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

"That's great. With your help, I believe there is no difficulty we can't overcome." Lin Chen smiled.

"Then let us face the challenges ahead together." The soldier said confidently, his eyes full of trust and determination.

Thus, with the arrival of new comrades, this expedition team composed of brave men launched a challenge to the unknown world. However, they all knew that the real battle had just begun...

"What secret is hidden behind this door?" Li Na asked, her eyes full of curiosity.

Lin Chen looked at his teammates, then back at the door. "No matter what difficulties we face, we will not back down," he said firmly. "Are you ready?"

"Always be prepared!" the team members said in unison, with determination and courage flashing in their eyes.

Just as they were about to push open the door, a sudden shadow enveloped the entire space... "Wait, Captain!" Lu Gang suddenly reached out to stop Lin Chen. "Look over there!" Everyone looked in the direction of his finger and saw a thick black fog slowly rising from the end of the passage. The black fog gradually spread, enveloping the entire space, as if it was about to swallow everything.

"What is this?" Li Na tightened her grip on the sword in her hand and looked around vigilantly.

The Guardian's voice came from the side: "It seems that the enemy's power has been activated..." Before it could finish its words, a low and hostile roar was heard. "You must be careful, this dark energy is not friendly."

At this time, Wang Qiang, a veteran sent by Zhao Tian, ​​stepped forward and said calmly, "Looks like we need to speed up. Captain, no matter what's behind the door, let's solve the problem at hand first."

"Good idea! Everyone, stay alert and follow me!" Lin Chen gave a decisive order, then gently pushed open the door. As the door slowly swung open, a gentle yet powerful light poured out, illuminating the darkness outside. It was a spacious circular room with a massive stone platform in the center. Upon it sat an ancient weapon, emitting a faint blue glow.

Just as everyone was about to explore further, several dark shadows emerged from all directions and instantly rushed towards the expedition team. The team members quickly reacted and sought cover, preparing to fight these unexpected enemies.

"I didn't expect there were so many ambushes here!" shouted a young team member, his face full of tension and fear.

"Don't be afraid, boys, this is the time to test us." Wang Qiang smiled toughly, raised the machine gun in his hand, and fired at the nearest wave of black shadows.

In the fierce exchange of fire, the entire room was filled with the sound of explosions and the bright light emitted by laser beams hitting objects. Li Na nimbly dodged the enemy's attacks and quickly looked for opportunities to counterattack. "Captain, should we just take that weapon away?"

"No rush, let's clean up the surroundings first." Lin Chen responded. As he spoke, he suddenly discovered several well-hidden tunnels in the corner. "Hey, it seems the enemy may launch an attack through these tunnels again. I need to allocate some manpower to block them."

"No problem, I'll take a few people to take a look." Wang Qiang responded, turned around and led several team members towards the tunnel entrance.

Meanwhile, outside the gate, the soldiers who had come to support were also busy fending off more black creatures attempting to invade the core area. "We must find the source and eliminate it as soon as possible!" Zhao Tian kept sending messages to Lin Chen through the intercom.

Inside the room, the Guardian floated into the air, stretched out its hands, and released circles of white light to help the expedition team resist the enemy. "Hurry, time is running out," it warned.

Finally, with everyone's combined efforts, the last wave of attackers was eliminated. The team gathered in front of the stone platform again, all eyes focused on the legendary weapon.

Just as Lin Chen reached out to take it, a voice suddenly rang out: "Wait a minute!"

Everyone turned around and saw that the person speaking was a young man they had never seen before. He looked like the leader of a tribe. "Are you planning to use this to fight the darkness?" he asked curiously, his tone filled with both awe and a hint of challenge.

"Yes, we are going to use this weapon to defeat the evil force." Li Na replied with a firm look in her eyes.

The young man nodded, a glint in his eyes. "Well, if it's really possible to save the world, I believe you can do it. But remember, true strength comes from inner courage and determination."

"Thank you for your trust and support. We will remember this." Lin Chen smiled, then firmly grasped the weapon...

At this moment, there was a new noise outside. "Captain, it seems that more enemies are approaching!" the team member shouted anxiously.

"Well, we don't have time to waste." Lin Chen looked up at everyone, "Grab your weapons and set off! This battle is far from over."

"Yes, Captain!" the entire group responded in unison, and with these resounding words, they set out on their journey. In the distance, a new challenge awaited these intrepid explorers. "Hey, have you heard? There seems to be something going on over there!" a passing soldier excitedly said to his companions, his voice filled with curiosity and anticipation.

"What's the big commotion?" another soldier asked curiously.

"It's Captain Lin Chen and his team. Just now, there was a fierce battle erupting there, along with strange energy fluctuations." The first soldier gestured, his eyes gleaming with excitement. "It seems they've encountered a powerful enemy!"

The two quickly ran to the place where the battle took place. At this time, Lin Chen and his team had regrouped in front of the stone platform, holding the legendary weapon, ready to meet new challenges.

"Look, that's them!" the soldier who first noticed the situation pointed ahead. The two men followed his gaze and saw a group of fully armed men standing in the center of the room. Among them, a few stood out. It was Captain Lin Chen, holding a weapon emitting a blue glow, giving off an air of mystery and inviolability.

"Wow, that weapon really exists!" the soldier next to him exclaimed. "It's a legendary holy object that can be used to fight against the forces of darkness."

At this moment, the voice outside the door sounded again: "The enemy is approaching, get ready quickly!" Zhao Tian's anxious voice came through the walkie-talkie, reminding everyone of the urgent situation they were facing.

As more reinforcements arrived, the room gradually became crowded. When the new soldiers saw the mysterious weapon in Lin Chen's hand, a mixture of awe and envy appeared in their eyes. "Captain, you're amazing!" a newly joined young soldier whispered.
