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

The communication system was intermittent, and the crackling sound of electricity was mixed with terrified cries for help. Xiao Yichen held the intercom tightly, his brows furrowed. Before he could ask about the situation, a deafening explosion came from a distance, and the flames illuminated half of the night sky.

"It's the East District! They actually attacked the weakest point of our defense!" Lin Wan'er exclaimed, her tone full of worry.

"Damn it! Their goal is to destroy the city's core energy!" Xiao Yichen reacted immediately, his face becoming extremely ugly. The East District is the core area of ​​the city's energy supply. Once it is destroyed, the entire city will be paralyzed.

"Mengmeng, take the 'Sword of Light' and go to support the East District first. I will go and inform Su Mubai and the others to make sure to hold back the enemy!" Xiao Yichen made a prompt decision and handed the only remaining "Sword of Light" in his hand to Chu Mengmeng.

Chu Mengmeng took the "Sword of Light" and without any hesitation, turned around and rushed towards the fire in the night.

However, the enemy was clearly well prepared. When Chu Mengmeng and the others arrived at the East District, they found that the entire area was shrouded in a strange purple light, and the powerful energy fluctuations made the air distorted.

"What the hell is this thing?!" Lin Wan'er exclaimed, waving the whip in her hand to produce flashes of fire, but she was unable to get even a step closer to the purple area.

"Be careful! This is their newly developed energy weapon, it's extremely powerful!" A blood-soaked city guardian staggered over and shouted anxiously, "Our defense line has been breached, many brothers..."

Before he could finish his words, he was hit by a sudden beam of purple light. His whole body was instantly swallowed up in the dazzling light, and he didn't even have time to let out a scream.

“No!” Chu Mengmeng’s eyes were bloodshot, and the “Sword of Light” in her hand burst out with dazzling golden light, and she angrily slashed towards the purple area.

The golden sword light collided with the purple light beam, making a deafening explosion, and the powerful shock wave overturned everything around to the ground.

"Retreat quickly! We can't hold on here anymore!" Xiao Yichen rushed over, grabbed Chu Mengmeng, protected her behind him, and shouted anxiously.

"But..." Chu Mengmeng wanted to say something, but was forcibly pulled away by Xiao Yichen.

They fought and retreated all the way, and finally, after paying a heavy price, they retreated into the ancient ruins with their surviving companions.

The ancient ruins seemed to have some kind of mysterious power. Although those unknown enemies were powerful, they were unable to break through the defensive barrier of the ruins and could only wander outside, watching eagerly.

"What should we do now?" Lin Wan'er slumped on the ground weakly, her delicate face full of fatigue and despair.

"Don't worry, we still have a chance." Xiao Yichen comforted, but his eyes looked towards the depths of the ruins, where was their last hope.

"The ancient guardian told me that in order to completely destroy these enemies, we must find the ancient artifact hidden in the ruins."

In the center of the ancient ruins is an open square, the ground is covered with ancient bluestone slabs, which have been baptized by countless years and are still as smooth as a mirror. In the center of the square stands a towering stone tablet, which is engraved with dense ancient characters, exuding a vicissitudes and mysterious atmosphere.

An old man in a grey robe sat cross-legged under the stone tablet. He had white hair and a haggard face, but his eyes were bright and full of wisdom. He was the guardian of this ancient relic and had been guarding it for thousands of years.

"Ancient guardian, what should we do?" Xiao Yichen stepped forward and asked in a heavy tone.

The old man slowly opened his eyes, and his gaze swept across everyone, finally landing on Xiao Yichen and Chu Mengmeng, and slowly said: "Children, you are the chosen ones, shouldering the responsibility of saving the world. If you want to completely eliminate those enemies, you must find the ancient artifact hidden in the ruins."

"An ancient artifact?" Chu Mengmeng asked curiously, "What kind of artifact is it?"

"Legend has it that this artifact possesses the power to destroy the heavens and the earth. It was the ultimate weapon used by humans in ancient times to fight against the forces of darkness." The old man paused and continued, "But the place where the artifact is located is full of dangers. Only a true hero can find it."

"We are willing to look for the artifact!" Chu Mengmeng said without hesitation, with a determined light flashing in her eyes.

Xiao Yichen also nodded. He knew that this was their only hope.

The old man smiled with relief, pointed to the stone tablet, and said, "This stone tablet records the route to where the artifact is, but this road is full of dangers, so you must be extremely careful."

Chu Mengmeng and Xiao Yichen looked at each other, took a deep breath, turned and walked towards the stone tablet.

The words on the stone tablet were ancient and obscure. The two tried their best to make out only a part of them. According to the instructions on the stone tablet, they needed to go through a long underground passage to reach the place where the artifact was.

The entrance to the passage was hidden in a corner of the square, covered by a layer of light curtain. Chu Mengmeng and Xiao Yichen worked together to open the curtain, and a cold and damp breath came to their faces. The passage was pitch black, and you couldn't see your hand in front of you.

"Be careful." Xiao Yichen summoned a ball of fire to illuminate the surroundings, and stepped cautiously into the passage.

Chu Mengmeng followed closely behind, holding the "Sword of Light" tightly in her hand, her heart filled with uneasiness.

On the walls on both sides of the passage, there were dim oil lamps at intervals, barely illuminating the road ahead. The two moved forward cautiously, fearing that they would trigger any traps.

"Crack!"

Suddenly, a slight sound was heard in the silent passage, and Chu Mengmeng's feet felt empty, and she fell down instantly.

"Meng Meng!" Xiao Yichen was shocked and reached out to grab her, but he only grabbed a corner of her clothes.

"boom!"

There was a loud noise where Chu Mengmeng fell, and the ground seemed to collapse, stirring up dust all over the sky.

"Mengmeng! Where are you?" Xiao Yichen shouted anxiously, but got no response.

He was so anxious that he jumped down desperately, but found himself in a huge underground space...

Xiao Yichen stumbled to the ground, the dust cleared, and the view in front of him suddenly became clear, but he could not see Chu Mengmeng. He was extremely anxious and shouted Chu Mengmeng's name loudly, but the only response he got was an empty echo. Suddenly, there were bursts of fierce fighting sounds in the distance, mixed with the familiar shouts of Su Mubai and Lin Wan'er. Xiao Yichen's heart tightened. Mengmeng was not here, and must have been teleported to another place through other channels! He immediately ran in the direction where the sound came from.

At the same time, Su Mubai and Lin Wan'er were standing back to back, struggling to resist the enemies pouring in like a tide. They had been holding out here for several hours, their spiritual power was almost exhausted, and their bodies were covered with wounds of all sizes, but they did not dare to relax at all, because they knew that Chu Mengmeng and Xiao Yichen were still deep in the ruins, and they had to buy time for them.

"Wan'er, hold on! They must be nearby!" Su Mubai swung his sword and split an enemy in half. Blood splattered all over him, but he didn't care at all. There was only endless murderous intent in his eyes.

The long whip in Lin Wan'er's hand danced like a spirit snake, and every time she struck out, she could take the life of an enemy. But she was a girl after all, and her physical strength was eventually exhausted, and her movements gradually slowed down.

"Brother Mu Bai, I... I can't hold on any longer..." Lin Wan'er said breathlessly, her face terribly pale.

"Hold on a little longer, just a little longer!" Su Mubai suppressed the grief in his heart. He knew that now was not the time to be sad.

At this moment, a man in a black robe, exuding a cold aura, slowly walked out of the crowd. He had a hideous mask on his face, revealing only a pair of evil eyes.

"You two little kids are really tenacious." The man said sinisterly, "But your struggle is in vain. Today, you will all die here!"

Su Mubai and Lin Wan'er's hearts sank suddenly. They recognized this man. He was the leader of the remaining enemy forces and his strength was unfathomable.

"Hmph, if you want to kill us, it depends on whether you have the ability to do so!" Su Mubai knew that he could not escape death today, so he simply gave it his all and injected the last bit of his spiritual power into the sword, preparing for a final fight.

Lin Wan'er also gritted her teeth and wielded the whip vigorously, vowing to fight the enemy to the death.

On the other side of the underground space, Chu Mengmeng finally found the way to the artifact. She overcame all obstacles and finally came to the artifact. It was an ancient long sword, and the sword body emitted a dazzling golden light, as if it had the power to destroy the world.

Chu Mengmeng was delighted, knowing that she had found hope to save the world. Just as she was about to draw her sword, a familiar voice suddenly sounded in her ears.

"Meng Meng, don't!"

Chu Mengmeng turned around suddenly and saw Xiao Yichen standing behind her, covered in scars, his eyes full of anxiety and worry.

"Brother Yichen, why are you here?" Chu Mengmeng was surprised and delighted.

"There's no time to explain, we must leave here immediately!" Xiao Yichen grabbed Chu Mengmeng's hand, turned around and ran.

"But, the artifact..."

"It's too late, the enemy is already here!"

Chu Mengmeng wanted to say something else, but was forcibly pulled away by Xiao Yichen. Shortly after they left, the man in the black robe appeared in front of the artifact, with a sinister light flashing in his eyes.

"Want to leave? It's not that easy!"
