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

“I’ll draw their attention, and you find an opportunity to attack them,” Zhang Wei suggested.

"Okay, be careful." Shen Ying nodded, gripping the giant axe tightly.

Zhang Wei charged into the monster horde like lightning, his sword transforming into streaks of sharp light. Wherever he went, the monsters were forced to retreat by the powerful force.

Each of his attacks was incredibly fierce, the blade slicing through the monster's hard scales, sending sparks flying.

Shen Ying closely monitored the situation, her giant axe poised to strike.

A massive monster lunged at Zhang Wei from the side amidst the chaos of battle, its gaping maw and sharp fangs dripping with nauseating saliva, its target aimed directly at Zhang Wei's neck.

As if he had eyes in the back of his head, Zhang Wei turned to the side just as the monster was about to touch him. The monster missed its target and its massive body lurched forward several steps due to inertia.

Just then, Zhang Wei's sword moved like a nimble white snake, thrusting back with a sharp, cold blade that pierced the monster's ribs with deadly precision.

The monster was struck by the fierce blow and immediately let out a sharp and painful roar.

It twisted its body frantically, trying to shake off the sharp sword attached to it.

Almost at the same moment, Shen Ying raised the heavy giant axe high with both hands, the blade gleaming with a cold luster in the dim light.

With a sharp shout, Shen Ying slashed fiercely at the monster.

The giant axe, carrying immense force and accompanied by a whooshing sound, slammed solidly into the monster.

The monster was forced back by the powerful impact, leaving deep marks on the ground beneath its feet.

With their close cooperation, the monsters fell one after another.

As the last monster crashed to the ground, Shen Ying's tense nerves instantly relaxed, and all her strength seemed to be drained away in an instant.

Her legs gave way, and she collapsed to the ground, panting heavily. Sweat poured down her forehead, soaking the ground beneath her.

Shen Ying took out the potion from her spatial storage and drank it all in one gulp.

The cool liquid flowed down his throat, and a warm current quickly spread throughout his body, and his strength slowly returned.

She calmed herself down and couldn't help but glance at Zhang Wei beside her.

Zhang Wei's breathing was steady, showing no sign of distress.

Looking at Zhang Wei, whose breathing was steady and who seemed completely unaffected, Shen Ying couldn't help but sigh in admiration: This man has amazing stamina!

After searching for a while, they finally came to a hidden corner of the cave and discovered something unusual. The air there seemed to have frozen, and there were faint energy fluctuations trembling slightly.

A palm-sized elemental spirit appeared in their sight. The spirit was radiating a red light, but the light was no longer bright. Instead, it flickered weakly, like a candle in the wind.

At this moment, it was curled up in the corner, its body trembling slightly.

The elemental spirit's sensitive senses instantly detected someone approaching. It abruptly raised its head, its eyes filled with confusion and surprise, as if asking, "Who are you? Why are you here?"

Immediately afterwards, its gaze shifted to fear and wariness, and its body instinctively shrank back, causing the light to flash violently.

"Don't be afraid!" Shen Ying quickly took a few steps forward, a friendly smile blooming on her face. Her voice was particularly loud in the small corner: "We're here to help you. We know there's something wrong with the environment of this cave, and we want to work with you to stabilize it."

Her words echoed in the air, carrying a reassuring power.

Upon hearing this, the elemental spirit's eyes rippled with surprise, widening even further. But then, like a ray of dawn breaking through the darkness, a glimmer of hope appeared in its eyes.

Seeing this, Shen Ying quickly pressed on, saying, "The energy here is out of balance, but don't worry, we have a way to help regulate it."

As if afraid it had misheard, the elemental spirit asked incredulously, "Really? You really have a way to regulate the energy imbalance?" Its tone was urgent yet tinged with doubt, revealing its inner unease.

Shen Ying and Zhang Wei exchanged a glance, and then nodded firmly at the same time.

Upon seeing this, the elemental spirit excitedly flew to the two of them. Its small body flashed quickly in the air, its eyes filled with gratitude, and its voice trembled slightly with excitement: "Thank you so much!"

He looked like a child who had struggled alone in the darkness for a long time, and was finally overwhelmed with excitement as the dawn of hope broke.

Shen Ying looked at the elemental spirit, whose light was dim and was trembling, and felt a little sorry for this cute little guy.

She instinctively reached out to stroke the poor little creature, but just as her hand was about to touch the elemental spirit, Zhang Wei grabbed her hand.

Zhang Wei's hand was warm and strong. He looked at the puzzled Shen Ying and explained gently, "Touching the spirit without its permission will hurt you."

Shen Ying was filled with gratitude for Zhang Wei's timely reminder. She nodded slightly to Zhang Wei, a hint of lingering fear in her eyes.

Just then, the little elemental spirit tilted its head, as if it could also sense Shen Ying's goodwill, and suddenly flew directly into Shen Ying's palm.

It rubbed against Shen Ying's palm like a spoiled kitten, and the soft touch melted Shen Ying's heart.

However, it seemed to be really tired, and soon it flew back to its original spot and sat down, its small body rising and falling slightly.

Then, in a corner of the cave, Shen Ying, Zhang Wei, and the elemental spirit began to discuss their specific action plan.

Zhang Wei frowned slightly, his serious gaze fixed on the depths of the cave. He said in a steady tone, "I'm responsible for finding the key energy nodes inside the cave. Those places are crucial for controlling the energy balance. I'll place the rune stones at the nodes to regulate the energy flow."

As he spoke, he flipped his wrist, and a runestone appeared out of thin air in his palm.

As soon as the rune stone appeared, it emitted a soft light, and the runes flowed faintly on the surface of the stone, as if a magical power was surging within it.

The elemental spirit stared intently at Zhang Wei, its eyes filled with a growing, thicker mist that enveloped its gaze.

As it stared intently at the creature, it seemed to sense something, and its small body suddenly tensed slightly.

At this moment, Zhang Wei's gaze inadvertently swept over it, and panic appeared in its eyes. Then, its ears twitched, and it immediately sat up straight, forcibly suppressing its flustered aura and putting on an indifferent appearance. However, its slightly trembling wings still betrayed its inner turmoil.
