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

The dazzling light gradually dissipated, the boulder turned into powder, and Chu Mengmeng's figure appeared in front of Xiao Yichen again. But this time, she was no longer panicked and helpless as before, but was wrapped in a layer of soft white light, as if a god had descended.

Xiao Yichen was so fascinated that he murmured, "Mengmeng, you..."

Chu Mengmeng slowly opened her eyes, and her lively eyes now flashed with an ancient and mysterious light. She looked down at her hands, and an unprecedented powerful force surged in her body, as if she could control everything in the world.

"This is..." Chu Mengmeng felt this power and was shocked.

At this moment, an ethereal voice echoed in the cave: "Kid, you finally found it."

Xiao Yichen and Chu Mengmeng were startled at the same time and looked around, but they didn't see anyone. "Who? Who is talking?" Xiao Yichen asked vigilantly.

“Don’t panic,” the voice sounded again, “I am the guardian of this artifact and your guide.”

"Guide?" Chu Mengmeng asked doubtfully, "Where are you going to guide me?"

"Go to where you should go and complete your mission." The voice paused and continued, "Child, you are responsible for saving the world, and this artifact is the key to your victory over evil."

"Save the world? Evil?" Chu Mengmeng was even more confused. She was just an ordinary person, how could she be related to saving the world?

"Now is not the time to explain," the voice said, "Time is running out. The leader of the new force has already sensed the power of the artifact and is on his way. You must leave here as soon as possible."

As soon as the words fell, the light in Chu Mengmeng's hand became more dazzling, and the image of an illusory woman gradually became clear. She had an overwhelming beauty, but with a hint of sadness. "Child, remember, you are hope, you are light, and you will eventually defeat all darkness."

After the mysterious woman said this, her figure gradually disappeared and the cave returned to calm, as if nothing had happened.

Chu Mengmeng and Xiao Yichen looked at each other in bewilderment. Before they could recover from their shock, a strong sense of oppression came from deep in the cave, accompanied by a creepy laugh: "Found you..."

Xiao Yichen's face changed, and he said in a deep voice: "Oh no, he's coming!"

"Let's go!" Xiao Yichen took Chu Mengmeng's hand and ran back the way they came. The sense of power brought by the artifact made Chu Mengmeng feel very at ease. She followed Xiao Yichen closely with only one thought in her mind: return to the town and protect everyone!

The two ran all the way, but the pressure from the leader of the new force was getting closer and closer, and his cold laughter seemed to echo in their ears, making them shudder. "Want to escape? Not that easy!" With a roar, the top of the cave began to shake violently, and gravel fell like rain, blocking their way.

"Damn it!" Xiao Yichen swung out a spiritual force to shatter the falling rocks, but more rubble fell from the sky, seemingly endless. Chu Mengmeng felt the waves coming from the artifact, and she knew she couldn't just sit there and wait for death. "Yichen, we can't run away anymore, we have to fight!"

Xiao Yichen looked at Chu Mengmeng's determined eyes and nodded: "Okay! Let them see our strength!" After that, he injected spiritual power into the artifact in Chu Mengmeng's hand. Suddenly, dazzling light illuminated the entire cave, and the originally cramped space seemed to be infinitely magnified in an instant.

The figure of the leader of the new force appeared in front of them. He was wearing a black robe, with a ferocious smile on his face, holding a black magic wand in his hand, exuding a suffocating evil aura. "Don't overestimate your own abilities!" He sneered, waved his magic wand, and several black lightning bolts rushed towards Chu Mengmeng and Xiao Yichen.

"Be careful!" Xiao Yichen pulled Chu Mengmeng behind him and gathered all his spiritual power to form a barrier to block the attack. The black lightning struck the barrier, making a sharp explosion, and the whole cave trembled.

Chu Mengmeng felt the fluctuation of Xiao Yichen's spiritual power and knew that he had tried his best. She no longer hesitated and raised the artifact above her head. A powerful force gushed out of her body and turned into a dazzling beam of light, rushing straight into the sky!

“What kind of power is this?!” The leader of the new force felt this powerful force and his face finally changed. He shouted in horror: “This is impossible!”

"Nothing is impossible!" Chu Mengmeng's voice rang out in the light, full of determination and strength, "Today, let's put an end to this!"

The dazzling light was like the light of dawn, piercing the long darkness in the cave. Chu Mengmeng held the artifact in her hand, bathed in the holy light, as if a god had descended. The powerful force surged like a tide, forming an indestructible barrier around her. The leader of the new force had a ferocious smile on his face, he had never seen such a powerful force, and he couldn't help but feel a little fear in his heart.

Xiao Yichen seized the opportunity and poured his spiritual power into the sword. The sword suddenly glowed brightly and turned into a stream of light that pierced the leader of the new force. The leader of the new force hurriedly raised his magic wand to block, but was knocked back several steps at the moment of contact, with a trace of blood flowing from the corner of his mouth.

"Damn it! You bunch of ants!" The leader of the new force was furious. He frantically activated his magic wand and black mist poured out of his body, transforming into countless hideous ghosts. They let out shrill roars and pounced towards Chu Mengmeng and Xiao Yichen.

Chu Mengmeng remained calm in the face of danger. The artifact in her hand shone with a more dazzling light, forming a huge light curtain that blocked all the ghosts. The moment the ghosts came into contact with the light curtain, they screamed miserably and turned into wisps of black smoke and dissipated.

The battle entered a fierce stage, both sides were evenly matched, and neither could do anything to the other. In the cave, the collision of spiritual power and magic power stirred up gusts of wind, rubble flew, and echoes rumbled. Chu Mengmeng and Xiao Yichen stood back to back. Although they cooperated well, the long battle also consumed them greatly, and their foreheads were covered with sweat.

At this moment, a cold voice suddenly came from deep in the cave: "Stop!"

A white figure slowly walked out of the darkness. She was wearing a white robe and had a beautiful face, but she also had a hint of coldness that kept people at a distance. In her hand, she held a crystal staff, and on the top of the staff was a huge blue gem that emitted a soft light.

"Who are you?" the leader of the new force asked vigilantly.

The mysterious woman ignored him and turned her gaze to Chu Mengmeng and Xiao Yichen, saying calmly: "I'll give you a hand."

After that, she raised her staff and chanted something. The blue gem suddenly burst into dazzling light, and a powerful magic wave instantly swept the entire cave. The leader of the new force felt this powerful magic power, his face suddenly changed, and he exclaimed: "This... How is this possible?! Who are you?!"

The mysterious woman did not answer, but just looked at him coldly and waved her staff...

The mysterious woman did not answer, but looked at him coldly, and waved the staff in her hand. A lightning bolt as thick as a bucket gushed out from the gem on the top of the staff and hit the leader of the new force directly. The leader of the new force could not avoid it and was hit by the lightning. He screamed, and his body was blown away by the powerful current and hit the stone wall heavily.

"Ahem..." The leader of the new force struggled to get up, a trace of blood oozing from the corner of his mouth, his eyes full of fear. He knew that he was no match for the mysterious woman, not to mention that Chu Mengmeng and Xiao Yichen were watching him closely.

"Want to escape?" Chu Mengmeng saw through his intention. The artifact in her hand shone brightly, forming a light net that blocked the entire cave.

The leader of the new force's face changed drastically. He knew that he had no way to escape and could only give it a try. He frantically urged the magic power in his body, and the black mist surged out of his body again, condensing into a huge black skull, roaring and rushing towards Chu Mengmeng and Xiao Yichen.

"You don't know your own limits!" Xiao Yichen snorted coldly, and the sword in his hand turned into a silver lightning, instantly piercing through the black skull's eyebrows. The black skull wailed and turned into black smoke and dissipated. The leader of the new force lost his last support and suddenly looked ashen.

"You... who are you?" he asked tremblingly, his eyes full of despair.

The mysterious woman still ignored him and just waved her staff. A soft white light enveloped the leader of the new force. He felt dizzy and lost consciousness.

Chu Mengmeng and Xiao Yichen walked up to the mysterious woman and bowed, "Thank you for your help, senior."

The mysterious woman nodded calmly and said, "No need to be polite. I am also here to protect the peace of this continent."

"Senior, you are..." Xiao Yichen asked after hesitating for a moment.

The mysterious woman turned her head and looked into the depths of the cave, with a complicated look in her eyes: "It doesn't matter where I come from. What matters is that you have successfully prevented the disaster from happening."

After saying that, she disappeared in a flash.

Chu Mengmeng and Xiao Yichen looked at each other in bewilderment. They could feel the powerful strength of the mysterious woman, but they didn't know where she came from. However, they understood that the most important thing now was to leave here with the artifact.

Chu Mengmeng walked forward and took the artifact off the stone platform. The dazzling light instantly illuminated the entire cave. She turned to look at Xiao Yichen with a smile on her face: "Let's go."

Xiao Yichen nodded and tightened the sword in his hand. The two walked side by side towards the cave exit. What would greet them would be the dawn of victory... and new challenges.
