Me? I was transported into a book? And I became a vicious villain?

Xiao Yichen used all his strength to strike, as if he was chopping at a mass of sticky dark matter. The sword tip was deeply embedded in it, but it could not completely cut it off. The dark figure only paused for a moment, then let out a deafening roar, knocking Xiao Yichen and his sword back several steps.

"puff--"

Xiao Yichen spat out a mouthful of blood, and his face instantly turned as pale as paper. The sword in his hand dimmed, and it was obvious that he was no longer able to fight.

"Xiao Yichen, how are you?!" Chu Mengmeng shouted anxiously. She wanted to go forward to check his injuries, but she was oppressed by the suffocating dark aura and could not move.

The huge dark figure slowly approached, it seemed to be playing with the prey in front of it, and was not in a hurry to launch a fatal attack. Every breath it took seemed to be draining the vitality of the surroundings, making Chu Mengmeng feel weak and desperate.

Is today the day they die?

Chu Mengmeng closed her eyes in despair, tears silently sliding down her cheeks. However, just when she was about to give up resistance, a strong desire to survive suddenly surged in her heart. She still had a child, she couldn't just die like this!

She opened her eyes suddenly and stared at the darkness that was approaching. Fear still existed, but she was more determined to fight to the death.

Suddenly, Chu Mengmeng's eyes froze. In the rolling darkness, she vaguely saw a faint light, like a star hidden behind a dark cloud, looming.

"What is that?" Chu Mengmeng murmured to herself. She suppressed her fear and tried to open her eyes wide, wanting to see the true face of the light.

As the dark figure got closer, the light became clearer and clearer. It was a strange rune, emitting a faint golden light, which was out of tune with the surrounding darkness. It seemed to be the only hope in this darkness, attracting Chu Mengmeng's attention.

"Xiao Yichen..." Chu Mengmeng's voice trembled slightly. She pointed at the golden rune in the darkness, with hope in her eyes, "Look..."

Xiao Yichen looked in the direction of Chu Mengmeng's finger. At first, he also saw only endless darkness. But when he looked carefully, a faint golden light was indeed flickering in the depths of the darkness, like a firefly in the dark night, although weak, it was full of hope.

"That is..." Xiao Yichen's heart skipped a beat, and an inexplicable feeling surged into his heart. He clenched the sword in his hand, and a trace of determination flashed in his eyes, "Mengmeng, we may still have a chance of survival!"

Chu Mengmeng understood what he meant. They had to take a gamble, betting that the faint light was the nemesis of this darkness.

"Okay!" Chu Mengmeng took a deep breath and suppressed all her fears in her heart. She took out a jade talisman that emitted a faint white light from her space ring. This was the last life-saving talisman her mother left her, which could increase her spiritual power in a short period of time.

"Are you ready?" Xiao Yichen clenched the sword in his hand, and the sword made a buzzing sound, as if it was also excited for the upcoming battle.

"Ready!" Chu Mengmeng crushed the jade talisman, and a powerful spiritual power instantly surged into her body, and her eyes became bright.

The two looked at each other, their eyes full of determination and trust. They simultaneously mobilized the spiritual power in their bodies, concentrated all their strength on the weapons in their hands, and then attacked the golden rune in the darkness.

Xiao Yichen's sword energy was like a rainbow, with an unstoppable determination. Chu Mengmeng's spiritual power turned into a dazzling white light, like a flash of lightning, striking straight into the center of the darkness.

"boom--"

With a loud bang, the entire space began to tremble violently. Their attack tore a huge crack in the darkness, and golden light gushed out from the crack, illuminating the entire dark world.

The dark figure roared angrily, as if it felt threatened, and began to fight back frantically. Countless black tentacles stretched out from the darkness, like poisonous snakes, attacking Xiao Yichen and Chu Mengmeng.

Xiao Yichen waved the sword in his hand and cut off the tentacles one by one, while Chu Mengmeng used her spiritual power to protect the two of them and resist the erosion of darkness.

The battle became extremely fierce, and the entire space was shrouded in the power of darkness and light. Xiao Yichen and Chu Mengmeng stood back to back, working closely together, and the tacit understanding between them was further enhanced during the battle.

Suddenly, Xiao Yichen felt Chu Mengmeng's body tremble slightly. He turned his head suddenly and found...

Xiao Yichen felt Chu Mengmeng's body tremble slightly. He turned his head suddenly and found that Chu Mengmeng's face turned pale and a trace of blood flowed from the corner of her mouth. Obviously, the long battle and the consumption of spiritual power had made her almost unable to hold on.

"Mengmeng, how are you?" Xiao Yichen asked anxiously, but the sword in his hand did not stop at all, and he was still struggling to resist the attack of the dark tentacles.

"I'm fine," Chu Mengmeng shook her head, trying to suppress her weakness. "We must hold on and not give up!"

Xiao Yichen knew that she was telling the truth. Giving up now would mean that all previous efforts would be wasted, and they would never have a chance to escape from the darkness. He gritted his teeth and poured all the remaining spiritual power in his body into the sword. The light on the sword suddenly became brighter, pushing back the surrounding darkness.

However, the power of the dark figure was too strong, and even if they tried their best, they still couldn't completely destroy it. Just when they were about to give up, the golden rune suddenly burst out with a brighter light, like a small sun, illuminating the entire space.

The dark figure let out a shrill scream, as if it was extremely terrified by the golden light. Its body began to twist violently, and its black tentacles retracted into the darkness.

"Now!" Xiao Yichen seized the opportunity, shouted loudly, and the sword in his hand turned into a stream of light and stabbed towards the center of the dark figure.

There was another loud bang, and the dark figure was hit by Xiao Yichen's sword energy. He let out a painful howl, and his whole body was shaken back several steps.

Chu Mengmeng and Xiao Yichen both breathed a sigh of relief. They knew that this was their only chance.

"Let's go!" Xiao Yichen took Chu Mengmeng's hand and ran towards the crack torn by the golden light.

However, just as they were about to rush out of the crack, a cold voice suddenly came from the darkness:

"Want to leave? It's not that easy!"

A huge tentacle stretched out from the darkness and rolled towards them. Xiao Yichen reacted quickly and pushed Chu Mengmeng away, but he was caught by the tentacle, thrown high into the air, and fell heavily into the ruins in the distance.

“Yi Chen!” Chu Mengmeng screamed, and desperately wanted to rush over, but Xiao Yichen shouted to stop her: “Don’t come over! Go!”

Chu Mengmeng burst into tears, but she knew that now was not the time to let her emotions get the better of her. She looked at Xiao Yichen deeply, turned around and ran towards the direction of the golden crack. She swore that she must go back alive and find a way to save him!

The golden crack became smaller and smaller, and just when it was about to close, Chu Mengmeng leaped up and rushed out of the darkness.

The dazzling light made her close her eyes involuntarily. When she opened her eyes again, she found herself in a dense forest. The warm sunlight shone through the gaps between the leaves, and the crisp sound of birds came to her ears. Everything seemed so peaceful and tranquil.

"Where am I?" Chu Mengmeng stood up with the help of a tree, feeling sore all over and her spiritual power almost exhausted. She looked around and found that this was an unfamiliar forest and she couldn't find the way back.

"Yichen..." Chu Mengmeng's heart was filled with worry. She didn't know how Xiao Yichen was doing now, and whether he had escaped safely. She endured the double fatigue of body and mind, and stumbled towards the depths of the forest.

She had to find a safe place to rest, recover her strength, and then find a way to go back and save Xiao Yichen.

After walking for an unknown amount of time, Chu Mengmeng came to a clear stream. She bent down, scooped up the cool stream water, drank a few sips greedily, and felt much better.

At this moment, she suddenly heard a slight sound not far away. She immediately became alert, tightly grasped the dagger in her hand, and walked carefully towards the direction of the sound.

"Who's there?" Chu Mengmeng asked in a low voice.

"It's me." A familiar voice came from the woods.

Chu Mengmeng was delighted and quickly pushed aside the branches and walked over.

"Yi Chen!" she exclaimed in surprise.

The person standing in front of her was Xiao Yichen. He looked a little disheveled, with his clothes covered in dust and blood, but fortunately he was not seriously injured.

"You're okay, that's great!" Chu Mengmeng excitedly threw herself into his arms.

Xiao Yichen hugged her tightly, his heart filled with gratitude for surviving the disaster.

"We have to leave here," Xiao Yichen stroked her hair gently and said softly, "It's not safe here."

Chu Mengmeng nodded, and the two of them supported each other and walked towards the depths of the forest. They didn't know what was waiting for them ahead, but they knew that as long as they were together, they would be able to overcome all difficulties.
