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

In the dim secret room, Chu Mengmeng took a deep breath, her eyes gradually firmed up. She gently pushed Xiao Yichen away, her tone gentle but unquestionable: "I have made up my mind, this is the only way."

Xiao Yichen's heart seemed to be tightly grasped by an invisible hand. He opened his mouth, wanting to stop it, but it turned into a sigh. He knew that no one could change Chu Mengmeng's decision.

"Okay, I'll stay with you." Xiao Yichen gazed into Chu Mengmeng's eyes affectionately, and said firmly, "No matter what happens, I will be by your side."

A smile appeared on Chu Mengmeng's lips. She held Xiao Yichen's hand tightly, feeling the warmth from his palm, and her heart was filled with strength.

Chu Mengmeng chanted the ancient spell slowly, and each syllable seemed to carry a mysterious power from ancient times, echoing in the secret room. As the spell was chanted, a layer of light golden light appeared around Chu Mengmeng, and the light became stronger and stronger, and finally completely enveloped her.

Xiao Yichen stared at Chu Mengmeng intently, his eyes full of worry and heartache. He knew that this ancient magic spell required a huge price, but Chu Mengmeng, who had just become a mother, chose to sacrifice herself without hesitation.

Time seemed to stand still at this moment, and only Chu Mengmeng's singing and Xiao Yichen's rapid heartbeat were left in the secret room. Suddenly, Chu Mengmeng groaned, and a trace of blood flowed from the corner of her mouth. The originally bright golden light also became flickering, like a candle in the wind, which could go out at any time.

"Meng Meng!" Xiao Yichen exclaimed, and tried to move forward, but was bounced back by an invisible force. He could only watch Chu Meng Meng suffer great pain, but he was powerless.

At this moment, the mysterious figure who had been lying unconscious in the corner suddenly moved. He suddenly opened his eyes, a strange red light flashed in his eyes, and he uttered an indistinct mutter: "To break the seal... we need... light..."

In the dim secret room, Chu Mengmeng groaned, a trace of blood flowed from the corner of her mouth, and the originally bright golden light became flickering, like a candle in the wind, which could go out at any time. Xiao Yichen was extremely anxious, but he had no choice but to watch Chu Mengmeng endure great pain.

Suddenly, the mysterious figure who had been lying unconscious in the corner sat up abruptly and uttered unclear mutterings: "To break the seal... we need... light..." He closed his eyes and scratched at the air with his hands, as if he was fighting against some invisible force.

"What is he talking about?" Xiao Yichen looked at Chu Mengmeng worriedly, hoping that she could explain this sudden change.

Chu Mengmeng endured the severe pain and said intermittently: "He...he seems to know how to break the shield..."

The mysterious figure struggled more and more violently. He suddenly opened his eyes, and a strange red light flashed in his eyes. He stared at the wall behind Xiao Yichen, and with his last bit of strength, he shouted out a strange rune at the top of his lungs: "Ignis!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the mysterious figure seemed to have lost all his strength, and he collapsed to the ground, fainting. On the wall he was staring at, a golden rune appeared, exactly the same as what he had shouted.

"Ignis...light..." Chu Mengmeng repeated these two words in a low voice, and suddenly a flash of inspiration came to her mind, "I know! This rune represents light, and the key to breaking the shield is hidden deep in the castle, in a place full of light!"

"A place full of light? You mean..." Xiao Yichen immediately thought of something and his face changed suddenly.

Chu Mengmeng nodded with difficulty, her eyes determined: "Yes, it's there! Let's go!"

The two of them no longer hesitated, and ran in the direction pointed by the mysterious figure, through the dark corridor, and finally came to a huge stone door. The stone door was carved with complex and delicate patterns, and in the weak light, it could be vaguely recognized that it was a pattern of the rising sun.

"This is it." Chu Mengmeng took a deep breath and reached out to push open the heavy stone door.

With a sharp friction sound, the stone door slowly opened, and dazzling light poured out from the crack of the door, illuminating the entire corridor. Chu Mengmeng and Xiao Yichen squinted their eyes, and after adapting to the light, they stepped in.

What appeared before their eyes was a spacious and bright hall, with countless sparkling gems inlaid on the walls, illuminating the entire hall like daylight. In the center of the hall stood a huge rune wall, which was densely engraved with various ancient runes, exuding a mysterious and powerful power.

Chu Mengmeng walked to the rune wall and carefully observed each rune, looking for the key to breaking the shield. Her eyes finally fell on the center of the rune wall, where there was an empty rune position, and the shape was exactly the same as the "Ignis" shouted by the mysterious figure.

Chu Mengmeng took a deep breath, her eyes became extremely firm. She slowly raised her right hand, her palm facing the empty rune position, concentrated her mind, and began to chant the ancient magic spell... Chu Mengmeng took a deep breath, closed her eyes, and focused all her mind on her palm. The ancient magic spell slowly came out of her mouth, and every syllable seemed to carry ancient power, echoing in the hall. As the spell was chanted, the air around her body began to fluctuate violently, and the powerful magic power rushed out like a flood, rendering everything around her with a layer of dazzling golden light.

The originally calm rune wall seemed to have sensed this powerful force and began to tremble violently. The gems inlaid on it emitted an even more dazzling light, illuminating Chu Mengmeng's resolute face. Fine beads of sweat oozed from her forehead, and her face gradually turned pale, but she did not stop chanting at all, instead she focused more on injecting her magic power into the spell.

Suddenly, a sharp explosion sounded throughout the castle, and a tiny crack appeared on the originally indestructible shield, spreading rapidly like a spider web.

At the same time, a powerful dark force awakened from the depths of the castle. The monsters that were originally sleeping in the darkness felt threatened, roared deafeningly, and rushed towards the hall where Chu Mengmeng and Xiao Yichen were.

"Roar--!"

The first to rush in were a group of black hounds covered with spikes. Their scarlet eyes stared at Chu Mengmeng, and disgusting green liquid dripped from their sharp fangs, as if they were going to tear her into pieces in the next second.

Seeing this, Xiao Yichen's face changed. He stood in front of Chu Mengmeng without hesitation, drew the sword at his waist, and rushed towards the monsters.

"Mengmeng, you continue to chant the spell, leave this to me!" Xiao Yichen's voice sounded particularly firm and powerful amid the deafening roar.

He knew that now was not the time to hesitate. Only by buying time for Chu Mengmeng could he completely break the shield and save the entire castle, and even the entire world.

The sharp sword blade cut through the air, bringing with it a sharp sword wind, forcing back the hounds that were rushing in the front. However, there were too many monsters to kill, and soon new monsters came up and rushed towards them one after another...

Xiao Yichen waved his sword and fought hard against the monsters' attacks. His eyes were full of determination and he was not afraid at all. He knew that he had to hold on for Chu Mengmeng and for their common future... Xiao Yichen's figure was like a leaf swaying in the wind, dodging and moving among the monsters with difficulty. The sword in his hand was like a silver snake, and every attack brought a splash of blood. However, the monsters were fearless and rushed forward one after another. The smelly liquid splashed on his clothes, and the strong smell of blood almost suffocated him.

"Damn it!" Xiao Yichen growled, his strength draining away rapidly. He knew that this was not the way to go on, and he had to fight quickly!

He took a deep breath, and a trace of determination flashed in his eyes. The next moment, he stopped dodging and rushed towards the monster. The sword flashed like lightning, leaving afterimages in the air, screams came one after another, and the monster's corpses piled up like a mountain.

However, at this moment, a more powerful dark force spread from the depths of the castle. The originally crazy monsters seemed to have received some kind of summons, and they stopped attacking, growled uneasyly, and slowly retreated.

"Not good!" Xiao Yichen's heart sank, and an unprecedented sense of crisis surged in his mind.

"Xiao Yichen, be careful!" Chu Mengmeng's anxious voice came from behind.

Xiao Yichen turned around suddenly and saw a huge black shadow falling from the sky, smashing towards him with the power to destroy the world!

"boom--!"

With a loud bang, the ground shook violently, and smoke and dust filled the air, covering everything.

Chu Mengmeng's heart seemed to be tightly grasped by someone. She rushed towards the center of the explosion regardless of everything, constantly calling Xiao Yichen's name.

"Xiao Yichen! Where are you? Answer me!"

However, the only response she received was dead silence.

At this moment, Chu Mengmeng felt a powerful force surging from her body, her eyes went dark, and she lost consciousness.

"Mengmeng!"

A low and hoarse voice sounded in my ears, with a hint of anxiety and worry that was difficult to conceal.
