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

"It's a weakness!" Lin Chen immediately understood and shouted, "Aim at that crack!"

The team members quickly adjusted their attack, concentrating all their strength on the dark dragon's back. Waves of intense light continuously struck the crack, causing it to gradually widen.

"Try harder!" Lin Chen loudly encouraged his team members, and he also tried his best and launched the most violent attack on the crack.

"Boom!" Finally, with the joint efforts of everyone, the dark dragon's body was finally torn into two halves, turning into a cloud of black smoke and disappearing into the air.

"We won!" The villagers cheered and the entire altar was filled with a jubilant atmosphere.

However, just as everyone was celebrating their victory, a shadowy figure slowly rose from the ground and uttered a deep voice: "Do you think this is the end?"

Lin Chen and his teammates immediately became alert. They stared at the figure, unsure of what would happen next...

"Captain, can we fight again?" Li Na asked with a hint of worry in her eyes.

Lin Chen took a deep breath and answered firmly: "No matter what happens, we will face it together!"

The story's climax wasn't over yet; a new challenge awaited them. As that eerie figure slowly rose and uttered a deep voice, a chill seemed to envelope the entire altar. The villagers' cheers abruptly ceased, their eyes widening in disbelief at what they saw.

"This isn't the end..." The voice echoed again, ghostlike in the night sky, filling the air with an eerie aura. Lin Chen tightly grasped the gem in his hand, his gaze fixed on the gradually emerging figure. Behind him, the team members were on edge, preparing for the unknown challenge that lay ahead.

A brave villager couldn't help but step forward and whispered, "Captain Lin, what is this?"

Before Lin Chen could reply, Wang Qiang had already taken the lead, brandishing his axe and walking towards the shadow. "Whatever it is, since you dare to cause trouble, don't blame us for being rude!"

Before he could finish his words, a pair of blood-red eyes suddenly lit up in the darkness, as if the most terrifying being in the night had awakened. The villagers couldn't help but cry out in surprise again, and some even retreated in fear, but there were also brave young people who stood their ground, unwilling to give up.

"Get out of the way!" Li Na shouted. A dark beam shot out from those eyes, hurtling towards the crowd. She quickly drew her sword to meet the attack, and the collision with the dark beam produced a violent spark. This scene heightened the tension among the onlookers, and everyone began to discuss the situation.

"It's so terrible..." a young girl said tremblingly, tightly holding her brother's arm. "What on earth is going on?"

"Shh, don't talk." Her brother whispered. Although he was a little scared, he still tried to remain calm. "See how Captain Lin and the others deal with it."

At this time, Lin Chen had already stood at the front. He took a deep breath and adjusted the light of the gem in his hand to maximum intensity. "Ivan, continue to use this gem to illuminate the surroundings. We must find the true weakness of that thing."

"Understood!" Ivan nodded, concentrating on controlling the light source, making the area less dark and difficult to discern. With this light, Lin Chen began to carefully observe the monster that was gradually taking shape in front of him.

Suddenly, there were slight sounds of footsteps in the air, and then a thin old man squeezed through the crowd and came forward. "Young people, can you really overcome all this?" His voice was hoarse but full of expectation.

Hearing this, Lin Chen turned to look at the old man with a smile on his face, "We will do our best to protect this land."

"Well, I trust you." The old man nodded, and then added, "But please be careful, this power seems to be extraordinary."

At the same time, on the other side, Zhang Tao noticed a faint crack on the monster's back and shouted excitedly: "Look over there!"

Everyone's attention was immediately drawn to it. They saw a small but noticeable gap behind the massive figure that had regrouped.

"This is it!" Lin Chen made the decision immediately and led the team to rush there. Every step was filled with determination and resolve, and even though the dangers ahead were numerous, they did not retreat.

Just as the battle was about to reach its climax, deafening footsteps suddenly rang out from outside the peaceful village—more villagers had been alarmed and rushed to support. They held various crude weapons in their hands, their expressions excited and full of admiration.

"Come on, warriors!" someone shouted, giving everyone present infinite courage.

Just as the two sides were about to engage in the final round of battle, the blood-red eyes in the depths of the darkness lit up again, accompanied by a terrifying roar...

"No matter what, we cannot let this evil force spread!" Lin Chen shouted loudly, then raised the blue light in his hand and launched a final attack on the dark beast.

"Captain, we will definitely win!" Li Na's encouraging voice came from behind, and then the other team members followed suit, and an unprecedented duel began.

No one could predict the outcome. But the only certainty was that no one would give up until this battle was over. Just as Lin Chen raised the blue light in his hand, ready to launch the final attack, the blood-red eye in the darkness, as if enraged, roared again, even more terrifyingly. The villagers, terrified, retreated, but inspired by Lin Chen's resolute gaze and courageous actions, they refused to give up.

"What on earth is this thing?" a villager murmured in a low voice.

"Don't be afraid, Captain and the others will definitely be able to handle it!" Another young man said firmly, holding the simple wooden stick tightly in his hand.

The light from the gem in Ivan's hand grew stronger, illuminating the gap on the monster's back. Lin Chen already had a plan in mind. "Ivan, continue to increase the light source. Everyone else, get ready and wait for my signal."

"Understood!" Alvin responded quickly, focusing the light on the tiny crack, making the monster's weakness clearly visible.

"Captain, what should we do now?" Wang Qiang asked, gripping the axe tightly with fighting spirit flashing in his eyes.

"We have to distract it and then find an opportunity." Lin Chen said solemnly, "Wang Qiang, you and Li Na attack from the left, Zhang Tao and Xiao Jie from the right, and I'll take charge of the middle."

"Got it, Captain!" Everyone responded and prepared to take action.

At that moment, shouts rang out from outside the village. More villagers joined the battle, armed with crude weapons but filled with courage and conviction. "Come on, warriors!" an elderly villager shouted, his voice full of encouragement.
