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

After the mysterious man disappeared, the conference room fell into silence. Chu Mengmeng's eyes were still on the parchment scroll. Those strange symbols and patterns seemed to dance in front of her eyes, as if telling an ancient and mysterious story.

"Where will this treasure map lead us?" Chu Mengmeng murmured to herself, her tone full of curiosity and a hint of uneasiness.

Xiao Yichen gently held her hand, and the warm touch made Chu Mengmeng feel more at ease. "Whether there are thorns or a smooth road ahead, we will face it together." He said firmly, his eyes full of confidence in the future.

According to the clues provided by the mysterious guardian, the city guardian team began their journey to find the bright gemstone. They crossed the dense jungle, climbed over steep mountains, and went deep into ancient ruins, overcoming difficulties that ordinary people could hardly imagine.

During one of their expeditions, they accidentally discovered a cave hidden behind a waterfall. Deep in the cave, it was dark and damp, and all kinds of strange-shaped rocks cast strange shadows under the weak firelight.

"Be careful, there seems to be something here." Su Mubai warned in a low voice, his palms holding the weapon sweating slightly.

Lin Wan'er nodded and looked around vigilantly. Suddenly, a rustling sound came from the darkness, accompanied by a smell of corruption.

"Who's there?" Xiao Yichen shouted sternly, the sword in his hand flashing with a cold light.

In the darkness, pairs of scarlet eyes lit up, and accompanied by low roars, a group of hideous monsters emerged from the depths of the cave. They were huge, with sharp claws, and exuded a disgusting smell.

"It's a strange beast!" Chu Mengmeng exclaimed, and the staff in her hand suddenly shone brightly. Bolts of thunder and lightning roared out like a mad dragon, blasting away the strange beasts in the front.

A fierce battle broke out instantly. Xiao Yichen's sword danced like a spirit snake, taking the life of a beast with every swing. Lin Wan'er was lithe, and the dagger in her hand turned into cold light, harvesting lives among the beasts.

Chu Mengmeng's lightning power was extremely overbearing, blasting the beasts into charcoal one by one. However, there were too many beasts, and they were fearless and rushed forward one after another, and the city guardian team gradually felt a little tired.

At this moment, Xiao Yichen noticed that behind the herd of strange beasts, there seemed to be a huge black shadow moving slowly. He was startled and an ominous premonition came to his mind.

"Be careful, there are more powerful characters behind!" he warned loudly.

As soon as the words fell, the huge black shadow let out a deafening roar and rushed out from the group of strange beasts...

The huge black shadow was actually a giant monster as big as a small truck. It was covered with thick scales and exuded a suffocating aura. Its pair of huge scarlet eyes stared at the people in front of it, as if it was looking at a group of lambs to be slaughtered.

“Roar——” The giant beast let out a deafening roar, and the strong air wave blew the surrounding gravel into the sky. Even the power of thunder and lightning released by Chu Mengmeng was distorted and deformed by this air wave.

"What...what kind of monster is this?!" Lin Wan'er's face was pale, and the hand holding the dagger trembled slightly. She had never seen such a terrifying creature.

"Don't panic, keep the formation!" Xiao Yichen shouted in a deep voice, and the long sword in his hand burst out with dazzling light. A sharp sword energy rushed straight into the sky, as if to split the world in half.

"The wrath of Thundergod!" Chu Mengmeng shouted tenderly, and as she waved her staff, bolts of lightning as thick as buckets fell from the sky and struck the giant beast hard.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!" Violent explosions resounded throughout the cave. The giant beast was torn apart by the power of thunder and lightning, and let out bursts of painful wails.

However, the giant beast's vitality was extremely tenacious. Even under such a fierce attack, it did not fall down. Instead, it was aroused and attacked the people in front of it even more frantically.

Just as everyone was fighting fiercely with the giant beast, Su Mubai and Lin Wan'er accidentally discovered a hidden stone door deep in the cave.

"Wan'er, look!" Su Mubai pointed at the stone gate, his eyes full of surprise.

Lin Wan'er walked forward and carefully observed the stone gate, and found some strange symbols and patterns carved on it. These symbols and patterns seemed familiar to her, but she could not remember where she had seen them.

"These symbols... seem to have been seen somewhere..." Lin Wan'er frowned, thinking hard.

"Never mind, let's open it and take a look first!" Su Mubai said, and pushed the stone door open with force.

The stone door slowly opened, and a cold breath blew in. The two of them suddenly felt a chill in their hearts.

"Be careful!" Su Mubai grabbed Lin Wan'er and walked into the stone gate cautiously.

Behind the stone door was a long and narrow passage, with glowing crystals inlaid on the walls on both sides of the passage, illuminating the passage. The two walked carefully along the passage, and after walking for about ten minutes, they suddenly saw a huge underground space in front of them.

This underground space is as big as a football field. The walls are covered with various instruments and equipment. In the middle is a huge glass container filled with light blue liquid. In the liquid, a gem emitting dazzling light can be vaguely seen.

"This...what is this place?" Lin Wan'er looked at everything in front of her in surprise, her heart full of doubts.

"If I'm not mistaken... this should be a laboratory..." Su Mubai looked around and said in a deep voice, "Moreover, this is most likely the place where the Light Gem is studied!"

Just as the two were shocked, a sinister laugh suddenly sounded in the laboratory.

"Hehehe...I didn't expect that someone could find this place..."

Su Mubai and Lin Wan'er were startled and turned around suddenly, only to see a man in a black robe with a sinister face standing behind them. In the man's hand, there was a dagger flashing with cold light!

"You are... Xiao Yifeng?!" Lin Wan'er exclaimed, recognizing the man's identity.

"Yes, it's me!" Xiao Yifeng sneered, "You two are ruining my plans, so don't even think about leaving here alive today!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Xiao Yifeng waved a dagger and pounced towards the two of them!

At the same time, Xiao Yichen and others who were fighting fiercely with the giant beast also noticed the abnormality in the laboratory and rushed to support.

A more intense battle is about to break out! The battle is getting more intense, with swords and shadows intertwined with thunder and lightning, echoing in the empty underground space. The duel between the two brothers Xiao Yichen and Xiao Yifeng is particularly eye-catching, with sword energy running wild, hatred and anger spreading between the two.

In the end, with the tacit cooperation of the city guardian team, the battle ended with Xiao Yifeng's defeat. Su Mubai sealed Xiao Yifeng, sighed, and his eyes were full of complicated emotions.

After the battle, everyone did not have time to rest and immediately began to search the laboratory. The symbols and words on the various instruments and equipment were like heavenly books to Chu Mengmeng and others. Fortunately, Lin Wan'er was quite knowledgeable about ancient characters. With her help, they finally found the key information about the light gem in a pile of research materials.

"Found it!" Lin Wan'er pointed at a line of text on the document, her tone unable to conceal her excitement, "The Light Gem is hidden in a place called 'Land of Eternal Night'!"

"The Land of Eternal Night?" Chu Mengmeng repeated the name, feeling uneasy. "What is that place?"

"According to records, the Land of Eternal Night is a space independent of the real world. There is no sunlight all year round and it is full of dangers and unknowns." Lin Wan'er explained, "Moreover, the entrance to the Land of Eternal Night is very hidden and only appears at specific times and places."

"It seems that it is not easy to find the Light Gem." Xiao Yichen said in a deep voice, "We may face unprecedented challenges."

"No matter what, we must find the Light Stone!" Su Mubai said firmly, "This is our last hope to protect the world!"

The others nodded solemnly, with a determined light in their eyes. Facing unknown dangers, they did not retreat at all, because they all had a common belief in their hearts, which was to protect the peace and light of the world.

"According to the records, the entrance to the Land of Eternal Night will appear deep in the Misty Forest at midnight tomorrow." Lin Wan'er flipped through the information and continued, "We must be prepared in advance, otherwise if we miss the opportunity, we don't know when we will have to wait."

"Okay, let's set off for the Misty Forest now!" Xiao Yichen made a prompt decision and gave the order.

Everyone packed up their equipment, left the laboratory, and headed towards the misty forest. They didn't know what was waiting for them, but their hearts were full of hope and courage, because they believed that light would eventually defeat darkness.

As night fell and the city lights came on, Chu Mengmeng and Xiao Yichen stood side by side on the clock tower at the highest point in the city, overlooking the brightly lit city night scene. In the distance, in the direction of the misty forest, it was dark, as if an invisible giant beast was lurking.

"Mengmeng, are you scared?" Xiao Yichen held Chu Mengmeng's hand tightly and asked softly.

"No, as long as I'm with you, I'm not afraid of anything." Chu Mengmeng turned her head and looked at Xiao Yichen, her eyes full of determination, "We will definitely find the light gem and protect our home."

Under the moonlight, the two figures were stretched out to be particularly slender. They held hands and made a vow to protect world peace and light. This vow was their belief and their mission, and they would defend it with their lives.

The wind from the bell tower gently blew the corners of their clothes, as if witnessing their vows. Chu Mengmeng and Xiao Yichen smiled at each other, each reflecting the other's figure in their eyes, which was the most steadfast support in their hearts.

Back at the Guardian headquarters, Su Mubai and Lin Wan'er had already gathered the other team members. They were packing their equipment and preparing to set off for the Misty Forest. Seeing Chu Mengmeng and Xiao Yichen coming back, Su Mubai stepped forward and asked with concern, "How is it? Are you sure?"

Chu Mengmeng patted her backpack and winked playfully, "Don't worry, I'm ready for the challenge! But you, don't hold me back!"

Su Mubai was amused by her, shook his head, and said lovingly: "Okay, I will definitely not hold you back."

Lin Wan'er came over and handed a map to Xiao Yichen. "This is the map of the Misty Forest that I drew based on ancient books. Although I can't guarantee that it's completely accurate, it should be able to help."

Xiao Yichen took the map, looked at it carefully, nodded and said, "Thank you for your hard work, Wan'er."

Everything was ready, and the city guardian team set out. The night enveloped the earth, and the misty forest looked even more mysterious in the night. The tall trees blocked out the sun, and the moonlight could only pass through the gaps between the leaves, sporadically falling on the ground covered with fallen leaves. Everything seemed quiet and strange.

"Everyone be careful, there are dangers everywhere in the Misty Forest, let's try not to disperse." Xiao Yichen reminded in a low voice.

Everyone nodded, tightened their weapons, and observed the surrounding environment vigilantly. As they went deeper into the forest, the fog became thicker and thicker, visibility became lower and lower, and from time to time they heard strange bird calls and low roars of wild beasts, which made people shudder.

"This fog seems a little strange..." Chu Mengmeng frowned. She felt that the fog seemed to carry a hint of coldness, which made people very uncomfortable.

"Yeah, I felt it too." Xiao Yichen held Chu Mengmeng's hand tightly and protected her behind him, "Everyone, be alert and be careful!"

At this moment, Su Mubai, who was walking in the front of the team, suddenly stopped. He pointed to a place not far ahead and said in a low voice, "Look, what is that?"

Everyone looked in the direction of Su Mubai's finger, and saw an ancient building complex faintly appearing in the depths of the fog. The architectural style was simple and mysterious, looming in the fog, as if it came from another world.

"Could that be the entrance to the land of eternal night?" Lin Wan'er murmured to herself, with a hint of excitement and a hint of uneasiness in her tone.

Just as everyone was hesitating whether to go forward to check, the surrounding fog suddenly rolled up, and a powerful force emanated from the ancient building complex, as if warning them not to get close.

"Not good! We seem to have triggered some kind of restriction!" Xiao Yichen's face changed, and he said hurriedly, "Retreat quickly!"

However, it was too late...
