Me? I was transported into a book? And I became a vicious villain?
Chapter 328: The Journey
The dazzling red light exploded in the darkness, like a blooming flower of death, reflecting the shocked faces of Chu Mengmeng and Xiao Yichen. Heishui Village was a remote village on the edge of the misty forest. How could it be suddenly attacked?
"How many enemies are there? Who are they?" Xiao Yichen quickly calmed down and asked in a deep voice.
"Reporting to Mr. Xiao, the specific situation is unknown, but the signal flare was fired by the village chief of Blackwater Village himself. According to the intelligence we learned before, the attacker is likely to be..." Xiao Wu said here, his tone became hesitant, "It's a dark wizard!"
"Dark wizard?!" Chu Mengmeng exclaimed, her pretty face instantly turned pale. Dark wizards are an extremely dangerous existence in the era of reverse evolution. They possess twisted evolutionary power, are cruel and bloodthirsty, and do all kinds of evil.
Xiao Yichen held Chu Mengmeng's hand and gave her a reassuring look, "Mengmeng, don't worry, we will handle it." He turned around, his eyes were sharp, and he glanced at everyone present, and said loudly: "Warriors of 'Chenxi', the time to test us has come! Now, assemble the team immediately and prepare to set off!"
"Yes!" everyone answered in unison, their voices full of firmness and determination.
In less than half an hour, a team of more than 20 people was assembled. They were all agile and had sharp eyes, and each of them exuded a murderous aura.
"This mission is very dangerous. The power of the black wizards should not be underestimated, and we know very little about their situation." Before leaving, Xiao Yichen said to everyone with a serious look, "However, the villagers of Blackwater Village are in dire straits. We can't just sit back and watch! Remember, our goal is to save people!"
"understand!"
"set off!"
Under the cover of night, a team quietly left the base and rushed towards the direction of the misty forest. Chu Mengmeng held the sleeping Ling'er in her arms, looking forward with a firm gaze, and prayed silently in her heart: I hope everything goes well...
The journey to Blackwater Village was not peaceful. The rugged mountain roads, dense jungles, and unknown dangers lurking in the dark all posed great challenges to their actions.
"There seems to be someone ahead!" When the team was marching into a dense forest, the scout in front suddenly sounded the alarm... As soon as the scout finished speaking, the team immediately went on alert. Not far ahead, several black shadows were seen swaying among the trees, making rustling sounds.
"What is that?" someone in the team asked in a low voice.
"Shh!" Xiao Yichen made a gesture for silence, signaling everyone to keep quiet, and then signaled the scout to go forward and check.
The scout approached the shadow cautiously, pushed aside the dense branches and leaves, and saw the "enemy" hidden in it - several huge wild boars, busy digging up wild fruits on the ground.
Everyone couldn't help laughing when they saw this, and the tense atmosphere instantly disappeared. Chu Mengmeng smiled and shook her head, it seemed that she was too nervous. In this remote place, the slightest disturbance would make her nervous.
"It's okay, they're just a few wild boars. Let's keep moving forward." Xiao Yichen said in a low voice, and the team continued to move forward cautiously.
However, this was just a small episode in their journey. As the team got closer and closer to Blackwater Village, they encountered more and more troubles.
In a narrow valley, they encountered a mudslide. The cascading mudslide was like a roaring beast, instantly submerging the road. Fortunately, Chu Mengmeng reacted quickly and used her golden finger, a magical space that could control plants, to quickly produce a dense vine, firmly fixing the team on the cliff, thus avoiding the fate of being washed away by the mudslide.
In another dense forest, they were ambushed by giant spiders. These spiders were huge, agile, and spewed sticky spider silk from their mouths, making it difficult to defend against them. Just as everyone was in a tough fight, Chu Mengmeng had an idea and took out a bag of chili powder from her backpack and sprinkled it on the spiders.
The pungent chili powder immediately filled the air, and the giant spiders were choked and unable to open their eyes. They retreated one after another, and the team was able to escape danger.
"Mengmeng, how do you know that chili powder is effective against spiders?" Xiao Yichen asked curiously while cleaning the spider silk off his body.
"I've read in a book before that spiders are very sensitive to pungent smells, especially chili powder." Chu Mengmeng explained with a smile, "I didn't expect it to come in handy."
Along the way, relying on the cooperation of the team and Chu Mengmeng's wisdom, they overcame various difficulties and finally arrived at Heishui Village in the early morning of the next day.
However, the scene before them made them feel depressed. The originally peaceful and tranquil village was now shrouded in a strange silence. At the entrance of the village, several bodies of villagers were lying in a mess, with expressions of fear and pain on their faces, as if they had suffered unimaginable torture in the last moments of their lives.
"Be careful!" Xiao Yichen warned in a low voice, an ominous premonition coming to his mind.
They walked into the village cautiously and found that a large number of villagers had gathered in the central square of the village. However, these villagers all had dull expressions and empty eyes, like walking corpses.
In the center of the square, a figure wearing a black robe and holding a bone staff slowly turned around. He had a strange smile on his face and glanced at everyone with a cold gaze.
"Welcome to my territory, warriors of 'Dawn'." The dark wizard's voice was hoarse and low, like a call from hell.
"What did you do to these villagers?!" Xiao Yichen asked angrily.
"I just gave them a new life and made them my loyal servants." The dark wizard laughed arrogantly, "Soon, the whole world will surrender to me!"
"Dream on!" Xiao Yichen roared, drew out his sword and pointed it at the dark wizard, "Today, we will let you know the power of 'Dawn'!"
Chu Mengmeng gently placed Ling'er on the ground and whispered a few words in her ear. Ling'er nodded, and a faint golden light flashed in her little hand... Ling'er's little face was full of determination. She muttered something, and the golden light gathered into a ball of light in her hand, which quickly flew into the sky, turned into stars, and fell down. Bathed in the starlight, the "Morning Light" members felt a warm current flowing into their bodies, and their fatigue was swept away, and their sense of strength doubled.
"Kill!" Xiao Yichen rushed towards the black wizard first, the sword light dancing like a silver snake, directly approaching the black wizard's face. The black wizard snorted coldly, and the bone staff paused on the ground. A black light wall rose from the ground, blocking Xiao Yichen's attack.
Other members of "Chenxi" also joined the battle and started a fierce battle with the minions of the black wizard. Chu Mengmeng held a long whip and flexibly shuttled across the battlefield. The long whip danced like a spirit snake, whipping the enemies away one by one.
The battle was extremely fierce, with swords flashing and swords flashing in the square, magic and fighting spirit crisscrossing, and shouts of killing shaking the earth. Chu Mengmeng observed the black wizard while fighting, and she found that whenever the black wizard used large-scale dark magic, the light on his bone staff would dim a little.
"Could it be that his power comes from that staff?" Chu Mengmeng's mind moved, and she immediately shouted loudly: "Attack his staff!"
Xiao Yichen understood what he meant and seized the opportunity to force the black wizard back, while swinging a sharp sword energy at the bone staff. The other members also changed their attack targets, and various attacks fell on the bone staff like raindrops.
The dark wizard suddenly felt his power being drained away. His face changed drastically and he roared, "How dare you!" He desperately activated his staff, trying to stop Dawn's attack, but it was too late.
Under the combined attack of everyone, the bone staff wailed, and finally couldn't bear it anymore, breaking with a snap. The black wizard suddenly lost his source of power, uttered a scream, staggered back, and a trace of black blood flowed from the corner of his mouth.
"Now!" Xiao Yichen seized the opportunity, rushed forward like lightning, and pierced the dark wizard's heart with a sword.
The dark wizard widened his eyes, looking at the sword in front of his chest in disbelief, then fell to the ground powerlessly, completely losing his life.
As the dark wizard fell, the controlled villagers also woke up one after another and looked around blankly, not knowing what had happened.
"We won!" The members of "Chenxi" cheered. They supported each other, with joy on their faces after surviving the disaster.
"Mom, did we win?" Ling'er ran to Chu Mengmeng, raised her little face and asked.
"Well, we won." Chu Mengmeng smiled and touched Ling'er's head, then looked up at the villagers who had just woken up and said slowly, "Everyone, the crisis in Blackwater Village has been resolved. From now on..."
Before she could finish her words, she was interrupted by a roar like a tsunami.
“Benefactor!” An old man stepped forward tremblingly, tears streaming down his face. “Thank you for saving our Blackwater Village!”
"Thank you, benefactor!" Other villagers also knelt on the ground, their eyes full of gratitude.
"We are willing to join 'Morning Light' and fight against the evil forces together with you!"
Chu Mengmeng looked at the villagers kneeling down in front of her, feeling mixed emotions. She had come here to watch the show, but she accidentally became a hero who saved the world.
"Everyone, please stand up quickly," Chu Mengmeng helped the old man beside her up and said softly, "Everyone has the responsibility to fight against evil forces. Chenxi welcomes all people with justice to join. However..." She paused and her expression became serious. "The purpose of Chenxi is to protect light, punish evil and promote good. Joining us means giving up your current comfort and being ready to face danger at any time, or even sacrifice your life."
There was a commotion among the crowd, and many people looked hesitant.
"I'm willing to join!" A young voice sounded, and a sturdy young man stood up with a firm look in his eyes. "My name is Tie Niu. I have wanted to be a warrior since I was a child to protect my family and friends. 'Chenxi' has given me this opportunity, and I am willing to give everything for it!"
"And me!" "I'm willing too!" Tie Niu's words seemed to ignite the fire of courage in people's hearts. More and more villagers stood up and expressed their determination to join "Chenxi".
Xiao Yichen looked at the excited scene in front of him, and a gratified smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. He knew that this was just the beginning, and the road of "Chenxi" was still long, but they had taken a solid first step.
"Very good!" Xiao Yichen said loudly, "From today on, we are comrades fighting side by side, fighting together to protect the light!"
"For the light!" The villagers shouted in unison, their voices shaking the earth and echoing in the sky above Heishui Village for a long time.
***
Night falls and the stars are shining.
In the square of Heishui Village, a bonfire was burning, and the villagers were singing and dancing to celebrate the hard-won victory. Chu Mengmeng and Xiao Yichen were surrounded by the crowd, accepting everyone's toasts and blessings.
"Mengmeng, look, 'Chenxi' is developing better and better. I believe that one day, we will completely eliminate the dark forces and bring light to this world!" Xiao Yichen raised his glass, with hope flashing in his eyes.
"Yeah," Chu Mengmeng nodded with a smile, but she felt a little uneasy in her heart. She always felt that things would not go so smoothly, and greater challenges were waiting for them.
Suddenly, a burst of rapid horse hoofbeats broke the silence of the night. A bloody member of the "Dawn" stumbled into the square and shouted anxiously: "Oh no, Captain, something happened!"
Xiao Yichen's face changed, and he immediately stepped forward to support the member, and asked anxiously: "What happened? Tell me slowly!"
"We...we found a secret base where many kidnapped girls were held. Among them...one of them was..." the member gasped and spoke intermittently, "It was...it was Princess Elena!"
"What?!" Chu Mengmeng and Xiao Yichen's faces changed drastically when they heard this.
