Rebirth in Another World: The Ultimate Legend

Just then, an extremely strange and piercing sound suddenly rang out, as if it came from the depths of the underworld, abruptly shattering the sweet and tranquil atmosphere between Lin Yu and Zhao Ling'er. This sudden change instantly alerted the two who were immersed in happiness. Their nerves were on edge, and their eyes scanned their surroundings like lightning, trying to find the source of the sound and any potential danger lurking within.

"Brother Lin Yu, what's that sound?" Zhao Ling'er gripped Lin Yu's arm tightly, her voice tinged with panic. Her face turned deathly pale, and her eyes widened in terror.

Lin Yu frowned, listening carefully to the source and direction of the sound. "Ling'er, don't be afraid, let's see what's going on first." His expression was serious, and he was also secretly wondering what the sudden sound coming from the deep mountains meant.

Lin Yu, holding Zhao Ling'er's hand, cautiously walked towards the direction from which the sound came. The surrounding atmosphere grew increasingly eerie, and the dim light greatly limited their vision.

Zhao Ling'er's heart was in her throat. "Brother Lin Yu, should we not go? What if there's danger?" Her voice trembled, her lips quivered slightly, and fine beads of sweat appeared on her forehead.

Lin Yu comforted her, "Ling'er, if there is any danger, we won't feel at ease on our journey ahead if we don't find out what's going on." His gaze was firm, trying to give Zhao Ling'er some courage and reassurance.

As they drew closer, the sound grew clearer, seemingly a low growl from some creature, accompanied by the sound of branches snapping.

Lin Yu stopped in his tracks. "Ling'er, you wait here. I'll go scout ahead first."

"No, Brother Lin Yu, I want to go with you," Zhao Ling'er said resolutely, her eyes revealing her stubbornness and dependence on Lin Yu.

Left with no other choice, Lin Yu led Zhao Ling'er onward. Finally, they saw the scene ahead: a gigantic black tiger confronting a group of men in black.

The black tiger was majestic, its black fur shimmering eerily in the dim light. It opened its blood-red maw, revealing sharp fangs, and let out a deafening roar, as if taunting the man in black. Its eyes were like two burning flames, filled with anger and vigilance.

The men in black appeared silently like ghosts, each one of them so agile and nimble, as if they had been tempered by countless trials. They gripped all sorts of incredibly sharp weapons in their hands, some were gleaming longswords, some were sharp short swords, and others held strangely shaped, chillingly concealed weapons.

The eyes of these men in black were like cold abysses, coldly and fiercely staring at Black Tiger, who was surrounded in the middle. Those gazes were like sharp arrows that could pierce the heart, sending chills down one's spine.

They quickly dispersed, forming a fan shape that tightly surrounded Black Tiger in perfect unison. Each movement was perfectly synchronized, without the slightest hesitation, clearly demonstrating a well-trained and seamlessly coordinated elite team. As the encirclement tightened, an invisible pressure surged towards Black Tiger like a tide.

Lin Yu and Zhao Ling'er hid behind the bushes nearby, observing the situation.

"Brother Lin Yu, why are these people here?" Zhao Ling'er asked softly, her breathing becoming rapid.

Lin Yu lowered his voice and said, "I don't know, but it seems this beast is not easy to deal with, and those men in black are also up to no good." His brows were furrowed as he pondered a solution.

Suddenly, the black tiger launched an attack, lunging at one of the men in black. The man in black swiftly dodged, simultaneously swinging his sword at the tiger. The other men in black also joined in the fray, and in an instant, swords flashed and chaos reigned.
