Ruian's eyes widened and he found that it was pitch black ahead and he couldn't see anything. He was a little flustered now and didn't know what to do.
"Get close to him and plot against him? It's too dark to see clearly."
"Don't worry about it for now, and then we'll see."
Ruian didn't dare to stand there anymore, as it would be easy for others to spot him. Ruian touched the grass beside him, lay down, and hid in the grass, while his eyes were fixed in the direction of the magician, hoping to see something.
Time passed like this little by little. Ruian calculated in his mind that almost two or three hours had passed. At this time, the sky was already gray and white, and the direction of the magician was no longer pitch black.
At this time, Ryan discovered that the magician had not moved and was still standing in the hole, with a black shadow of his head on the ground.
"What is he doing? Is he doing magician meditation? Such a strange way of meditating, you have to take off your clothes? Abnormal." Ryan has been wondering what the magician is doing.
After a while, Ryan noticed that the magician's head seemed to move, and immediately the top of the magic wand that had been stuck on the ground lit up with a thin light.
Then the magician slowly climbed out of the hole. He looked a little weak when naked. The magician took out clothes from the bag and put them on. He also picked up some branches and leaves from the ground next to him to block the entrance of the hole on the ground.
After doing all this, the magician checked it carefully again. Finally, he put the magic wand into the bag and slowly returned along the original path.
Ryan was still lying in the grass without moving, even though the magician had disappeared from sight.
He didn't want to follow him any longer because he thought of a way to take revenge on the magician.
After waiting for a moment to confirm that the magician had indeed gone away, Ryan got up from the grass.
At this time, the sky was already bright. The sun shone into the woods, and the situation ahead could be vaguely seen.
Ryan walked to the hole where the magician stood before and observed it carefully.
This is a small flat land. There are no trees within five meters of the hole, but it is surrounded by several trees as thick as a person five meters away. There is nothing surprising about the flat land, except for the hole in the middle, which is blocked by branches.
Ruian carefully opened the branch and found that it was just a very ordinary hole in the ground.
The width of the hole is about half a meter, just enough for one person to get in. The depth of the hole is about half a person's height. This depth is based on the magician's head exposed on the ground after he got in. It is estimated that the magician is sitting in the hole.
"What is the magician doing in this cave? Meditating? But why does he have to take off his clothes? Strange." Ruian was puzzled.
"Try to sit in like a magician." Ryan suddenly became interested and imitated the magician and sat in the hole, with only his head exposed on the ground. Of course, Ryan did not take off his clothes like the magician.
After a while, Ryan couldn't feel anything different.
"It seems that this is the magician's secret. But this secret does provide me with an opportunity for revenge. I hope he will come back at midnight tomorrow, haha..." Ruian sneered in his heart.
Ryan stood up and observed the situation around him. As the sky became brighter and brighter, the situation in the woods became more and more clearly visible.
Ruian found that the trees around the plain were of varying heights. The tall trees were five or six meters high, with trunks as thick as a human body. The low trees were only over two meters tall, and the trunks were only as thick as an arm.
Ryan carefully thought about the plan to ambush the magician in his mind, and then according to the plan, he selected a tree that was five or six meters tall and had lush leaves. This tree was six or seven meters away from the hole, and there was another tree in the middle.
A shorter tree.
Ruian climbed to the top of the tree. There were three forked branches on the top of the tree, which was just big enough for Ruian to sit on. Then Ruian looked toward the hole. From this position, he could clearly see the hole.
Ruian estimated the distance between the top of the tree and the hole, which was about ten meters. This distance was barely within the range of an arrow.
"Now there is a problem. It's dark in the middle of the night and I can't aim." Ruian thought for a moment and came up with an idea. "By the way, aim the arrow first and fix it on the tree trunk. Then just pull the handle and launch."
.”
Ruian thought about the details again and made some preparations. For example, Ruian felt that the leaves of this tree were not thick enough to completely cover himself hiding in the tree, so he went to cut some leaves from a distance and set them up here.
On the top of a tree.
After getting ready, Ryan left the woods and returned to the blacksmith shop.
…………
When Ruian went out again, it was almost evening.
Ryan wore black clothes and used a large piece of black cloth to wrap the sword body of the sword stick to reduce the possibility of being discovered in the woods.
Ryan came to the woods, on the top of the tree he had chosen earlier.
He took out the crossbow, unstrung the string, loaded the crossbow with an arrow, and then tied the crossbow to the tree trunk with a long strip of cloth. He adjusted the angle of the crossbow while tying it until the crossbow was aimed at the hole slightly above the ground. This place
It's probably the position of the magician's neck when he reveals his head. Of course, accurate aiming will have to be adjusted slightly after the magician sits in the hole.
After preparing the crossbow, Ryan piled some leaves prepared in the morning beside himself and the crossbow to provide cover.
Afterwards, Ryan lay comfortably on the tree trunk, waiting for nightfall and the arrival of the magician.
Time flew by quickly, and it was already late at night.
The surroundings were so dark that he couldn't see his fingers, which made Ruian feel a little nervous when he was alone on the tree.
Fortunately, this forest is in Kata City, which is a scenic place on weekdays. Except for some small insects, there is not even a wild beast, not to mention Warcraft, and it is very safe. Otherwise, Ruian would not dare to stay there at all.
In this forest, even magicians probably wouldn't dare.
Waiting for a long time is very painful, and it also tests people's patience. Especially Ruian was not a very patient person in his previous life, so now Ruian keeps comforting himself while waiting: "What a good person this is."
It’s an opportunity to practice patience.”
As a result, after waiting and waiting until midnight, the magician did not show up. This made Ryan impatient, but it was not easy to give up midway at this time, so he had to continue to persevere.
As if God was playing a joke on Ryan, the magician still didn't show up until dawn.
This made Ruian feel like a fire was stuck in his chest. He had to run far away and chop down some trees with a sword stick to vent his anger, which made him feel better.
"What should we do next?" Ruian said fiercely, "We will continue to wait tonight."
…………
It was evening again. Before going to the woods this time, Ryan went to the hotel door and spent 5 silver coins to get the news from the waiter that the magician still lived in the hotel. Then he made the same arrangement as yesterday and hid in the top of the tree.
wait on.
"What's this? It's just waiting for something to happen. I was stupid for a while, hoping that this damn guy would show up tonight." Ryan prayed silently in his heart.
Finally, God pays off.
At midnight, a light slowly approached.
"This must be the arrival of the magician, right?"
Ryan began to get nervous, and his hands couldn't help but tremble slightly.
"I'm going to take revenge! I'm going to kill someone!"
How unimaginable this was in the previous life!
Ruian gritted his teeth, clenched his fists with both hands, and cursed himself in his heart.
"It's really useless. How can I do big things with this little courage?"
"This is no longer the world of the past life. Killing people and killing others is very common. As long as others don't know about it, no one will investigate the consequences. Even if I don't kill people, others will kill me for some reasons.
"
"Others kill me, and I kill others in revenge. This is a matter of course. No need to be afraid, no need to feel guilty, no need to be nervous..."
In this way, Ryan slowly relaxed, then slowed down his breathing and stopped all movements to prevent being discovered by the magician.
The light is getting closer.
Ryan could already see the figure of the magician. The magician's outfit was similar to the night before. He was dressed like an ordinary person and held a magic wand in his hand. The top of the magic wand lit up with a light, like an oil lamp.
The magician walked to the small flat ground, but just three or four meters away from the cave, the magician stopped suddenly, and then looked around, as if he was looking for something.
"Damn it, did the magician discover some flaw?" Ruian couldn't help but feel excited.
