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

The blood-red light enveloped Chu Mengmeng and Xiao Yichen, but the expected severe pain did not come. Chu Mengmeng opened her eyes in surprise, and saw an old but tall figure blocking them, like an indestructible barrier, blocking the terrifying eyeball and light.

"Senior!" After seeing who was coming, Chu Mengmeng shouted in surprise. It was the mysterious old man who had guided them in the illusion before!

The old man nodded slightly, without saying much, and waved his sleeves, and a powerful force pushed the giant eye back. The giant eye let out an unwilling roar, and finally retreated into the giant scorpion powerlessly, and the giant scorpion's body quickly decayed, turning into a pile of bones in the blink of an eye.

"Thank you for saving my life, senior!" Xiao Yichen endured the discomfort in his body and struggled to stand up and saluted the old man.

The old man accepted their greetings and then slowly said, "No need to be polite. I came here this time to tell you about the antidote."

"Antidote?" Chu Mengmeng asked hurriedly after hearing this, "Senior, do you know where the antidote is?"

The old man nodded and looked deeply into the depths of the ruins: "The antidote is in the deepest part of the ruins. It is the place where the ancient powerful passed down their legacy, but it is also full of various tests. If you are not careful, you will be doomed. Are you willing to follow me?"

Chu Mengmeng and Xiao Yichen looked at each other and saw determination in each other's eyes. In order to survive, for each other, they were willing to do their best.

"We do!"

The old man nodded slightly, turned around and led them to the depths of the ruins. Along the way, there were dangers everywhere, various traps appeared one after another, and countless ferocious unknown creatures lurked in the dark, waiting for an opportunity to strike.

Faced with these dangers, Chu Mengmeng and Xiao Yichen did not dare to slack off at all. They supported each other and relied on their extraordinary wisdom and courage to overcome danger time and time again.

"Be careful!" Chu Mengmeng noticed something strange on the stone slab under her feet and grabbed Xiao Yichen who almost stepped on air.

"What's wrong?" Xiao Yichen was still in shock. He looked down and saw a bottomless abyss under the stone slab.

"This stone slab is hollow." Chu Mengmeng pointed at the tiny cracks on the stone slab and explained, "Look, the direction of this crack is very unnatural. It must be a man-made mechanism."

Xiao Yichen suddenly realized and looked at Chu Mengmeng gratefully: "Fortunately you found it in time."

The old man witnessed all this, and a touch of admiration flashed in his eyes. Although this girl looked confused, she was thoughtful and quick-witted, and she was a promising talent.

As they went deeper and deeper, the tests became more and more difficult. Once, they encountered a foggy forest full of illusions and traps. If they were not careful, they would lose their way or even die.

Relying on her knowledge of plants, Chu Mengmeng identified some poisonous plants and used them to make some simple medicinal powders to dispel fog.

"Mengmeng, how do you know all this?" Xiao Yichen looked at her in surprise. He knew that Chu Mengmeng liked to study all kinds of food, but he didn't expect that she even knew these unpopular plant knowledge.

"Hehe, I've read an ancient book before, which recorded some knowledge about plants. I didn't expect it to come in handy today." Chu Mengmeng smiled embarrassedly, but secretly thanked herself for her curiosity at the time.

The old man looked at Chu Mengmeng with even more admiration in his eyes. This girl is not only smart, but also knows how to apply what she has learned, which is really rare.

Led by the mysterious old man, they came to an empty underground square. In the center of the square stood a huge stone pillar, which was carved with complex and delicate patterns, exuding an ancient and mysterious atmosphere.

"This is the final test." The old man pointed at the stone pillar and said, "Only by injecting your inner strength into the stone pillar can you open the passage to where the antidote is."

Xiao Yichen took a deep breath, took a step forward, and placed his palm on the stone pillar. A strong suction force came, and the internal force in his body surged uncontrollably towards the stone pillar.

"Ah!" Xiao Yichen groaned, his face instantly turning pale. The pattern on the stone pillar seemed to come alive, emitting a dazzling light that enveloped him.

"Yi Chen!" Chu Mengmeng wanted to step forward anxiously, but was stopped by the old man.

"Don't disturb him." The old man looked solemn, "This is a test he must go through."

Under the cover of light, Xiao Yichen felt as if his body was torn apart, and the severe pain almost made him faint. But he gritted his teeth and persisted, mobilizing every bit of strength in his body to resist the swallowing of the stone pillar.

As time passed, Xiao Yichen's aura became stronger and stronger, and his originally chaotic internal strength gradually became stable and orderly, as if it had been tempered a thousand times, becoming more refined and powerful.

Finally, the light on the stone pillar gradually dissipated, and Xiao Yichen collapsed to the ground powerlessly, gasping for breath.

"Congratulations, you passed the test." The old man stepped forward and handed him a pill. "Take it, it can remove the toxins in your body."

Xiao Yichen took the pill and swallowed it without hesitation. The pill melted in his mouth, and a warm current quickly flowed through his body, the originally paralyzed meridians regained consciousness, and the remaining toxins in the body also dissipated.

He stood up, feeling more relaxed and comfortable than ever before, and the internal strength in his body was stronger than ever before. He looked at the old man gratefully, and was about to open his mouth to thank him, but he saw the old man's face suddenly changed, and he turned his head abruptly to look behind him.

"No, someone is coming!"
