Quick Transmigration: I'm the Villain's Assistant to the Protagonist

Shen Ying slowly opened her eyes, her gaze resolute. She gritted her teeth, stretched out her hands, and pressed them tightly against one side of the stone coffin lid. After taking a deep breath, she used all her strength to push it away forcefully.

But the lid of the stone coffin remained completely still, like a majestic mountain rooted deep in the earth, as stable as a rock no matter how hard she tried.

Shen Ying frowned, straightened up and stretched her limbs, took out a potion that could increase strength from her spatial storage, and gulped it down.

She adjusted her breathing, and once again exerted force with both hands, pushing hard against the lid of the stone coffin. However, the second attempt also ended in failure; the lid remained as stable as Mount Tai, quietly staying in place.

Shen Ying's stubbornness kicked in, and she tried various methods, changing the angle of her push and adjusting the position of her force. She tried several times, and her forehead was covered with large beads of sweat that slid down her cheeks and soaked her clothes.

But the coffin lid seemed to be sealed stubbornly, and it did not move an inch.

Seeing this, Shen Ying took out some helpful items from her spatial storage again, including a power bracelet that could enhance strength and an item that could reduce gravity.

Even so, she still couldn't push open the stubborn stone coffin. She could only stand in front of it, panting heavily, her face full of helplessness and resentment, looking at it with deep worry.

Shen Ying stared intently at the stone coffin in front of her, her brows furrowed slightly, and she remained silent for a long while.

Suddenly, a thought struck her, and she remembered a scene from a TV series she had watched before.

The protagonist is being chased and falls off a cliff. After escaping death, he enters a cave by chance. Deep in the cave, he sees a nameless skeleton sitting quietly.

With reverence for the deceased, the protagonist knelt down respectfully without saying a word and kowtowed several times to the skeleton.

As a result of this respectful act, a wisp of soul residing in the bones was awakened, and the protagonist then received the inheritance of unparalleled martial arts from the soul, thus beginning his journey to defy fate.

Shen Ying looked at the stone coffin thoughtfully, wondering if she should follow the example of what was done in the TV series.

Perhaps the owner of the stone coffin felt that his sincerity was not enough, so he deliberately left the stone coffin motionless to make things difficult for himself.

After thinking it over, Shen Ying felt that compared to her life, kneeling was nothing to lose. Without hesitation, she bent her knees and knelt down in the direction of the stone coffin.

The moment her knees touched the ground, a loud "bang" suddenly exploded.

The stone coffin lid was suddenly pushed open by a force, flying out with a whooshing sound and crashing heavily to the ground with a dull thud.

The impact of the coffin lid hitting the ground caused the tomb chamber to tremble slightly, and dust fell from the walls.

At the same time, a figure, accompanied by bursts of wails, suddenly sprang out of the stone coffin like a bolt of lightning.

Startled by this sudden turn of events, Shen Ying's heart skipped a beat, and her body reflexively took several steps back.

A giant axe, gleaming with cold light, instantly appeared in her hand; the blade, illuminated by the luminous pearl, emitted a chilling glow.

Her eyes widened as she stared intently at the figure that had just emerged from the stone coffin, her gaze filled with vigilance and wariness.

With feet apart and a slight squat, he held his giant axe horizontally in front of him, assuming a defensive stance.

When Shen Ying finally saw the sudden situation before her, her eyes instantly revealed an undisguised astonishment.

An old man with white hair and beard was seen hopping around in front of them in a flustered manner, looking like a cat whose tail had been stepped on.

His hands, like frantically flapping birds, kept slapping the blazing blue flames on his buttocks, while he kept crying out "Ouch, ouch!" in pain and embarrassment.

After a flurry of activity, the old man finally managed to extinguish the fire on his buttocks. He turned to look at his backside, where his clothes were charred black.

He frowned, stretched out a finger, and gently poked the damaged area, muttering something under his breath.

Suddenly, as if remembering something, he abruptly raised his head and looked in Shen Ying's direction. His body stiffened instantly, and the muscles on his face twitched.

However, he quickly composed himself, coughed a few times to try and cover up his embarrassment, and then said, "Ahem, since you are so sincere in asking for the treasure, take it."

No sooner had she finished speaking than a jade pendant, entirely emerald green, appeared before Shen Ying without warning.

The jade pendant gleamed with a warm luster in the dim light of the tomb, as if it possessed its own life.

Shen Ying instinctively reached out and caught it steadily.

The jade pendant felt warm and cool to the touch, and a strange sensation spread throughout the body from the fingertips.

Shen Ying's eyes lit up with surprise and delight. She was secretly pleased with herself, thinking that it was exactly as she had imagined. She was so smart; those TV dramas really hadn't been a waste of time.

Shen Ying raised her head and looked at the old man. Just as she was about to express her gratitude, she saw the old man's figure suddenly become illusory without warning, like a gradually fading ink painting, and then disappear in the blink of an eye.

As Shen Ying stared blankly at the spot where the old man had disappeared, her wristwatch suddenly emitted a crisp notification sound.

"Dear player, congratulations on successfully completing this round of the game!" The synthesized electronic voice sounded exceptionally clear in the silent tomb chamber.

At the same time, a blinding light burst forth in the center of the tomb chamber, and within the light, a teleportation portal slowly emerged.

After resting, Shen Ying entered the dungeon again.

Shen Ying stood on the eerie deck of the ghost ship, a chill running from her feet straight up to her heart.

The air around her carried the scent of death, pressing heavily on her.

The ghostly pirates swarmed in from all directions like phantoms, wielding gleaming blades. They silently passed through railings, barrels, and other solid objects, closing in like messengers of death.

Shen Ying's heart raced. She gripped the giant axe tightly, her palms sweating and her fingers turning white from the force.

Her eyes were filled with vigilance as she stared intently at the approaching ghost pirate.

Cold sweat kept seeping from her forehead, sliding down her cheeks, some of it flowing into her eyes, stinging painfully, but she dared not blink, fearing that a moment of carelessness would cost her her life.

Her body trembled slightly uncontrollably. Although Shen Ying had experienced almost everything she had ever feared since coming to this world, she was still uncontrollably afraid of these ghosts!

Despite her inner turmoil, she fought on relentlessly, constantly turning rapidly, swinging her giant axe with each turn, trying to defend against attacks from all directions.

A ghostly pirate suddenly charged from the side. Shen Ying dodged to the side and quickly took out a talisman she had bought from the store from her spatial storage, attaching it to the giant axe.

The giant axe shone brightly for a moment. Seizing the opportunity, she swung it fiercely at the ghost pirate. Sparks flew where the axe blade passed, and the ghost pirate was forced back a few steps by the blow imbued with the power of the runes.

Before she could catch her breath, two more ghost pirates attacked from behind. Shen Ying instinctively lunged forward, rolled on the deck, and quickly got up. She turned around and swung her axe at the nearest ghost pirate. The talismanic power on her giant axe made a sizzling sound when it came into contact with the ghost pirate.

Just then, another pirate's blade came slashing toward her shoulder. She quickly used her giant axe to block it, and the huge impact made her arm go numb.
