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

Just as everyone breathed a sigh of relief, the heavy footsteps grew closer and closer, each step feeling like a blow to their hearts.

Everyone looked nervously in the direction from which the footsteps came, and saw a huge figure gradually appear. It was a stone giant several meters tall, its body made of hard stone, and the ground trembled with every step it took.

"How...how do we fight this?" Xu Jiayi said, her voice trembling.

Shen Ying, her heart trembling like a leaf, took a deep breath and forced herself to remain calm, saying, "Don't be afraid, there will be a way!"

Zhou Yifeng observed the stone giant's movements and said, "Its movements are somewhat slow, but we are agile and can make good use of it."

Having said that, the stone giant launched its attack. It let out a deep, furious roar, wielding its massive, mountain-like fists with a whooshing sound, crashing down on the group with the force of a mountain collapsing. The team members were terrified, screaming and scattering in all directions to avoid it.

Shen Ying tried her best to remain calm amidst the chaos, her gaze as sharp as a hawk's as she watched the stone giant's every move.

As the stone giant swung his fist again, she nimbly rolled to the side, narrowly avoiding the fatal blow.

In the brief moments between evasions, her eyes quickly scanned the stone giant's entire body, trying to find its weakness.

Shen Ying discovered that the stone giant's leg joints would be subjected to tremendous pressure each time it attacked, resulting in slight tremors and jamming.

Especially when it lifts its foot and stomps down heavily, there will be a brief gap between the stones at the joint of its leg, and the stones there are slightly darker in color than those in other parts, as if they have been worn down by repeated impacts.

Shen Ying was overjoyed, becoming even more certain that the stone giant's leg joints were the key to her breakthrough.

"Attack its leg joints!" Shen Ying shouted.

Everyone responded enthusiastically. Lin Shuang used her crossbow to shoot at the stone giant's leg, while Su Yuze controlled a small explosive device and threw it there.

The stone giant staggered as its leg was attacked, but it quickly regained its footing and launched an even more furious attack.

Shen Ying seized the opportunity, a determined glint in her eyes, and rushed forward without hesitation, gripping the entrenching tool tightly with both hands, striking the stone giant's leg joints with all her might.

The stone giant roared in pain, raising its massive foot with the force of a howling wind, intending to stomp down on Shen Ying.

At this critical moment, Zhou Yifeng, who had been keeping a close eye on Shen Ying's movements, instantly sensed the danger as if by telepathy.

Zhou Yifeng rushed over like lightning, his arm muscles tense, grabbed Shen Ying's collar, and pulled her back forcefully.

Shen Ying was suddenly pulled back by Zhou Yifeng. Their eyes met in the air, and in just a moment, they understood what the other meant.

Shen Ying steadied herself and, without pausing, raised her entrenching tool again, ready to continue the attack.

Zhou Yifeng stepped to her side to protect her, brandishing his long sword to shield Shen Ying from any possible attacks.

"Shen Ying, watch out on the left!" Zhou Yifeng shouted a warning.

Shen Ying reacted quickly, dodging the stone giant's swinging fist.

"Zhou Yifeng, attack its knees!" Shen Ying shouted.

Zhou Yifeng did as instructed, his sword flashing as he thrust it straight at the stone giant's knee.

With their seamless cooperation, the stone giant's movements began to slow down.

After a fierce battle, the stone giant still held the upper hand due to its massive size and immense strength.

Shen Ying kept weaving around the stone giant's feet, looking for an opportunity to attack. She repeatedly smashed the stone giant's leg joints with her entrenching tool, but each attack only made the stone giant tremble slightly.

Zhou Yifeng, with his agile skills, leaped onto the stone giant's leg during a gap in the stone giant's attack and stabbed his longsword into the joint. However, the stone giant suddenly shook and threw him away.

Lin Shuang kept firing crossbow bolts from a distance, trying to disrupt the stone giant's vision and create more opportunities for her teammates.

Su Yuze then used his homemade weapon to throw small bombs at the stone giant's legs, each explosion slowing the stone giant's movements slightly.

Xu Jiayi and Chen Xue anxiously cheered everyone on from the sidelines.

Shen Ying seized an opportunity, taking advantage of the stone giant's attention being drawn to Zhou Yifeng. She used all her strength to leap high into the air and deeply insert the entrenching tool into the stone giant's leg joint.

The stone giant wildly swung its fists, smashing them towards Shen Ying. Zhou Yifeng rushed over again, shoving Shen Ying aside, but was grazed by the stone giant's fist in the process.

But they did not back down and continued to launch wave after wave of attacks. Under the relentless assault, the stone giant's legs finally gave way, and huge cracks appeared.

"Everyone, give it your all!" Shen Ying shouted.

As if infused with new strength, everyone launched their final all-out attack. Lin Shuang's crossbow bolts, Su Yuze's bombs, and Shen Ying and Zhou Yifeng's close-range attacks rained down on the stone giant's legs.

Finally, with a deafening roar, the stone giant's leg snapped off completely, and its massive body crashed to the ground, raising a cloud of dust that blotted out the sky.

Exhausted, everyone collapsed to the ground, panting heavily. Their clothes were soaked with sweat, and their faces were etched with fatigue.

However, the stone giant did not give up. Despite losing its legs, it still supported itself with its hands and tried to continue attacking the group. Its eyes blazed with furious fire, and it let out a low roar.

"Everyone be careful!" Zhou Yifeng shouted, struggling to his feet.

The team members gritted their teeth and rallied again, facing the stone giant's death throes. Shen Ying gripped her entrenching tool tightly, her gaze fixed firmly on the stone giant. Lin Shuang reloaded her crossbow, preparing to deliver the final blow to the stone giant.

The stone giant crawled towards the group with all its might, leaving deep marks on the ground. Just as it was about to reach them, Su Yuze activated a powerful explosive device and threw it at the stone giant's head.

With a loud "boom," the stone giant's head was blasted to pieces, and its body finally stopped moving, collapsing heavily to the ground, unable to move any further.

At this moment, everyone finally breathed a sigh of relief, collapsed to the ground, and enjoyed this hard-won victory.

"This second level is already this difficult; who knows what awaits us on the next level?" Chen Xue said weakly.

"But as long as we are united, we will definitely get through this!" Zhou Yifeng encouraged everyone.

After successfully defeating the stone giant, everyone collapsed to the ground, panting heavily, unable to utter a word for a moment.

Shen Ying was the first to recover. She forced herself to sit up, took out a water bottle from her backpack, took a small sip to moisten her dry throat, and then handed it to Zhou Yifeng next to her.

Zhou Yifeng took the water bottle, gulped down a few mouthfuls, and said, "Everyone, don't lie down yet. Check your equipment and injuries, and replenish your strength."

The team members sprang into action. Lin Shuang discovered she was running low on crossbow bolts, while Su Yuze tended to the scrapes on his arm. Chen Xue and Xu Jiayi huddled together, comforting each other.

Shen Ying took out some dry food from her backpack and distributed it to everyone: "Eat something to conserve your energy. Who knows what awaits us next?" Everyone silently accepted the food and chewed it.

Zhou Yifeng sat on a rock, closed his eyes, adjusted his breathing, and gradually calmed his heartbeat.

He knew that this rest was crucial, not only to restore physical strength but also to stabilize everyone's mindset.

After a while, Shen Ying stood up, stretched her arms and legs, and said, "I feel a bit better. We can't stay here too long."

Zhou Yifeng opened his eyes and nodded: "Okay, everyone check again. If there are no problems, let's prepare to move on."

Everyone packed their things, and although they were still physically exhausted, their eyes showed a new determination.

They knew that the road ahead was long and there might be more dangers, but they were prepared to meet the challenges.

Led by Zhou Yifeng, they rallied their spirits and continued to slowly make their way deeper into the ancient tomb.
