The Spirit of Gourmet

Chapter 29 Encounter, one-star spirit-eater!
“Hiss, hiss, hiss~”

A hoarse voice sounded in a dark forest.

In the dense forest, a young man with purple hair looked helplessly at the food spirit beside him, "I know you are hungry, but don't starve yourself first."

"If you keep saying you're hungry, I'll feel hungry too."

As he spoke, he couldn't help but rub his empty stomach and sighed, "If I had known it would be like this, I would have filled my stomach before taking action."

"Now we are in the wilderness and have no way to go out. We can only starve."

"His Ka~"

The spirit eater's head slowly drooped, his expression becoming depressed.

"It's okay, Xiaopi."

The purple-haired young man patted the Spirit Eater's head and looked at a few newly transplanted flowers in a piece of soft soil not far away, his eyes flashing with shrewdness.

"At the latest tomorrow, the organization will send someone to pick us up."

"We have stolen these rare flowers and seeds. Once we hand them over to the organization, we will definitely receive a large reward."

"Then we'll buy the best quality ingredients and eat as much as we want!"

Hearing the words of his own Royal Spirit Chef, Xiao Pi couldn't help but have an expectant look in his eyes.

The best quality ingredients?

Throughout its life, the food it had eaten was all very ordinary, and because the purple-haired young man's cooking skills were poor, the taste was hard to describe.

It is said that the best quality ingredients, even with the simplest cooking methods, will be extremely delicious without any seasoning.

Just thinking about this, Xiao Pi couldn't help swallowing, and his stomach seemed to be even hungrier.

For the sake of the upcoming delicious food, just be patient for now!

"Qin Lang, are you sure it's here?"

Walking to the end of the road and looking at the dense forest ahead, Zhao Qian couldn't help but show a look of doubt on her face.

"I'm not sure, but judging by the footprints, they've definitely entered the dense forest." Qin Lang looked at the dense forest in front of him. "And the dense forest is indeed a good place to hide, isn't it?"

"This area is difficult to monitor and has fertile soil."

"I was wondering how the other party preserved those rare flowers. After all, they went to such great lengths to steal them, so they must have wanted them alive."

"If you're in a dense forest, you can temporarily transplant the flowers into the soil to preserve them."

"Now that you mention it, it's true." Zhao Qian nodded slightly, her eyes showing a hint of excitement. "Let's go in and take a look!"

Qin Lang fell into deep thought after hearing this.

He and Zhao Qian are both spirit chefs who can use the guardianship of star spirits to protect themselves. Even if the opponent is very strong, it is impossible to hurt them in a short time. Even if the food spirit loses its combat ability, it will immediately return to the star veins.

Cao Dongdong has gone back to call for help, and reinforcements will arrive soon.

As the vanguard, it wouldn't be a bad idea for them to go in and take a look first.

If the other party is really inside, they will find a way to delay him.

If the other party is not here, look for him somewhere else.

Thinking of this, Qin Lang nodded.

"set off!"

Amidst the slight rustling sound, the two men and two spirits quietly walked into the dense forest. Considering that the person who stole the flowers might be hiding there, they tacitly kept quiet, even trying not to make any noise when walking.

As time passed, the two went deeper and deeper in their search.

After a moment, Zhao Qian paused slightly, pulled Qin Lang beside her, and spoke in a low voice.

"Did you hear any different sounds?"

sound?

Qin Lang held his breath and listened carefully to the sounds around him. Soon he heard an unusual noise.

He gave Zhao Qian a look that said "come over and take a look", and the two of them moved more quietly, cautiously approaching the location where the sound came from.

As the sound became clearer, their faces turned strange. This sound... why did it sound a bit like hunger?
"Look there!" Qin Lang patted Zhao Qian and pointed in a certain direction.

Through the gaps in the tree trunks, the two saw a purple-haired young man sitting on the ground. Beside him, a dark green food spirit was floating.

"He is the one who stole the flowers?" Zhao Qian asked in a low voice.

Qin Lang looked around the other person and soon saw several unusually bright flowers, exactly the same as the stolen flowers.

"It's him!" His tone suddenly became firm.

Having found the thief, both of them showed joy.

"Let me see how strong the opponent's food spirit is." Taking a deep breath, Qin Lang took out his mobile phone and scanned the opponent's food spirit from a distance.

[Type: Spirit Eater]

[Level: Lv15]

【Taste attributes: astringent】

[Elemental attribute: Dark]

【Food Skill: Cooking Modification】

[Combat Skills (excluding self-taught combat skills): (Dark) Shadow Assault, (Spirit) Illusion Camouflage]

[Experience Value: 23/100]

The level exceeds Lv10, and the opponent is a one-star food spirit!
Qin Lang's heart suddenly shook and his eyes became serious.

They have two food spirits, but the other one is of higher level.

Can you win?
For a moment, he had no answer.

Zhao Qian on the side had also completed the scan. Compared with Qin Lang, she was more experienced having fought many battles against spirit eaters. She was not frightened by the opponent's level, but quickly began to analyze the strength of both sides.

“Salty overcomes astringency, and astringency overcomes freshness.”

"The opponent's attack only does half damage to Danbo, but Bubu's attack on the opponent also only does half damage."

"The opponent is a dark-type spirit-eater. His only weakness is light-type. We don't have light-type combat skills, so we can only deal conventional damage."

"The opponent's awakened combat skills are dark and spiritual. The spiritual type can restrain water, fire, lightning, and wind types."

"But [Illusion Disguise] is not an offensive skill."

After a brief analysis, Zhao Qian looked at Qin Lang, her eyes filled with eagerness, "If the opponent doesn't have powerful self-taught combat skills, he can fight!"

As Zhao Qian finished her analysis, Qin Lang and Dan Bao couldn't help but look at her with admiration.

It’s amazing that he can remember the restraint relationships of so many attributes!

Zhao Qian couldn't help but curl up the corners of her mouth, "Do you want to fight?"

Upon hearing this, Qin Lang looked at the purple-haired young man carefully again.

Rare flowers are very valuable, and the purpose of stealing them is most likely to sell them for money.

This means that the other party’s financial conditions are not very good.

However, learning combat skills by yourself costs a lot of money.

Thinking about it this way, it is unlikely that the other party has self-taught combat skills. Even if he does, one is already the limit.

However, to be on the safe side, Qin Lang quickly checked the effects of the opponent's two currently known combat skills.

[(Dark) Shadow Strike (Original): Power 60, quickly dashes a certain distance, causing a small-scale shadow attack on the dash path and the end point.]

[(Spirit) Illusion Disguise (Non-Type): Disguise yourself to hide. Dispels when attacking or receiving damage, and adds 10 attack points to the next attack.]

Charge, Hide, and Strengthen...

The hesitation in Qin Lang's eyes quickly turned into determination.

"Let's attack together and subdue the opponent!"
