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

The silence in the square was mercilessly torn apart by a sharp roar. Everyone's heart trembled, and their eyes were all cast into the distance. Under the night, a group of black shadows approached at an alarming speed. Their twisted bodies, hideous faces, and disgusting stench all revealed their origins - monsters from the void!

"Here they come!" Xiao Yichen growled, and the long sword in his hand made a crisp sound, as if responding to the master's fighting spirit. He turned to look at the solemn villagers behind him and said in a deep voice, "Prepare for battle!"

As soon as the words fell, the originally still scene in the square was instantly broken. The villagers took their positions in a well-trained manner, the weapons in their hands flashing coldly, and a determination to face death spread among the crowd.

Chu Mengmeng stood on the platform. Although she was worried, her eyes were very firm. She knew that this battle was inevitable, and all she could do was to do her best to protect everything behind her.

She raised her hand lightly, and a golden light that was imperceptible to the naked eye quickly spread out, covering the entire square. This was the use of her golden finger, which not only enhanced the strength and speed of all her own people, but also weakened the enemy's combat effectiveness.

"Kill!" With Xiao Yichen's order, the battle was about to break out.

The villagers used the traps and fortifications they had set up in advance to fight the monster to the death. Arrows rained down on the monster, swords clashed with harsh sounds, screams and roars intertwined, and the entire square turned into a bloody battlefield.

Xiao Yichen led the way, the long sword in his hand seemed to turn into a silver dragon, and every swing could take the lives of several monsters. He calmly observed the battlefield situation, issued orders at the right time, and directed the villagers to resist the monsters' attacks in an orderly manner.

The battle was extremely fierce, and the number of monsters far exceeded the villagers' expectations. Although the villagers' fighting power was greatly increased with the blessing of Chu Mengmeng's golden finger, the long battle still made them gradually feel exhausted.

At this moment, a sudden change occurred!

A path suddenly opened up among the monsters that were being pushed back by the villagers, and a monster with a larger body and a more terrifying aura slowly walked out. It exuded a suffocating pressure, and its scarlet eyes flashed with cruelty and bloodthirstiness.

"Roar--"

The deafening roar resounded through the sky, as if foreshadowing a greater disaster was about to happen...

The deafening roar, like the roar of an ancient beast, made people's chests feel stuffy. The huge monster seemed to shake the ground with every step it took. Its scarlet eyes flashed with a frightening ferocious light, as if it wanted to devour everything in front of it.

"Protect yourself!" Xiao Yichen shouted, and rushed out like an arrow. The long sword in his hand drew sharp sword lights in the night, and went straight to the monster.

The villagers' hearts were in their throats. They had never seen such a terrifying monster. However, Xiao Yichen's figure gave them great courage. He was agile and his sword moves were sharp. Every move he made was extremely accurate. He could always avoid the monster's attack at the critical moment and inflict heavy damage on it.

"Everyone, don't panic! Fight the enemy according to the formation you trained before!" Xiao Yichen loudly commanded the villagers while dealing with the monster. His voice seemed particularly steady and powerful in the chaotic battlefield, like a shot of adrenaline injected into the hearts of the villagers.

The villagers took a deep breath, suppressed their fear, and formed a defensive formation according to Xiao Yichen's instructions, cooperating with each other to resist the monster's attack. Chu Mengmeng's golden finger also played a huge role. The villagers felt full of strength and their movements became more agile. The attacks that were originally difficult to resist could now be easily resolved.

The battle lasted all night, with the monsters attacking one after another, but they were unable to break through the villagers' defenses. Finally, as the sky turned pale, the monster seemed to have received some instructions, roared unwillingly, turned around and disappeared into the darkness.

"Did we win?" A villager looked in the direction where the monster disappeared, his tone full of disbelief.

"We won!" Xiao Yichen retracted his sword and a tired smile appeared on his face.

Deafening cheers erupted in the square, and the villagers hugged each other excitedly, celebrating this hard-won victory. Chu Mengmeng stood on the high platform, watching this scene, her heart filled with joy.

However, she and Xiao Yichen both understood that this was just the beginning. A bigger crisis was waiting for them...

 Chapter 161: A Successful Start

The morning sun shone through the clouds, casting a golden glow over the devastated town. In the square, the cheers gradually died down, and the villagers still had the joy of surviving the disaster on their faces, but more importantly, they showed determination and hope for the future.

Chu Mengmeng walked down from the high platform and frowned slightly at the devastated battlefield. The air was filled with a strong smell of blood, and traces of battle could be seen everywhere. Broken weapons and collapsed houses were silently telling of the tragedy of last night.

"Mengmeng, are you okay?" Xiao Yichen walked to her and asked with concern.

"I'm fine, but..." Chu Mengmeng shook her head and pointed to the villagers who were treating the wounded not far away, "We still have a lot to do."

Xiao Yichen followed her gaze and nodded heavily.

"I have arranged personnel to clean up the battlefield, treat the wounded, and strengthen the fortifications."

Chu Mengmeng looked around. Although the town's fortifications were simple, they played an important role in the battle last night. She pondered for a moment and said, "Yi Chen, those monsters seem to be afraid of sunlight and are very sensitive to sound. We may be able to use this to our advantage."

"What you mean is..." A gleam of light flashed in Xiao Yichen's eyes.

"We can make some weapons that can make harsh sounds, and at the same time set up some reflectors on the city walls and use sunlight to drive them away." Chu Mengmeng expressed her idea.

"Good idea!" Xiao Yichen's eyes lit up. Chu Mengmeng's idea provided him with a new idea. "I'll arrange someone to do it right away."

In the next few days, the whole town was mobilized. Led by Chu Mengmeng and Xiao Yichen, the villagers cut down trees, forged weapons, reinforced the city walls, and built fortifications. The town was filled with a tense and busy atmosphere, and everyone was preparing for the upcoming battle.

"Mengmeng, come here." Xiao Yichen stood on the city wall and waved to Chu Mengmeng.

Chu Mengmeng walked over and followed his gaze, only to see a faint black shadow swaying in the distant mountains and forests.

"Are those monsters coming again?" Chu Mengmeng's heart tightened.

"I can't be sure yet." Xiao Yichen shook his head, "But I have a bad feeling that this attack may be more violent than the last time."

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard a deafening roar from afar, like thunder, echoing in the valley.

"Get ready for battle!" Xiao Yichen's face darkened and he shouted sternly.

The villagers picked up their weapons and looked into the distance nervously, their eyes full of determination.

The black shadows were getting closer and closer, and finally their true faces were revealed. They turned out to be monsters that were more numerous and larger in size than last time!

A more brutal battle is about to begin...

The monster army was defeated and retreated wailing into the thick night, disappearing quickly into the depths of the mountains and forests like a tide.

"We won! We won!" The joy of surviving the disaster exploded among the crowd, cheers resounded through the sky, and everyone's face was filled with the joy of victory and anticipation for the future.

Chu Mengmeng and Xiao Yichen stood side by side on the city wall, looking at the forest gradually returning to tranquility, but they did not completely relax in their hearts.

"Did those monsters really retreat like that?" Chu Mengmeng frowned slightly, feeling that something was wrong.

Xiao Yichen gently held her hand and comforted her in a warm voice: "Don't worry, Mengmeng. Although they are ferocious, they are obviously afraid of the sun and the noise weapons we make. As long as we hold our ground and don't go out, they can't do anything to us."

Having said that, Xiao Yichen also felt a little uneasy. When those monsters retreated, the last behemoth that appeared was obviously more intelligent. Its scarlet eyes were clearly flashing with cunning and hatred.

As expected, not long after the monsters retreated, a sinister and hoarse voice echoed over the town: "How dare you, lowly human, hurt my people! I will settle this account with you sooner or later! Next time, I will flatten this town and make all of you pay the price for what you did today!"

This threatening voice, like a death knell from hell, made everyone's heart shudder, and the originally relaxed atmosphere instantly became solemn.

"They will come again." Xiao Yichen said in a deep voice, his tone full of determination, "But we will not sit and wait for death. We will definitely be fully prepared to meet their challenge!"

Chu Mengmeng nodded vigorously, with a determined light flashing in her eyes.

In the following days, the town once again entered a tense state of preparation for war. Under the leadership of Chu Mengmeng and Xiao Yichen, the villagers worked day and night to strengthen the city walls, manufacture weapons, and store food and grass in preparation for the upcoming decisive battle.

However, at this time, Chu Mengmeng's body began to feel strange. She began to feel nauseous and tired frequently, her appetite became very poor, and her originally fair face became more haggard.

"Mengmeng, what's wrong with you? Are you feeling unwell?" Xiao Yichen noticed her abnormality and asked with concern.

Chu Mengmeng suppressed her discomfort, shook her head, and forced a smile: "I'm fine, maybe I'm too tired recently, I just need to rest for a while."

Although Chu Mengmeng said this, Xiao Yichen was still full of worries. He knew that this war with monsters had just begun. And Chu Mengmeng's physical condition undoubtedly added a little unknown variable to the outcome of this war...
