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

Yellow sand filled the sky, and the wind howled. Chu Mengmeng and Xiao Yichen were trapped on the sand dunes, back to back. The men in black came like a tide, their eyes flashing with greed and cruelty, as if they regarded Chu Mengmeng and Xiao Yichen as lambs to be slaughtered.

"Mengmeng, don't be afraid." Xiao Yichen's voice was a little erratic in the wind, but it was extremely firm. The long sword in his hand turned into silver lightning, forcing back the men in black who tried to approach. "We will survive."

Chu Mengmeng tightly grasped the staff, and a layer of cold sweat oozed out of her palms. She knew that at this moment, they were on the verge of life and death, and if they were not careful, they would be doomed. But she was not a weak and helpless dodder, she was Chu Mengmeng, and even in a desperate situation, she would try her best to survive!

"Ice a thousand miles!" Chu Mengmeng shouted, waving her staff, and ice cones poured out like a rainstorm, freezing the men in black into ice sculptures. However, there were so many men in black, and they kept coming one after another, so they could not be killed at all.

At this moment, a deafening sound of horse hooves came from afar, and in the yellow sand, a cavalry team swept in like a black whirlwind. They were wearing animal skins, holding scimitars, and their faces were painted with bright oil paint. They were the warriors of the nomadic people!

"It's Brother Amur!" Xiao Yichen showed a happy smile on his face when he saw the burly man in the lead.

"Brother Yichen, I'm here to help you!" Amur shouted, unsheathed his scimitar, flashing with cold light, and instantly killed several men in black. The warriors of the nomadic people were all brave and good at fighting, and their joining immediately turned the tide of the battle.

The leader of the men in black saw that the situation was not good and let out a sharp whistle. Upon hearing the order, the men in black abandoned their opponents and retreated.

"Want to escape? Not that easy!" Chu Mengmeng saw the men in black trying to retreat, and a cold light flashed in her eyes. She noticed that when the men in black retreated, they always deliberately avoided a certain direction, as if there was something scary there.

"Xiao Yichen, look!" Chu Mengmeng pointed in that direction and said in a low voice, "They seem to be afraid of something..." As soon as Chu Mengmeng finished speaking, Xiao Yichen also noticed something strange. He looked in the direction of Chu Mengmeng's gaze and saw that the black-clothed men were retreating in a direction that always kept a distance from a figure in a black robe, as if they were afraid of something. The black-robed man was surrounded by a dark aura that made people feel frightened. Even from a distance, he could feel the suffocating sense of oppression.

"It's them!" Xiao Yichen recognized the black-robed man at a glance. He was the new dark force pursuer who attacked them in the town before. "Their target is..."

Before Xiao Yichen finished speaking, Chu Mengmeng understood what he meant. The target of the new dark forces was not them, but the magician who was corrupted by darkness!

“We can’t let them succeed!” Chu Mengmeng acted decisively and waved the staff in her hand. A giant frost dragon roared out and headed straight for the group of men in black.

"Mengmeng, be careful!" Seeing this, Xiao Yichen hurriedly waved his sword and followed to protect Chu Mengmeng.

Wherever the Frost Dragon passed, the men in black were frozen into ice sculptures. However, it seemed that the men in black were prepared. They formed a strange formation and a black mist emanated from them, which actually resisted the Frost Dragon's attack.

"Their power..." Chu Mengmeng was shocked. The strength of the new dark forces seemed to be even stronger than they had imagined!

At this moment, the man in black robe suddenly let out a hoarse roar, and a powerful dark force burst out from his body, instantly blowing away the surrounding men in black.

"Oh no, he's going to..." Xiao Yichen's face changed drastically. He knew that the magician who was corroded by darkness was going to lose control!

"Stop him!" Chu Mengmeng also knew the seriousness of the matter. She did not care about retaining her strength and injected all her magic power into the staff.

"Frozen for thousands of miles!"

A huge ice wall rose from the ground, blocking the black-robed man and Chu Mengmeng and others. However, the black-robed man just waved his hand lightly, and the ice wall shattered like tofu.

“Hahaha…” the man in black robe laughed wildly, “Do you think you can stop me like this? You are too naive!”

At this moment, the mysterious figure who had been silent all this time suddenly moved. He walked up to Chu Mengmeng and Xiao Yichen and whispered, "You go first, I'll hold him back!"

"You..." Chu Mengmeng and Xiao Yichen were both stunned. They didn't understand why this mysterious figure was willing to risk his life to protect them?

"Stop talking nonsense, it will be too late if you don't leave now!" The mysterious figure suddenly pushed Chu Mengmeng and Xiao Yichen away, then turned to face the man in black robe, with a flash of determination in his eyes, "If you want to get my power, it depends on whether you have the ability!" The black-robed man's arrogant laughter echoed in the empty grassland, forming a sharp contrast with the mysterious figure's resolute eyes.

“You don’t know your own limitations!” The man in black robe snorted coldly, and the black mist around him surged, as if countless evil spirits were roaring, “I’ll let you see what the real power of darkness is!”

Just as the black-robed man was about to launch an attack, the mysterious figure who had been silent all this time moved. He slowly raised his right hand, and a dazzling golden light gradually condensed in the palm of his hand, illuminating his stern face.

“You… you actually…” The man in black robes looked at the golden light in the mysterious figure’s hand in astonishment, his voice trembling with disbelief, “Impossible, how could you possibly possess…”

The mysterious figure ignored the exclamation of the man in black robe. The golden light in his hand became more and more dazzling, and finally turned into a golden beam of light, rising into the sky, tearing a huge crack in the originally dark sky.

"Forbidden magic!" Xiao Yichen exclaimed. He recognized the magic used by the mysterious figure. "He actually did it for us..."

Taboo magic, as the name implies, is a powerful magic that is forbidden to be used in this world. This kind of magic has a terrible power to destroy the world, but it will also cause a huge backlash to the user.

"Ahhhhh!" The mysterious figure screamed in pain, his body enveloped by golden light, as if it would be torn apart at any moment. However, he gritted his teeth and persisted, pouring all his strength into the golden beam of light.

The golden beam of light, with its earth-shattering might, fiercely slammed into the black-robed man. After a deafening bang, the black-robed man screamed and was knocked away, falling heavily to the ground in the distance, his life or death unknown.

"Go!" The mysterious figure endured the severe pain in his body and shouted at Chu Mengmeng and Xiao Yichen, "I can't hold on for much longer!"

Chu Mengmeng and Xiao Yichen looked at each other, and saw deep gratitude and admiration in each other's eyes. They knew that now was not the time to hesitate, and they had to leave here as soon as possible to live up to the sacrifice of the mysterious figure.

"Thank you!" Chu Mengmeng bowed deeply to the mysterious figure, then took Xiao Yichen's hand, turned around and ran away.

"Hurry up!" The nomadic leader who had been watching the battle on the side also urged, "We will cover you!"

Under the cover of the nomadic warriors, Chu Mengmeng and Xiao Yichen tried their best to escape into the distance.

Behind him, there was a deafening explosion and the resolute back of a mysterious figure.

What Chu Mengmeng and Xiao Yichen didn't know was that their escape this time was just the beginning of another story...

"They will be fine," the nomadic leader muttered to himself as he watched Chu Mengmeng and Xiao Yichen walk away, his tone full of worry, "But..."

The cold wind blew on Chu Mengmeng and Xiao Yichen's faces. They didn't dare to stop. The sound of the horses' hooves behind them seemed like a death warrant, which made them tremble with fear. Chu Mengmeng hugged the baby tightly in her arms. The child cried softly because of the bumps, which added to her anxiety.

"Mengmeng, give the child to me. It's too tiring for you to run like this." Xiao Yichen looked at Chu Mengmeng with heartache and reached out to take the child.

"No, you still have to protect me!" Chu Mengmeng shook her head firmly. The child was her only comfort in this strange world, and she would never let go.

"Chase! Don't let them run away!" The roar of the pursuers came from behind, accompanied by the sound of arrows breaking through the air.

Xiao Yichen pulled Chu Mengmeng and ran forward even harder. A series of magic barriers were built behind him to block the rain of arrows. The nomadic warriors also fought bravely, using their lives to buy time for them.

"The Valley of Despair is ahead!" A nomadic warrior pointed ahead with a hint of despair in his tone.

The Valley of Despair, as the name suggests, is a dangerous place, surrounded by mountains on three sides and with only one narrow exit. It is easy to defend but difficult to attack, making it an ideal place to bury bones.

"It seems that we can only fight to the death!" A look of determination flashed in Xiao Yichen's eyes.

They had no way to retreat, and the only way they could do so was to fight to the death to seize that glimmer of hope.

After entering the Valley of Despair, Xiao Yichen commanded the nomadic warriors to set traps and roadblocks, using the terrain to fight the pursuers. Chu Mengmeng hid behind a boulder, anxiously looking at the battlefield, the child fell asleep peacefully in her arms, as if the fighting outside had nothing to do with him.

"Mengmeng, take good care of yourself and the child." Xiao Yichen came to Chu Mengmeng and gently kissed her on the forehead, his eyes gentle and firm.

"You have to be careful!" Chu Mengmeng held his hand tightly, and thousands of words turned into one warning.

Xiao Yichen returned to the battlefield and fought side by side with the nomadic warriors. Although they were few in number, they were full of vigor and momentum. With their familiarity with the terrain and their courage to face death, they blocked the crazy attack of the pursuers.

The battle lasted for a whole day and night, and both sides were exhausted. Just when the nomadic warriors were about to collapse, a powerful wave of magic suddenly came from outside the valley, accompanied by a deafening roar of beasts.

"Yes...it's reinforcements!" a nomadic warrior shouted in surprise.

I saw a group of warriors riding on giant wolves falling from the sky. They were covered in animal skins and held sharp blades in their hands. They were like divine soldiers descending from the sky and instantly turned the situation of the battle around.

The leading warrior was tall with a stern face. He rode a giant snow-white wolf and held a huge battle axe in his hand. Wherever he went, blood and flesh flew everywhere, and no one could stop him.

"He is... the leader of the Wolf God Tribe, Wolf Howl!" The nomadic leader recognized the man and was so excited that he spoke incoherently.

Lang Xiao is one of the most powerful tribal leaders on the grassland. The Wolf God Tribe he leads is famous for its bravery and fighting skills and is everyone's nightmare.

"Who dares to offend the allies of the Wolf God Tribe!" The sound of the wolf's howl echoed in the valley like thunder.

"Retreat!" The leader of the pursuers saw the wolf howling, his face changed drastically and he ordered a retreat.

Lang Xiao did not chase him. He got off the wolf and walked in front of Xiao Yichen, looking at him with complicated eyes: "Are you Xiao Yichen?"

Xiao Yichen nodded. He knew that Lang Xiao’s appearance was no accident. Someone must be helping them secretly.

"Come with me, someone wants to see you." Wolf Howl said, then turned and left.

Xiao Yichen looked back at Chu Mengmeng, his eyes full of worry and reluctance, but he knew that he had to figure it all out in order to protect his beloved. He followed Wolf Howl out of the Desperate Valley and came to a hidden cave.

"Go in, he's waiting for you." Wolf Howl pointed at the cave, his voice low.

Xiao Yichen took a deep breath and walked into the cave. The cave was deep and bottomless, with only a dim oil lamp emitting a weak light. He walked through a long corridor and came to a spacious cave.

In the center of the cave, there sat a man in a black robe. His figure was shrouded in darkness and his face could not be seen clearly.

"You're finally here, Xiao Yichen." The man in black robe spoke slowly, his voice low and hoarse, as if it came from the Nine Nether Hell.

Xiao Yichen's heart shuddered. He felt a strong sense of oppression coming towards him, making it almost impossible for him to breathe.
