The Spirit of Gourmet

Chapter 563 A Deceptive Fog, A Real Opponent

"You are…"

Looking at the two people in front of her, Qiao Yu looked bewildered, but the expressions of Qin Lang and the other two became strange at this moment.

"I have to say, you two are really persistent!" Cao Dongdong clicked his tongue and summoned his food spirit, Tuan Tuan. "You actually chased me all the way here."

"Although the current situation isn't ideal, since you're here..." Zhao Qian snorted and summoned Bubu and Manao, "then don't leave! Miss Qiao Yu is here too, so I'll just send you two to jail!"

"Egg Treasure, Spicy, let's make our move too!" Qin Lang called out in a low voice, and the two food spirits looked at each other on the other side, at their old rival who was standing next to Liu Chuang.

"Do you really think we're afraid of you?" Liu Chuang grinned. "If you hadn't had those tough guys with you, we would have made our move long ago."

"A formidable woman..." Qin Lang paused for a moment, then suddenly realized, "Are you referring to Sister Tang Yu?"

"Even if she weren't here, you still wouldn't be a match for us!"

"Egg Baby, warm up!"

"Spicy, terrifying gaze!"

"Gurgle!" Egg Baby exclaimed softly, and with a sudden burst of flames, its body rapidly changed from pale yellow to orange, entering an enhanced state.

"Crack!" Spicy revealed two small tiger teeth and glared fiercely at Pipi and Little Mantis, the two food spirits beside Liu Chuang. A surge of mental power swept out and instantly gathered into terrifying blood-red eyes behind its back, which also glared at the two food spirits.

Pipi's movement, which was about to rush towards Egg Baby, suddenly froze, and the weaker Little Mantis let out a terrified scream.

"Egg Baby, use Flame Charge!"

With a low shout from Qin Lang, Egg Baby instantly transformed into a blazing fireball and charged forward. However, unexpectedly, its charge was not aimed at Pipi and Little Mantis, but rather at the sky above its own head.

"Huh?" Liu Chuang was stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter. "Qin Lang, your Food Spirits seem to have lost their way!"

"Since they've given us such a great opportunity, I won't miss it!"

"Pipi, use Dark Claw!"

"Hiss!" A sly glint flashed in Pipi's eyes. Originally rushing towards Egg Treasure, it suddenly changed direction and attacked Spicy. The huge black claw shadow instantly surrounded its small body.

Meanwhile, on the other side, Little Mantis also let out a roar and, under Liu Chuang's command, attacked towards Lala's direction as well.

Attack from both sides!

However, Qin Lang was not worried at all in the face of such an urgent situation.

"Can't find your way, huh..." A glint of light flashed in his eyes, and he raised a hand and swung it sharply in Liu Chuang's direction. "Use Starfire Dive!"

"Gulu——"

Egg Baby's voice came from high above, followed by clusters of flames that swirled and fell rapidly as it plummeted downwards, like a meteor shower.

Fire-based combat skill, [Starfire Dive]!
On the other side, Spicy's figure quietly became illusory just before the attacks of the two opposing food spirits were about to arrive. It even playfully made a face at the two food spirits.

Mental combat technique, [Illusory Form]!
Before Pipi and Little Mantis could react, the fire meteor shower descended from the sky. Accompanied by a series of booming sounds, the high temperature and energy fluctuations generated by the flames instantly stirred up a gale around them, creating waves on the sea and completely dispersing the fog on the sea surface.

The combined buffs from a warm-up exercise, along with the [Raging Charge] followed by the [Berserk] state, provide a terrifying boost to Eggman.

Falling from a height also increases the power of [Starfire Dive].

All of this amplified the power of the [Starfire Dive] attack. The weaker Mantis was instantly sent back to the Star Vein, and even Clefairy, whose level was higher than Eggbaby, was now in a weakened state. "Stop for a moment!" Qiao Yu's anxious voice rang out at this moment.

Qin Lang, along with Cao Dongdong and Zhao Qian, who were locked in a stalemate with Luo Mi, all looked at Qiao Yu at the same time.

"Miss Qiao Yu, these two guys are from the rare animal hunting team!" Zhao Qian couldn't help but exclaim. "Quickly, join forces and capture them!"

"The Treasure Hunting Team?" Qiao Yu was taken aback for a moment, then shook her head. "Let's put the Treasure Hunting Team aside for now. There seems to be something wrong with the fog just now."

As she spoke, she pointed to Guanling City, which was not far behind them.

"We're still in the same place; we haven't gone anywhere."

"How could this be..." Qin Lang and the other two were stunned at the same time.

They were prepared to disappear along with the speedboat, so how could they be completely unaffected?

Could the fog we just saw have been caused by the Qili Bay monster?
and many more!

Qin Lang suddenly looked at Liu Chuang and Luo Mi, "It's you two?"

"Kukuku~ You only realized it now?" Lomi grinned. "I heard you were looking for fog at sea. Since that's the case, as your old friends, of course we'll lend you a hand. It's just fog, easy peasy."

At this point, Lomi glanced at Liu Chuang, who looked unwell, and asked, "How are you? Are you alright?"

"Not bad." Liu Chuang snorted, his gaze towards Qin Lang filled with a complex emotion. "I didn't expect this guy to get stronger again after not seeing him for a while."

“Foolish junior, you say that every time.” Lomi grinned. “Fortunately, this time we are well prepared.”

“So…” She took out a remote control and pressed the only button on it, “enjoy the surprise I’ve prepared for you!”

Qin Lang and the others' expressions changed slightly. The next moment, they felt the speedboat beneath their feet suddenly tremble and shake violently, causing everyone on board to stumble.

Immediately afterwards, robotic arms emerged from the water beneath the speedboat, gripping its sides and securing it firmly.

Lomi grinned smugly, pulled Liu Chuang and jumped backward from the speedboat, landing precisely in a cabin that floated up from the water.

"Today, none of you three are getting away."

"Zhenling, we're determined to have her!"

As she spoke, Lomi grabbed the remote control stick inside the cockpit and yanked it down hard.

Amidst a series of mechanical sounds, the speedboat carrying Qin Lang and his companions was slowly lifted up, completely leaving the seawater and losing its ability to move.

"Oh no!" Upon seeing this, Qin Lang and the other two's expressions changed simultaneously.

Although it was unclear what Lomi was piloting, the other party had clearly come prepared this time.

Just as they were wondering what to do, a voice filled with anger drifted out from beside them.

"None of them are going to escape?"

"You two have been ignoring me ever since this started..."
