The Spirit of Gourmet

Chapter 205 Oh no! Save them!

"round and round!"

Cao Dongdong stared wide-eyed at Tuantuan flying away, and made an anxious sound.

"Phila~"

Tuantuan responded weakly. The attack had really drained its strength, and it was very weak at the moment.

If attacked again while in this state, they would likely lose their combat ability and return to the Star Pulse.

"Damn it!" Cao Dongdong couldn't help but clench his fist.

"Be careful," Zhao Qian said in a deep voice. "That food spirit named Pago is of the astringent and wood attributes, while Gula is of the fresh and dark attributes, both of them are one-star."

"You two take care of the man together," Qin Lang decided immediately. "I'll deal with the woman."

Hu Chong's food spirit has the Dark elemental attribute. Neither Tuan Tuan nor Bu Bu will have a direct elemental advantage against it. Tuan Tuan's Sweet attribute can also counter the Fresh attribute, reducing damage by half.

As for myself...

Saltiness overcomes astringency, and fire overcomes wood, resulting in complete suppression.

"Egg Baby, use the Breath of Fire!" Qin Lang pointed at Pagoda in front of him, his eyes blazing with fighting spirit.

"Gurgle!" Egg Baby responded, took a deep breath, and flames rose around him.

"Too slow!" Jona snorted. "A guy this slow is no match for me."

"Pagoda, use Earthshaker!"

With a low shout from Jona, Pagoda arrived first, his two earth-yellow energy fists slamming down hard on Egg Baby.

Clearly, Jona was aware of her own attribute disadvantages, so she did not choose her own wood-type combat skill when she attacked, but instead used an earth-type combat skill that was effective against fire, in an attempt to achieve higher damage.

Unfortunately…

"Bear!"

A loud crackling sound of flames rang out, and the next instant, Pagoda, who had struck Egg Baby, suddenly let out a scream as dark red flames rose from its body.

At the same time, Egg Baby, whose body was shrouded in dark red flames, shook its head and revealed a smug expression.

Although Qin Lang shouted "Breath of Blazing Fire," the true combat technique he instructed Egg Baby to use, guided by the Star Spirit Guardian, was "Body of Vengeful Fire"!
After spending so much time together and exchanging ideas with Zhao Qian from time to time, achieving this with the tacit understanding between the two of them is simply a piece of cake.

The [Body of Vengeful Fire] was cast almost instantly with no wind-up. The moment Jona chose to attack, they fell into Qin Lang's trap.

Pagoda is indeed very fast, but such speed unfortunately triggers Egg's [Second-mover advantage] trait.

This fueled the furious backlash, and when the flames subsided, patches of charred marks appeared on Pago's body.

It's an abnormal condition: burn!
A look of surprise appeared in Qin Lang's eyes.

Unlike [Breath of Fire], which has a 100% chance of triggering [Burning], [Body of Vengeful Fire] only has a 50% chance of causing [Burning].

It seems that timing, location, and people are all on his side.

"Egg Baby, continue using the Breath of Fire!"

"Gulu!"

Egg Baby, having withstood a powerful attack thanks to its high defense and stamina, still maintained considerable fighting strength. It responded, took a quick breath, and unleashed a torrent of scorching flames at Pagoda.

"Oh no, Pagoda, get out of the way!" Jona's expression changed slightly as she issued a god-level command.

Unfortunately, Pagoda, still reeling from the flames, reacted too late. By the time it tried to dodge, the fire had already engulfed it completely.

"Pagu!!!" Pagu let out a painful growl. When the flames subsided, it looked extremely weak, its body covered in charred soot.

"Pagoda!" Jona clenched her fists tightly, looking at Qin Lang with disbelief on her face. "How can he be so strong..."

"What a pity." A hint of disappointment appeared in Qin Lang's eyes.

The previous attack, [Breath of Fire], failed to trigger the critical strike effect of [Counterattack] again; otherwise, it would have been enough to knock the opponent back to Star Pulse.

However, that should be about right.

"Egg Baby, give it the final blow!" Qin Lang shouted, about to give the order, when Cao Dongdong suddenly exclaimed from the side.

"Oh no, Zhenling has been captured!"

what?
Qin Lang turned his head sharply and saw two sneaky figures who had appeared in the rice field at some point. They were holding cages, and inside were the Zhenling that had just appeared.

Upon recognizing the two familiar figures, Qin Lang's expression immediately darkened.

"Liu Chuang, Luo Mi!"

Unexpectedly, these two guys also came to Danju City with them!
"Kukuku, I can even find a rare spirit while taking a walk. I'm so lucky!" Lomi smiled smugly and patted the cage. "I'm not going to chat with you guys anymore. I have to go home and harvest my crops."

"You guys take your time, I'm leaving now!"

As she spoke, Lomi pulled Liu Chuang as if to leave.

Where are you going?

Before Qin Lang could speak, Qiao Na's sinister voice came from the side.

"Lomi, how dare you lay a hand on my mission target?"

"Hehehe, hahaha..." Jona's hair was disheveled, and a crazed look appeared in her eyes. "If you steal my things, then none of you should live!"

"Pago, blow them all up!"

"Pagu!" Pagu's eyes also held a hint of madness. It flew to the high sky in the arena at top speed. Within its weak body, terrifying energy seemed to be frantically accumulating, causing everyone in the arena to change color at the same time.

"Are you crazy?!" Hu Chong, who was also at a disadvantage under the siege of Cao Dongdong and Zhao Qian, changed his expression drastically. Without hesitation, he forcibly returned his food spirit to his star vein and turned to run away.

"Could this be the legendary..." Liu Chuang gasped, as if he had thought of something, his eyes widening involuntarily.

"What are you standing there for? Run!" Without saying a word, Luo Mi grabbed Liu Chuang and ran for their lives.

Seeing the reactions of the other members of the treasure hunting team, and then looking at the madness in Qiao Na's eyes, Qin Lang and the other two felt a sense of foreboding.

However, before they could react, a huge explosion and a dazzling white light swept across the entire area. The terrifying energy stirred up gusts of wind, even uprooting the rice stalks around them.

Qin Lang hugged Danbao tightly, gritting his teeth and desperately holding up the Star Spirit Guardian. He felt the power in the Tian Shu Star Meridian on his forehead being consumed rapidly until a slight dizziness appeared.

While Celestial Guardians can resist supernatural powers, they ultimately have their limits.

At the critical moment, a warm current suddenly surged from the Tianxuan Star Vein between Qin Lang's eyebrows and flowed into the Star Spirit Guardian.

The next instant, the shaky shield stabilized again and remained stable until the explosion ended.

As the smoke and dust cleared, Qin Lang quickly looked around.

Zhao Qian and Cao Dongdong were both unharmed, but the latter looked disheveled and somewhat miserable, as their food spirits had lost their ability to fight in the explosion.

But when Qin Lang saw Yang Xingze's collapsed home not far away, his expression changed.

"Oh no! Help!"
