Chapter 074: Combined Spirit Spells

“Roar!”
The green giant let out a roar, seemingly as a warning or a threat. But once it realized that the tiny creature before it posed no threat at all, it stopped.
If not for another black tiger-like beast drinking water on the other side holding it back, it would have rushed over and torn Chen Xiao to pieces long ago.
Boom… boom… boom…
At that moment, five or six more enormous, terrifying giants of various shapes slowly approached. When they saw the green and blue giants, they paused briefly before heading toward the lake in another direction to drink water.
It was precisely because of the arrival of these beasts that the green giant temporarily lost interest in Chen Xiao and became alert to the other threats.
“Damn old thing! This is nothing but a prehistoric park! Sending me here on a mission is worse than just killing me!” With so many terrifying giants on land alone, one can only imagine the dangers lurking in that seemingly endless lake.
Chen Xiao almost immediately wanted to give up on this mission. This was definitely not a place for humans to stay. He had no doubt that even Suo Hen would be torn to pieces by these beasts.
By now, more and more beasts were gathering by the lake, of all sizes and strengths—some weak, below the first rank, while others were so powerful that Chen Xiao couldn’t even fathom their strength.
Chen Xiao realized that the green giant must have come here to protect the blue aquatic giant.
At that moment, many powerful beasts also noticed Chen Xiao, this weak outsider. But since he was too close to the green giant, they hesitated to attack out of fear of it.
Chen Xiao looked up at the gray sky helplessly. It seemed difficult to leave now.
Should he summon Suo Hen and the others? Likely, the moment their powerful auras appeared, the beasts would go berserk and attack without hesitation.
“Heaven, why didn’t you give me wings? At least that way I could fly away.”
As Chen Xiao lamented, whoosh… a group of five-meter-tall fiery red giant birds descended from the sky.
Chen Xiao: “…”
Finally, one of the beasts couldn’t hold back. It bared its teeth and slowly approached Chen Xiao.
“Roar!”
Suddenly, the green giant by the lake let out a thunderous roar, glaring fiercely at the approaching beast.
The other giants seemed extremely afraid of the green giant. At the sound of its angry roar, they shuddered involuntarily and retreated. The beast that had been approaching Chen Xiao turned and ran away.
“Huh…”
Chen Xiao smirked. It seemed he would have to rely on the green giant for protection for now. But what if those beasts drinking water left?
The green giant would likely tear Chen Xiao to pieces without hesitation.

Watching the cyan giant beast’s blood-red eyes vigilantly scan the surroundings, and then noticing the tenderness inadvertently shown by the blue giant beast beside it, Chen Xiao gritted his teeth and slowly approached them. The cyan giant beast had also noticed Chen Xiao, but seemingly believing he posed no threat, it ignored him and merely glared at him as a warning—after all, there were too many powerful beings in the area threatening the beasts around it. When he reached a relatively safe distance, at least one where Chen Xiao had enough time to react, he stopped. Going any further would be pointless; that beast could kill him with a single swipe of its claw. Chen Xiao clenched his hand slightly, and the Star and Moon Staff appeared in his hand. Slowly, he carefully inscribed a spiritual spell, with green life water creating ripples in the air. A vast surge of vitality spread out from Chen Xiao in all directions. By now, Chen Xiao had used all his strength; he had only retained a trace of his fourth-level mental power to maintain communication with the Main God’s Space, allowing him to leave at any time. A fourth-level sorcerer could already cast spiritual spells instantly. But if a sorcerer above fourth level carefully inscribed such a spell, its power would be truly earth-shattering. Cold sweat trickled down Chen Xiao’s forehead as he wildly swung his Star and Moon Staff, intricate patterns continuously forming beneath it. Buzzing… These intricate patterns began to tremble slightly, emitting a series of buzzing sounds. At that moment, all the fierce beasts drinking water nearby stopped, turned their heads, and stared intently at the strange spiritual spell before Chen Xiao. The Combined Spiritual Spell—a set of spells composed of seven different spells—was something Chen Xiao had learned in the secret archives at the Soul of China headquarters. But with his current strength, if it weren’t for him mastering the “Control” technique and having the Star and Moon Staff as an aid, he probably wouldn’t have been able to cast it at all. With the support of life water, the power of this Combined Spiritual Spell surged, enveloping an area of thirty meters in a vast surge of vitality. The slightly spreading vitality was also absorbed by these fierce beasts. One by one, they involuntarily moved closer to Chen Xiao, even the cyan fierce beast forgetting to drive them away. The wound on the blue aquatic beast’s abdomen, touched by this surge of vitality, began to heal slowly. “Go!” Suddenly, Chen Xiao swung his staff, and the Combined Spiritual Spell instantly transformed into a green beam of light, rushing toward the blue aquatic beast. “Ugh…” A slightly pained cry escaped its mouth. Immediately afterward, the wound on its abdomen began to heal at a visible speed, with new flesh sprouting and writhing. Its originally damaged internal organs also began to heal under the effect of the life water spell.

In just a few breaths, the body of this blue aquatic beast was completely healed, even any previous hidden ailments vanished without a trace. The green giant beside it also benefited greatly from the spiritual spell’s effect.
……
After casting the spell, Chen Xiao’s body went weak, and he nearly collapsed. This had nothing to do with physical strength or mental energy—it was purely a result of mental exhaustion.
At that moment, dozens of massive beasts surrounding him had completely encircled Chen Xiao, staring at him hungrily.
“Roar—!!!”
“Roar—!!!”
Immediately afterward, two angry roars came from behind, causing the ground beneath his feet and the lake behind him to tremble violently.
Seeing this, the beasts around him were terrified, letting out mournful cries as they scattered in all directions. Even those weaker beasts that hadn’t participated in surrounding Chen Xiao fled as well.
“Ugh…”
A soft roar sounded. The blue aquatic beast’s blood-red eyes showed traces of gratitude as it slowly walked toward Chen Xiao.
