liu Chuang, move out!"
