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

"That's about it. I don't really want them to know that I hired you, otherwise they'll have to make a lot of demands on me, which is unnecessary for me, so I'll just hold off for a while."

Huang Shen's explanation made Bai Lin speechless.

If you don't tell me, who will know whether you want to buy on credit?

Of course, the God of Wilderness ignored Bai Lin's constipated expression, and before Bai Lin could speak again, he said to him,

"I'm a god, how could I possibly owe you a reward? Don't worry. All you want is a way to kill that guy once and for all, right?"

"There's extra money, you promised me that."

Bai Lin immediately took a bite. The God of Wilderness's expression remained unchanged. He just smiled calmly and said,

"I know, I know. Let's focus on the most important things first. As for the person who's hunting you, I can't reveal all her information to you, but I can point you in a direction that will lead you to the answer."

"Actually, I've already left some methods within your body that can completely kill her. It's not some dragon-slaying sword you can pick up and slay a dragon. It's not a convenient tool. You'll have to figure it out for yourself."

Hearing this, Bai Lin suddenly became alert. She frowned and asked quickly,

"What do you mean? You're not trying to trick me, are you? How can I verify something so vague?"

"I never break my promises, but I truly can't explain this to you directly. As for the reason, if you think about it carefully, you'll figure it out. As for how to kill her... the information you have now can actually deduce the answer. It's much simpler than why I can't explain things to you directly. You don't need to overthink it."

Listening to the words of the God of Desolation, Bai Lin fell into a state of deep thought. She recalled her recent experiences and after pondering for a while, a sense of enlightenment came over her. Her expression flickered, and she looked at the God of Desolation very seriously and asked,

"I kind of understand, but I still need to have the strength to defeat her physically before I can achieve it, right?"

Looking at the Holy Son in front of him whose mind was sometimes smart and sometimes not, the God of Wilderness smiled with relief and said,

"Of course, but I've already given you guidance on that point, haven't I? Besides that, this extra money should also help you with this."

As he spoke, the God of Wilderness, just like Angelina had done back then, conjured three sacks and tossed them into Bai Lin's hands. Bai Lin took a quick glance and realized they weren't completely crammed full of things; each sack only contained one object. As she saw them, a wave of thoughts like a brainstorm raced through Bai Lin's mind, causing her brain to sway for a moment. She didn't have time to speak.

"What exactly are the contents of these three bags? I won't tell you directly. I'm sure with your discerning eyes, it won't be too difficult to discern the value of the items. Of course, if you really want to exchange them for money, I won't refuse. However, this is my instruction. Do you really want to exchange them for money?"

Listening to the careful introduction of the God of Wilderness, Bai Lin just glanced at the God of Wilderness who was smiling like a cat in front of him, put the three things into his bag calmly, and then said,

"Of course not. I have to admit, your guidance is quite pragmatic. Although you know how sincere I am to the gods, from my perspective, I would even hope that you can return to Qianhong and become their god..."

"That's a nice compliment, but I have no such intention. The absence of gods in some places can be a good thing. Holy Son, I'm a little uncomfortable with your sudden kindness to me. I still prefer your unruly side."

Bai Lin tutted. She had tried her best to be less polite to the God of Wilderness, but this woman was the type to flatter anyone who came up to her. She folded her hands and stared at the God of Wilderness for a long time, unable to come up with a retort. Then she sighed and said nothing more.

"Oh, and the fan bone, take it with you. Although the residual soul I left behind will dissipate soon, it will have other uses. The extra money is about this much."

The God of Wilderness walked around Bai Lin with a smile on his face, and continued to talk while strolling.

"This matter is almost over. You, bearing the name of the Desolate Walker, have seen quite a bit. What are your thoughts on this, Holy Son Bai Lin?"

Chapter 607 A Small Poem

Bai Lin glanced at the God of Desolation indifferently again, and then said seriously,

"I have a lot of thoughts. I don't know what you're asking about. Of course, I think I've figured out everything you want me to think about."

"I think so too. After all, you're a smart person, otherwise I wouldn't have come to you. But I have to remind you that in this world, you'll see many things on your future journey. When that happens, you must stick to your original intention. Otherwise, if you turn into a desolate soul and are taken to my side one day, I'll have to come to you every day to do things for you."

Bai Lin sneered, her heart trembled slightly, and her tone rose slightly as she replied,

"That's a very intimidating threat, but no matter what, it's probably not your turn to take me in."

"Who knows? Well, I won't be your riddler anymore. Let's go. If you still don't want to leave, I can walk with you for a while—"

"No, I'm leaving." Bai Lin answered immediately without any hesitation.

"How heartless! I'll be heartbroken. We have a long way to go. If we see each other again next time, I hope you can chat with me like we did today... But, please be nice to my followers. Don't do this."

As she spoke, the God of Wilderness waved at Bai Lin. She did not fly up to the sky, but turned around like an ordinary human, leaving her side profile, smiling at Bai Lin and saying,

"Goodbye, my wilderness walker."

Bai Lin also turned around and didn't look in that direction anymore. She turned her face away and smiled knowingly, saying calmly,

"Goodbye, God of Wilderness."

The man and the wolf cub once again set out on their journey, while the god transformed into streams of light, waving goodbye and gradually merging into the world. And so, the story came to an end.

Bai Lin was walking on the prairie, looking at the blue sky. Her mood at this moment was as vast as the sky, but it seemed that there were some accumulated emotions settling in her heart.

The God of Wilderness, who looked completely different from the statue and the one in Yueguang Tan's memory, might not be so bad after all. At least at this point, he could feel fortunate for the Yuling race from the bottom of his heart.

"The rainy night wind darkened the mountain, and all the people and things were scattered.

After tossing and turning through hardships and sufferings, I stop and look back to enjoy the remaining joy."

Mumbling to herself the poem about the God of Desolation that had just flashed through her mind, Bai Lin fell into another wave of thought. Like savoring the lingering aroma of a cup of tea, her expression calm, her thoughts boundless. The bird with the inky tail feathers flapped its wings and soared once more beneath the blue sky, gliding forward, its song echoing through the empty valley, its song lingering for a long time. It fanned a gust of wind powerful enough to sweep across the plains, this world, carrying them far into the distance.

But at this moment, another voice sounded from Bai Lin's ears.

"That's disgusting! Who would read something like that in front of others? Even I would be shy."

"Why the hell are you still here???! Can you please be a god and have some credibility? I've already said goodbye, can you please just leave quickly?..."

Perhaps this is the end of the story.

-

Platinum, strictly speaking, should be called platinum. It is a grayish-white precious metal with high density, high ductility, and low reactivity, belonging to the transition metal category. In Bai Lin's original world, platinum originated from a massive meteorite that crashed into Earth two billion years ago, bringing this precious metal to this beautiful planet.

As early as 700 BC, platinum shone brightly in the history of human civilization. In the more than 2000 years of human use of platinum, it has always been regarded as the most noble metal and sought after by aristocrats and royal families.

Although platinum lacks the brilliance of gold, its precious value is immediately apparent, and it ranks 78th in atomic number, one notch lower than gold. However, it is equally revered and is considered by many to possess an air of elegance and nobility.

As for why I'm mentioning this, the reason is simple. Right before my eyes, a towering wall of platinum stands, hundreds of meters wide and over ten meters tall. Even though platinum doesn't carry the same aura as gold, the sheer amount of platinum used to build a wall clearly demonstrates the wealth of the individual who did so.

Furthermore, beyond the city walls, there was even a large amount of liquid, seemingly made of molten platinum, spreading across the land like a lake. It soaked the green soil and, incongruous with the massive wall, appeared in the lush forest, shining with the bright sun in the sky, gleaming with a truly precious light.

There was a sudden "bang" sound, and a steel fist with an engine and spitting fire, like a rocket, created a gap in the platinum wall at lightning speed, leading our brave Bai Lin, who was holding a baby in his arms, to break out.

Her armor was tattered, and her body was covered in scars, some of which looked bone-deep. She was clearly in a state of extreme distress. How could someone like her end up in such a precarious situation? The answer, of course, was she was completely outmatched. While Bai Lin wasn't particularly powerful, unless she encountered a particularly perverse individual, she could easily protect herself. So, what kind of person could possibly be so capable of chasing her down and assaulting her like this?

The answer to this question unfolds slowly, starting with the concept of currency. As we all know, the currency used by humans is gold coins and copper plates. Setting aside the high production of copper, in this world, gold production is only slightly less than copper. Gold's inherent benefits have been partially replaced by magical substances, resulting in gold being a highly produced, yet largely useless substance.

Originally, the purpose of metal currency was to represent the value of precious metals through their corresponding monetary value. However, humanity's current situation is not good, so a common decision has been made: to use gold, which is basically useless, as currency.

For ordinary citizens, gold coins were rarely used. Copper coins, which held real value, were far more widely circulated. Gold coins, while less valuable but carrying official credibility, were often used only for large transactions. In some villages, this gold might even be worth less than copper coins, a temporary fix created by humans out of necessity.

Chapter 608 Aranija

How could the incredibly prosperous alien races choose their currency for the same reasons humans do? Platinum. This material holds extraordinary significance in this world. Not only does it inherently carry a vast amount of magical energy, but it can also be imbued with magical energy, transforming it. Used in casting and crafting magical items, platinum, with its magical foundation, is incredibly durable. Some races even eat platinum directly, making it a truly versatile metal.

If they were a race with some magical abilities, they might not even need to carry weapons when going out, and could simply shape the platinum coins into any desired form, or use them as magic bombs. However, doing so was generally a wasteful act, as the amount of platinum that could be mined was very limited, and it wasn't something that was readily available to alien races.

Copper coins, silver dollars, and gold coins—if one were to compare platinum to any of these three, the only way to measure this rare and valuable metal would be to use the term "above gold." And right now, Bai Lin was trapped in a lake of platinum. Surely everyone understands why she was having such a hard time fighting, right?

Not long ago, when Bai Lin was taking a rest with Xiao Miyu, a huge platinum clot hit her from a long distance. The huge magic clot fell directly, just like a prank delivered directly in modern society. It almost flattened a mountain.

Fortunately, Bai Lin's reflexes were strong enough to react the moment she sensed the attack, so she wasn't injured. However, this was just the beginning. After that, an overwhelming barrage of firepower directly hit Bai Lin, bombarding her continuously. No matter how hard she tried to react, she was unable to react and could only endure it.

If Bai Lin was alone, although it would not be so easy for her to run, she would only suffer minor injuries at most. But the problem was that she was carrying Mi Yu with her. She had thick skin and flesh, so a few explosions would not be a big deal, but she also had this little glutton.

So, Bai Lin thought of a way to use human air defense, but it ended with her being injured.

Who, on earth, could have poured all these resources, which could have been used to attack the city and seize territory, into a mere Bai Lin? The answer lay thousands of meters away, on a relatively flat hillside. There stood about a dozen people, all clad in light armor made of platinum.

Armor made of platinum, which can be infused with magic, even though it's a light armor, actually offers defensive capabilities comparable to those of ordinary heavy armor. It can automatically shift its own materials based on the enemy's attack, increasing the defense of certain areas to the same degree as heavy armor.

Furthermore, the armor's ductility was impeccable, allowing for no sense of restraint, no matter how acrobatic the moves. Even Bai Lin's heavily forged armor limited her movements somewhat, and while this didn't substantially increase the wearer's combat effectiveness, it certainly raised their upper limits.

It was like a layer of cream dripped onto silver, incredibly smooth yet incredibly solid and reliable. The ten men standing in a row displayed not only the solemnity of ordinary soldiers but also the ultimate expression of the word "expensive."

Before them stood a cannon-shaped object composed of magical formulas. Needless to say, the object it fired was, of course, a magical conglomerate cannon composed primarily of platinum. While each of its ejections wasn't particularly impressive, the results—just look at the devastating scene at Bai Lin's side, and you'll understand its terrifying power.

Standing in front of this row of armored soldiers is a girl who looks not much like the person behind her, and even her appearance here seems a little unbelievable... Oh no, to be more precise, it should be a young girl.

She stood only about 1.5 meters tall, with a petite figure, appearing to be only eleven or twelve years old. Her skin was as pale as frost, and her long, silver-white hair nearly reached the ground. This youthful appearance, coupled with her beautiful and lovely face, radiated both fragility and nobility. It felt as if she shouldn't be wearing the armor she was wearing, but rather a distinguished, floor-length dress of a similar hue, which would have better complemented her temperament.

Anyone would have thought so if they hadn't seen her orange eyes filled with rage.

There was a little saliva dripping from the corners of her wildly raised mouth. Although it was normal for a young girl to drool when seeing delicious food, her crazy and heavy breathing clearly showed that she was not greedy, but was extremely excited about something.

Her orange eyes shone brightly like the sun, and within them burned a morbid passion and longing. The girl's expression, alone, completely shattered the aura she had cultivated. Her frequent, eerie laughter, in particular, completely deviated from the image of a "lovable, wealthy, and lolita girl."

When a ferocious beast is extremely hungry, it might also make the same expression as her when it suddenly sees prey. However, her madness can no longer be compared to that of an ordinary ferocious beast. Instead, she is the kind of man-eating evil spirit that makes people want to flee, with a frying pan behind her and people skewered in her hands.

"Keep going, keep going, don't stop! Keep beating them for ten or twenty minutes!"

The furious little girl stood at the front of the group, stepping on the axe blade that was taller than her, and giving orders. However, the handsome armored men behind her were a bit embarrassed. One of them said,

"Ms. Alani, our goal this time is to capture the target alive. If we blow them up like this, we won't be able to complete our mission."

"Yes, and our supplies are limited. Even though bombing for a few hours wouldn't be a big problem, what if we encounter an unexpected situation..."

"Bang, bang!" Two heavy hammer blows rang out, coming from a long axe handle colliding with a steel helmet. Araniah had picked up her axe at some point, swinging it casually like a toy, and hitting the two armored men directly on the head.

Chapter 609 Makes sense

"Who the hell are you? You're trying to refute me when I'm at my most excited and in the mood. How can scum like you ever make up for it?!"

Arani turned around and started a barrage of unreasonable insults, while the armored guys all lowered their heads, not daring to complain. It was obvious that this was not the first time they had been scolded. After a while of scolding, the little girl, who had been panting, sighed again and said,

"However, what you two said does make some sense. The bombardment should almost stop here. We've been bombarding the target for so long and it hasn't lost its ability to move. If we really continue to use firepower to kill it, it would be a bit of a waste. But..."

Suddenly, the two armored men felt a huge pressure on their upper bodies, and their lower bodies unconsciously took a step forward, almost losing their balance and falling forward. The little girl was pinching their chins and whispering in their ears,

"Those who disobey me must be punished. After you return, both of you must come and train with me for an hour."

Hearing this, the two men's expressions twitched beneath their armor, as if they had heard something utterly terrifying. But they didn't dare to say no, so they agreed. Then, the little girl loosened her hands, turned her head, and, casting aside the slight annoyance on her face, she put on a reckless smile once again.

She lifted the axe, which was larger than her body. A faint light flashed, and a half-shielded helmet was lowered from her head, covering the upper half of her face. The orange light still flickered in her eyes, and her long hair still fluttered behind her. She laughed wildly and said,

"Let's go, it's time to chop up those bugs that are running around."

The camera cuts to a scene where Bai Lin, relieved that the bombing had ceased and taking a breath, is about to treat her wounds and evacuate when a foreboding premonition strikes. Holding Miyu in one hand, she quickly turns around, raises her shield, and charges forward.

The sound of the earth cracking echoed as the axe blade, a circle larger than Bai Lin's body width, landed heavily on the shield. Although the shield could withstand the force, Bai Lin's body sank several inches into the ground and was knocked back several meters.

The opponent's attack continued unabated. As soon as the first blow was over, another heavy axe struck down from above. The brilliant light emanating from the platinum exploded like a blinding flash, and a deep crater suddenly appeared on the ground. The previously intact land was reduced to a mess in a single blow.

Araniah grabbed the great axe, pulled it from the ground, and lifted it with one hand, holding it loosely with the other. A strange expression appeared on her face, as if she was recollecting something. The next moment, a flash of flint swiftly flew out from one side of the jungle. Araniah reacted instantly and swung her axe, sweeping it down with a surge of magical energy that struck all the flying objects.

The explosion echoed, but besides a little heat, it was also accompanied by a large amount of thick smoke. The smoke quickly spread, gradually spreading to most of the surrounding space. Clearly, Bai Lin was the only one who would throw such a prop.

She took the initial blow head-on, mainly because it was too sudden, but the subsequent move, when the opponent chose to chop down with all his might, seemed to be somewhat underestimating Bai Lin's reaction speed. She jumped away, escaping into the forest she had long intended to enter, and threw the object above.

The opponent's speed is similar to mine, his skills are probably not as good as mine, and his strength is slightly inferior to mine... From this point of view, the chances of winning are not very high, not to mention that now that I am with Miyu, the possibility of fighting with all my strength is very low. First of all, I should keep my distance.

Despite Bai Lin's rational judgment, where could she run to in this alien territory? She couldn't just run all the way back to Kamitlan. Turning back to seek help from the God of Wilderness wasn't realistic either. Theoretically, the god wouldn't come out, and Bai Lin didn't really want to trouble another race.

Bai Lin had no idea why she was suddenly being targeted by this group. If she could communicate, she would have preferred to find a way to resolve the situation. She always believed in "If you can beat me, you can reason with me." But if communication was impossible, her options were pitifully limited. She basically had to find a way to eliminate the enemy or get rid of her.

In short, let's do the last one first. If they catch up, there's no way things will end well. Just as Bai Lin was thinking this, a massive amount of magical energy began to gather in front of her, and the road beneath her feet suddenly became sticky, making it difficult to walk. She was surprised to find that the dirt and stone path in the jungle had been completely soaked, transforming into a flat, platinum floor.

Soon, the massive platinum wall blocked Bai Lin's path, and the scene returned to the original scene. Unable to escape, Bai Lin was about to take a detour, but the aura of danger had already caught up with her. Ten thick magical lasers pierced through the jungle, shredding the lush trees and striking the massive wall behind Bai Lin. The lasers, which were likely hotter than her own katana, only emitted a faint puff of smoke on the platinum wall.

Then, the massive axe blade flew out from Bai Lin's sight once more, accompanied by a storm of magical power. The heavy axe landed beside Bai Lin. She used her shield to block the attack, shifting her weight. At this moment, ten laser-like magical forces emanated from not far away, clearly aiming to block Bai Lin's movement space.

Bai Lin, on the other hand, made a remarkably bold decision. She slammed her foot directly into the platinum wall and leaped into the air, twisting her body and dodging all attacks with a perfect curve, as gracefully as a freestyle diver. Then, her body hovered in the air for a moment, a raging fire of resentment ignited in a burst of purple flames. Holding the dragon spear, she plummeted to the ground at a swift, unpredictable angle. She landed squarely in the center of the neatly arranged formation of ten people.

The explosion sounded, and the flames, just as Bai Lin expected, did not burn the enemy directly as usual, but the explosive magic power carried by the dragon spear was also shaking, forcing the enemy to retreat a few steps in the first place, and there was a momentary flaw in the formation.

Chapter 610 Why is it so fierce?

Bai Lin didn't hesitate. Standing on the spear's tip, she landed on the ground, swung around, and unleashed a powerful backstab. It was a classic "Dragon Tail" spin move, albeit a one-handed one, with less power and speed. Then, disrupting her opponent's rhythm, she swiftly lunged forward, then she withdrew her dragon spear and replaced it with a katana that wouldn't set Bai Lin on fire. She vanished in a puff of smoke.

Being in the alien territory without backup is not completely without benefits. At least Bai Lin can change direction at any time, and there will be a little more room for him to run.

However, the current situation was still dire. A magic item had broken from Miyu's body. It was one of Angelina's rewards to Bai Lin. If Bai Lin hadn't given Miyu this item, she wouldn't have dared to use the Dragon Spear, and even if she had, she wouldn't have dared to use it for too long.

Bai Lin was so restricted, so restricted, that the already difficult enemy became even more difficult. She had no choice but to pour some resources into the battle without regard for the consequences, throwing smoke bombs in all directions, quickly forming a tactical smoke wall to disrupt the enemy's search.

But before Bai Lin ran far, the laser shot out again. Her figure shuttled through the hail of bullets without panic, but an orange-yellow light flashed from the smoke behind her, and the heaviness and sharpness attacked Bai Lin at the same time.

Bai Lin had no choice but to take a deep breath, stand still, and tense her side muscles, but softening the joints of her wrists. She slashed from the side, blocking the opponent's axe blade while stepping back two steps. After this blow, Bai Lin did not lose heart. She spun around, breaking through her tense muscles, and pulled out a large, heavy blade, striking directly at the opponent's neck.

As the fastest of the two-handed weapons, the katana has always been extremely advantageous in terms of offensive attacks. Even such a long katana, in Bai Lin's hands, is extremely fast.

"Den-"

Not surprisingly, the sound of metal clashing rang out. The axe handle easily blocked the blow and pushed Bai Lin's force back. Obviously, it was still a bit difficult to seize the initiative with one hand. The opponent was not an ordinary person who could be taken down with just a few strokes.

Bai Lin curled his lips, his hands unhurried, he sheathed his blade, leaped back, and swung forward, combining retreat and defense to block the opponent's attack space. But the opponent, as if without a second thought, raised his axe high and smashed it directly into the ground, causing the forest to collapse again.

Now, Bai Lin, airborne, had a hard time finding a landing spot. She fixed her sights on a thick rock, tapped her toes, and launched herself directly toward the enemy. The enemy's figure passed through the crumbling mud wall, now wielding her massive axe, grinning broadly as she charged towards Bai Lin. Bai Lin held her breath, concentrating, perfectly slicing through the opponent's turbulent magic with the tip of her blade. The blade brushed against the opponent's axe blade, the slight vibration deflecting the opponent's backlash.

The most vulnerable part of a katana is naturally its extremely thin blade. A direct hit from another weapon can easily break a katana. However, Bai Lin met the axe blade with her blade without hesitation, achieving a tactical success! Her blade was about to deflect the opponent's weapon and slice into his side, but the sound of metal clashing followed.

With a cry of "Huh!", Bai Lin, having fallen to the ground, retracted his blade and swung it against the uneven ground, realizing something was amiss. Meanwhile, Araniah, like a lead ball, plummeted to the ground, sending the earth trembling again. This time, however, she didn't attack Bai Lin directly. Instead, she heaved her axe over her shoulder, slowly turned, and looked at him.
