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

A foul smell filled the air, and the stone chamber was shaking more and more violently, as if it might collapse at any time. Beads of sweat oozed from Chu Mengmeng's forehead, but she did not dare to be distracted at all, and concentrated on trying to unlock the seal.

"Roar!" With a deafening roar, a huge monster squeezed out from the crack. It was covered with spikes, and its pair of scarlet eyes stared at Chu Mengmeng, as if it wanted to eat her alive.

"Mengmeng, be careful!" Xiao Yichen flashed and stood in front of Chu Mengmeng. He swung the long sword in his hand and released a sharp sword energy, forcing the monster back.

"It seems like these monsters are endless!" Lin Wan'er waved a whip and lashed out a monster that tried to launch a sneak attack, with a hint of fatigue in her tone.

"There are too many of them, and..." Su Mubai's face was solemn, "Have you noticed that the attacks of these monsters are becoming more and more organized, not like unconscious beasts."

Xiao Yichen also noticed this. While resisting the monsters' attacks, he carefully observed their actions. Sure enough, although these monsters seemed crazy, their target of attack was always Chu Mengmeng, and there was a hint of strange coordination between their actions.

"Is there someone controlling them?" Chu Mengmeng was shocked. She looked up into the depths of the stone chamber. There seemed to be a powerful aura hidden there that made her feel palpitating.

At this moment, the altar in the center of the stone chamber suddenly burst into a dazzling light, and a figure in a black robe slowly walked out of the light. He was wearing a hideous mask, so his face could not be seen clearly, but the powerful aura emanating from him made people shudder.

"Who dares to disturb my sleep!" The black-robed man's voice was low, as if it came from the abyss of hell, with a suffocating sense of oppression.

"Who are you?" Xiao Yichen protected Chu Mengmeng behind him and asked vigilantly.

"I am the master of this relic, and I am also the future master of this world!" The black-robed man laughed arrogantly, "You ants, how dare you break into my territory and disturb my plan? You must die!"

"What's your plan?" Chu Mengmeng's heart sank, and an ominous premonition came to her mind, "What do you want to do?"

"I will use the power of this relic to reshape this world and put everything under my control!" The black-robed man's eyes flashed with madness, "And you will become part of my power!"

As soon as the words fell, the black-robed man flashed and turned into a black shadow, attacking Chu Mengmeng, Xiao Yichen and others. His speed was so fast that it was astonishing, and his powerful aura seemed to tear the space apart.

A war is about to break out...

The black-robed man was as fast as a ghost, and in the blink of an eye he was in front of Chu Mengmeng, with his five fingers forming claws, grabbing her throat with a frightening energy wave. Xiao Yichen reacted very quickly, and the long sword in his hand swung out a sword flower, and the sharp sword energy rushed straight to the black-robed man's face.

"A mere trifle!" The man in black robe snorted coldly, and with a casual wave of his other hand, he defeated Xiao Yichen's sword energy, without reducing his offensive at all.

"Mengmeng, be careful!" Xiao Yichen was horrified. He had never seen such a powerful enemy. Just one move could show the huge gap in strength between the two sides.

At the critical moment, Chu Mengmeng dodged the attack of the man in black robes. The spiritual power in her hands surged, condensing into a light shield to block the next attack of the man in black robes.

"You have some skills, but that's all!" When the black-robed man saw that his first attack failed, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, and then he sneered and increased his offensive.

Chu Mengmeng and Xiao Yichen joined forces to fight the enemy, but they were still defeated. The black-robed man's strength was unfathomable, like an insurmountable mountain, pressing them so hard that they couldn't breathe.

On the other side, Su Mubai and Lin Wan'er were also fighting hard with those controlled monsters. Although these monsters were not as powerful as the black-robed people, they were numerous and fearless, which brought great pressure to the two.

"Damn it, why can't we kill all these monsters!" Lin Wan'er waved a whip and blew a monster away, but soon more monsters pounced on it.

"These monsters are controlled. As long as we find the controller, we can solve the problem." While resisting the monsters' attacks, Su Mubai observed his surroundings, trying to find the location of the controller.

However, before he could find the controller, he felt a sharp pain in his back. A monster took advantage of his unpreparedness and scratched his back severely.

"Brother Su!" Lin Wan'er exclaimed and hurried forward to help, but was entangled by another monster.

Su Mubai endured the severe pain and swung his sword to kill the sneak attacking monster, but his physical strength had been exhausted and his movements became slow.

At this moment, the ancient ruins guardian who had been guarding the altar suddenly roared and turned to attack Su Mubai.

"What's going on?" Lin Wan'er was shocked and didn't understand why the guardian suddenly attacked them.

“Hahaha, you stupid humans, do you think I will really believe you?” The voice of the man in black robe came from the direction of the altar, “I have already controlled this guardian, just prepare to die!”

"Oh no!" Su Mubai's face turned pale. He knew that they had no chance of winning against the controlled guardian.

"Mengmeng, let's go!" Seeing that the situation was not good, Xiao Yichen made a prompt decision and pulled Chu Mengmeng to break out.

"Want to leave? Not that easy!" The man in black robe snorted coldly, and a black shadow flashed by, blocking their way.

Chu Mengmeng and Xiao Yichen were attacked from both sides by the black-robed man and the controlled guardian. The situation was extremely critical... Chu Mengmeng and Xiao Yichen stood back to back, staring at the enemies surrounding them. The black-robed man exuded a suffocating sense of oppression, and the controlled guardian was like a killing machine that had lost its mind, with a fierce light flashing in its eyes.

"It seems like there's no way out today." Chu Mengmeng said in a low voice with a wry smile, but her tone revealed a spirit of not admitting defeat.

"Don't give up yet, we still have a chance." Xiao Yichen calmly observed the surroundings, trying to find a glimmer of hope for escape. "Mengmeng, let's retreat first, conserve our strength, and then find a way to deal with them."

Chu Mengmeng nodded, and the two of them moved to the back in tacit understanding, looking for an opportunity to break out. The man in black robes did not seem to be in a hurry to attack, but just looked at them coldly, with a playful smile on his face, as if he was admiring the dying struggle of his prey.

At this moment, Xiao Yichen saw something unusual on the wall from the corner of his eye. He quickly dodged to the side of the wall with Chu Mengmeng and carefully observed the abnormality.

"What's wrong?" Chu Mengmeng asked in a low voice.

Xiao Yichen did not answer, but stretched out his finger and gently touched a raised stone brick on the wall. As his finger pressed, the stone brick slowly sank, making a slight mechanical sound. Then, a crack appeared on the wall, and the crack became larger and larger, eventually forming an entrance large enough for one person to pass through.

"This is..." Chu Mengmeng covered her mouth in surprise, with a gleam of surprise in her eyes.

"There's no time to explain, let's go in!" Xiao Yichen decisively pulled Chu Mengmeng into the secret room, and after entering, he quickly triggered the mechanism to seal the entrance again.

The secret room was pitch black, and Chu Mengmeng felt around the wall, trying to find a light source. Suddenly, her fingers touched a cold metal object, and with a light press, a faint light lit up on the top of the secret room, illuminating the entire space.

This was a not very large stone room, with ancient runes carved on the walls, emitting a faint spiritual fluctuation. In the center of the stone room stood a stone table, on which lay an old book and an exquisite wooden box.

"Could this be..." Chu Mengmeng seemed to realize something, her eyes full of anticipation.

However, before she could finish, there was a loud noise outside the secret room, followed by the angry roar of the man in black robe: "Do you think you can be safe if you hide? Tear down this place and find them out!"

Chu Mengmeng and Xiao Yichen's faces changed. They knew that the enemy had caught up with them.

"It seems we don't have time." Xiao Yichen took a deep breath, walked quickly to the stone table, picked up the ancient book, and started flipping through it.

"I hope we can find a way to deal with them here." Chu Mengmeng also walked to the wooden box and opened it carefully...
