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

"Of course not," Abu replied immediately. "Our mission is to protect this land from any threat, no matter who it is. Your enemies are also our enemies, because they try to destroy the balance of the snow mountain."

"Okay," Lin Chen said after a moment's silence, "Then let's do this. We will accept your help temporarily, but we hope you can keep your promise and not cause us any harm."

"That will never happen," Abu said firmly. "We will do our best to help you."

At this moment, footsteps were heard outside the door again. This time, everyone reacted quickly, holding their weapons tightly, ready to respond to any possible situation.

"There's movement again!" Xiaohu whispered, his eyes full of alertness.

Abu also seemed a little nervous, but he quickly calmed down: "Don't worry, they are our reinforcements."

The door was pushed open, and several people wearing similar heavy clothes walked in. One of the men held a roll of parchment in his hand and handed it to Abu.

"This is the intelligence we just gathered," the man whispered. "The enemy's main force has begun to assemble and will probably launch an attack soon."

Upon hearing the news, everyone suddenly became nervous and turned their eyes to Abu.

"We have to act quickly," Lin Chen said, "Abu, what do you think we should do?"

"According to the plan, we need to move to a new hiding place immediately," Abu said, "I have already arranged it. You follow us and I will take you to a safe place."

"Okay," Lin Chen nodded in agreement, "Everyone get ready to go."

Just as they were about to leave the cabin, they heard hurried footsteps outside again, this time more urgent than before.

"What's going on?" Xiaomei asked with a frown.

"Wait, this sound doesn't sound good," Li Feng said, "Could it be that the enemy arrived early?"

Abu's expression grew serious. He quickly walked to the door and looked out the window. Sure enough, several fast-moving figures appeared in the snow outside.

"Oh no! The enemy is really coming!" Abu turned around and shouted, "We have to get out of here quickly!"

"Hurry up!" Lin Chen shouted, and then led everyone out of the wooden house, following closely behind Abu and his companions, and ran towards the dense forest in the distance.

"I didn't expect the enemy to catch up so quickly," Xiaohu said breathlessly, "We have to speed up."

"It's okay," Lin Chen said through gritted teeth, "As long as we can successfully reach that safe place, there is still hope."

"Everyone, hold on!" Yun Shu encouraged from the side, "We will definitely be able to overcome this difficulty."

Just as they were running at full speed, a deep voice suddenly came from the woods ahead: "Are you here to seek refuge with me?"

Hearing this, everyone stopped and was filled with doubts.

"Who's there?" Lin Chen asked loudly, looking around vigilantly.

A man in a black robe slowly walked out from the shadow of the woods, with a mysterious smile on his face.

"Welcome to my territory," the man in black said slowly, "I am the true master of this snowy mountain."

"Who are you?" Lin Chen asked, with a sharp light flashing in his eyes.

"I'll tell you about this when I get there," the man in black said with a smile, "Now follow me. I can protect you from being hunted down."

Everyone looked at each other, full of doubts, but there seemed to be no other choice at the moment.

"We'll go with you," Lin Chen said solemnly, "but if you dare to deceive us, you'll bear the consequences."

"Don't worry," the man in black chuckled, "you won't be disappointed."

As they followed the man in black deeper into the dense forest, they heard the sound of enemy footsteps approaching from behind. At this moment, everyone's heart was in their throat.

"Can we trust this person?" Xiaomei asked in a low voice.

"I don't know," Lin Chen replied, "but we have no choice now. We can only take it one step at a time."

They continued on their journey, but what awaited them ahead was a new challenge or an unknown hope? Everything remained unknown. They also needed to find out the true intentions of the man in black.

"You're right. We can't let our guard down." Li Feng nodded in agreement. "But this cave is indeed a good place. At least it can serve as a safe haven for the time being."

As everyone was discussing this, a young man named Xiaohu suddenly spoke up, "Hey, do you think this place is really special? I was just looking around and found that these gems can actually glow!"

Xiaomei, who was standing next to him, also looked over curiously and couldn't help but exclaim in admiration: "Yes, there are even some strange symbols carved on the walls. It looks very ancient and mysterious."

"These are relics left by our ancestors, and countless secrets are hidden in every corner." The man in black appeared at the right moment and explained, "However, it will take a long time to truly understand the power contained within."

Yun Shu frowned and asked, "Then can you help us?"

"Of course, I will do my best to teach you all I know." He paused, "But before that, I hope you can settle down and have a good rest."

At that moment, a soldier stumbled past them. Seeing the situation inside, he involuntarily slowed down his pace. He whispered to his comrades, "It's incredible! These people actually managed to enter the core area of ​​the Snow Mountain Guardians. Who are they?"

Hearing this, the comrade also cast a surprised look, and then responded: "Who cares, as long as he doesn't cause trouble."

While the two continued to whisper, Lin Chen and others had already packed their bags and were led by the man in black to the room prepared for them.

After passing through several doors, the group arrived at a small, rustic yet cozy cottage. The furnishings were simple yet elegant, and the bed was clean and comfortable, clearly having been carefully arranged.

"This is the residence we specially prepared for you. We hope you will be satisfied." The man in black said with a smile.

Looking at everything in front of him, Lin Chen felt a warm current in his heart, and his gratitude was beyond words: "Thank you for your help, we are all very grateful."

Meanwhile, several passersby on the other side began to discuss the situation. "We're so lucky to have received the protection of the Guardian! This is simply legendary!" a young man shouted excitedly.

"Yes, it would be great if I could encounter such an opportunity!" another person said enviously.

Lin Chen ignored the chaotic outside world and sat silently on his bed, pondering his future path. He knew there were many unknown challenges ahead, but no matter how difficult or difficult the situation, he would not give up the faith in his heart.
