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

Everyone, look at me, and I'll look at you.

At this moment, Hela said, "Hmph, even without your help, we can find it ourselves." Hela had great confidence in her tracking magic.

"Hmm? With your underwater wizards' tracking magic alone? Absolutely not! That kind of magic has no effect in this valley. Try it yourself if you don't believe me." The little elf flew to Hela, circled around, and then returned to its original spot.

"How could this be! I'll show you the power of us underwater wizards right now!" Hela was particularly unconvinced by the little elf's denial.

As a result, after several attempts, Hela had to admit that what the fairy said was true.

Eager to break the spell on her lover, the mermaid princess Hylia quickly said, "As long as the request isn't too unreasonable, we can consider it."

The little elf blinked: "Don't worry, it won't be difficult. I just want you to help me get rid of the bad octopus that keeps bullying me."

Hela pouted: "Isn't that difficult? That octopus must be tough to deal with."

The little sprite quickly said, "That octopus is powerful, but there are many of you, and you're all strong, so you'll definitely succeed. And as a reward, I'll not only lead you to the Spirit Dream Grass, but I'll also give you a mysterious treasure."

The little sea turtle, Shen Ying, asked curiously, "What kind of treasure is it?"

The little elf could understand what the little sea turtle Shen Ying was saying, so it came to her and said, "You'll know once you get the treasure, as long as you drive away that annoying octopus."

After the little elf finished speaking, everyone fell into a brief silence.

The mermaid prince didn't believe the deep-sea sprites would do anything to harm them. After all, in the general perception of mermaids, deep-sea sprites were always friendly and upright. There had never been any rumors of them harming other marine life; in fact, many marine creatures in trouble had been helped by them.

After a moment's thought, the mermaid prince broke the silence. He said calmly and gently, "Let's go. You lead the way." The others followed without any objection.

The little elves cheered excitedly, "Ah! Great! Come with me!"

Led by the little fairy, the mermaid prince and his companions swam quickly towards the octopus's location. Xu Xiaozhu, who had been trying her best to keep a low profile since their appearance, silently followed closely behind.

Throughout the journey, everyone remained on edge and highly vigilant.

Hela glanced sideways at Xu Xiaozhu, who silently followed behind them. This woman was stunningly beautiful. Not to mention others, even Hela, who was always arrogant and extremely picky, couldn't help but frequently look at Xu Xiaozhu, and a feeling of affection involuntarily arose in her heart.

Hela glanced with slight worry in the direction of the mermaid prince, and was pleasantly surprised to find that his gaze was firm and unwavering. Unlike the other guards, who, despite maintaining a serious expression and vigilance towards their surroundings, couldn't help but frequently glance at the beautiful mermaid who had suddenly appeared.

Ah~ Her mermaid prince is truly extraordinary. *Sob*~ His gaze towards the little sea turtle is so gentle! Look at that doting look, enough to drown a person in it! He truly is an incredibly kind person, so protective of even small animals! Hela is already mentally calculating the possibility of transforming into a little sea turtle to get close to the mermaid prince afterwards.

Before long, they arrived at the entrance of a deep cave. The little elf pointed to the cave and said, "The octopus is inside."

"Be good, stay outside and don't run around," the mermaid prince instructed the little sea turtle Shen Ying.

Seeing the little sea turtle Shen Ying nod, the mermaid prince gripped his crystal sword and took the lead into the cave.

Xu Xiaozhu, who had little fighting ability, also consciously stayed outside the cave.

A foul odor filled the cave, and eerie lights flickered on the surrounding stone walls. Suddenly, a giant octopus extended its tentacles and lunged at them.

"Watch out!" Hela shouted.

The guards quickly raised their shields to defend against the octopus's attack. Taking advantage of the moment, the mermaid prince swung his sword at the octopus's tentacles, shouting, "Everyone, attack together! Protect yourselves!"

Hela also cast a spell, shooting beams of light at the octopus, and roared, "Let me show you what I'm capable of!"

The octopus was enraged; it frantically waved more tentacles and spewed black ink from its mouth.

"Ah, my eyes!" Huo Yuan cried out as he stumbled around in the ink, crashing headfirst into a stone wall and losing consciousness.

Princess Hylia, the mermaid, anxiously and with heartache, helped him up, crying out, "Huo Yuan, how are you?! Wake up! Waaah~"

Hearing the commotion inside the cave, Shen Ying, the little sea turtle, felt a pang of worry. Although she remembered the mermaid prince's instructions, she was genuinely concerned.

She thought, "I just need to stay at the entrance and take a quick look! There won't be any danger!" So she quietly swam to the edge of the cave and stretched her turtle neck to peer into the cave.

Xu Xiaozhu saw the little sea turtle Shen Ying slowly swimming towards the cave entrance, but she didn't stop her. Anyway, she only needed to focus on the mermaid prince, and she didn't need to worry about the little sea turtle.

As the little sea turtle Shen Ying approached the edge of the cave entrance, before she could even get a good look at what was inside, a fleshy tentacle suddenly lunged at her like lightning. In the blink of an eye, it wrapped around the little sea turtle's body, enveloping her completely! Then it began to shake her wildly, making Shen Ying dizzy and disoriented.

"Oh dear, my shell is about to be flung off!" Little sea turtle Shen Ying cried out in her heart.

At that moment, she was filled with surprise, fear, and a strange feeling: "This feels so much like one of those crazy pendulum rides at an amusement park, but this is a ten-times stronger version! It's so thrilling! Oh my, so many little stars!"

Aside from the Mermaid Prince, no one else noticed what had happened to the little sea turtle, Shen Ying. Although the battle was chaotic and disorganized, the Mermaid Prince handled everything with ease and composure. He was constantly aware of his surroundings and naturally spotted the small green figure at the cave entrance immediately. However, just as a sense of foreboding crept into his heart, he saw the figure being pulled away by the octopus's tentacles.

He was frantic and charged at the octopus, only to have his feet entangled by its tentacles. He swung his sword and cut one off, but another tentacle immediately attacked. Because he had been the primary target of the octopus's attacks, he was the one being attacked by the most tentacles. For a time, he found himself unable to escape.

Seeing the mermaid prince entangled, Hela abruptly increased the output of her magic, shouting angrily, "You wretched octopus, let him go!" However, her magic was easily deflected by the persistent octopus, striking a rock squarely. Miraculously, the rock instantly transformed into a dancing crab, gesturing and waving its arms gleefully nearby.

Hela was stunned by this sudden turn of events, her face filled with disbelief: "What happened? I clearly cast an attack spell, how did it turn into a transformation spell?" She frowned, looking thoughtfully at the octopus, thinking to herself: This is definitely not an ordinary octopus; that wretched little sprite must have been hiding something, not explaining things clearly!
