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

The two sat down quietly at the eerie bow of the ghost ship.

All around was the vast sea, and the fog, like a thick curtain, shrouded the world in chaos, blurring everything in sight.

Suddenly, a suffocating, eerie atmosphere swept over us like a surging tide.

The enormous and ethereal figure of the Ghost Pirate Leader slowly emerged from the depths of the mist.

The moment it appeared, a chill spread, the air seemed to freeze, and the icy coldness was like a steel needle piercing straight to the bone, causing the surrounding temperature to drop sharply.

Shen Ying couldn't help but shiver and subconsciously moved closer to Zhang Wei.

When the leader's empty eyes looked at Zhang Wei, a very subtle and strange expression flashed across them, which seemed to be surprise, fear, and a complex emotion that was hard to describe.

But this strange phenomenon was fleeting. Immediately afterwards, it carried endless resentment and transformed into a black lightning bolt, rushing towards the two of them.

"Watch out!" Zhang Wei shouted, quickly getting up and drawing his sword.

Shen Ying gripped the heavy giant axe tightly, standing shoulder to shoulder with Zhang Wei, a hint of tension flashing in her eyes, the giant axe trembling slightly in her hand.

"Clang!" The sound of weapons clashing exploded in the silent sky above the ghost ship.

Zhang Wei's eyes were focused, and his sword flashed like the wind, accurately blocking the pirate leader's attacks. While fighting, he shouted to Shen Ying, "Find an opportunity to attack its weakness, and I'll hold it off!"

Shen Ying nodded, her gaze fixed on the pirate leader.

However, the pirate leader's attacks became increasingly fierce, and Shen Ying struggled to wield the giant axe. Her movements were slow, and each swing required a great deal of physical strength.

She staggered, the giant axe swaying in her hand.

Seeing this, Zhang Wei suddenly exerted his strength, forcing back the pirate leader with several sharp sword moves. He then turned to Shen Ying and shouted, "How are you? Don't push yourself, hide behind me first!"

Shen Ying gritted her teeth: "I'm fine, let's go together!"

She regained her footing, gripped the giant axe tightly with both hands, and charged forward again with a shout.

Sweat dripped from Shen Ying's forehead, soaking her clothes.

Zhang Wei's weapon transformed into deadly light and shadow, intertwining with the ghost pirate leader's attacks and colliding to create intense sparks.

During the battle, Zhang Wei shouted at Shen Ying, "Now!"

Shen Ying understood, and with all her might, she raised the giant axe high and slashed fiercely at the pirate leader's vitals. The giant axe cut through the air with a whooshing sound.

Zhang Wei also exerted his strength at the same time, and the two of them together delivered a fatal blow to the pirate leader.

The pirate leader let out a shrill scream as his massive body gradually dissipated.

The two breathed a sigh of relief and collapsed to the ground.

Shen Ying looked at Zhang Wei, her eyes full of admiration: "Thanks to you this time, you're amazing!"

Zhang Wei smiled slightly: "You're great too."

At this moment, the surrounding mist began to dissipate, and a ray of sunlight shone on them.

Shen Ying received a notification that she had cleared the level, and at the same time, a portal quietly appeared, emitting a dazzling light.

At Zhang Wei's signal, Shen Ying nodded and stepped into the portal first.

The moment she stepped in, she thought: Will I meet Zhang Wei again in the next dungeon? It feels so good to be carried by a pro.

After the break, Shen Ying stepped into the dungeon again. The surrounding light was dim, and there was a faint chill in the air.

She immediately saw Zhang Wei standing in front of her, smiling gently at her.

Shen Ying was somewhat surprised, a hint of doubt flashing in her eyes, and asked softly, "What a coincidence, you're in this instance too?" Why does it feel like the other person was waiting for her?

Zhang Wei smiled gently and replied, "Yes, I've been waiting for you. In a previous instance, I accidentally bound a special item that allows me to designate a player, enabling both of us to enter the same instance."

"However, I didn't have time to discuss this with you beforehand, and I took it upon myself to bind you to this matter. I'm really sorry." After saying this, Zhang Wei's face was full of sincere apology, and there was a hint of unease in his eyes, as if he was afraid that Shen Ying would be angry because of this.

Upon hearing Zhang Wei's explanation, Shen Ying initially looked enlightened, but soon a layer of doubt appeared on her face, and she couldn't help but ask, "I see. But why did you choose me?"

Zhang Wei smiled gently: "I like being with you. We also cooperated quite well in battle."

The battle scene flashed through Shen Ying's mind; their teamwork was indeed excellent.

After a moment's thought, the doubts in my heart dissipated, and I smiled as I accepted the explanation.

"What is your mission this time?" Zhang Wei asked softly.

"You helped the elemental spirits stabilize the volcanic cave environment, what about you?" Shen Ying asked in return.

"It seems we have the same mission." Zhang Wei's lips curled into a smile.

The two decided to find the elemental spirits first.

"Be careful, don't stray too far from me!" Zhang Wei said in a low voice.

As he walked, he subtly observed his surroundings, glancing back at Shen Ying every few steps to see if she was keeping up.

After walking for a while, the two came to a slightly wider place, where Zhang Wei slowed down to wait for Shen Ying.

"Let's rest for a while, it's safe here for now." He said as he handed the water bag to Shen Ying, his eyes scanning the surroundings.

Shen Ying took the water pouch, tilted her head back and took a sip, a hint of surprise flashing across her face.

The water was exceptionally sweet and refreshing, like a cool mountain spring.

As the water flowed into her body, she could clearly feel a force nourishing her, and her tired body quickly regained its strength.

Her eyes lit up, and she looked at Zhang Wei with surprise: "This is also a prop you obtained?"

Zhang Wei looked at her, a gentle smile playing on his lips, and nodded softly: "Mm."

Suddenly, a muffled boom came from ahead, and the ground began to tremble.

A group of monsters appeared in sight, resembling bears and as tall as two people. Their bodies were covered with hard, black, rock-like scales, and dark red magma slowly flowed from the gaps between the scales, emitting heat that distorted and blurred the air.

The monsters' eyes burned like flames, flashing with a fierce and greedy light in the darkness, as if they wanted to devour the intruders.

Shen Ying frowned slightly, her eyes flashing with vigilance. She deftly turned to the side, holding the giant axe horizontally in front of her, assuming a defensive stance ready for battle.

Almost simultaneously, Zhang Wei stepped forward without hesitation, firmly blocking Shen Ying and protecting her behind him, exuding an aura that was not to be trifled with.

The monsters charged toward Shen Ying and Zhang Wei, gradually approaching, their roars deafening.

The enormous monster swung its claws violently, creating a scorching wave of air that crashed towards Zhang Wei.

Zhang Wei remained calm and composed, his sword flashing with a cold light as it precisely pierced the monster's raised armpit.

The monster, in pain, let out a deafening roar and frantically thrashed its body in an attempt to shake off Zhang Wei.

Shen Ying gripped the giant axe tightly with both hands and quickly approached the monster from the other side.

She aimed at the monster's leg joint, let out a loud shout, and used all her strength to chop down the giant axe.

With a "crack," the giant axe cleaved into the scales on the monster's leg. Although it did not completely sever them, it caused the monster to pause and stagger.

However, seeing this, the surrounding monsters attacked even more frantically.

A monster seized the opportunity during Zhang Wei's attack and suddenly attacked from behind.

Shen Ying reacted quickly and shouted a warning: "Watch out behind you!"

At the same time, she hurled the giant axe at the monster with all her might.

The giant axe spun and flew past, and the monster instinctively dodged.

Zhang Wei quickly turned around.

He wielded his sword swiftly, creating an impenetrable net of blades that forced back the attacking monster.

Taking advantage of a slight lull in the monster's attack, Zhang Wei darted forward to approach Shen Ying, and the two stood back to back.

The monsters swarmed in from all directions.

Zhang Wei moved with lightning speed, wielding the sword with effortless skill, constantly deflecting the monster's attacks.

Shen Ying wielded her giant axe, repelling the approaching monsters.
