The Spirit of Gourmet

Chapter 412 Interlocking Tactics

"Next up, Qin Lang will challenge Spirit Master Wen Yue!"

At the staff's shout, Qin Lang stood up with a tense expression, put Xiao Cai's fish tank on his seat, and walked onto the stage.

"Qin Lang, keep it up!" Cao Dongdong shouted to Qin Lang, his hands cupping his cheeks.

Even Zhao Qian, who hadn't yet recovered from the devastating defeat, looked at Qin Lang with trust.

In this battle, she was completely at a disadvantage. Her attributes were countered, her level was lower than her opponent's, and she was fighting a revitalized food spirit with an ordinary food spirit, which was an absolute disadvantage.

But if Qin Lang were to take the stage, the situation would be completely different.

Fire overcomes wood, and wood overcomes spirit.

Salty can counteract sweetness, and spicy can counteract sweetness.

Egg Baby's dual attributes completely counter the opponent's, and although Spicy's two attributes counter each other, it is not the main attacker in this battle.

Therefore, Qin Lang was confident that he could win battles he couldn't.

Encouraged and emboldened by his teammates, Qin Lang walked to his designated spot on the battlefield and waved vigorously toward the stands. Then, he looked at Wen Yue on the other side of the field and said, "Ms. Wen Yue, it's time to begin."

"Are you and that girl from earlier your companions?" Wen Yue didn't rush to start, but just crossed her arms and looked at Qin Lang.

"Yes." Qin Lang nodded.

"You still dare to challenge me after seeing your companion fail, your courage is commendable, but..." Wen Yue glanced at Danbao and Lala.

"Me and Red Rose are not so easy to defeat."

"Sika!"

Standing behind Wen Yue, the slender Food Spirit Red Rose, who seemed to be wearing a dark red petal dress, responded in a gentle voice.

It's hard to imagine that this same Food Spirit could easily take down every opponent in previous battles with its exclusive combat skill, [High Explosion Rose].

With a whistle from the staff member acting as referee, the Spirit Master assessment, which was being conducted in front of a crowd of onlookers, quickly began.

"Lala, the first attack is up to you!" Qin Lang looked at Lala and issued the order while activating Star Spirit Protection.

"Use plenty of energy!"

"Cha-ka-cha-ka!" Lala's eyes blazed with fighting spirit. As it responded with a low growl, its body swayed from side to side, and silver-gray Fighting-type power surged, forming a transparent shield around its body.

Throughout this process, Wen Yue did not give Hong Qiang any instructions, and while waiting patiently, a look of surprise appeared in her eyes.

"It's full of energy! This combat skill isn't cheap."

"However, resources alone cannot cultivate good food spirits."

"Red Rose, trap it."

“Sika~” Red Rose responded softly, while raising a slender arm and gently pressing it in the direction of Spicy.

Green wood-elemental energy surged, and vines instantly sprouted from the ground, wrapping around Lala at an astonishing speed imperceptible to the naked eye.

Wood-type combat skill, [Entwining Vine Embrace]!
"So fast!" Qin Lang was startled and immediately gave the order, "Lala, use the Illusionary Form to get closer quickly!"

"Chapter!"

As soon as it responded, it suddenly accelerated and launched a rapid charge. Its figure became illusory under the light purple mental energy, and its speed increased dramatically. In an instant, it arrived in front of Red Rose.

"Now! Use the Fear Gaze!"

"Chapter!!!" Lala responded, her blood-red eyes glaring fiercely at Red Rose.

Red Rose's movements suddenly froze, and a wisp of black mist quietly appeared above her head, the state of "Fear" caused by being struck by a fearful gaze.

"Hmph, I knew you had this trick up your sleeve." Wen Yue snorted lightly, a calm smile appearing on her lips.

Both [Illusory Form] and [Fearful Gaze] are powerful awakening combat skills, meaning they are combat skills that are out in the open.

The experienced Wen Yue was able to determine Lala's position and Qin Lang's plans with just two combat skills.

Clearly, this first, weaker Food Spirit was merely a vanguard, responsible for inflicting negative status effects on Red Rose, thus creating opportunities for the main attacker.

But is it really that simple?

"Red Rose, purify!"

"Sika!" Upon receiving the instruction, Red Rose instantly perked up. With a wave of her hand, a drop of emerald green dew appeared above her head, which she then washed over completely, instantly dispelling her previous state of [fear].

Wood-type combat skill: [Purification Liquid].

Once activated, this skill can immediately remove all abnormal statuses from oneself, restoring oneself to normal.

Seeing this, a hint of joy flashed in Qin Lang's eyes.

Hooked!
"Now!" With that shout, a sharp glint flashed in La La's eyes.

The next instant, light purple energy burst forth from its body and instantly landed on Red Rose's body.

Mental combat technique, [Forgetfulness Magic]!
In the previous battle with Zhao Qian's Food Spirit Bubu, Hong Qiang also fell into an abnormal state and used the combat skill [Purification Potion].

Therefore, Qin Lang's actions just now were not intended to inflict the [Fear] abnormal status on Hong Qiang at all!
Instead, they use the "Fear" state to force the opponent to use the "Purification Potion," and then temporarily seal this combat skill using the "Forgetfulness Magic"!

Only in this way can Egg Baby have a chance to fight the opponent!
At this moment, when Lala used this combat skill, there was an unexpected surprise: it also imprisoned Red Rose's [Entangling Vine Embrace] as well.

Although this combat skill has no offensive power and can only restrict the opponent's movement while increasing the user's accuracy, its attack speed is simply too fast.

Even Spicy could only escape by using the "illusory form," so Egg Baby, who is even slower, would probably have no choice but to surrender.

Previously, Red Rose used the powerful weapon "High Explosion Rose" twice, and both times it had a common feature: she used "Entangling Vine Embrace" to imprison her opponent before using "High Explosion Rose".

The power of the [High-Explosive Rose] combat skill is too excessive, so it likely has corresponding drawbacks, if I'm not mistaken...

That means the hit rate is relatively low!

Therefore, temporarily disabling the opponent's [Entwined Vine Embrace] is equivalent to indirectly disabling the opponent's [High Explosion Rose]!
"Come back!" With Qin Lang's low shout, Lala, having activated her battle technique, transformed into a streak of light and was forcibly returned to the Star Vein.

This operation will prevent Lala from leaving Star Pulse for the time being, but its mission has been completely completed in this battle!

Continuing to fight would only result in being driven back to the Star Pulse.

[Forgetting Magic] Only five rounds, so be quick!

"Go, Egg Baby!"

"Gulu——"

With a low shout, Egg Baby, already prepared, charged onto the battle platform, enveloped in raging flames.

The moment it appeared, it activated its [Body of Vengeful Flames]!
"Interesting." Wen Yue recovered from her initial shock, a hint of fighting spirit appearing in her eyes.

"This battle doesn't seem as boring as I thought."
