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

"That's right, and the Dark Lord is becoming more and more powerful. We don't have much time left." Zhang Tao added, with a hint of nervousness in his voice.

Just as everyone was discussing, a deep voice suddenly came from the depths of the darkness: "Do you think you can defeat me like this?"

Everyone's gaze instantly focused in that direction, only to see the Dark Lord's figure regroup. His voice was filled with sarcasm: "Although the Heart of Light is powerful, it cannot completely destroy me. I am the embodiment of darkness, and I will never truly disappear."

"Everyone be careful and prepare for battle!" Lin Chen shouted loudly, his voice firm and powerful.

The Dark King waved his hands, and a powerful dark force surged towards everyone again. Lin Chen gripped his sword tightly and led his teammates to withstand this fierce attack. Wang Qiang wielded his great axe, desperately blocking the Dark King's attacks, while Li Na and Zhang Tao continuously fired arrows and sword energy, trying to weaken his defenses.

"These guys are just too strong. We can't help them at all," a villager said with a wry smile, a hint of helplessness flashing in his eyes. Several villagers nearby echoed, "Yeah, we can only watch from the sidelines, feeling so weak."

"Captain, what should we do?" Li Na asked loudly, her eyes flashing with anxiety and expectation.

Lin Chen thought quickly and turned to look at the old man: "Old man, is there any way for us to temporarily delay time so that the Dark Lord cannot recover his full strength?"

The old man nodded and then chanted an ancient spell. Suddenly, a bright light curtain emanated from his hand and surrounded the Dark Lord. The Dark Lord's movements slowed noticeably, but his power continued to grow.

"This is only a temporary suppression. We must find a solution as soon as possible." The old man's voice was a little anxious.

"Understood, let's go find some clues." Lin Chen nodded, then turned to the others and said, "Li Na, you'll be responsible for protecting the old man; Zhang Tao, you'll come with me to find a way to seal it; Wang Qiang, you'll be responsible for protecting the villagers."

"Understood!" Li Na, Zhang Tao and Wang Qiang responded in unison and prepared to take action.

"Wait a minute, we can't just sit there and wait." A young villager stood up, his eyes burning with fighting spirit, "We can do something to help the captain and the others."

"That's right, we can't just hide behind!" another villager echoed, his voice firm.

"Very good, then let's act together." Lin Chen nodded approvingly, with more confidence in his heart.

At this moment, the Dark Lord roared again, his figure becoming even larger and more terrifying. Cracks began to appear in the surrounding maze structure, and the situation became increasingly critical.

"The Dark Lord's power is growing stronger, we must speed up," Zhang Tao reminded.

"No problem, I believe we can find the answer." Lin Chen answered firmly. He gripped the sword tightly in his hand, with a determined look in his eyes.

"No matter what, we will not give up." Li Na followed closely behind, her eyes equally determined.

"Yes, no matter what happens, we will stick to it!" Wang Qiang responded loudly, waving his giant axe, ready to meet new challenges.

As their voices echo in the air, a new adventure is about to begin...

"Lord of Darkness, just wait, we will definitely fight you again!" Lin Chen shouted loudly, leading his teammates towards the unknown future.

"Captain, we won't let you down!" Li Na responded firmly and followed closely.

"Lord of Darkness, look at how powerful I am!" Zhang Tao was not to be outdone. He pulled the bowstring to its full extent, ready to respond to new threats at any time.

"Come on, everyone!" Wang Qiang encouraged loudly, waving his giant axe and protecting the team.

Thus, Lin Chen and his companions embarked on a new journey. Facing the challenges and unknown dangers ahead, how would they respond? Everything remained uncertain... As Lin Chen and his companions embarked on their new journey, the atmosphere within the maze grew more solemn. The air was thick with the power of the Dark Lord, ready to erupt at any moment. The villagers gathered around the old man, nervously awaiting his next instructions.

"Captain, can they really win?" a young villager asked in a low voice, with uneasiness in his voice.

"We will definitely win!" another middle-aged villager said firmly, "Captain Lin Chen has never let us down."

"I hope so." The old man sighed and looked in the direction where Lin Chen left. "The Dark Lord is becoming more and more powerful. We must find a way to seal him as soon as possible."

Meanwhile, Lin Chen, Zhang Tao, and Li Na were swiftly traversing the maze, searching for any possible clues. They passed through dimly lit rooms, each step fraught with danger.

"Something seems different here." Zhang Tao suddenly stopped and pointed to a wall in front of him.

Lin Chen stepped forward and carefully examined the wall, noting some strange symbols carved into it. "These symbols look like some kind of ancient writing, but I don't recognize them," he said, frowning.

"I think this looks a lot like the text in a book I saw in the library," Li Na said excitedly. She pulled a worn book from her backpack and started flipping through it. "Oh, yes, there are these symbols on it!"

"Are you sure?" Lin Chen asked, with a glimmer of hope in his eyes.

"I'm absolutely certain. This is an ancient book that records the history of the Heart of Light and the King of Darkness," Li Na explained. "These symbols may be the key to solving the mystery."

"Great, let's follow the instructions in this book to find clues," Zhang Tao said excitedly. "We need to speed up, because time is running out."

At this moment, the Dark Lord's voice echoed once again in the maze: "Do you think you can defeat me with just these ancient books? You are so naive."

"Everyone be careful, he may appear at any time!" Lin Chen warned loudly, gripping the sword tightly in his hand and looking around vigilantly.

Sure enough, the figure of the Dark Lord gathered not far away and uttered a deep laugh: "The Heart of Light is indeed powerful, but it is not enough. You will eventually be swallowed by darkness."

Lin Chen took a deep breath and led his teammates to fight the Dark King. Wang Qiang swung his giant axe to block the Dark King's attack, while Li Na and Zhang Tao continued to launch long-range attacks, trying to consume his strength.

"These guys are so strong. We can only watch from the sidelines." A villager said helplessly, his eyes full of admiration. "If only I could help."

"Yes, I also want to do something for them." The young villager next to him echoed, with fighting spirit flashing in his eyes.

Suddenly, the village chief stood up and shouted, "Listen to me, everyone. We can't just stand by and watch! We must do what we can to help them."

"The village chief is right. We can't just stand by and watch." Another villager responded enthusiastically, "We can search for more clues and provide them to them."

"That's right, we have to take action too." The villagers responded and started to get busy.
