Chapter 159: Soul Shadow Searching for Relatives

As soon as Xinyang finished speaking, Hu Tao understood what he meant, and in an instant, the Homa staff in her hand burst into flames.

As expected, the tree roots, frightened by the flames, dared not move forward, twisting their bodies in an attempt to avoid the terrifying force.

Seeing this, Kurumi smiled triumphantly and then vigorously swung the Homa staff in her hand, making the flames even more intense.

At the same time, Walnut also created several fire butterflies, which danced and flew in all directions, igniting various parts of the tree roots.

Seeing this, Xin Yang quickly gathered the power of the wind element. With a wave of his hands, a powerful air current swept in, blending with Walnut's flames to form a massive fire tornado. Like a giant dragon, the fire tornado roared towards the tree's roots.

The tree roots sizzled under the scorching flames, as if groaning in pain. They began to shrink and retreat, no longer as arrogant as before.

Seeing this, everyone was overjoyed. Ayato took the opportunity to swing his sword, severing the tree roots weakened by the flames. He also used water to extinguish the charred roots, preventing a fire from forming.

Chongyun also joined the battle. His greatsword was imbued with the power of ice, and every swing could freeze the tree roots for a moment.

Yidou finally freed himself from the tree roots. He gasped for breath, his face full of fatigue. "Huh, these damn tree roots almost trapped me."

Xinyang and Linghua continued to cooperate, the wind element and the ice element intertwined together, and after the tree roots lost their vitality, the cold wind swept through the area again, extinguishing the embers.

At this time, the tree roots on the ground had been cleared away, and the surrounding trees had stopped shaking. It seemed that there would be nothing else in the short term.

Hu Tao patted Xin Yang's shoulder and said, "Your control over the wind element is very strong. I haven't even used my full strength yet and it's already over."

Ayato looked around, frowning slightly. "These tree roots seem to be controlled by some force. It seems the only way to completely solve the problem is to find the source."

Everyone nodded in agreement and began to look for clues.

Walnut skipped ahead, looking around, hoping to find some clues.

Chongyun carefully sensed the elemental fluctuations around him, trying to find the source of the control of the tree roots.

Yidou carried the mace, and although he was tired, he was still full of energy and ready to fight again at any time.

Xinyang and Linghua walked side by side, with wind and ice elements looming around them, always on guard. They carefully observed the scorched and frozen tree roots on the ground, hoping to find some clues.

At this time, Walnut's ghost suddenly discovered something and floated away, and everyone hurried to follow.

After everyone caught up, they found the shadow of a little boy.

The shadow of the little boy was floating quietly in the air. Everyone looked at each other, their hearts full of doubts.

Yidou came forward curiously and waved his hand, but found that his hand went straight through the little boy's body.

"Hey, little guy, who are you? Why are you here alone? And what's wrong with your body?" Yidou asked.

The shadow of the little boy moved slightly, but made no sound.

Walnut took a closer look and clapped her hands. "I remember now. He was a client of our Wangshengtang. It's been many years. How come he is here?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the little boy woke up. Seeing so many strangers in front of him, he instinctively wanted to run away.

Seeing this, everyone rushed to comfort him. Xin Yang said in a slow tone, "Don't be afraid, little one. We have no ill intentions. We just want to find out what happened here."

Linghua also smiled gently and said softly, "Yes, don't be afraid, we will protect you."

The little boy stopped trying to escape, but there was still vigilance in his eyes.

Walnut walked forward, squatted down, looked at the little boy and said, "Little boy, do you still remember me? How did you end up here?"

The little boy hesitated for a moment, and finally spoke slowly, his voice tender and weak: "I... I don't know how I got here, I just want to go home, I want to find my parents..."

Walnut thought for a moment and asked, "Do you remember what happened before you came here?"

The little boy shook his head, indicating that he didn't remember.

"That's a difficult situation." Walnut stroked his chin and thought.

Walnut gathered everyone together and said, "If I remember correctly, it was about two years ago. His family got lost while playing in the wild. They encountered a monster at night, and by the time they were found, they were already dead. I had already buried them all at that time. The General Affairs Department even gave them some money to hold a funeral. Logically, he shouldn't be here."

After hearing Kurumi's words, everyone fell into deep thought. Ayato frowned slightly and said, "This is quite strange. Perhaps there is some unknown force at work."

Chongyun pondered, "Could it be that some evil being is disrupting the order of the afterlife?"

The simple-minded Yidou finally reacted, "You mean he died two years ago! Then he is now..." Yidou swallowed.

Walnut nodded. "Yes, that's right. It's a spirit. I don't know why it appeared here. Maybe it has something to do with the bats and trees we encountered before."

Yidou picked up the mace and said, "I don't care what it is, but I'm the first one to disagree with bullying a child."

Xin Yang shook his head and said, "Don't be reckless. We don't know the specific situation yet. Any rash action may lead to more serious consequences."

Linghua looked at the little boy with pity in her eyes. She said softly, "This child is truly pitiful. Even though he's been buried, his soul still can't rest. We must find a way to help him find his way home and figure out the reason for all this."

Walnut nodded and said to the little boy, "Don't be afraid, little boy. We will help you. Think about it again. Is there any special place or feeling that reminds you of something?"

The little boy tried hard to recall, and suddenly his eyes lit up. He said, "I can't remember much. I just remember that I came out with my parents. Later, it seemed that a group of monsters separated us, and then I came here."

After hearing this, everyone had some guesses in their minds.

"No matter what, let's find his parents first." Walnut suggested.

Everyone nodded in agreement, "Since they were scattered by monsters, let's start looking for them from the nearby monster groups."

Chongyun pointed in a direction and said, "There's a strange smell over there."

Everyone headed in the direction Chongyun pointed, and the atmosphere was heavy along the way.

Not long after they started walking, they heard a low growl.

Everyone slowed down their pace and approached cautiously. They saw a group of hideous monsters wandering in an open space.

Yidou was about to rush forward without saying a word, but was stopped by Xinyang.

"Those monsters don't look right. Let's observe the situation first." Xinyang said.

When everyone saw clearly, they found that there were two figures, a man and a woman, in the center of those monsters.

"It's Dad and Mom," the little boy shouted.

This shout also attracted the attention of the monsters, and they all picked up their weapons and rushed towards the crowd.

The little boy shouted anxiously, "Save my mom and dad."

Xin Yang touched the little boy's head helplessly and said, "I must save him, but next time you encounter something like this, please don't alert the enemy, okay?"

Without waiting for Xinyang to finish his words, Yidou swung his mace and charged into the group of monsters.

Seeing that Yidou was completely in the upper hand, Xinyang stopped everyone and said, "Let Yidou vent his anger. He didn't have much room to perform in the last two battles. Let's go see his parents."

"Dad, Mom" ​​the little boy rushed to his parents.

After the family calmed down, Walnut asked, "Why are you here?"

The boy's parents replied, "A day ago, we suddenly woke up in a chaotic place. There were many monsters there. We kept running for safety. We thought we would be fine once we left, but we were still scattered by the monsters. Luckily, we met you."
