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

Everyone huddled tightly behind cover, their hearts pounding, barely daring to breathe.

The buzzing sound, like rolling thunder, grew stronger and stronger, deafeningly loud. The hall trembled more and more violently, as if a strong earthquake had occurred, and small stones kept falling from the ceiling, raising a cloud of dust.

Shen Ying's eyes were filled with fear. She covered her mouth tightly, her knuckles turning white from the force, afraid that she might make even the slightest sound.

Zhou Yifeng's expression was solemn. He gripped his weapon tightly and stared intently through the narrow gaps in the cover, observing the thrilling commotion outside.

At this moment, the ground in the center of the hall slowly cracked open, and a huge pillar of light carrying powerful energy shot into the sky from the crack like a dragon.

The light was dazzling and blinding. Within the light, a mysterious figure vaguely appeared, its outline indistinct, filled with an aura of unknown mystery.

"What is that?" Xu Jiayi's voice trembled, almost squeezed out from deep in her throat. Her face was deathly pale as she asked in a low voice.

Everyone shook their heads in horror, no one could explain what this sudden, mysterious entity was.

As the light gradually dimmed, the figure became clearer.

It was a humanoid creature dressed in ancient and gorgeous clothing, but its face was shrouded in a soft yet mysterious light, making it impossible to see clearly and adding to its mysterious and unpredictable aura.

The humanoid creature slowly spoke, its voice seemingly traversing endless ages, echoing from the distant past: "Intruders, your courage is commendable, but this is not a place for you."

Zhou Yifeng took a deep breath, stood up, and replied with a firm gaze, "We have no intention of offending anyone; we are simply seeking the truth."

The humanoid creature was silent for a moment, seemingly pondering something, before saying, "The truth often comes at a great cost. Are you sure you want to continue?"

Upon hearing this, everyone looked at each other, their eyes filled with hesitation and unease.

Zhou Yifeng gritted his teeth, his eyes filled with determination, and said firmly, "We have come this far, overcoming countless hardships and obstacles, and we will not back down no matter what."

The humanoid creature sighed softly, a sigh that seemed to contain a thousand unspoken words: "Since that's the case, then pass my test. Only by passing the test will you be qualified to continue exploring."

With that, the humanoid creature waved its hand lightly, and the surrounding environment instantly underwent a dramatic transformation.

Everyone felt a flash of light before their eyes, and when they could see clearly again, they found themselves in a maze filled with mist.

The fog was so thick it was like ink that couldn't be dissolved, making it impossible to tell which way was which.

"Everyone be careful, don't get separated," Zhou Yifeng said loudly, his expression tense.

They cautiously made their way through the maze, each step fraught with unknown dangers.

Strange sounds would occasionally drift over, sometimes sharp, sometimes low, sometimes sinister, sending chills down their spines, as if countless eyes were watching them from the darkness.

Because she was too nervous, Shen Ying accidentally stepped on a hidden mechanism.

With a "crack," rows of sharp stone pillars rose instantly from the ground, as menacing as fangs.

The crowd was terrified and scattered in all directions. Those who were a little slower were almost impaled by the stone pillar.

Lin Shuang called out, "Everyone, follow me. I remember the route we just took." Her voice trembled slightly, but it was filled with determination.

Led by Lin Shuang, they turned left and right in the maze, like blind people groping in the dark.

Every turn may hide unknown dangers, and every step is taken with trepidation.

Finally, after a thrilling and arduous exploration, they found the exit of the maze.

However, another huge problem awaited them.

Three doors stood prominently at the exit, each engraved with different mysterious symbols, which resembled ancient codes that left people scratching their heads.

The humanoid voice rang out again, echoing in the air like a ghost: "Choose the right door to move forward. If you choose the wrong one, you will bear the consequences."

Everyone fell into deep thought, their eyes constantly shifting between the three doors. What should they choose? Every choice could determine their life or death. Fine beads of sweat appeared on their foreheads, and their hearts were in their throats.

Zhou Yifeng frowned, his gaze sweeping over the three doors, trying to find a clue from the mysterious symbols.

"How about we split up and study these symbols?" Su Yuze suggested.

Everyone nodded and began to carefully examine the doors in front of them.

Shen Ying stared at the symbol in front of her, racking her brains to recall the various rune clues she had encountered before. Suddenly, she seemed to have discovered something: "The shape of this symbol is a bit like the one we saw on the sarcophagus!"

Zhou Yifeng quickly leaned closer: "Are you sure?"

Shen Ying said uncertainly, "It's somewhat similar, but not exactly the same."

Lin Shuang also made a discovery: "The arrangement of these symbols seems to be similar to the mechanisms we cracked before."

Just as everyone was having a heated discussion, Xu Jiayi noticed that time was ticking away and said anxiously, "We can't hesitate any longer; we must make a decision as soon as possible."

Zhou Yifeng took a deep breath and said, "Then let's consider everyone's findings and rule out the least likely door first."

After a heated discussion and analysis, their attention finally settled on two of the doors.

“But we still can’t be sure which door it is.” Chen Xue’s face was full of worry, and her voice trembled noticeably.

Zhou Yifeng gritted his teeth, veins bulging on his forehead: "There's no other way, so I'll just have to take a gamble. I'll choose the one on the left."

Everyone looked at each other, feeling uneasy as if they had a live rabbit jumping around in their hands, but there really wasn't a better solution at the moment.

Xu Jiayi took a deep breath and said, "Okay, then I'll listen to you!" The others also nodded in agreement.

Shen Ying was filled with anxiety and had no better ideas. At this moment, she could only silently pray that the protagonist's halo would work.

Zhou Yifeng composed himself, and with his hands trembling slightly, slowly pushed open the door on the left.

Inside the door was a thick, inky darkness, as if it could swallow a person whole in an instant.

They swallowed hard and carefully stepped inside, each step as light as a cat's, as if afraid of disturbing the mysterious being in the unknown darkness.

As soon as they stepped through the door, they felt a blast of cold air hit them, making them shiver.

Zhou Yifeng raised the torch in his hand, and the faint light illuminated a small area in front of him.

Strange vines were climbing all over the surrounding walls, and they seemed to be wriggling slightly.

"What is this thing?" Lin Shuang asked in horror.

Before anyone could answer, the vines suddenly stretched out rapidly and attacked them. Everyone hurriedly dodged.

Shen Ying accidentally tripped over a vine and was about to get entangled when Zhou Yifeng reacted quickly, burning the vine with a torch and pulling Shen Ying up to continue forward.

They quickened their pace, wanting to escape the area of ​​vines as soon as possible.

However, the road ahead became increasingly narrow, and the ground became extremely slippery.

Su Yuze almost slipped and fell, but luckily Xu Jiayi caught him in time.

"Everyone be careful!" Zhou Yifeng shouted a warning.

Just then, they heard a low roar that echoed through the narrow passage, sending chills down their spines.

"What kind of monster is this?" Chen Xue's voice was trembling with tears.

Zhou Yifeng forced himself to remain calm: "Don't be afraid, let's move forward and see what's going on."
