“Chaka?”

How to train?

Spicy asked subconsciously, but seeing the odd expression on Lark’s face under the moonlight, she had an inkling that something was not quite right.

“Kra kra!”

If I catch you, you’re going to get hit!

Lark shouted excitedly, with his form flashing and suddenly appearing in front of Spicy. An invisible force enveloped Spicy, seemingly wanting to bind her completely.

Spicy: “!!!”

The moment she heard it, she instantaneously used Instant Teleportation to dodge to the other side without the slightest hesitation.

However, when she adjusted her line of sight, Lark had once again reappeared in front of Spicy, sticking to her like a shadow.

“Kra, kra kra!”

You’re too slow! Your reaction time after teleporting is too slow!

Lark laughed wildly. In the next moment, the invisible force had completely immobilized Spicy, making it impossible for her to teleport and escape.

Instant Teleportation entails an instantaneous change in spatial position. For the Food Spirit performing the combat skill, there is naturally a momentary adaptation process when the perspective suddenly changes from one position to another.

Spicy’s proficiency in Instant Teleportation is not low, and the adaptation time has been negligible for some time. However, compared with Lark, who had spent an indeterminate amount of time in grueling practice, her response was still too slow.

During the moment Spicy was adjusting her perspective, Lark had already completed the process of determining Spicy’s teleportation location, performing teleportation, and adjusting his view. He struck before Spicy could react.

“Chaka!!! Bacha!”

Spicy let out a terrified shout, followed by several screams.

After being hit hard a few times, Spicy was tossed casually by Lark toward the distance. The game of chase continued.

Ever while beating up Spicy, Lark demonstrated the Thought Waves, conveniently rescuing Dan Bao, whose Force Field of Thoughts had been shattered for the second time, from below the waterfall.

Doing two things at once, instructing both of the little ones at the same time.

A Four-star Food Spirit is this terrifying.

“Kra kra!”

Don’t leave, we will train until sunrise!

Lark’s excited shout, with a hint of eeriness, was drowned out by the continuous roar of the waterfall.

“Qin Lang, Shen Qian, it’s time to go watch the sunrise!”

Zhou Tianhao’s voice outside the tent gradually roused the sleeping Qin Lang.

He sat up in a daze from the tent, using the dim lantern hanging inside the tent to put on his clothes.

While dressing, he paused momentarily.

It seemed like something was missing?

Looking around the tent, Qin Lang gave a start, suddenly fully awake.

Where are Dan Bao and Spicy?!

He quickly dressed and walked out of the tent, only to find that the two little guys were not playing nearby, having woken up earlier than him.

They’re missing?!

“What happened?” Shen Qian, who had exited the tent almost at the same time, noticed the worry and panic on Qin Lang’s face and couldn’t help but ask.

“Both my Food Spirits are gone!” Qin Lang blurted out.

“Huh?” A “Are you kidding me?” expression appeared on Shen Qian’s face.

Food Spirits and Spirit Chefs are intrinsically linked and need the power of the Star Vein to exist; they cannot separate from the Spirit Chef.

They’re like extensions of the Spirit Chef.

Thus, in Shen Qian’s eyes, what Qjn Lang said was just as bizarre as waking up one morning to find that she was missing an arm.

“Don’t panic, they might just be playing nearby.” Zhou Tianhao patted Qin Lang’s shoulder, “My Lark has also disappeared. It’s normal for Food Spirits to be playful sometimes.”

Zhou Tianhao, on the other hand, was quite calm compared to Qin Lang.

The main reason was that similar incidents had happened to him quite a number of times.

Seeing Qin Lang still worried, Zhou Tianhao reminded him, “Don’t forget, there is a contract between the Spirit Chef and the Food Spirits. This contract connects both sides.”

“Right!” Qin Lang beamed, a lightbulb moment lighting his eyes.

This was his first time dealing with this situation, his worries leaving him muddled. But as soon as Zhou Tianhao reminded him, he swiftly regained his composure, sinking his senses down into the two Star Veins within him.

The moment he did this, Qin Lang’s expression turned unusually strange.

The Spiritual Power within his two Star Veins had unknowingly nearly run dry, currently in a slow process of recovery. But once the power started to recover to some degree, it again started to drain out.

This implied that the two Food Spirits had been relentlessly using their skills.

From the consumption of Spiritual Power in one shot, Qin Lang could even deduce that Dan Bao was using Thought Waves while Spicy was manipulating Instant Teleportation.

Could it be that these two little creatures have encountered danger?

However, through the connection between Star Veins and Food Spirits, he instantly grasped the distance and direction of these two from him.

“Huh?” Zhou Tianhao beside him also mapped out a questionable expression.

While reminding Qin Lang, he also checked the condition of his Star Vein.

Why was Lark so far away from him, and constantly using combat skills?

Putting two and two together, considering the disappearance of Qin Lang’s two Food Spirits, Zhou Tianhao suddenly surmised a puzzling guess.

“Are your Food Spirits located in that direction? It seems a great distance from here,” Zhou Tianhao inquired, indicating the position where he sensed Lark to be.

“Indeed! That’s right,” Hearing Zhou Tianhao’s question, Qin Lang pondered, “Is Lark also in that location?”

“It seems like they’re together.” Zhou Tianhao fell silent for a moment. Then his gaze turned sharp as he locked onto Jiela who squirmed under his gaze. “Where did they go?”

Jiela, who had stood guard all night, would certainly know the whereabouts of these three Food Spirits!

Jiela fell silent.

Watching Zhou Tianhao slowly raise his fist, Jiela was weighing the importance of a delicious meal against being beaten up.

“Caw!”

I’ll say!

At the precipice, right before Zhou Tianhao was about to swing, it made its decision.

Once Jiela honestly confessed everything about last night, the expressions of the trio, Qin Lang and company, gradually turned colorful.

Huh?

Huh???

Lark had secretly taken Dan Bao and Spicy and run away?

“We should go look for them together.” Zhou Tianhao scratched his head and his face flushed a bit awkward, seemingly it was Lark’s doing.

“Alright.” Qin Lang nodded without hesitation, feeling slightly less worried knowing that Lark was also involved. After all, Lark was a Four-star Food Spirit, very powerful, they probably wouldn’t run into big trouble.

But his confusion grew.

What were they doing following Lark?

Without the slightest hesitation, both left the tent on the spot, abandoning the sunrise viewing they had planned, heading in the sensed direction.

Shen Qian thought for moment and followed.

Glancing around at the surrounding landscape in the dim pre-dawn light, observing the general direction they were heading in, she suddenly spoke, “This direction…does it seem like it’s where Lanqiu Waterfall is?”

Hearing this, Zhou Tianhao and Qjn Lang were baffled.

Lanqiu Waterfall?

As Shen Qian said, considering the distance they sensed through their Star Veins, the three small ones’ location indeed seemed quite close to Lanqiu Waterfall.

The group of them quickened their pace, and with the sky gradually lightening, they finally reached the water-bearing pool under Lanqiu Waterfall.

Qin Lang immediately spotted the two figures he had been worried about for so long.

“You two little rascals!”
