  Chapter 14 Wolves

Midnight.

The little starlight sprinkled down, the breeze blew, and the tree shadows swayed, a vague silhouette faintly discernible.

A gust of wind blew away the foliage that obscured the silhouette. I saw a man leaning against the trunk of the tree and sitting cross-legged under the dense leaves. Although his posture was not too upright, he could feel his intentions at this time.

Without prior knowledge, no one would have thought that among the tree trunks in this jungle, there would be people meditating here.

The surrounding quiet environment gradually became noisy, and in this noise, silhouette's face gradually deteriorated.

At this point, Rhodes in meditation is not feeling well. The mood that had already calmed down was disturbed again for some unknown reason.

The effect of meditation is getting worse and worse, replaced by a kind of irritability, no matter how hard Rhodes tries, the thoughts in his heart can never be calmed down. Rhodes opened his eyes after realizing that the state was not suitable for meditation.

As soon as he opened his eyes, the perception that had been shielded by meditation stimulated Rhodes, Rhodes expression congeals, and looked in the direction of the perception warning.

In the darkness, a pair of hungry eyes are exuding pale green rays of light. Rhodes took a closer look and saw a pack of wolves underneath.

It turned out that during Rhodes' meditation, the smell of blood in the forest attracted the hunters in the forest to come, and it was the wolves in front of him.

Rhodes looked down, and the wolves at this time were seizing the hard-won opportunity to eat.

It stands to reason that wolves rarely choose to eat carrion, and only choose to do so when they are extremely hungry. To be able to force the ferocious wolves to this extent, obviously, this jungle is not as peaceful as Rhodes originally thought.

During the observation process, Rhodes discovered an anomaly, that is, there was only a wolf next to the body of the previous apprentice. The rest of the wolves can fight each other for a piece of carrion, but they dare not offend the wolf in front of them in the slightest.

As the observations deepened, Rhodes also discovered something unusual about the wolf.

Compared with other wolves in the wolf pack, this wolf is larger in size, apart from this, in its eyes, there is a hint of cunning aura from time to time.

Rhodes knew that this wolf was the Wolf King of the pack.

Rhodes, observed from above, counted about ten wolves in the pack. Considering his own strength, Rhodes frowned.

Different from undead creatures, undead creatures have high health, but poor skill and speed, so they are restrained by Rhodes' sword technique, while wolves are different. Wolves are better at siege, especially siege a single target.

The pack of wolves in front of them, although not as physique as the previous undead creatures, was faster, which caused some trouble for Rhodes.

Once you are surrounded by wolves with command, you will fall into a very passive situation. As long as a wolf rushes to his side and hurts his leg, he will lose a certain amount of mobility, and other wolves can quickly follow and bite together, plus the Wolf King next to him...

Rhodes knew that such wild beast creatures would have the ability to use magic once they had broken through their original ranks. Compared with these ordinary wolves, the threat is this Wolf King.

Assassin it like an apprentice? Rhodes hesitated. Maybe after assassinating Wolf King, the rest of the wolves will take the initiative to flee because of cowardice.

Recalling the scene when he assassinated his apprentice, Rhodes decisively shook the head.

When he jumped out to assassinate the apprentice, the apprentice clearly noticed himself and turned his head back, but due to his poor physical fitness and lack of skills in the near battle, the apprentice failed to dodge. .

The Wolf King is different. The wild beast's instinct to perceive danger allows it to find itself as soon as it shoots, and its strong physical fitness also allows it to quickly evade.

There is no way to assassinate the Wolf King. If you fight against the wolves head on, the outcome is hard to say. Even if he wins in the end, it can only be a terribly wounded victory that spends all attribute points and skill points.

Looking at the pack of wolves in front of him, Rhodes had nothing to do for a while.

Recalling all the situations he's been through so far, and suddenly, as if realizing something, Rhodes' eyes flashed with dive light, and he'd found a way to win.

In order to use this method, Rhodes needs some preparation.

Rhodes got up, moved up the tree trunk where the moonlight could reach, and then checked the system log.

…………

“…”

“Meditation is over.”

“Based on your performance during the meditation session , your maximum mana has been increased by 8. Currently 14/14 mana."

"Special feedback is not available for low-level meditation."

…………

Enough mana.

Recognizing this, Rhodes quickly poured mana into the space ring in his hand.

In the attribute panel, the mana is slowly decreasing. When mana drops to 10/14, the space ring stops absorbing mana.

At the same time, Rhodes also felt that the space ring in his hand had established a subtle connection with himself, and he only needed a single thought of his own, and his own consciousness could penetrate into it and use it. the item.

Rhodes brings consciousness into the space ring, which contains two to three cubic meters of space. The first thing that Rhodes perceives is a large number of gold coins like sand piles, roughly estimated to be around 2,000.

Above the gold coin are stacked two books and several scrolls, and next to it are two iron swords and an iron shield, not unlike those used by the previous skeleton warriors. There are dry food and water bags in the corner, some clothes are placed next to them, and a badge is placed above the clothes.

Seeing the item he needed, Rhodes took out the book and scroll, and began to look at it by moonlight.

The cover of one book reads "The Fundamentals of Pathfinding", and the cover of the other book has no text, only some mysterious and meaningless patterns. Rhodes recognized the patterns drawn on the scrolls, which were a Thunderbolt Lightning, a Magic Divine Arrow, and two Healing Wounds.

Seeing the book behind, Rhodes put the rest of the item back on the space ring, leaving it only in his hands.

When putting the scroll back, Rhodes deliberately placed the scroll position separately according to the habit he had acquired in his previous life, so that he could immediately take out the scroll to be used from the space ring, and then Rhodes began to read The unknown book.

Quickly flipping through the book in his hand, Rhodes decided after a few pages that it was, as he thought, Elliot's magic book.

The magic book is an important tool for mage in learning spell. Because people's memory is not strong, with the passage of time and the increase of knowledge, the probability of mistakes in memory is getting bigger and bigger, so magic books are needed to help record.

The magic book allows mage to jot down key learnings. At the same time, in order to accurately display the spell, mage also needs to transcribe the spell on the magic book.

Since mage will use most of the gold coins to learn knowledge and spells, the magic book that records all the knowledge that mage has learned will be extremely precious to mage, especially for those with higher rank For their mage, the value of the magic book in their hands is far beyond the ordinary treasure.

While flipping through the magic book, Rhodes uses 1 skill point to learn primary level wisdom.

(primary level wisdom: by learning spell-related knowledge, your knowledge has been increased. At the same time, your thinking has also expanded. Various formulas appear in your mind, and you start to slightly Understand what's in spell. You can learn the First Rank spell.)
