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

Cass whispered, "This must be the core guardian of the seal. It should not be underestimated."

The old man's voice echoed in the air again. Although it was a little weak, it could still be heard clearly: "This is the last barrier between the forces of light and darkness. Only by defeating it can we truly unlock the seal."

Passersby were shocked by the sight of these young warriors. One of them couldn't help but exclaim, "That's so cool! This is the first time I've witnessed such a great moment. I hope they can succeed."

On the other side, Lin Xi quickly gave orders: "Zhao Yan, Feirens, you two must attract its attention first. The little boy and I will find the right moment to deliver the fatal blow. The rest of you will be responsible for cleaning up those small spheres."

The plan was immediately executed, with Zhao Yan and Ferens leading the charge, launching a fierce attack on the giant snake. Each swing of their swords shone with brilliance, showing no fear even against such a formidable foe.

As they fought furiously, a flock of crows suddenly swooped down from the sky, each emitting strange energy fluctuations. They were clearly reinforcements sent by the enemy. A sudden cry of surprise erupted from the crowd, further heightening the tension.

Lin Xi took decisive action, casting a large-scale purification spell, repelling the dark crows one by one. "Don't panic, we must believe in the power of light!" she shouted in encouragement.

As the battle intensified, passersby exclaimed:

"My God, these people are just as brave and fearless as the heroes in the legend."

"Especially that female mage, her magic is so powerful, it feels like the whole world is lit up by her!"

"Look how well they work together, as if each knows what the other will do next."

At this point, Zhao Yan and Ferens, despite being at a disadvantage under the giant snake's continuous attacks, still fought tenaciously. Seeing this, Lin Xi immediately adjusted his strategy: "We must fight quickly! Little boy, follow me and aim for the bright spot in the center of its head! That's where the control center is."

The two of them moved swiftly, charging towards the monster's head and simultaneously unleashing their strongest attacks. A flash of white light instantly pierced the giant snake's forehead, causing it to twist in agony before slowly collapsing.

"Great!" an extremely excited young woman screamed, "You really did it, defeated such a terrifying thing!"

The old man's vision reappeared, smiling broadly as he said, "Well done, children. From now on, this will be a land of peace. Carry this glory with you into the wider world."

Lin Xi was filled with gratitude and bowed deeply to the sky. "Thank you for your guidance. Please rest assured and leave it to us!"

However, as everyone cheered, a strange dark cloud rose again on the distant horizon...

"It seems that our journey is not over yet." Ferrens calmly analyzed the situation.

Zhao Yan looked at his colleagues with determination: "No matter what challenges we face next, as long as we face them together, there will be no problem that cannot be solved."

The little boy looked up into the distance and asked, "Are there new miracles waiting for us to discover over there?"

Lin Xi smiled, took the little boy's hand and said, "Let's go, let's go and see how much unknown this world is waiting for us to explore."

And so, they embarked on a new journey, gradually advancing under the blessings and admiring gazes of passersby... Strange clouds rising on the distant horizon caught everyone's attention, and an indescribable sense of oppression filled the air. Although they had just experienced a difficult battle and won, everyone knew in their hearts that their mission was far from complete.

"What's that over there?" the little boy asked doubtfully, "Could it be a new enemy?"

Lin Xi gently stroked his head, her tone filled with comfort and confidence: "Don't worry, we have overcome many difficulties. No matter what lies ahead, we can face it together."

Passersby exclaimed again, they were deeply shocked by this scene:

"Wow, this girl is really a leader. She always makes people feel at ease." A young man praised.

"She and that group of young people are like true warriors, not afraid to sacrifice themselves to protect everyone." An old man was filled with emotion.

At this time, a young man in gorgeous clothes and holding a long sword walked out from the crowd. He looked like a noble warrior. The young man named Genos had a gleam in his eyes. He walked towards Lin Xi and saluted respectfully.

"Hello, I'm Genos, the captain of the nearby castle's guards," he introduced himself. "I've been following your battles, and I'm truly admirable. If you're willing, I hope to join your team and fight the unknown dangers ahead together."

This statement immediately triggered a greater discussion among the people around:

"Wow, even the Guards are volunteering to join! This is a huge affirmation!"

"That's what I mean. With such talented people joining us, we'll be more confident no matter what we encounter next."

Zhao Yan and Ferens exchanged a glance and nodded in agreement. Lin Xi smiled and extended his hand to Genos. "You're most welcome! With your help, we will become even stronger."

Just as everyone was about to set off again, a carrier pigeon suddenly flew in from the sky and landed directly on Lin Xi's shoulder. He took down the letter hanging at its feet and opened it to read carefully.

The message contained a hint about the underground depths of the Sealed Land, which seemed to conceal some important secret. "According to the letter, beneath the seal lies an ancient relic that may hold a divine artifact capable of completely defeating the forces of darkness," Lin Xi shared the information with the team.

"It sounds tempting, but I don't think it will be easy to find," Cass analyzed.

Ferens nodded and added, "Yes, this kind of thing will definitely have powerful guardians, but we are also strong enough to deal with it."

As the discussion got more and more interesting, the onlookers also cast more expectant glances:

"I'm really curious about what challenges they will face next. Every adventure feels so exciting."

"Especially the new warrior. He's so handsome and his fighting ability should be pretty good."

After calming down, the entire team officially set off, heading towards the dark cloud-covered area. Behind them, the people who saw them off waved goodbye, their hearts filled with admiration and anticipation.
