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

Lin Chen looked back and saw a huge black silhouette slowly rising on the distant skyline. It exuded an ominous aura, as if it was some kind of evil existence.

"What the hell is that?" Zhang Tao exclaimed, his voice filled with fear.

"No matter what it is, we can't retreat." Lin Chen said firmly. He looked at the team members, "Prepare for battle!"

"Captain, you are right!" Li Na said loudly, with a determined light in her eyes.

"That's right, let's face it together!" Wang Qiang said angrily, waving the axe in his hand.

Zhang Tao drew his bowstring, aimed at the strange creatures, and prepared to attack. At this time, more villagers joined them. Although they only had simple weapons in their hands, their eyes were full of determination.

"No matter what happens, we will fight side by side!" an old villager shouted loudly, drawing waves of responses.

At this critical moment, the huge black silhouette suddenly let out a low roar, and the entire earth trembled. Lin Chen gripped the hilt of his sword tightly, his eyes burning with determination.

"No matter who you are, we will never surrender!" he shouted loudly, and then led his team to launch a fierce attack on those strange creatures.

The battle was about to begin. Lin Chen slashed the tentacles of several creatures with his sword, Li Na swung his sword like the wind, Wang Qiang swept his axe across the area, and Zhang Tao's precise arrows hit the target. The villagers also took up their weapons and joined the battle.

"Captain, we will definitely win!" Li Na shouted while fighting, sweat dripping down her forehead.

"Yes, we can do it!" Lin Chen responded loudly, looking at the huge black outline, his heart full of determination to challenge.

"What the hell is this thing?" Wang Qiang asked while swinging an axe, with a hint of curiosity and anger in his eyes.

"I don't know, but I will definitely find out!" Lin Chen said gritting his teeth, and he led the team members to continue moving forward.

The battle became increasingly fierce, but Lin Chen and his team did not retreat. They believed that as long as they persisted, they would surely be victorious.

"No matter what happens, we will never give up!" Zhang Tao shouted loudly, his voice full of determination.

"No matter how strong the opponent is, we will face it together!" Lin Chen turned around, gave the team members an encouraging look, and then took the lead in rushing towards the huge black silhouette.

In the darkness, rays of blue light interweave into a magnificent picture, and behind this battle, new challenges and mysteries are quietly unfolding.

"Captain, that thing is approaching us!" Li Na suddenly shouted, a trace of fear flashing in her eyes.

"I know. Are you ready?" Lin Chen asked in a deep voice, gripping the hilt of the sword tightly with both hands.

"No matter what happens, we will face it together!" The team members answered in unison, their determined eyes full of fearlessness.

In the woods beneath the night sky, the battle raged on, and the massive black silhouette drew ever closer. The future was filled with unknowns and challenges. Lin Chen gripped his sword tightly, his gaze fixed on the massive black silhouette with a burning intensity. As it drew closer, an invisible pressure settled over everyone. The surrounding villagers also felt the fear, yet their eyes remained gleaming with determination.

"Captain, what should we do?" Zhang Tao asked in a low voice. Although he was ready to fight, he still couldn't hide the uneasiness in his heart.

"We must find its weakness." Lin Chen quickly scanned the surroundings, looking for possible opportunities. "Everyone, stay alert and be ready to retreat at any time."

At this moment, a sharp voice pierced the night sky: "This is the King of Darkness, you can't defeat it!" Everyone turned around and saw an old man in a black robe slowly walking out from the depths of the woods, with a strange light flashing in his eyes.

"The Dark Lord?" the villagers exclaimed, with expressions of panic on their faces.

"Yes, it used to be the guardian of this land, but now it is controlled by evil forces." The old man said in a low voice with a hint of helplessness.

"Who are you? Why are you telling us this?" Li Na asked vigilantly, without loosening the sword in her hand.

"I am the guardian of this forest. I witnessed all of this happen with my own eyes," the old man said slowly. "But I am old and weak. I can no longer fight."

"If that's the case, why didn't you stop all this from happening earlier?" Lin Chen asked coldly, with a hint of anger in his tone.

"I don't have the ability. The power of the Dark Lord is far beyond your imagination." The old man shook his head, a trace of sadness flashed in his eyes.

"Captain, what should we do?" Wang Qiang asked, gripping the axe tightly with a determined look in his eyes.

"We must find its weakness." Lin Chen repeated. He looked at the old man, "Do you know any useful information?"

"The Dark Lord's power comes from his heart. Only by destroying it can he be completely eliminated." The old man sighed, "But that is an impossible task unless you can find the artifact 'Heart of Light'."

"Heart of Light?" Lin Chen frowned. This sounded like an ancient legend.

"Yes, it is an ancient treasure, hidden in an extremely dangerous place." The old man explained, "But I believe you have the ability to find it."

"Tell me, where is that treasure?" Lin Chen asked without hesitation.

"In the Valley of the Abyss, it is full of dangers and unknowns," the old man replied, "but you must act quickly, otherwise the Dark Lord will devour the entire world."

"No matter how dangerous it is, we will give it a try." Lin Chen said firmly. His determination gave the team members a sense of strength.

"Okay, I will guide you to the Valley of the Abyss." The old man nodded, "But you must be careful, there will be countless dangers along the way."

"We'll prepare everything." Lin Chen turned to look at his teammates, "Is everyone ready?"

"No matter what, we will follow the captain!" Li Na said loudly, her eyes full of determination.

"Yes, let's face it together!" Wang Qiang waved the axe, full of fighting spirit.

"No matter what happens, we will not back down!" Zhang Tao pulled the bowstring, ready to meet new challenges.

Seeing this scene, the villagers were involuntarily encouraged. They all expressed their willingness to follow Lin Chen and his team and contribute their own strength to defend their homes.

"Captain, we will definitely succeed!" a young villager said excitedly, with hope shining in his eyes.

"Thank you, but you stay here and protect the village." Lin Chen shook his head and refused. He couldn't let innocent villagers take risks.
