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

"Oh no, we've been discovered!" Su Mubai exclaimed in a low voice and tightened the hilt of the sword in his hand.

However, the black shadow did not launch an attack, but instead chuckled, "What brings you three to Black Wind Village so late at night? I wonder what brings you here?"

With the weak moonlight, Chu Mengmeng saw the figure of the person coming. It was not the burly village chief, but a graceful woman. She had an idea in mind, but pretended to be panicked, "Lady, please spare us! The three of us are just passing merchants who passed by here and mistakenly entered your precious place. Please spare us and let us go!"

The woman smiled softly and covered her lips when she heard this. "Merchant? What kind of business are you doing in this remote place?"

"This..." Chu Mengmeng rolled her eyes and pointed at Su Mubai and Xiao Yichen, "They are selling spices, and I manage their accounts."

The woman's eyes fell on Su Mubai and Xiao Yichen. The two cooperated to open the packages they carried with them, and a strange fragrance suddenly spread. This fragrance was not an ordinary spice, but a psychedelic incense made by Chu Mengmeng using the golden finger to mix several common herbs together.

After the woman inhaled the fragrance, her eyes gradually became blurred. Seeing this, Chu Mengmeng was secretly delighted and continued, "We bought this spice from the Western Regions at a high price. If you like it, I can sell it to you at a lower price."

The woman was completely controlled by the psychedelic incense at this time. She nodded unconsciously and let Chu Mengmeng control her. Chu Mengmeng pretended to take out a few packets of spices from the package and stuffed them into the woman's hands, "These are for the heroine. We will leave now and will never reveal a word of what happened today!"

The woman took the spices in a daze and waved her hand, indicating that they could leave. Chu Mengmeng and the other two looked at each other, suppressed their smiles, returned along the same route, and quickly disappeared into the night.

After getting rid of the woman's entanglement, the three did not rush to leave, but headed towards the village owner's room as planned. Along the way, they encountered several patrolling guards, but they were all easily dealt with by Xiao Yichen and Su Mubai without making any noise.

Outside the village, Lin Wan'er, wearing night clothes, hid on a thick old tree, vigilantly observing the movements around her. The night wind blew, the leaves rustled, and the occasional roar of wild beasts in the distance added a bit of tension. According to the plan, she was responsible for the response. Once Chu Mengmeng and Xiao Yichen succeeded or encountered danger, she must send a signal immediately and provide help in every possible way.

Time passed by, and Lin Wan'er couldn't help feeling anxious. She looked up at the night sky, which was dotted with stars, but could not illuminate the heavy haze that permeated the sky above the Black Wind Village.

"I hope everything goes well for Mengmeng and Brother Xiao." Lin Wan'er prayed softly, holding the flare in her hand a little tighter.

At the same time, Chu Mengmeng and Xiao Yichen had successfully sneaked into the village owner's room. The room was simply furnished, but filled with a strong smell of herbs. A tiger skin was spread on the bed, indicating the identity and status of the room owner.

“The leader of the Black Wind Village looks big and strong, but I didn’t expect that he likes the smell of herbs.” Chu Mengmeng said in a low voice, but her eyes kept scanning the room, trying to find clues about the antidote.

Xiao Yichen didn't say anything, but walked straight to the desk and carefully flipped through the books and scrolls on it. Suddenly, his eyes focused and he pulled out a yellowed parchment from a pile of messy papers.

"What is this?" Chu Mengmeng came over curiously and saw a map drawn on the parchment with mountains, rivers, houses and trees marked in great detail.

"It looks like a treasure map." Xiao Yichen carefully identified the marks on the map, and felt in his heart that this map might have some connection with the purpose of their trip.

"Treasure map?" Chu Mengmeng took the map and examined it carefully. "Could it be that this Black Wind Village has hidden some treasure?"

"Maybe it's more than just a treasure." Xiao Yichen pointed to a place marked with a red skull on the map, "Look here, does it look like the valley we encountered before?"

Chu Mengmeng looked in the direction of Xiao Yichen's finger and was immediately shocked, "It really is! Could it be that the secret of the Black Wind Village is hidden in that valley?"

"It's very likely." Xiao Yichen put the map away. "It seems that we may have an unexpected gain this time."

"But the antidote hasn't been found yet. Are we just going to leave like this?" Chu Mengmeng hesitated.

"Don't worry, I've found the clue." Xiao Yichen pointed to a medical book on the table, "It records a herb called 'Seven-Star Begonia', which should be the key to the antidote."

Chu Mengmeng was overjoyed when she heard this. She quickly put away the medical book and was about to leave with Xiao Yichen when suddenly, heavy footsteps came from outside the door...

"Oh no! Someone is coming!" Chu Mengmeng reacted very quickly, grabbed Xiao Yichen and hid behind a thick curtain.

Almost at the same time, the door was roughly pushed open, and a burly man with a face full of flesh walked in. It was the leader of the Black Wind Village. He looked around with a fierce look, like a beast that smelled its prey.

"Strange, I clearly smell a strange scent." The leader of the Black Wind Village muttered to himself, walked to the table, picked up the teacup on the table, but found that the tea was still warm.

"Am I too suspicious?" The leader of the Black Wind Village placed the teacup heavily on the table and turned to leave.

Chu Mengmeng and Xiao Yichen hid behind the curtain and dared not make a sound, for fear of being discovered.

"Wait!" Just as the leader of the Black Wind Village was about to step out of the threshold, Xiao Yichen suddenly spoke and walked out from behind the curtain.

"Who are you?!" The leader of the Black Wind Village turned around suddenly, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes. Obviously, he didn't expect that there was someone hiding in the room.

"I was passing by here, and seeing that it was getting late, I wanted to stay for one night. I hope the village chief would give me some convenience." Xiao Yichen said calmly, while protecting Chu Mengmeng behind him unnoticed.

"Stay overnight?" The leader of the Black Wind Village looked Xiao Yichen up and down, his eyes full of suspicion, "How did you get into my room?"

"Well..." Xiao Yichen pretended to hesitate, his eyes swept across the room, and finally landed on the window, "I saw that the window was not closed, so I came in through the window."

The leader of the Black Wind Village walked to the window and checked it carefully, and indeed there was no sign that the window had been pried open.

"Humph! You're lucky, kid!" The leader of the Black Wind Village snorted coldly, turned around and left. Before leaving, he did not forget to warn, "I advise you to behave yourself. If I find out what you are up to, don't blame me for being ruthless!"

After saying that, the leader of the Black Wind Village left the room and slammed the door shut.

Chu Mengmeng and Xiao Yichen looked at each other and saw a glimmer of hope in each other's eyes.

"That was a close call! We were almost discovered!" Chu Mengmeng patted her chest and said with lingering fear.

"Now is not the time to talk, we have to leave here quickly!" Xiao Yichen said, pulling Chu Mengmeng's hand, and ran towards the window.

The two men climbed out of the window and ran all the way down the mountain.

"Stop! Don't run!" The angry roar of the Black Wind Village's minions came from behind.

It turned out that after the leader of the Black Wind Village left the room, he felt more and more that something was wrong, so he sent people back, only to find that Chu Mengmeng and Xiao Yichen had disappeared. He immediately realized that he had been fooled, and immediately ordered a search throughout the village.

Chu Mengmeng and Xiao Yichen ran wildly in the dark night, with the Black Wind Village minions chasing them closely behind them and deafening shouts of killing in their ears. A thrilling chase began...
