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

Before Shen Ying could recover from her shock, a tense atmosphere suddenly filled the air.

Immediately afterwards, a "sizzling" sound rang in their ears, and streaks of lightning, like sharp blades, ripped through the night sky, striking straight towards them.

"Watch out!" Zhang Wei shouted, his strong arms quickly encircling Shen Ying, lifting her up horizontally, and dodging left and right amidst the flashing lightning.

His gaze was fixed ahead, and he never stopped walking.

"Run that way!" Shen Ying shouted loudly, pointing to a patch of bushes on the left while she was in his arms.

"Hold me tight!" Zhang Wei responded as he suddenly turned around and rushed in the direction Shen Ying pointed, his arms tightly wrapped around her.

The surrounding lightning sprites bared their fangs and let out sharp cries, as bolts of lightning shot towards them like a dense rain of arrows.

The moment she got close to the seed, Shen Ying's eyes lit up. Without hesitation, she stretched out her hands, firmly grasped the seed, and with a thought, the seed disappeared into her palm and was stored in her spatial lock.

At the same time, Zhang Wei dodged a bolt of lightning to the side, and with a backhand swing, repelled several of the forward-facing sprites.

His gaze constantly shifted between Shen Ying and the surrounding dangers, remaining vigilant at all times.

"Done!" Having successfully obtained the second Starlight Seed, Shen Ying breathed a sigh of relief, and her tense body finally relaxed.

"Hurry!" Zhang Wei quickly repelled the last wave of attacking sprites, grabbed Shen Ying's hand, and ran towards safety.

They slowly walked into the area where ice and fire met. As soon as they stepped in, a scorching heat hit them, and the heat wave, carrying a burning temperature, penetrated their mouths, noses, and pores.

At the same time, a bone-chilling cold swept over me from behind, the icy chill feeling like countless tiny ice needles gently pricking my skin.

Shen Ying frowned uncomfortably.

Seeing this, Zhang Wei flipped his wrist, and two small and exquisite props appeared in his palm. He handed one of them to Shen Ying.

As Shen Ying took it, she asked in confusion, "What is this?"

Zhang Wei explained with a smile, "It's a tool that can regulate the temperature around itself."

Shen Ying's eyes lit up, and she quickly and carefully put the small prop into her pocket. Instantly, a perfectly warm current emanated from her pocket, slowly spreading through her body, and the discomfort caused by the cold and heat gradually subsided.

"Thank you, you really have a complete set of props, you have everything." Shen Ying smiled at Zhang Wei.

Zhang Wei slightly curled the corners of his lips, revealing a gentle expression, and said, "I usually like to collect these little things, I never thought they would come in handy now."

The smile appeared especially warm under the interplay of ice and fire.

With the help of the props, Shen Ying no longer felt the discomfort she had when she first entered this place.

She looked up and saw that not far ahead, the crimson magma was churning like a raging river, with huge bubbles rising from it every now and then, bursting open with a "pop" and splashing hot magma spray.

Beside the lava flow was a thick layer of solid ice, its surface shimmering with a cold light in the dim light, covered with sharp icicles like inverted blades.

Zhang Wei walked in front, and Shen Ying followed behind him.

The surrounding air seemed to be distorted by the forces of ice and fire, and visibility became somewhat blurred.

Suddenly, a sharp whistling sound came, and Shen Ying's heart tightened. Before she could react, she saw a burning fireball carrying a rolling heat wave flying straight towards them.

Shen Ying and Zhang Wei reacted quickly, narrowly dodging the menacing fireball that was hurtling towards them.

The fireball grazed past the hem of their clothes, the scorching air stinging their skin, before exploding with a roar not far away, kicking up a cloud of scalding dust.

Shen Ying had just breathed a sigh of relief, and before her nerves could fully relax, she heard a chilling "crack" sound.

Her heart tightened, and before she could react, she felt her feet slip and her whole body instantly lose its support.

It turned out that the ice layer could not withstand the intense impact of the ice and fire forces and suddenly broke.

Caught off guard, Shen Ying plummeted straight down.

At the critical moment, Zhang Wei grabbed Shen Ying's wrist, pulled her sharply, and drew her into his arms.

Immediately afterwards, he pushed off with both legs, grabbed Shen Ying, and leaped away, taking her away from that dangerous area.

Behind them, the spot where they had been standing collapsed with a loud "boom," revealing a bottomless hole.

Ice shards and dust flew up, accompanied by the roar of collapsing ice, as if the earth was roaring angrily.

Shen Ying looked at the large hole with lingering fear.

"It's alright, don't be afraid," Zhang Wei said softly, trying to comfort him.

The two continued on their journey and finally reached their destination.

Lying quietly among the crystal flowers are the "ice and fire fusion seeds," which emit a strange light that seems to be a mixture of the coolness of ice and the heat of fire.

Shen Ying and Zhang Wei quickly exchanged a glance, understanding each other perfectly.

Just as Shen Ying put the seeds into her spatial storage, the notification sound for completing the level rang out.

At the same time, a glowing portal slowly appeared before the two of them, the light shimmering gently.

Shen Ying smiled at Zhang Wei and said casually, "Then I'll go first."

Zhang Wei smiled slightly, his eyes showing a hint of gentleness, and replied, "Goodbye."

Shen Ying's figure quickly disappeared into the flowing light of the teleportation portal.

Zhang Wei stood quietly in place, his eyes fixed on the direction where Shen Ying had disappeared.

In the quiet space, Shen Ying leaned against the wall, her eyes somewhat vacant.

She stretched out her fingers and counted them one by one, muttering to herself as she calculated the time it would take her to enter this deadly game.

With each count, her brow furrowed even more deeply.

"There are only 10 days left. Am I really going to die here?" Her voice echoed in the silent space.

Suddenly, space seemed to be gripped tightly by an invisible hand, and began to distort violently.

The walls and floor seemed to have turned into flowing liquid, shimmering with an eerie light.

Shen Ying stared wide-eyed in horror. Caught off guard, a force swept towards her like a surging wave.

This force was incredibly domineering, as if it wanted to crush her, but within that domineering power, there seemed to be a strange gentleness, like a brutal yet reluctant giant who couldn't bear to hurt her.

Shen Ying felt like a leaf caught in a storm, swept up by this force, her consciousness gradually fading.

I don't know how much time passed, but the dizzying feeling finally stopped.

She struggled to open her eyes, and the sight before her stunned her.

This is a magnificent palace hall.

The dome is extremely high, as if it connects with the sky. It is inlaid with countless dazzling gems, like twinkling stars, casting a soft and mesmerizing light.

The surrounding walls are covered with huge murals, colorful and depicting ancient and mysterious stories. Every stroke seems to tell of past glories.

In the center of the hall is a huge fountain, with clear water gushing out from the exquisite sculptures, refracting a rainbow of colors under the lights.

The fountain is surrounded by a ground paved with gold bricks, so shiny that it reflects everything around it.

Supporting the dome are massive pillars, carved with intricate patterns and lifelike mythical beasts that seem ready to leap off at any moment.

Shen Ying stood there, enveloped by the luxurious and mysterious atmosphere, and was momentarily at a loss.
