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

"The book says that the Heartburning Grass grows in extremely cold places and is born along with volcanoes..." Chu Mengmeng's slender fingers gently stroked the pattern of the Heartburning Grass in the ancient book, frowning slightly, "It seems that the place we are going to must be full of dangers."

Xiao Yichen spread out the map. The place where the Burning Heart Grass grows is located at the northernmost end of the Apocalypse Continent. It is covered with ice and snow all year round and is rarely visited by people. "It is recorded in the book that there is a mountain stronghold called 'Black Wind Stronghold' near where the Burning Heart Grass grows. Perhaps we can go there to get some information."

So, Chu Mengmeng, Xiao Yichen, Su Mubai and Lin Wan'er set out on a journey to the Far North. Along the way, they crossed mountains and ridges, crossed turbulent rivers, and finally arrived near the Black Wind Village.

However, they did not know that they had mistakenly entered the territory of Black Wind Village.

"Who dares to trespass into Black Wind Village?"

With a roar, dozens of men in black armed with swords and knives rushed out of the dense forest and surrounded them. The leader was a burly man with a face full of flesh, holding a huge machete in his hand, emitting a cold light.

"We are just passing by here and have no ill intentions." Xiao Yichen stepped forward and said with a bow.

"Just passing by? Humph, I think you are here to get information!" The leader of the Black Wind Village sneered, "Brothers, capture him!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the man in black brandished his sword and rushed towards them.

"Be careful!" Xiao Yichen protected Chu Mengmeng behind him, drew his sword, and fought the enemy.

Su Mubai and Lin Wan'er also drew their swords to help and engaged in a fierce battle with the men in black.

Although Chu Mengmeng didn't know martial arts, she was not a weak woman. She threw out several silver needles from her sleeves and accurately shot the acupuncture points of several men in black, who fell to the ground.

However, there were many men in black, and each of them had great martial arts skills, so Chu Mengmeng and the others gradually fell into a disadvantage.

"Haha, just surrender obediently!" The leader of the Black Wind Village laughed wildly, waving his sword and slashing at Xiao Yichen.

Xiao Yichen dodged the fierce attack by leaning sideways, but the Black Wind Village leader's sword was so powerful that it scratched his cheek painfully. He did not dare to neglect it, and the long sword in his hand danced like a spirit snake, the sword light flashed, and he tangled with the Black Wind Village leader.

"Meng Meng, hurry up!" Su Mubai shouted anxiously while fending off the attack from the men in black. He knew that if they continued like this, they would all be caught.

Chu Mengmeng also knew that the current situation was very dangerous, but she was unwilling to abandon her companions and escape alone. She gritted her teeth, took out a delicate sachet from her bosom, and crushed it with force.

Suddenly, a strange fragrance spread out. When the men in black smelled it, they felt dizzy and the swords in their hands became extremely heavy.

"Oh no, it's poisonous!" The leader of the Black Wind Village's face changed drastically and he quickly covered his mouth and nose, but he had already inhaled a lot of fragrance. He felt his eyes go dark and his body was shaking.

"Let's go!" Su Mubai took the opportunity to pull Chu Mengmeng's hand and ran towards the depths of the dense forest. Xiao Yichen also seized the opportunity, forced the leader of the Black Wind Village back with a sword, and turned around to follow Su Mubai and Chu Mengmeng.

Lin Wan'er was responsible for the rear guard. She held a long sword and moved among the men in black like a ghost. Wherever the sword passed, blood splattered. But after all, two fists are no match for four hands. Lin Wan'er was careless and was scratched on the arm by the blade of the man in black. The blood instantly dyed her sleeves red.

"Wan'er!" Chu Mengmeng exclaimed and wanted to go back to save Lin Wan'er, but was held tightly by Su Mubai.

"Don't go back, you'll just die in vain!" Su Mubai said anxiously, "Let's find a safe place to hide first, and then think of a way to save Wan'er!"

Although Chu Mengmeng was unwilling, she knew that now was not the time to act rashly. She could only watch Lin Wan'er being surrounded by men in black, her heart filled with worry and self-blame.

Xiao Yichen led Chu Mengmeng and Su Mubai and ran all the way, finally shaking off the pursuers. They found a hidden cave and placed Lin Wan'er inside.

"Wan'er, how are you?" Chu Mengmeng asked anxiously.

Lin Wan'er's face was pale, with cold sweat on her forehead, but she still forced a smile and said, "I'm fine, it's just a superficial wound, I'll be fine after a rest."

Chu Mengmeng bandaged Lin Wan'er's wound distressedly, feeling full of guilt. If it wasn't for the search for the Burning Heart Grass, Lin Wan'er wouldn't have been injured.

"It's all my fault. If it weren't for me, you wouldn't have been hurt." Chu Mengmeng said self-reproachfully.

"Silly girl, what are you talking about?" Lin Wan'er patted Chu Mengmeng's hand gently and comforted her, "We are friends, we should help each other, right?"

"Wan'er, stop talking and have a good rest." Chu Mengmeng's eyes were slightly red, and she became more determined to find the Burning Heart Grass.

Outside the cave, night fell. Xiao Yichen frowned and paced back and forth, with a lot of thoughts in his mind. Su Mubai leaned against the stone wall beside him, his face also solemn.

"The Black Wind Village is extremely vicious and cruel. If we just break in like this, it would be like a sheep walking into a tiger's mouth." Su Mubai said in a deep voice with a hint of worry in his tone.

Xiao Yichen stopped and frowned, "But the clues are gone, what else can we do?"

Su Mubai remained silent. He understood Xiao Yichen's concerns and knew that time was running out, but rash action would only lead to death.

"Brother Su, Brother Xiao, what are you talking about?" Chu Mengmeng walked out of the cave and asked softly.

"Mengmeng, are you awake?" Xiao Yichen hurriedly stepped forward and asked with concern, "How do you feel? Does the wound still hurt?"

Chu Mengmeng shook her head and looked at the two of them. She keenly noticed that something was wrong with the atmosphere. "Did something happen?"

Xiao Yichen and Su Mubai looked at each other, and finally told her that the herbal clue was snatched away by the leader of the Black Wind Village.

"What?!" Chu Mengmeng exclaimed, her face suddenly turned pale, "Then we have worked in vain?"

"Now is not the time to be discouraged, we still have a chance." Xiao Yichen clenched his fists, his eyes flashing with determination, "I have decided to sneak into the Black Wind Village tonight and retrieve the clues!"

"No, it's too dangerous!" Chu Mengmeng and Su Mubai said in unison.

"I know it's dangerous, but this is the only way." Xiao Yichen said firmly, "I can't watch Wan'er suffer, and I can't watch those innocent villagers being oppressed by the Black Wind Village."

Chu Mengmeng looked at Xiao Yichen's determined eyes, and her heart was filled with emotion and admiration. She knew that she could not stop him, let alone become a burden to him.

"I'll go with you!" Chu Mengmeng said firmly.

"No! You have to stay here to take care of Wan'er. Black Wind Village is too dangerous. You can't go!" Xiao Yichen refused without even thinking.

"Brother Xiao, don't forget, I'm not some delicate young lady!" Chu Mengmeng said with a hint of dissatisfaction, "I have the ability to protect myself, and I can help you too!"

Xiao Yichen wanted to say something else, but was stopped by Su Mubai, "Yichen, let Mengmeng go with you. The three of us can take care of each other, and our chances of winning will be better."

Xiao Yichen hesitated for a moment, and finally nodded, "Okay, but you must promise me that safety is the most important thing!"

Chu Mengmeng nodded solemnly. After the three of them discussed it, they took advantage of the night and quietly moved towards the Black Wind Village.

Under the cover of night, the Black Wind Village was brightly lit, but there was an eerie silence, like the calm before a storm. Chu Mengmeng and the other two hid in the woods, observing the situation in the village, feeling uneasy.

Suddenly, a black shadow fell from the sky and landed in front of the three people. Under the moonlight, the ferocious face was the leader of the Black Wind Village!
