Chapter 14 Wolves
midnight.
A little bit of starlight shone, the breeze blew, and the shadow of the tree swayed, and a vague figure was looming.
A gust of wind blew away the branches and leaves that obscured the shadows. Under the dense foliage, one person leaned back on the tree trunk and sat cross-legged. Although his posture was not too correct, he could still feel his intentions at this time.
If it hadn’t been known in advance, no one would have thought that among the trunks of this dense forest, someone would meditate here.
The surrounding quiet environment gradually became noisy. If you listen carefully, you can still hear a certain chewing sound. In this noise, the face of the figure gradually deteriorated.
At this time, Rhodes in meditation did not feel well. The state of mind that had been calmed down, for some reason, was disturbed again.
The effect of meditation is getting worse and worse, and it is replaced by a kind of irritability. No matter how hard Rhodes works, the thoughts in his heart cannot be calmed down. Realizing that the state at this time was not suitable for meditation, Rod opened his eyes.
As soon as he opened his eyes, the perception that had been shielded by meditation stimulated Rod. Rod’s eyes condensed, and he looked in the direction of the perception warning.
In the darkness, a pair of hungry eyes were emitting a terrible green light. Rod took a closer look, and found a pack of wolves underneath.
It turned out that in the process of Lord’s meditation, the bloody smell of the walking corpse and the apprentice’s corpse attracted the hunters in the forest, and it was the pack of wolves in front of him.
Rod looked down. At this time, the wolves were hungry and were eating the remains of the walking corpse. It stands to reason that wolves rarely choose to eat carrion, and only when they are extremely hungry, will they choose to eat cold and hard walking corpses.
During the observation process, Rod discovered an anomaly. Compared to the rotting walking corpse, there was only a wolf next to the apprentice’s fleshy carcass. The rest of the wolves could fight each other for a piece of carrion of the walking corpse, but they did not dare to offend the wolf in front of them.
As the observation deepened, Rod also discovered the abnormality of this wolf. The other wolves swallowed the carrion of the walking corpses with big mouths, and didn’t care about the surrounding situation. Only this wolf looked around at all times while eating, not forgetting to be alert to the surroundings. Not only that, but the size of this wolf is also greater.
Rod knew that this wolf was the king of the wolves.
Rod, who was observing from above, counted it, and the number of this pack of wolves was about ten. Considering his own strength, Rod frowned.
Unlike undead creatures, undead creatures have high health but poor skill and speed. They are restrained by Rhode’s swordsmanship, while wolves are different. Wolves are better at siege, especially at a single target. Although the wolf is not physically better than the previous undead creatures, it is faster, which caused Rhode to have some troubles.
Once surrounded by commanded wolves, he will fall into a very passive position. As long as a wolf rushes to his side and bites on his leg, he will lose a certain amount of mobility, and other wolves can quickly follow and bite together, plus the wolf king on the side…
Rod knew that once a creature like this kind of beast broke through its original position, it would have the ability to use magic. Compared with these ordinary wolves, this wolf king is more threatening.
Assassinate it like an apprentice? Rod hesitated.
Recalling the scene when he assassinated the apprentice, Lord shook his head decisively.
When he jumped out to assassinate the apprentice, the apprentice clearly noticed him and turned his head back, but due to poor physical fitness and lack of melee skills, the apprentice could not dodge.
The wolf king is different. The beast’s instinct to perceive danger allows it to discover itself as soon as it takes action, and its strong physical fitness also allows it to quickly avoid it.
There is no way to assassinate the wolf king. If you fight head-on with the wolves, the outcome is difficult to say. Even if he wins in the end, it can only be a miserable victory by consuming all his attribute points and skill points.
Looking at the pack of wolves in front of him, Luo didn’t have any good solutions for a while.
After carefully recalling all the situations he has experienced so far, suddenly, as if he realized something, Rod’s eyes flashed, and he found a way to win.
In order to use this method, Rod needs some preparation.
Rod got up, moved up the tree trunk to a position where moonlight could reach directly, and then checked the system log.
…………
“…”
“The meditation is over.”
“According to your performance during the meditation process, your maximum mana has increased by 8 points. The current mana is 1414.”
“Shallow meditation can’t get special feedback.”
…………
Enough mana.
After realizing this, Rhode quickly injected mana into the space ring in his hand.
In the attribute panel, the mana is slowly decreasing. When the mana value dropped to 1014, the space ring stopped absorbing mana.
At the same time, Rod also felt that the spatial ring in his hand had established a subtle connection with him. Only one thought of his own would allow his consciousness to penetrate into it and use the objects inside.
Rod let consciousness enter the space ring, which contained two to three cubic meters of space. The first thing that entered Rhode’s perception was a large number of gold coins like a pile of sand, roughly estimated to be about two thousand.
Two books and several scrolls are stacked on top of the gold coins, and two iron swords and an iron shield are placed beside them, which are no different from those previously used by the skeleton warriors. There are dry food and water bags in the corner, some clothing is placed next to it, and a badge is placed on the top of the clothing.
Seeing what he needed, Lord took out the book and scroll, and started to look at it with the help of moonlight.
The cover of one book reads “Basics of Pathfinding”, and the cover of the other book has no words, only some mysterious patterns that do not know the meaning. Rod recognized the patterns drawn on the scroll, which were a lightning bolt, a magic arrow, and two healing wounds.
Seeing a book behind, Lord put the rest of the items back into the space ring, leaving it in his hands only.
When putting back the scrolls, according to the habits developed in the previous life, Rod deliberately separated the positions of the scrolls so that he could take out the scrolls to be used from the space ring at the first time, and then Rod began to read the book that I don’t know. Name book.
Quickly flip through the book in hand. After scanning a few pages, Rod determined that, as he thought, this book was Elott’s magic book.
The magic book is an important tool for the mage to learn spells. Because people’s memory is not strong, with the passage of time and the increase of knowledge, the possibility of mistakes in the memory is increasing, so magic books are needed to help record them.
The magic book allows the mage to jot down the key knowledge learned. At the same time, in order to be able to cast spells accurately, the wizard also needs to copy the spells on the magic book.
Since the mage will use most of the gold coins to learn knowledge and spells, the magic book that records all the knowledge learned by the mage will be extremely precious to the mage, far beyond ordinary treasures.
While reading the magic book, Rhodes used 1 skill point to learn elementary wisdom.
(Elementary Wisdom: By learning the knowledge related to spells, your knowledge has been increased. At the same time, your thinking has also expanded. Various formulas appear in your mind, and you begin to understand the truth contained in spells a little bit. You can learn first-order spells.)
