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

"Can this weapon really fight against those evil forces?" Li Na asked softly, her eyes flashing with anticipation for the unknown and a hint of uneasiness.

Lin Chen nodded firmly: "I believe we can. As long as we unite as one, there is nothing we can't overcome."

At this time, the sound outside the door sounded again, and Zhao Tian's voice came through the radio: "Lin Chen, the number of enemies is much greater than we imagined! We must find a solution as soon as possible!"

"Got it, Zhao Tian, ​​let's act now!" Lin Chen responded, then turned to the team members, "Are you ready?"

The team members answered in unison: "Always be prepared!"

Together, they pushed open the beautifully carved door, revealing a vast hall. In its center stood a massive stone platform, inlaid with a glowing blue gem. Ancient runes were carved into the walls, telling stories of ages past.

At this moment, a soldier suddenly shouted: "Look over there, the enemy appears!"

As soon as the words left her mouth, a group of dark shadows emerged from all directions, roaring and charging towards the expedition team. Li Na quickly drew her sword and charged at the nearest enemy. "Captain, leave this to us. You go get that weapon!" she shouted.

Lin Chen nodded. He cautiously walked toward the stone platform and gently touched the sapphire. Instantly, a powerful force surged into his body, and he felt an unprecedented sense of strength. But just as he was about to take the gem away, a voice interrupted him.

"Wait a minute!" A young and unfamiliar voice sounded. Everyone looked back and found a young man in ancient clothes standing at the door, his eyes full of vigilance and curiosity.

"Who are you?" Lin Chen asked vigilantly.

The young man smiled faintly. "I am one of the guardians of this civilization. My name is Alvin. Do you intend to use this artifact to fight against darkness?"

"Yes, we are trying to stop that evil force." Li Na replied in a firm tone.

Ivan nodded. "Very good. This artifact can indeed help you. But I must remind you that using it requires great strength and courage."

"We understand this," Lin Chen gripped the weapon tightly in his hand, "We will protect this world at all costs."

At this moment, the sound of fighting outside became louder and louder, and Zhao Tian's anxious voice came again: "Lin Chen, the enemies are increasing in number, we must act immediately!"

"Evan, do you have any suggestions?" Lin Chen looked at the young guardian.

After a moment's contemplation, Ivan said, "There is a secret passage in this hall that leads directly to the source of darkness. However, the path is extremely dangerous, and only the brave and wise can succeed."

"Then let's give it a try." Lin Chen said firmly.

Ivan nodded and pointed to an inconspicuous stone next to the stone platform: "Press it to open the secret passage."

Lin Chen followed the instructions and saw a dark hole slowly appear under the stone platform. At the same time, enemies outside began to pour into the hall, and the battle became more intense.

"We have to hurry!" Wang Qiangda shouted. He led several team members to hold the door and resist the enemy's attack.

"Follow us, don't fall behind!" Lin Chen shouted, leading the way into the dark cave. The team members followed closely behind him, disappearing into the darkness.

"They will succeed!" Ivan murmured to himself, with a glimmer of hope in his eyes.

The team groped their way forward in the darkness, finally catching sight of a glimmer of light. They entered a vast space, a massive altar in the center, surrounded by countless dark creatures. At the center of the altar was a massive black crystal, constantly emitting powerful dark energy.

"This is it." Lin Chen whispered, raised the weapon in his hand, and prepared to face the most difficult challenge.

"Captain, we will definitely win this time!" a team member shouted loudly, boosting everyone's morale.

At this moment, a powerful dark energy erupted from the altar, shrouding the entire space in darkness. Lin Chen and the others gripped their weapons, ready to face this life-or-death battle.

"We will not retreat!" Lin Chen shouted loudly, his voice echoing in the darkness, inspiring the hearts of every team member.

"No matter what difficulties we face, we will face them together!" The team members responded in unison, with unyielding flames burning in their eyes.

The battle in the darkness is about to begin, but everyone firmly believes that light will eventually defeat darkness. However, they also know that the real challenge has just begun...

"Hurry, everyone, follow me!" Lin Chen brandished his weapon, and a blue light burst forth from his hand, illuminating the path ahead. The surrounding dark creatures were blinded by the light and retreated.

"What a powerful force!" Wang Qiang shouted in surprise. While fending off the incoming enemies, he looked at Lin Chen, "Captain, your weapon is truly formidable!"

Li Na followed closely behind, her sword light intertwining with Lin Chen's blue light to form a solid barrier. "Captain, we will succeed!" she shouted to encourage everyone.

Led by the two, the team advanced swiftly, charging towards the core of the altar. Although the dark creatures along the way were numerous, they were all killed or driven back one by one thanks to the cooperation of Lin Chen and Li Na.

At this moment, a huge shadow suddenly fell from the sky, its huge wings flapping in the air, bringing gusts of wind. The giant beast's eyes flashed with an evil red light, and a deafening roar came from its mouth.

"What kind of monster is this!" exclaimed a team member, his voice full of fear.

"Don't be afraid!" Lin Chen shouted, the weapon in his hand shining brighter. "Let's go together and defeat it!"

Although the team members were afraid, they still gathered their courage under Lin Chen's encouragement and prepared to fight the huge monster. Wang Qiang roared loudly and rushed towards the monster with his axe. Every time he attacked, the monster howled in pain.

"Watch your back!" Li Na shouted. She leaped up and slashed a sneak attacking dark creature in half with one sword. Then, she landed steadily on the ground and continued to watch the monster's movements.

"This feels great!" another team member named Zhang Tao said excitedly, "Captain, I've never felt so excited!"

Lin Chen smiled slightly: "This is the spirit we should have! Keep moving forward!"
