The Spirit of Gourmet

Chapter 204 Goodbye to the Treasure Hunting Team

A new rare spirit?!
Hearing Liu Chuang's excited words, Luo Mi suddenly turned her head to look in the direction he was pointing. There she saw a strange-looking rare spirit darting back and forth among the remaining rice stalks in the rice paddy.

It really is a rare spirit!
"So, should we make a move?" Liu Chuang asked impatiently. "This should be Qiao Na and the others' mission target, right?"

"I have no idea what mission objective is." Lomi scoffed, a strange light flashing in her eyes. "As a member of the treasure hunting team, there's no reason for us to remain indifferent when we see a rare spirit."

"We want that rare spirit!"

"Shall we make our move now?" Liu Chuang rubbed his hands together, looking eager to try.

“No.” Lomi shook her head slightly, revealing an expression of complete control.

"Let's watch the show first."
-
"Hey, don't run!"

Yang Xingze called out anxiously as he hurried after the appearing spirit, but the spirit seemed unmoved. Upon hearing Yang Xingze's words, its speed not only did not decrease but actually increased.

Its petite body moved nimbly among the rice stalks, sometimes disappearing underground and turning into rice ears. Its speed was astonishing, and only afterimages could be seen. Yang Xingze, who often worked in the fields, not only failed to catch up, but also stumbled.

"Qin Lang, should we go help?" Cao Dongdong couldn't help but ask, seeing Yang Xingze's disheveled appearance chasing Zhenling in the rice field.

"We..." Qin Lang was about to say something when he suddenly heard Danbao call out urgently.

"Gulu!"

His expression changed rapidly, and he abruptly turned his head to look at the other side.

Two figures, a man and a woman, were seen approaching, accompanied by two food spirits, looking quite menacing.

"Get out of my way!" Qiao Na shouted as she looked at Qin Lang and the others in front of her, and then swung her fist forcefully forward.

"Pagoda, smash it!"

"Pagu!" Jona's food spirit shouted, and earth-yellow earth-elemental energy gathered in mid-air to form the shape of two fists, which then slammed down hard.

"boom!!!"

With a low, booming sound, a huge crater appeared on the ground, and at the same time, a yellowish-brown energy wave rapidly spread outwards.

Earth-type combat skill: Earth Shake!
"Om-"

Qin Lang and the others immediately activated their Star Spirit Protection to shield Yu Zaozao and Chi Yu, who were just ordinary people, behind them. They each summoned their own Food Spirits and looked solemnly at the two unfamiliar faces that had suddenly attacked.

"Who are you?"

Cao Dongdong shouted, "This is private land! Do you know what the consequences are for a Spirit Chef trespassing on private land and using food spirit abilities?"

"Hehehe, little brother, are you trying to talk to us about the law?" A hint of disdain flashed in Jona's eyes. "You're still a kid who hasn't even grown his first hair. I advise you to get out of our way now and not block us from catching that rare spirit."

"Otherwise, I'll attack you all too!"

Capture the rare spirit?
Qin Lang was startled, and his gaze towards Qiao Na and Hu Chong became more serious. "Are you from the treasure hunting team?"

"Huh? I didn't expect you to have guessed it." Hu Chong glanced at Qin Lang, then shook his head slightly. "But this means you probably won't be able to leave safely."

"Gura, use Shadow Cage!"

"Gurgle!" Hu Chong's food spirit responded, grinning triumphantly as it swiftly opened its black cage, enveloping Qin Lang and the others.

"Don't even think about it!" Qin Lang looked at the rapidly enlarging cage in his field of vision and waved his hand. "Egg Baby, use the Breath of Blazing Fire!"

"Gulu~"

Egg Baby responded, took a deep breath, and the next moment, blazing flames poured down on the cage without reservation. "Let's attack too, use Frost Flower Storm!" Zhao Qian glanced at Bubu and pointed forcefully towards the cage.

Her second food spirit, Agate, had only recently been born, and at this level, it couldn't be of much help yet, so Zhao Qian only summoned Bubu.

"Buyi!"

Bubu quickly gathered frost, and the chilling storm slammed into the cage along with Egg Baby's fiery breath.

"boom--"

With a muffled thud, the cage of dark energy shattered rapidly.

"You do have some skill." A hint of surprise flashed in Hu Chong's eyes, then he raised his hand and gestured, "In that case, we..."

"boom!!!"

Before he could finish speaking, a stone pillar suddenly rose from the ground, followed by more and more pillars covering Qiao Na and Hu Chong, plunging the two who were about to give instructions into a flurry of activity.

"Hehe, all's fair in war!" Cao Dongdong patted Tuan Tuan's head after his successful sneak attack, a smug look on his face.

Qin Lang gave Cao Dongdong a thumbs up, then looked at Yu Zaozao and Chi Yu, whose faces were a little pale, and said, "You two go back inside first, and take Xingze with you. We'll take care of things here!"

"Yes!" Chi Yu nodded emphatically, then pulled Yang Xingze, who was still staring blankly at the sudden turn of events, along with Zhen Ling, who hadn't caught up yet.

"I've already called the Spirit Chef Association, you all have to be careful!" Yu Zaozao looked at Qin Lang and the other two with concern. Knowing that she couldn't help them much here, she quickly caught up with Chi Yu and ran into the house.

Watching the three figures disappear into the house, Qin Lang breathed a slight sigh of relief.

"Egg Baby, use the Light Sleep Aromatherapy, then do some warm-up exercises!"

"Gurgle!" Egg Baby responded, and blazing flames rose around him, turning his entire body from yellow to orange. At the same time, a strange fragrance quietly permeated the surrounding environment.

Once Egg Baby's skill was used up, Qiao Na and Hu Chong, who had been in a state of temporary chaos not far away, had regained their composure.

"Despicable! You actually launched a sneak attack!" Jona said, her face dark as she wiped the dust off her head.

"As members of a criminal organization, you seem to have no right to say that," Cao Dongdong puffed out his chest smugly. "Sorry, you're destined to never get this rare spirit!"

"Use whatever moves you have!"

"Quite the boast," Jona scoffed. "Pagoda, use the vine whip to lash this guy's mouth raw!"

"Pagu!" Pagu responded, and sharp vine whips emerged from behind him, whistling through the air as they swiftly lashed out towards Cao Dongdong.

"Tuantuan, block them!"

"Feila!"

With a loud shout from Cao Dongdong, Tuantuan quickly flew in front of him, and stone shields resembling scales appeared in front of her.

Earth-type combat skill: Scale Stone Shield!
"Click——"

The vine whip whistled past and finally struck the shield hard, shattering the hard rock shield in the next instant.

Tuantuan let out a painful cry as her entire body was instantly flung away.

"Oh no!" Qin Lang's pupils shrank.

"Wood overcomes Earth, double damage!"
