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

"Crack!"

With a crisp sound, a fine crack appeared on the surface of the barrier, spreading rapidly like a spider web, covering the entire black light curtain in an instant.

"Not good!" The dark wizard's face suddenly changed. He looked at the scene in front of him in disbelief. Chu Mengmeng actually broke his confinement magic!

"Now!" Xiao Yichen's eyes flashed, and he seized this fleeting opportunity, raised his sword high, and charged again. The sharp sword energy cut through the air and went straight to the dark wizard's throat.

"Protect the mage!" Seeing this, several of the dark mage's guards immediately abandoned their opponents and pounced towards Xiao Yichen, trying to stop his attack.

"Get out of here!" Xiao Yichen roared, and the long sword in his hand turned into a trail of afterimages, forcing several guards to retreat. He was full of murderous aura, like a god of death, unstoppable.

At this moment, the barrier shattered, and Chu Mengmeng appeared in front of everyone. She was pale, her breath was disordered, and it was obvious that she had consumed a lot of energy.

"Mengmeng!" Xiao Yichen was delighted and was about to rush over, but suddenly he saw a strange smile on Chu Mengmeng's face, which made his heart tighten.

"Let's go! Get out of here!" Chu Mengmeng ignored Xiao Yichen's worries. She shouted weakly with a hint of urgency in her voice.

Although Xiao Yichen was full of doubts, the situation was critical at the moment and he could not afford to think too much. He took Chu Mengmeng's hand and led the remaining soldiers to break out of the castle.

The dark wizard watched them escape with a terribly gloomy face. He never thought that the trap he had carefully laid would be cracked by a little girl who was still wet behind the ears!

"Want to escape? Not that easy!" The dark wizard roared, and a powerful dark magic burst out from his body, turning into a black lightning, chasing towards Xiao Yichen and others.

"Hurry! His target is us. I will stop him. You guys leave quickly!" A seriously injured castle soldier suddenly stood in front of everyone and said resolutely.

"No! Let's go together!" Xiao Yichen refused. He couldn't leave any of his companions behind.

"Don't be silly! It will be too late if you don't leave now! This is an order!" The soldier roared, poured all his magic power into the spear in his hand, and threw it in the direction of the dark wizard.

The spear turned into a stream of light, and with a sound of breaking through the air, it shot towards the Dark Mage. However, this was just a mantis trying to stop a chariot, and the Dark Mage simply waved his hand lightly and knocked the spear to the ground.

"You don't know your own limitations!" The dark wizard snorted coldly and approached Xiao Yichen and the others again.

"Go!" the soldier shouted in despair. He knew that he was powerless to change the situation and only hoped that Xiao Yichen and the others could escape.

"Let's go!" Xiao Yichen spat out the word with gritted teeth. He knew that now was not the time to hesitate. He had to take the surviving soldiers away from here and preserve his strength so that he would have a chance to make a comeback.

He held Chu Mengmeng's hand and ran towards the depths of the dark forest with other soldiers. The dark wizard's cold laughter echoed behind them, like a maggot on their tarsal bones, lingering...

"You can't escape..."

Edge of the Abyss

The fleeing team shuttled through the dense forest, branches and leaves whipped their faces, leaving traces of blood. Chu Mengmeng was exhausted and was almost dragged by Xiao Yichen. But she bit her lower lip tightly and did not complain, but her clear eyes were now covered with a heavy shadow.

"Cough cough..." A soldier was exhausted, staggered, and fell heavily to the ground.

"Old Li!" Xiao Yichen wanted to step forward to help, but was held back by Chu Mengmeng.

"Don't worry about it, we can't take him away!" Chu Mengmeng's voice was hoarse, but very calm, "If we stop now, we will die!"

Xiao Yichen looked at the soldier's desperate eyes and felt as if his heart was being cut by a knife, but he had to grit his teeth and continue to run forward.

The dark wizard's sneer followed them like a shadow, like the whisper of death, echoing in their ears.

"Run, why don't you run anymore? Do you think you can escape?" Along with this creepy voice, a black lightning fell from the sky and blasted a huge crater in the road ahead of them.

"Damn it!" Xiao Yichen cursed inwardly and had to change direction again, leading everyone to rush left and right in the dense forest.

However, their physical strength and magic power were constantly depleting, and the situation became increasingly difficult. Soldiers fell one by one, and despair spread among the team.

"Mengmeng, let me go..." Xiao Yichen panted and said to Chu Mengmeng, "I will stay to stop him, you take everyone away!"

"No! Let's go together!" Chu Mengmeng shook her head stubbornly, but her pale face and trembling body betrayed her weakness at the moment.

“Hahaha, how touching!” The dark wizard’s voice was getting closer and closer. “But it’s useless! You will all die here!”

At this critical moment of life and death, Chu Mengmeng suddenly discovered that not far in front of them, at the root of a towering tree, there seemed to be a dark hole hidden...

"Over there!" Chu Mengmeng pointed at the cave entrance and said to Xiao Yichen, "Maybe we can hide in there!"

Xiao Yichen followed her gaze and his eyes suddenly lit up.

"Come on!"

He no longer hesitated, pulled Chu Mengmeng up, and ran towards the cave entrance...

"Want to hide? Not that easy!" The dark wizard's voice sounded behind them, carrying a chilling chill.

"boom--"

With a loud bang, the entrance of the cave was hit by dark magic, and rocks flew everywhere.

Chu Mengmeng and Xiao Yichen had already disappeared into the darkness...

The entrance of the cave was narrow, only enough for one person to pass through. Xiao Yichen went in first, then turned around and pulled Chu Mengmeng in. The cave was pitch black, and you couldn't see your hand in front of you. Only the sound of rapid breathing echoed in the darkness.

"Cough cough..." Chu Mengmeng covered her mouth and coughed softly. The dust and branches on the road of escape scratched her throat, causing her to feel a stinging pain.

"Don't talk yet, we have to find a safe place." Xiao Yichen's voice was low and a little tired. He groped the wall and moved forward slowly.

The cave was winding, and the air was filled with a damp and moldy smell, mixed with an indescribable weird smell. Chu Mengmeng tightly grasped the corner of Xiao Yichen's clothes, and took every step carefully, for fear of touching something terrible.

After walking for an unknown amount of time, a faint light appeared in front of them. They quickened their pace and came to a relatively spacious cave. There was a crack on the top of the cave, and the faint light came from there.

With the help of the light, Chu Mengmeng could see the scene inside the cave clearly. The cave walls were covered with mosses and unknown fungi, emitting a faint green light. There were some animal skeletons scattered on the ground, some of which were already rotten, and some were still intact, which looked particularly eerie in the silent cave.

Xiao Yichen looked around with a frown on his face. He felt an invisible pressure enveloping the cave, as if something was lurking in the darkness, watching their every move.

"Something...is not right here." He lowered his voice and said to Chu Mengmeng, "We can't stay here for long. We have to find a way to leave as soon as possible."

Chu Mengmeng nodded, she also felt uneasy. She crossed her arms, trying to give herself some sense of security. However, at this moment, she suddenly felt something touch her lightly at her feet.

She looked down, and in the dim light, she saw a dry hand bone lying quietly at her feet. The knuckles of the hand bone were clearly visible, and it seemed to still maintain the posture it had when it was alive, pointing deep into the cave...

"Ah!" Chu Mengmeng couldn't help but exclaim and instinctively stepped back.

"What's wrong?" Xiao Yichen turned around immediately and protected Chu Mengmeng behind him.

"There..." Chu Mengmeng pointed at the hand bone, her voice trembling, "There seems to be something there..."

Xiao Yichen followed her gaze but saw nothing. He comforted her, "Don't be afraid, they are just some animal skeletons."

However, before he could finish his words, he heard a rustling sound coming from deep in the cave. The sound was getting closer and clearer, as if something was approaching them quickly...

Xiao Yichen's face changed, he tightened his weapon, and whispered, "Be careful!"

As soon as the words fell, a black shadow suddenly jumped out from the darkness and rushed towards Chu Mengmeng...

The shadow was so fast that Chu Mengmeng didn't even see its appearance before it was knocked to the ground by a powerful force. She screamed and instinctively protected her child with her hands.

"Meng Meng!" Xiao Yichen shouted and swung his sword towards the black shadow.

The sword cut through the air, making a sharp whistling sound, but failed to hurt the black shadow at all. The black shadow let out a roar and threw Xiao Yichen to the ground.

With the weak light, Chu Mengmeng finally saw what was attacking them. It was a pitch-black creature, shaped like a wolf, but with a pair of bat-like wings, and a pair of blood-red eyes flashing ferociously in the darkness.

More dark shadows emerged from the depths of the cave, emitting bursts of creepy roars, and surrounded Chu Mengmeng and Xiao Yichen.

"What kind of monster is this..." Chu Mengmeng asked in horror, with a hint of trembling in her voice.

"It's a dark creature." Xiao Yichen struggled to get up from the ground, his face solemn, "It seems we have entered their nest by mistake."

The number of dark creatures increased. They approached with their fangs and claws bared, and a foul smell filled the face.

Xiao Yichen protected Chu Mengmeng behind him and waved his sword to resist the attack of the dark creature. His movements were still sharp, but he could clearly feel that his physical strength was rapidly fading.

Chu Mengmeng was extremely anxious. She knew that in their current state, they would not be able to defeat these monsters.

"Xiao Yichen, what should we do?" She grasped the corner of Xiao Yichen's clothes tightly, her voice full of fear and helplessness.

Xiao Yichen did not answer, but gritted his teeth and swung the sword faster and faster, putting all his strength into every strike.

However, two fists are no match for four hands, let alone facing such a large number of dark creatures.

A dark creature took advantage of Xiao Yichen's unpreparedness, went around behind him, and grabbed his back with its sharp claws.

"Xiao Yichen!" Chu Mengmeng exclaimed, watching as several blood scars deep enough to see the bones appeared on Xiao Yichen's back.

Blood stained Xiao Yichen's clothes red, but he seemed not to feel the pain. He still waved the sword in his hand vigorously, preventing any dark creature from getting close to Chu Mengmeng.

"Go! Don't worry about me!" Xiao Yichen roared, and tried his best to split a dark creature into two halves.

Chu Mengmeng's tears burst out. She shook her head desperately, refusing to leave Xiao Yichen behind and escape alone.

At this moment, a huge dark creature came out from the depths of the cave. It had a body as big as a hill, sharp fangs sticking out of its mouth, and a pair of blood-red eyes emitting a chilling light.

The other dark creatures stepped aside to make way for the giant monster.

"Oh no, it's the Dark Lord..." Xiao Yichen's face turned pale instantly when he saw this huge monster.

He protected Chu Mengmeng behind him, and said in a low and firm voice: "Mengmeng, I will block it for a while, you find a chance to escape..."

Before he could finish his words, the Dark Lord suddenly let out a deafening roar, and the entire cave began to shake violently.

Chu Mengmeng felt a black screen before her eyes and she lost consciousness...
