I am the Holy Poisoner, the Empress advised me to calm down

Liu Qingcheng's eyes flickered slightly, and her voice was low and firm: "I think this time the enemy is not just here to cause trouble. Their actions are organized and planned, and there seems to be a bigger conspiracy behind them."

"You are right." The eldest prince nodded, his eyes becoming more serious. "We cannot let our guard down. We must be prepared for any eventuality."

Just then, hurried footsteps were heard outside the tent, and the envoy hurried in, his face full of anxiety and worry.

"Oh no! A large number of unidentified creatures appeared near the village, and the villagers fell into chaos!" said the envoy, panting.

The eldest prince and Liu Qingcheng looked at each other, and a hint of determination flashed in their eyes.

"Let's go and take a look." The eldest prince said in a deep voice.

They quickly left the tent and saw the village in a commotion, with villagers screaming one after another. In the distance, dark clouds seemed to be rolling in the sky, and the air was filled with an oppressive atmosphere.

The team led by Garlon is already at the scene. They are working hard to evacuate the crowd and try to stop the invasion of these unknown creatures.

"What are these things?" a young villager asked the person next to him in horror. "They look so scary!"

The old man next to him sighed: "Young man, the world is unpredictable. But as long as the warriors are here, we are not afraid of these monsters."

At this time, Lilia squeezed through the crowd, clutching the corner of her clothes tightly, with fear and determination in her eyes.

"Come on, Sister Ye Qingqing, Brother Jialong, you must win!" she shouted loudly, trying to cheer up everyone present.

Liu Qingcheng smiled slightly, nodded to Lilia, and then turned around to join the team in combat. She swung her whip, accurately repelling several creatures that rushed forward.

"Everyone, don't panic, maintain formation!" Da Huangzi commanded loudly. He swung his sword to fight, and every move was powerful.

Seeing this, the surrounding villagers fell silent, their eyes fixed on the group of warriors. A little girl clutched her father's hand tightly, her eyes filled with awe: "Dad, they are so amazing, just like the heroes in the legend!"

An old man said with emotion: "Indeed, this is a blessing for our village! With them, these monsters are no match at all!"

Suddenly, a gigantic monster emerged from the ground. Its massive size and deafening roar sent the villagers retreating in fear, with a few timid souls collapsing on the ground.

"Be careful! This is a powerful leader monster!" Ye Qingqing warned, her tone revealing unprecedented tension.

"Everyone come together and concentrate your firepower!" Garlon ordered, his eyes determined.

At the height of the battle, a strange gust of wind blew, and the energy in the air seemed to be rebalanced. The huge monster suddenly stopped attacking, its eyes showing pain, and then it slowly fell to the ground, motionless.

"What happened?" Jack asked in surprise.

Ivy took a deep breath and felt the subtle changes in the air: "The energy balance here has been restored, and the monster has lost its power."

"Anyway, thank God!" said a young mother with tears of gratitude.

The battle finally ended, and the villagers came forward to thank the warriors. The little girl ran to the eldest prince again and presented him with an apple: "Thank you for saving our home. I hope to become a hero like you when I grow up."

The eldest prince smiled and gently touched the little girl's head: "As long as you insist on being brave and just, you will definitely succeed."

At this moment, the figure in the distant dense forest appeared again. He watched all this with a meaningful smile on his face.

"Interesting...it seems the next story will be even more exciting." He murmured softly, then slowly retreated into the depths of the shade and disappeared.

Just as everyone breathed a sigh of relief and prepared to take a short break, the envoy's voice suddenly rang out: "Wait, have you noticed that the changes in this land haven't completely subsided? Perhaps there are even more terrifying crises lurking..."

As the envoy's words fell, an inexplicable sense of heaviness spread. The villagers' faces, which had once relaxed, were once again shrouded in a shadow, and many people subconsciously clasped the hands of their loved ones or friends.

"What do you think is going on?" a young villager asked nervously, his eyes full of uncertainty and fear.

Liu Qingcheng took a few steps forward, scanning everyone, trying to offer some comfort. "Don't worry, everyone. We will investigate the cause and ensure the safety of the village."

Before he finished speaking, an old man in a tattered cloak slowly stepped out from the crowd. His steps were a bit unsteady, but each one was steady and composed. "Don't be afraid, children. With so many brave warriors by our side, what do we have to fear?" The old man's voice was filled with unyielding strength.

"Yes! He's right!" Several enthusiastic young men immediately responded, trying to dispel the heavy atmosphere in the air. However, deep down in their hearts, they still felt uneasy and worried - after all, they had just experienced a war that almost destroyed the entire village.

Seeing this, the eldest prince nodded slightly and gave instructions to the team members: "Ye Qingqing, Jialong, you will lead the team to patrol the surrounding area first. Jack will be responsible for checking that all weapons are complete and ready to respond to emergencies at any time. As for the others..." He turned to the onlookers and said gently but firmly, "You need to cooperate with our work and notify us immediately if you find anything."

Just as everyone was busy following the instructions, Lilia stopped Ivy, who was about to leave to help the injured soldiers. "Sister, what happened to that strange change just now?" Her face was full of confusion, and her eyes showed a desire to know the truth.

Ivy paused and thought carefully for a few seconds before answering, "Actually, I'm not quite sure about the specific reason myself, but what is certain is that there is an unknown force at work here, and it is very likely related to this monster attack."

After hearing this ambiguous answer, the girl, though still confused, didn't press the issue further. Instead, she nodded vigorously, indicating that she would be cautious. "Then you must be careful!" she added, finally letting Ivy go.

At this moment, a deep but penetrating roar suddenly rang out from the depths of the dense forest, leaving one's hair standing on end. Suddenly, the entire place fell silent, as if even the air had been frozen by this sudden sound.
