Following the flash of thought in his mind, Rhodes quickly climbed up a big tree next to the exit of the tomb. The branches of the tree were thick, and Rhodes could easily stand on it.
Standing on the branches of the tree, Rhodes found a position that he thought had dense branches and leaves, which was good for concealment and at a good angle to observe the ground.
Rhodes looked down and could see dozens of meters above the ground. With the eagle eye technique he had learned, he could even clearly see the position of every fallen leaf on the ground. Even farther away
It is difficult to see clearly due to the obstruction of branches and leaves.
"This location...seems to be easily discovered..."
Yes, when Rhodes judged that the Necromancer apprentice was about to return, he did not plan to run away, but planned to stay and find a way to assassinate him.
Due to the characteristics of undead creatures, for Rhodes, without the control of the necromancer, no matter how many undead creatures are, they are just cannon fodder fighting with instinct.
In other words, as long as Rhodes can successfully assassinate the Necromancer, the group of undead creatures originally controlled by the Necromancer will not pose a threat to Rhodes, and Rhodes can turn them into his own experience points.
This is a good opportunity for the current Rhodes to improve his strength, but there is a bit of risk. Rhodes must successfully assassinate the returning Necromancer. Otherwise, under the control of the Necromancer, a group of undead creatures with tactics and cooperation will not be able to
It can be solved easily.
According to Rhodes' idea, in order to find the opportunity to assassinate, there are only two places suitable for hiding. One is in the tomb. The necromancer apprentice will definitely enter the tomb after finding someone coming, and when he enters, he can find an opportunity.
assassination.
However, the Necromancer's vigilance will be raised to the highest level when entering the tomb, and the risk of failed assassination is too high. If he is discovered in the tomb, he will not be able to escape.
Another suitable place to hide is the tree where Rhodes is currently. Due to the limitations of human vision, the branches and leaves on the tree will basically be ignored as long as no abnormalities are found at first glance.
past.
This is also the reason why Rhodes chose a tree as a hiding place. However, Rhodes' current location is not particularly hidden, and the branches and leaves cannot cover up his specific figure. You can find something unusual if you stand at the exit of the tomb and look up.
Due to the superimposed coverage of branches and leaves, the higher the position you choose from the ground, the harder it will be to find. However, if you choose a position too high on the tree trunk, if you fail to jump out and assassinate at the first time, you may break your leg.
Without the blessing of relevant special skills, it was difficult for Rhodes to choose the best hiding location in a short time by himself.
Without hesitation for long, in order to increase the success rate of the assassination, Rhodes chose to use some skill points to learn basic reconnaissance techniques.
(Elementary reconnaissance technique: Through continuous practice, your reconnaissance ability has been improved. You have learned to judge the enemy's movements through various remaining traces. At the same time, you have also gained a certain understanding of how to safely observe the enemy without being discovered.
My experience. Detection range 2, perception ability 1.)
After learning the basic reconnaissance technique, Rhodes felt that he had gained an indescribable improvement. It was not that some knowledge was directly injected into his mind. For his own improvement, it was more like some experience and an instinct.
.
It seems to Rhodes that the location he chose previously has quite a few loopholes. Not only can he see it by looking up from the ground, but he can also be found from a slightly further distance.
Rhodes quickly moved to another position. The new position was higher than the previous position, and the field of view better covered all the directions to be observed. There were lush branches and leaves around, and not far away was the trunk of the tree. You can use the trunk if necessary.
Hide yourself. Generally speaking, it is more hidden than the previous position.
Perhaps it was the perception bonus brought by the acquired reconnaissance surgery. After sitting on the tree trunk and choosing a position, Rhodes did not want to let time pass in vain. Rhodes planned to use the time before the Necromancer returned.
Practice meditation.
Meditation is the foundation of magic and is the first step for every spellcaster in learning spells.
Meditation can expand the mana of the caster. Whether it is an orthodox spellcaster, a sorcerer, or a necromancer, all mana needs to be consumed when releasing magic. Meditation is the way to increase mana.
For players, the maximum mana that can be achieved through meditation is generally knowledge *10 in character attributes. Certain treasures and special skills can also increase the maximum mana.
Before meditating, the maximum mana value of an ordinary spellcaster is 0, but there are also some beings who are born with mana, such as mana-based heroes and some mutant monsters.
For monsters, releasing magic is more like their natural instinct, rather than having to rely on meditation to increase their mana like spellcasters.
Rhodes sat cross-legged on the tree trunk, preparing to enter the meditation stage.
Meditation does not require a specific environment or posture, but for beginners of meditation, it is necessary to improve the quality of their meditation through some external factors. For example, being in a quiet room is definitely more stimulating than a noisy environment.
, and sitting cross-legged can also help you concentrate better than other postures.
Since he had meditated countless times in his previous life, meditation was not an unfamiliar behavior to Rhodes. The improvement in his perception also allowed Rhodes to end his meditation as soon as the Necromancer Apprentice returned.
Rhodes closed his eyes and sat motionless on the tree. Looking from a distance, he could only see his chest rising and falling slightly with his breathing. Apart from that, there was no other movement. The whole person seemed to be still. Even if there was
A few leaves floated to Rhodes, but Rhodes didn't react at all.
Time passed slowly, and Rhodes' thoughts focused on his own perception. All the sounds of the wind and the screams of various creatures around him seemed to fade away, leaving only the center of his spirit.
This is different from the decrease in perception of the outside world caused by mental distraction when a person is sleepy, but the natural reduction in perception of the outside world after focusing all the attention on the inside.
Even though the environment in the surrounding forest was still noisy, Rhodes quickly entered a state of trance.
For those who have just started to meditate, the experience of past lives is of little use. The experience of past lives is more about methods to improve the quality of meditation, as well as some tips for deep meditation. Being able to enter a meditative state so quickly depends more on
According to Rhodes' own will.
After entering a state of trance, Rhodes began to perceive magic elements one by one in his consciousness. Next, what Rhodes has to do is the most important point in the meditation process, which is to let his spiritual consciousness communicate with the magic elements.
Until it can be accepted.
As time slowly passed, Rhodes gradually frowned while meditating. Since Rhodes' current body has no magic talent and is not sensitive to the surrounding magic elements, he has been unable to effectively absorb magic elements. This
Rhodes couldn't help but feel a little irritated.
Fortunately, at this time, the experience of many times of meditation in the previous life was reflected. The more this time, the less anxious. After realizing that his heart was not calm, Rhodes slowed down his inner emotions in time, even if he could not absorb them temporarily.
With magic elements, Rhodes is no longer impatient.
Finally, with Rhode's unremitting efforts, Rhode's spirit began to establish contact with the surrounding magical elements, and the magical elements began to move closer to Rhodes.
At this time, if Rhodes sees the attribute panel, he will find that his mana value has changed from 0/0 to 1/1.
