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

The stone door slowly opened, and an ancient aura wafted out. The group composed themselves and peered inside, torches in hand.

What comes into view are towering stone walls all around, covered with ancient and complex runes and patterns, as if telling a long-ago story.

At intervals along the walls were embedded gemstones that emitted a faint glow, preventing the entire tomb from falling into complete darkness.

In the very center of the tomb chamber, there is a huge stone coffin, with exquisite reliefs carved on it, featuring strange mythical beasts and mysterious symbols, which makes people wonder about what is inside.

A ring of pale blue flames surrounded the stone coffin. The flames flickered but had no heat; instead, they gave a cold feeling.

The floor of the tomb chamber was paved with huge stone slabs, which had patterns of varying depths, resembling some kind of ancient formation.

In a corner of the tomb chamber, there were piles of old weapons and decaying books, as if the former owner had once engaged in fierce battles and in-depth research here.

Some stalactites hung from the ceiling of the tomb chamber, some sharp as swords and some round as beads.

Occasionally, water droplets fall from the stalactites, making a crisp sound in the silent tomb, adding to the eerie atmosphere.

As everyone marveled at the sight before them, they suddenly noticed a phantom slowly appearing beside the stone coffin, which then gradually solidified.

Her long, snow-white hair flowed freely, and her deep blue eyes seemed to hold endless mystery.

With a tall and slender figure, she possessed an elegant and ethereal demeanor.

He was dressed in clothes from an unknown era, with a loose white robe on his upper body, in a simple and ancient style, with only a few strands of light blue silk thread at the collar and cuffs.

His black trousers gradually became transparent from the knees down, and upon closer inspection, his entire body seemed to have a faint sense of transparency, not being a solid entity.

The black cloth shoes she wore were semi-transparent, as if they might disappear at any moment. An old gray cloth belt was tied around her waist, and a dark cloak with worn edges was draped over her shoulders, fluttering lightly in the wind.

The team members were incredibly impressed when they first saw him, and some even felt a desire to submit to him.

The torch in Zhou Yifeng's hand trembled slightly, and his voice carried a hint of awe: "This... could this be a deity guarding this place?"

Lin Shuang's eyes widened, and for a moment she forgot to breathe, murmuring, "Such an extraordinary being, shouldn't we have trespassed?"

Xu Jiayi nervously gripped the hem of her clothes and whispered, "I feel like there's an irresistible power about him."

Shen Ying swallowed hard, inwardly screaming like a groundhog: "This is the villain! He's so ridiculously good-looking, and he's actually her type!"

But then she mentally berated herself: "How could I be so infatuated at a time like this? It's so wrong of me!"

Su Yuze stared intently at the mysterious figure and said cautiously, "Everyone, be careful."

Chen Xue was so frightened by the mysterious figure's imposing aura that she took a few steps back.

The mysterious figure stood there quietly, its gaze slowly sweeping over the crowd as if scrutinizing them.

Finally, his gaze settled steadily on Shen Ying, and a faint, almost imperceptible light seemed to flicker in his previously emotionless eyes.

When the mysterious figure locked onto Shen Ying, everyone immediately felt uneasy.

Zhou Yifeng stepped forward, shielding Shen Ying behind him, and asked warily, "Who exactly are you? What do you want?"

The guardian spirit did not answer, but merely frowned slightly, seemingly somewhat displeased.

Immediately afterwards, he exuded a powerful aura, which swept over everyone like a surging tide.

Xu Jiayi couldn't help but exclaim, "My God! What's going on?"

The guardian spirit waved its hands, unleashing a powerful force that swept towards the group. Seeing this, Zhou Yifeng shouted, "Everyone be careful!" and then swung his sword in an attempt to block the force.

Lin Shuang quickly drew her bow and shot an arrow, which flew towards the guardian spirit with a whooshing sound.

However, these attacks did not seem to have much effect on the Guardian Spirit.

The guardian spirit launched another attack, this time a blue light that moved with incredible speed.

Su Yuze quickly threw out several hidden weapons, trying to change the direction of the light.

Under the powerful attacks of the guardian spirit, everyone was in a terrible state. They could only desperately dodge and flee. But no matter how hard they tried, they were completely overwhelmed and had no chance to fight back.

Zhou Yifeng shouted first, his eyes wide open, and brandishing his long sword, he charged towards the guardian spirit like a tiger. The sword flashed, carrying an incomparably sharp aura, as if he wanted to cleave the obstacle in front of him in one fell swoop.

Xu Jiayi followed closely behind, gripping the wooden stick tightly with both hands, clenching her teeth, leaping high into the air, and smashing it down on the guardian spirit with all her might. The wooden stick drew an arc in the air, accompanied by a whistling sound.

Lin Shuang quickly drew back the bowstring, her gaze firm and focused. With a "whoosh," a sharp arrow shot out, its tip gleaming coldly, aiming straight for the guardian spirit's vitals, moving with lightning speed.

Shen Ying was not to be outdone. She moved as nimbly as a cat, holding a short knife, and darted left and right around the guardian spirit. Her steps were light and agile as she searched for the best opportunity to attack, her eyes revealing courage and determination.

Su Yuze held a dagger in each hand, his steps as swift as the wind, and quickly stabbed at the guardian spirit. The daggers in his hands were like two silver lightning bolts, dazzling to the eye.

Chen Xue stood behind, her hands tightly gripping the hem of her clothes, her body trembling slightly, her eyes filled with tension and worry.

Her heart was in her throat, and she kept repeating, "Everyone must be careful, nothing can happen to us."

Just as everyone charged towards the guardian spirit with overwhelming momentum, the guardian spirit simply waved its hand, and an incomparably powerful force instantly erupted.

Everyone was powerless to resist and was violently thrown out by this force, crashing heavily to the ground.

However, Shen Ying was the only one carried by that mysterious force, flying forward uncontrollably until she landed behind the guardian spirit and stood beside the stone coffin.

Shen Ying looked completely bewildered, her eyes wide with astonishment and confusion.

Her mind went blank; she had no idea what was going on. She stood there, stunned, thinking: Was this villain going to use her as a hostage to threaten others?

But when she saw her teammates lying in disarray ahead, their faces bruised and swollen, she shook her head and dismissed her own thoughts.

The guardian spirit tilted its head slightly, looked at the bewildered Shen Ying, and a complex emotion flashed in its eyes.

At this moment, the teammates who had fallen to the ground struggled to get up and anxiously looked in Shen Ying's direction.

Zhou Yifeng wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and shouted at the guardian spirit, "What exactly do you want? Don't make things difficult for Shen Ying!"

The guardian spirit remained silent, only extending a hand and gently placing it on Shen Ying's shoulder. Shen Ying trembled, her heart filled with confusion.

Lin Shuang nocked an arrow, aimed at the guardian spirit, and shouted, "Release her!"

The guardian spirit seemed not to hear, and made no further move.

Xu Jiayi was extremely anxious, tears welling up in her eyes: "Please, don't do this."

Su Yuze's gaze was gloomy as he gripped his dagger tightly, his eyes shifting back and forth between the guardian spirit and Shen Ying, pondering a countermeasure.

Just when everyone was extremely anxious, the guardian spirit finally spoke, its voice low and hoarse: "I will not hurt her."

The group exchanged bewildered glances, unsure of what to do. Zhou Yifeng took a deep breath and said, "Bring her back first, then we'll discuss it further."

The guardian spirit gently shook its head: "No, she has to stay here."

Thinking about his mission, Shen Yingqiang felt that he might as well go with the flow.

Moreover, she also discovered that this villain had no ill intentions towards her and seemed to even harbor some inexplicable goodwill towards her, so she shouted to the others, "Don't worry about me, everyone, you guys figure out how to get out of here first."

Chen Xue stamped her feet anxiously, "What should we do?"

Just as everyone was at a stalemate, the guardian spirit didn't give them much time to think. With another wave of its hand, a powerful force surged forth instantly. Before anyone could react, they were all swept away by this force and pushed out the door.

With a loud bang, the stone door slammed shut, leaving only the guardian spirit and Shen Ying inside, who stared at each other in bewilderment.

Zhou Yifeng and the others anxiously called Shen Ying's name outside the door, repeatedly trying to push the stone door open again, but to no avail.

Shen Ying composed herself and looked at her guardian spirit, her heart filled with doubt and trepidation. The guardian spirit, in turn, gazed at her, its eyes revealing complex emotions.

At this moment, the tomb was eerily quiet, and Shen Ying's heartbeat could be clearly heard.
