After leaving the Desert Kingdom, the group continued on their journey. While passing through a mysterious forest, Lin Xiu and the others sensed a strange tranquility permeating the woods; all the animals had gone into hiding, leaving not a single trace. A gentle breeze swept through, causing the leaves to rustle, yet no birdsong or insect chirping could be heard. This unnatural stillness put everyone on high alert.
Suddenly, an eerie green light flashed from deep within the woods. Immediately afterward, the ground began to shake violently, and massive tree roots burst through the soil, slithering toward the group like pythons. These roots were thick and resilient, their surfaces covered in sharp thorns, and wherever they passed, trees were ripped up by the roots.
Lin Xiu reacted swiftly, casting the "Chaos Star Shield". Stellar Power intertwined with the power of the Winter Stars to form an indestructible barrier, protecting everyone inside. The roots crashed against the shield with a dull thud, sending splinters flying in all directions.
