It's so painful! So hard! So difficult!

However, even if she knew the direction, she seemed to have no other options. Next time she encountered this situation, would she continue to play wrestling games with her?

Bai Lin shook his head in pain. According to Angelina, there didn't seem to be any special methods. Doing this would affect his sleep, but he didn't sleep much normally, so he might as well consider it exercise.

She was more worried about the impact this would have on the little girl, Miyu. She picked up Miyu's cold body, smoothed her messy hair, and carried her back to the house with a motherly expression. She whispered in a vicious tone,

"I hope that after this is done, you can give me a good solution, instead of pretending to be dead like you did today."

"Oh, raising the stakes at this time? Do you think this is appropriate, Holy Son Bai Lin..."

The slow and leisurely voice of the God of Wilderness reached Bai Lin's ears, and Bai Lin interrupted him unreasonably,

"It's suitable! If I think it's suitable, it's suitable!"

-

In the end, Bai Lin chose to hold Miyu in her arms and locked her in for a while. This way, if Miyu made any movement, she could immediately counterattack. Although Bai Lin's sleep time was much shorter than Miyu's, fortunately, this little one had an exceptionally good sleep quality. When Bai Lin woke up, she put her body back into the quilt, and Miyu showed no signs of waking up.

The morning light was naturally very bright. On this vast plateau, with the dome overhead, there was no obstruction, and the refreshing sense of freedom was intoxicating. But Bai Lin wasn't here to enjoy the grassland scenery today; for her, there were more important things.

Chapter 591 I tell you, the plan is like this

"Before we begin today's battle, we must, of course, make some arrangements for the battle plan. After all, our opponent is a powerful pest, and we must deal with it properly."

The God of Wilderness also transformed into a human form today, accompanying Bai Lin, leading her through the countryside while politely greeting passersby. Bai Lin glanced at her and asked,

"What do you mean? Do you mean I have to command these rain spirits? I won't do that. I don't know anything about them, and they probably won't unconditionally trust a new outsider. What's more, I've never commanded such a large number of people."

The expression of the God of Wilderness did not waver at Bai Lin's words. After greeting a resident, she didn't even look at Bai Lin and replied directly,

"Don't worry, it's not your turn to command. I have already thought of the plan completely, and I have a sufficient number of backups. You just need to take note."

When Bai Lin heard the word "sufficient number of backup plans", she couldn't help but feel a headache. She didn't like to prepare multiple plans at the same time. When there was a problem with the original plan, she would usually adjust a new combat strategy on the spot based on the situation. This was what she was better at.

But now she was helping someone else with their work, so she had no choice but to follow their lead. Ugh...it was really overwhelming to have to remember so many things.

The God of Wilderness seemed to see through Bai Lin's anxiety, then turned around, looked at Bai Lin with a mysterious smile and said,

"Don't worry, no matter which plan you choose, there's only one thing you need to do, and that's—"

As he spoke, Huang Shen leaned close to Bai Lin's ear and whispered a few words. Bai Lin's expression changed from shock to a very strange expression. She looked at him as if he was an idiot, and then asked,

"It's that simple?"

"Yes, it's that simple. You don't need to participate in any discussions or arrangements regarding the plan. That's convenient, isn't it? But now, you still have to go with me to the meeting place."

"What are you going to do?"

Bai Lin asked doubtfully, and Huang Shen replied very naturally,

"Of course it's pre-war mobilization."

Just like that, Bai Lin was led by the God of Wilderness to the tree. The environment here was quite quiet. No noise from the street could be heard, only the rustling of the wind through the branches. There were about five or six men and women standing there, all standing upright, their expressions solemn, gathered under the tree. Among them was, of course, the person from yesterday, Lingyue Zhongye.

They had naturally arrived earlier than Bai Lin and Huang Shen. Normally, Bai Lin would have politely greeted them first, as they were the last to arrive, but now she was only here to accompany Huang Shen, and since Huang Shen had so readily joined the guild, Bai Lin naturally didn't bother to say anything. She simply stood casually in a relatively empty spot, waiting for Huang Shen to speak.

"It seems everyone is here. So, what's the current status of the farm work?"

As soon as Huang Shen sat down, he asked questions about agriculture in a very natural way, as if the serious expressions of these people were fake, and that this was not a war meeting but an agricultural exchange.

"Your Excellency, the God of Desolation, the plague has been largely suppressed, but some physiological functions are still affected and cannot be resolved for the time being."

An old man with gradually whitening hair said this to the God of Wilderness. He was also very serious, reporting something that made Bai Lin confused. The God of Wilderness nodded and replied normally,

"That's normal. You've already reached your limit. That calamity beast is a creature that no longer exists in this world. Even if its appearance resembles some magical beasts, its basic elements and principles are vastly different. It's impossible to fully restore those affected by it using only basic means."

After hearing the words of the God of Wilderness, a woman wearing a rabbit mask standing next to Bai Lin asked the God of Wilderness,

"So, what should we do?"

Facing the other party's doubts, the God of Wilderness put his hands aside and sat down casually under the tree. Then he swung the folding fan in his hand across his body and said lightly,

"The only way is to do it."

As soon as these words were spoken, the atmosphere of the entire meeting seemed to drop by several degrees. Although no one gasped, the faces of several people became noticeably more nervous. Lin Yue Changye was the first to break the somewhat silent conversation. He opened his mouth and asked,

"Then, Lord Huangshen, how many people do you need from our Yuling side?"

The God of Wilderness glanced at him indifferently and threw out two words.

"All."

As soon as these words were spoken, the tense atmosphere between these five or six people quickly increased. Lin Yue Zhong Ye was also obviously a little panicked, with a little cold sweat on his forehead.

"Lord Huang Shen, among the people, there are also the elderly, the young, the sick and the disabled. Should they also be included..."

"I've told you before, I want everyone here. As long as they won't spread the plague and can be used, bring them all here."

At this moment, the words of the God of Wilderness were filled with majesty and irresistibility, a stark contrast to the prankster god who had been constantly joking with Bai Lin. This fierce aura and these words that sounded a bit excessive made Bai Lin, who had been silent the whole time, frown. She shouted to the God of Wilderness,

"Hey, God of Wilderness, it's not appropriate to bring the old, young, sick, and disabled into battle. You also have to consider the casualties. Some people only risk their lives when they go into battle—"

"That's great, Lord Huang Shen. With your words, we feel relieved!"

Bai Lin's words were interrupted by Lin Yue Zhong Ye. He didn't seem to pay any attention to what Bai Lin was saying. He just spoke his true thoughts to the God of Desolation without any hindrance. The thought that made Bai Lin's face completely frozen. At this moment, Bai Lin had only one thought in his mind, which was:

"Even if you don't come, we, the Yuling clan, are prepared to unite our entire strength and fight to the bitter end. This is the root of our long-standing development, and we will never give up easily. Furthermore, we haven't yet found a way to completely isolate the spread of the plague, and we can't abandon our infected companions and flee at this moment."

"This is a unanimous decision made by our entire clan. Even if it means more casualties, we will not back down. If you don't allow some people to go, some might even raise objections."

Chapter 592: Clang Clang Clang

Uh……

These words left Bai Lin stunned. Were the entire clan composed of warriors? Clearly, fighting to the bitter end was an irrational decision that could very well lead to genocide. Could it be that they were speaking this way because they believed the God of the Wilderness would lead them to victory?

Bai Lin cast his gaze towards the God of Desolation, as if trying to get some information from his eyes, but he wasn't even looking at him. Could it be that they were really born to be so strong and simple?

This in turn gave Bai Lin a new perspective on the Yuling race. It was true that they were originally free nomads, primarily engaged in warfare, so it was possible that they would be willing to fight. The culture promoted by the Wild God didn't seem to exploit them.

Although it sounds like a very brave and valuable spirit, in reality... it would be very easy to suffer losses this way, especially in such a dangerous world.

After thinking for a moment, Bai Lin did not intend to continue his words, but stood there silently. The God of Wilderness smiled slightly and said,

"There's no need to mention that. I'm already here. Although I can't help you on the front lines, I've found a powerful helper for you."

As he spoke, the God of Wilderness sat down and pointed forward, his eyes passing through the people in front of him and pointing directly at Bai Lin, and the people around him also very compliantly turned their gaze to Bai Lin.

"Clang clang clang clang, the strongest helper is naturally my Desolate Walker. She is very powerful. When she is fighting head-on, you don't need to be anxious or worried, so as not to make any unplanned moves. Just leave everything to her."

There was something else hidden in Huang Shen's words. Although she did not directly point out Bai Lin's ability, it was also a reminder to the Yulings not to worry about Bai Lin's life or death. Bai Lin himself did not feel anything special about this sentence. He just continued to stand there without saying anything. Huang Shen continued to smile and said to Bai Lin,

"Don't be so cold, come on, say a few words to everyone yourself."

You have your own believers, why do you want me to talk to them... Bai Lin thought helplessly in her heart, but in the end, she still cooperated very well and simply replied,

"Well, leave the task of fighting on the front lines to me. You just need to follow the instructions of the God of Wilderness."

When Bai Lin said this himself, the people around him almost all showed their faith in Bai Lin at the same time, and responded and encouraged Bai Lin. After that, Huang Shen also said,

"Okay, you can go do your own thing first. I'll come back to you after I finish explaining the battle plan."

"Ah? Yeah, okay."

Bai Lin, suddenly called out by name, knew who the "you" the God of Wilderness was referring to. However, this pre-war mobilization... was so rudimentary that it was beyond her expectations, so Bai Lin was still stunned for a moment.

When they were operating together, Bai Lin, as the captain, had spoken more than he did now. You know, the Yulings were about to fight a big battle, which was quite different from their work as adventurers.

Perhaps it was because these guys were so motivated that Bai Lin only said a few words and they trusted him sincerely, which was quite convenient. Bai Lin shook his head and left the venue.

-

Sweat splashed from Bai Lin's tense and twisted shoulders and fell to the ground beside her. She was practicing her martial arts as she did every day when she had some free time.

In Bai Lin's hand was a katana of similar length to his own flaming sword, which he had received from a certain Ms. He. It was well-made and was absolutely first-rate training equipment.

After completing a set of movements, she held the blade low in front of her body, took a deep breath, and rested. Looking at her reflection on the bright blade, she couldn't help but think of the past.

Although Bai Lin had spent the longest period of her martial arts training on her own, after all, martial arts were a matter of personal training, guided by a master. However, every person who had taught her martial arts had a memorable encounter with her, one that Bai Lin found difficult to forget.

The old man, the uncle, Fei'er, He, and Yamashita Kanon. If possible, I really hope they can stay by my side all the time, help me to point out if there are any omissions in the movements, and also enlighten me about the confusion in my heart...

A cool breeze blew by, and Bai Lin shook his head, getting rid of all the messy thoughts in his mind, then raised the blade in his hand again and continued to swing it as usual.

Whether it was the people she had met along the way to martial arts or martial arts itself, Bai Lin was deeply devoted to them and loved them deeply. Furthermore, martial arts were now the very skill she depended on for survival. If she didn't practice diligently, she might one day fall behind others and suffer regretful consequences. Therefore, Bai Lin trained with such enthusiasm and drive.

But on the other side, Xiao Miyu, who had been lying on the edge of the grass, was not as interested as Bai Lin. She rolled over, lying in the warm light of the setting sun, and asked lazily and somewhat boredly,

"Sister, how long are you going to practice? Let's take a break and go out for a walk, okay?"

"No, don't even think about running away. Stay here until I finish practicing. Don't run around. Do you understand?"

Under normal circumstances, after confirming that the settlement was safe, Bai Lin would definitely let Mi Yu walk around freely. However, since what happened last night, Bai Lin would never have the mind to let her run around.

But all day today, Miyu hadn't reacted at all. Could it be that these attacks were intermittent?

Suddenly, a cool feeling, accompanied by the rising evening breeze, blew past Bai Lin. Her ears seemed to ring with the sound of wind chimes swaying, and at the same time, a voice also rang out.

"Hey, I'm almost done with my work here. You're working so hard, Wild Walker. You're training yourself here."

Obviously, the only one who can bring this kind of special effect when he appears is the God of Wilderness. Bai Lin turned his head, put away the knife in his hand, wiped the sweat from his forehead casually, and replied,

"No way, if I don't practice more, there's no way I'll ever get ahead. Being bullied and teased by people like you every day, but not being able to throw a punch, is really depressing."

Chapter 593: Less Aggression Between Humans and Gods

The God of Wilderness ignored the increasingly aggressive tone in Bai Lin's words, and just laughed casually, then replied,

"There's no need to be so malicious towards me. I haven't done anything bad."

Bai Lin did not argue with the God of Desolation any more. He just took out the bottle of inferiority from his bag, drank a mouthful of it happily, wiped his mouth, and replied,

"Let's get down to business. Has everything been settled on your end? Should we go directly there to conduct a preliminary investigation, or what?"

The "over there" that Bai Lin mentioned was naturally the "expected location for the battle with the harmful beasts". Huang Shen was of course aware of this, but she did not confirm Bai Lin's idea, but replied,

"You don't need to be a scout. There are people standing guard over there. The reason why most of the young and middle-aged men in the village are not here is because they are gathered there."

"Then, shall we set off right away?"

Bai Lin scratched his head, while Huang Shen shook his head again and replied,

"No need to rush. It's almost time for dinner. I came to see you to do this."

Why are we talking about dinner at this time? Aren't we about to start exercising? Wouldn't eating too much at this time affect my exercise?

After hearing what Huang Shen said, Bai Lin felt a little puzzled. Then Bai Lin shook his head and replied,

"You take Miyu to eat. I just need some calories. I don't really feel like relaxing right now."

Of course, Huang Shen did not follow Bai Lin's wishes. She stood up straight and looked at Bai Lin and explained in a very reasonable and well-reasoned manner.

"Don't worry, just come and eat with us. Even if you don't come, the rest of the village will have a good meal before they start fighting. Even though a war is imminent, we can't neglect to replenish our spirits and bodies. Besides..."

"The rest of the village is different from you, Bai Lin. You won't die, but for most people, this meal may very well be their last with their families. After that, they will head to the battlefield with a desperate mentality, and this final relaxation and fulfillment must be carried out well, no matter what."

Listening to the two very reasonable explanations of Huang Shen, Bai Lin's heart was slightly shocked. She tilted her head and asked,

"Isn't it... that they are willing to mobilize the entire clan to fight together because you are here and believe that they will not lose any casualties on their side?"

"What nonsense! After hearing what they said at the meeting, how could you still think that? Lin Yue Changye also said that even if I didn't come, they would still choose to fight to the end. It's not because of my help that they made such a reckless choice, but because they came to this conclusion sincerely after careful consideration and put it into action."

The God of Wilderness calmly dismissed Bai Lin's words. Her orange-yellow eyes flickered with a subtle, profound meaning. From her words, it was clear that these rain spirits had each made their own decisions based on their own perspectives.

After receiving the reply from the God of Wilderness, Bai Lin thought for a moment, curled his lips, and then replied,

"I'm not necessarily trying to belittle someone else's course of action. I'm just saying that they've already suffered once for charging forward, uniting so simply, connecting with each other and not abandoning any of the people..."

"I understand what you mean, Bai Lin. That's right, perhaps in the eyes of ordinary people, in the eyes of most people, the Yulings are just a bunch of hot-blooded fools. You may think that I enlightened them about their culture but didn't teach them more pragmatic thinking, which is incorrect."

"There are many people in this world who are like Yu Ling, persistent yet somewhat foolish. They are honest and simple. Most of them suffer meaningless hardships, and even die from oppression."

Having said that, the God of Wilderness turned halfway around, leaving only a side profile, and smiled at Bai Lin with his head tilted, then continued,

"But, maybe it's this kind of fool who can meet me."

As he spoke, the God of Wilderness took the initiative to walk over to Xiao Miyuki, teased the little wolf girl a few times, and then took her hand and walked towards the house in front. Watching the two people leave, Bai Lin clenched her fists lightly in the sunset. She felt a little refreshed in the cool breeze, and therefore, her face was calm.

"If all fools could have the good fortune to encounter you, the Ruler of Heaven and Earth, perhaps, it wouldn't be bad."

-

On this vast plateau, the direction from which Bai Lin and the others came was filled with broken mountains that had been destroyed beyond recognition by a thunderbolt strike, and the other end where they had come was also badly eroded.

Looking down from the cliff, one could see swarms of unidentified black and red matter filling the flat valley. They occasionally wriggled, emitting vibrant bubbles and suspicious noises. They were even connected to the ground, staining the entire landscape with a pitch-black hue, rendering the entire valley below the cliff a blanket of darkness.

The trees rotted into black mold, the flowers rotted into a pungent and tormenting odor, and the corpses of some creatures were...

They turned into balls wrapped in that black and red unknown substance, and kept rushing towards the cliff. They pounced on people they saw, and turned the evil diseases that were decaying on their bodies into claws, corroding more people and things.
