Rebirth in Another World: The Ultimate Legend

After Lin Yu and the others rushed out of the valley, each of them seemed to have all their strength drained away, dragging their heavy steps forward with difficulty. Their clothes were tattered and stained with blood, and their faces were filled with exhaustion and vicissitudes.

"Lin Yu, what should we do next?" Lin Feng asked, panting heavily. His face was pale, and his clothes were stained with blood, but his eyes still showed determination and resilience.

Lin Yu looked at everyone with a solemn expression and furrowed brows, as if a heavy burden was pressing on his heart. His gaze swept over each person, his heart filled with worry: "Zhao Ling'er is still in the hands of the enemy. We must find a way to rescue her as soon as possible."

Xiao Jinzhi bit her lip; her lips were chapped and bled slightly. Her eyes were filled with anxiety and helplessness: "But we are weak now and don't know anything about the enemy. Taking rash action will only make things more dangerous."

Old Wang frowned, his wrinkles deepening, and he sighed heavily: "But we can't just abandon Ling'er. She's such a good girl; we can't let her fall victim to evil people."

A silence fell over everyone; the atmosphere was extremely oppressive. The cave was so quiet that it seemed as if you could hear everyone's heavy breathing.

Lin Yu paced back and forth with his arms crossed, racking his brains for a solution. His eyes flickered between determination and hesitation before he finally stopped and said, "Let's find a safe place to rest first, send someone to gather information, and then make further plans."

Everyone nodded in agreement, though there was reluctance in their eyes, they also understood that acting impulsively at this moment would be unwise.

Led by Lin Yu, they arrived at a secluded cave. The cave was dark and damp, emitting an unpleasant odor, but for them at this point, it was a rare refuge.

After entering the cave, the group treated their wounds briefly. Lin Feng gritted his teeth, bandaging the wound on his arm with a strip of cloth, sweat pouring down his forehead from the pain, but he didn't utter a sound.

Xiao Jinzhi silently distributed the little bit of dry food she had left to everyone, her eyes showing a hint of heartache: "Everyone, eat something first to replenish your strength."

Old Wang took the dry rations, wolfed down a few bites, then stopped and said, "This tastes like stone, but I still have to fill my stomach."

"Lin Yu, I think we can't wait too long. What if something happens to Miss Ling'er..." Lin Feng looked anxious, and after only a few bites of the dry food in his hand, he couldn't swallow any more.

Lin Yu was no less worried. He clenched and unclenched his fists repeatedly. "I understand, but we must be fully prepared. We can't just throw our lives away in vain. We've already lost too many brothers; we can't afford any more pointless sacrifices." His voice was low and hoarse, filled with deep helplessness and pain.

Just then, the person who had gone out to gather information hurriedly ran back to the cave.

"Brother Lin Yu, something terrible has happened! I heard that Ouyang Kuishan and his gang are planning to execute Miss Ling'er tomorrow to intimidate us." He gasped for breath, his eyes filled with panic.

This news came as a bolt from the blue, shocking everyone.

"No, we can't just sit here and wait to die. We'll go rescue them tonight." Lin Feng suddenly stood up. The movement was so sudden that it aggravated his wounds, causing him to gasp in pain, but the determination in his eyes did not diminish in the slightest.

Lin Yu took a deep breath, trying to stay calm: "Everyone, calm down. This could very well be a trap set by the enemy. They might be trying to lure us in."

"Are we just going to stand by and watch Ling'er be executed?" a young team member shouted, his eyes red and his voice trembling with tears. "We can't be so cowardly!"

Lin Yu clenched his fists tightly, veins bulging on the back of his hands, his heart filled with pain and inner turmoil. To save her might plunge everyone into dire straits; not to save her meant certain death for Zhao Ling'er. His eyes were filled with struggle, as if a fierce battle was raging within him.

Xiao Jinzhi walked to Lin Yu's side, gently took his arm, and said with a tender yet firm look in her eyes: "Lin Yu, whatever decision you make, I will support you. I believe you will make the right choice."

Lin Yu raised his head, looking at everyone with a determined gaze: "We will save them! Even if there is only a sliver of hope, we cannot give up. But we need to develop a meticulous plan."

The crowd gathered around, their eyes sparking with renewed hope.

“I think we should first send someone to find out the enemy’s defensive deployment,” said an experienced team member.

“Yes, we also need to find the exact location where Ling’er is being held,” another person chimed in.

"We can split into several groups and attack from different directions to distract the enemy," Lin Feng eagerly suggested.

After a heated discussion, they finally finalized their action plan.

However, unbeknownst to them, Ouyang Kuishan had already laid a trap, waiting for them to walk right into it. He sat in his tent, laughing smugly, "Hmph, let's see where they can escape to this time."

Night fell, the moon was obscured by dark clouds, and the earth was shrouded in darkness. Lin Yu and his companions stealthily made their way towards the enemy's stronghold, their figures appearing and disappearing in the darkness like a group of warriors about to face their deaths.
