Chapter 6: Planned Ambush (Please read, collect, and recommend!)
Chapter 6
Lin En's mind was calculating rapidly. Although he was a first-level wizard apprentice, he was just a first-level wizard apprentice after all.
Although the "Shinjutsu" he mastered could have a significant impact on ordinary people, the situation before him was completely different.
All candidates who are able to enter the furnace examination are people with wizard qualifications.
In other words, their innate mental power is far stronger than that of ordinary people.
"The effect of my "Shinjuku"..."
Lynn frowned slightly, and had already made up his mind - the effect of this witchcraft on the blond man would definitely be inferior to the description in "Elementary Meditation Method".
"One strike... I only have one chance."
His gaze gradually focused and his fists clenched unconsciously.
He was well aware that he was not good at close combat and had not received any combat training.
The blond man in front of him is very strong and he cannot afford to make the slightest mistake.
What "The Art of Dazzling the Soul" can provide is a brief period of confusion.
According to Lynn's understanding, if the target is an ordinary person, this period of time may last about five seconds.
However, the other party was also an apprentice with wizard qualifications. Lin En estimated that the effect of the witchcraft would only last two to three seconds at best.
Two or three seconds is enough for a martial arts expert to deliver a fatal blow.
But for Lynn, it was clearly not enough.
His physical fitness is average and his body has not been rigorously trained.
If he couldn't get close enough and hit the opponent's vital points in a short period of time, he would completely lose the chance of winning this life-and-death duel.
"When he comes over, he will definitely sense my presence or the traces I left behind. This means that I can only seize the only opportunity to attack, and there will be no second chance..."
Lynn's thoughts became calmer, and a feasible plan gradually formed in his mind.
He knew that he must not panic or act rashly.
Not far away, the blond boy led the ground rhinoceros slowly into the deeper woods, as if looking for any fish that had escaped the net.
Lin En held his breath and hid behind a thick tree trunk, using his powerful mental strength to capture the movements around him until the footsteps gradually faded away and disappeared completely.
At this time, he slowly released his breath-holding technique, exhaled a long breath, and then raised his hand and pinched his eyebrows.
"I have a plan...but the difficulty of implementing it still makes my heart beat fast..."
Lynn took a deep breath, clenched his teeth, and glanced at the several tattered robes on his body.
He picked out a longer piece of cloth and carefully tied it to his ground rhinoceros.
He then quickly searched for a suitable ambush site in the forest.
After selecting a place with undulating terrain, Lin En tied the ground rhinoceros to a thick tree and deliberately hung a piece of rag behind the tree. From a distance, it looked like someone had accidentally exposed the corner of his clothes.
Time was running out, and he knew that the blond boy might return at any time. A layer of fine beads of sweat soon seeped out of his forehead, but even so, Lin En always suppressed his anxiety and remained calm.
"The plan has three steps: bait, weapons, and kill! The first step is completed!"
Lynn looked around and chose an ambush point near several uneaten corpses.
Since moving the body was too tiring, he simply chose a location close to the body to avoid wasting time.
With the mental strength advantage of a first-level wizard apprentice, Lin En had an extremely clear memory of the surrounding terrain. He quickly simulated the possible sight angle of the blond boy:
"A student was checking a corpse. The ground rhinoceros was right next to him. Looking from that road, it could just spot the target at a glance..."
After confirming the ambush site, Lynn dragged two bodies and placed them around the ambush point, while holding tightly in his hand a broken bone left by the dead.
The fracture of this bone is irregular and the edges are sharp, like a natural blade.
"Breath holding technique!"
After all preparations were completed, Lin En quickly performed the breath-holding technique to completely block his own breath.
He carefully hid his body under the two corpses and waited quietly for the prey to arrive.
Although the body had not yet rotted, the feeling of being in the same place with the dead still made Lynn shudder, and nausea and fear surged over him like a tide.
But he knew that this was the only method he could think of in a short period of time. If he didn't stay with the dead now, he would be discovered by the blond boy and become a dead person! He suppressed the discomfort in his heart and completely integrated himself into the environment, not daring to make the slightest sound.
Finally, his keen ears caught the sound of footsteps coming from afar.
The footsteps gradually approached, and each one was like a heavy hammer hitting Lynn's heartbeat.
"despair!"
"despair!"
The voice was clear and heavy, with a cold rhythm.
A cruel smile appeared on the blond boy's lips, his eyes fixed on the robe shadow looming behind the tree.
After hunting more than twenty people in a row, he became more and more adept at this hunting game.
Except for a few strong examinees who delayed him a little, the rest were like little white rabbits delivered to his doorstep.
Of course, "a lion will use all its strength to fight a rabbit." The blond boy didn't know the size of the person behind the tree, so to prevent any accidents, he decided to approach carefully.
At this moment——
"roar!"
A low roar suddenly sounded! A ground rhinoceros jumped out from behind the tree, its nostrils flared, obviously smelling the scent of a stranger, and it roared angrily directly at the blond boy.
Lin En's heart was pounding as he lay in ambush under the corpse.
He knew the characteristics of rhinoceros beasts very well. Once they sensed danger, they would take the initiative to protect their masters.
And this is the key link in his plan!
The appearance of the ground rhinoceros really made the blond boy slightly stunned, but then a fierce light flashed in his eyes.
"Chance!"
He knew that this was the moment when the opponent's weakness was exposed, and he could not miss it.
“Die!”
The blond boy sneered, exerted force suddenly, and pounced on the ground rhinoceros like a cheetah.
As a man trained as a knight, his movements were swift and precise, and in his hand he held a sharp bone spur, a weapon he had taken from the bones of the dead, prepared specifically for killing.
His original target was the opponent's neck, but due to the sudden roar of the ground rhinoceros, he had no time to adjust and could only stab directly at the exposed part behind the robe.
“Sizzle—”
The bone spur tore open the robe effortlessly, but the next moment, the blond boy's pupils suddenly contracted.
No one!
There is no one behind the tree! “What’s going on!?”
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
The blond boy's mind was stunned, but before he could react, a strong feeling of dizziness came over him and completely overwhelmed him.
The "Shin-Shaking Technique" has been activated!
Lynn was already prepared, waiting for this moment!
At the moment when the blond boy pounced, he decisively used the "Shin-shaking Technique".
The blond boy's movements froze for a moment, his body swayed slightly, and his originally fierce expression turned into confusion in an instant.
He was distracted and his attack was completely out of control. Not only did he fail to hit the target, but he also lost his balance and fell to the ground in a mess.
Lin En's nerves were tense like an arrow on a bow. He took this opportunity to push away the two corpses on his body. He held a sharp bone blade in each hand, and a hint of madness and cruelty flashed in his eyes!
"Now!"
He rushed towards the fallen blond boy like a hungry tiger, throwing all fear and hesitation behind him, raised the bone blade and stabbed frantically at the opponent's head and neck!
one time! Twice! Three times! Lin En's arms seemed to be infused with infinite power, and the bone blade stabbed the blond boy's eyes, neck and other fatal parts one after another.
Blood splattered and the fishy smell rushed into Lin's nose, irritating him to the point of nausea, but he didn't care at all! Although the effect of the dizzying technique is short-lived, it is enough to decide life or death.
In just two or three seconds, the blond boy completely lost his ability to react and became a target at will.
However! "roar!"
When the duration of the dizzying spell was over, the blond boy suddenly jumped up, roaring like a mad beast, and tried his best to throw Lin En away.
"ah--!"
Lin En fell heavily to the ground, and the bone blade in his hand fell out of his hand.
The violent impact caused tearing pain throughout his body, and his head felt like it was hit hard by a hammer. The severe pain and dizziness came together, making him almost unable to move.
The blond boy covered his neck and eyes, the pain made him roar like a beast.
He reached out and touched the wound between his face and neck. It was covered in blood and hot liquid was flowing down through his fingers.
"No!"
"impossible!"
He gritted his teeth and roared, holding the bone spurs tightly with both hands, and stabbed around wildly like a madman.
His eyes had long been blurred and he could hardly see anything. Blood continued to flow from his cheeks and neck, dyeing his entire body completely blood red.
At this moment, he was like a devil crawling out of hell, exuding a suffocating murderous aura.
But at this time, Lin En was exhausted and felt weak all over.
He lay on the ground, cold sweat beading on his forehead, and he barely opened his eyes with all his might.
The scene before him set off alarm bells in his heart—although the blond boy was staggering, it was obvious that his strength had been greatly reduced.
But the bone spur in his hand was still waving around wildly, like a dying trapped beast, ready to launch a fatal attack at any time.
Blood gushed out from the blond boy's neck. His frantic struggle and waving made the blood gush out even faster, and the sticky red liquid soon covered his entire body.
Every time he moved, a cloud of blood mist arose, and the air was filled with a strong smell of blood, making people suffocate.
"Hold on a little longer...Hold on a little longer..."
Lin En gritted his teeth, digging his nails deep into his palms, forcing himself to stay awake until the end.
He stared at the blond boy without blinking, and his heart was tense to the limit.
Finally, the wildly waving arms gradually stopped, the blond boy's movements began to become slow, and his shaking body was no longer stable.
As the blood flowed out, his strength was completely drained.
"thump--"
The blond boy's body finally couldn't hold on and he fell heavily to the ground.
Deathly silence instantly enveloped the bloody place, leaving only Lynn's rapid breathing.
Lynn lay stiffly, staring at the body of the blond boy, as if he couldn't believe that he was still alive.
His throat was so dry that he couldn't make a sound. The tension deep in his soul finally relaxed, and an indescribable feeling of fatigue surged into his heart like a tide.
"I won..."
He murmured softly, a bitter yet relieved smile on his lips.
