  Chapter 7 Meditation

Following a flash of thought, Rhodes quickly climbed to the exit of the tomb A big tree beside it. The branches of the tree are sturdy and Rhodes can easily stand on it.

Standing on the branches of the tree, Rhodes found a position with dense foliage, good for concealment, and a good angle to observe the ground in his opinion.

Rhodes looks down and can take in the entire scene with a range of tens of meters on the surface. With the eagle eye technique he has learned, he can even see the position of every fallen leaf on the ground. Clearly. Farther away, it is impossible to see clearly due to the occlusion of branches and leaves.

"This location...seems to be easy to find..."

Yes, Rhodes didn't plan to run away when he judged that the undead mage apprentice was about to return, but planned to stay and think. way to kill him.

Due to the characteristics of undead creatures, for Rhodes, without the control of the undead mage, no amount of undead creatures are just cannon fodder for fighting by instinct.

In other words, as long as Rhodes can successfully assassinate the undead mage, a group of undead creatures originally controlled by the undead mage cannot pose a threat to Rhodes, and Rhodes can turn them all into his own EXP.

This is a good opportunity for the current Rhodes to improve their strength, but there is a slight risk that Rhodes must successfully assassinate the returning undead mage. Otherwise, under the control of the undead mage, a group of undead creatures with tactics and mutual cooperation cannot be easily solved.

According to Rhodes' idea, in order to find the timing of assassination, there are only two suitable places to hide. One is in the tomb. The undead mage apprentice will definitely enter the tomb after discovering that someone has come, and when he enters, he can find an opportunity to assassinate.

However, the vigilance of the undead mage will be raised to the highest level when entering the tomb, and the risk of unsuccessful assassination is too great. If they were found in the tomb, they would not be able to escape.

Another good place to hide is in the tree where Rhodes is currently standing. Due to the limitations of human vision, the branches and leaves on the tree are basically ignored as long as there is no abnormality at first sight.

This is why Rhodes chose the tree as a hiding place. However, the current location of Rhodes is not particularly hidden, and it is difficult for the branches and leaves to cover up the specific figure. Standing at the exit of the tomb and looking up, you can find the abnormality.

Due to the superposition of foliage and foliage, the higher the chosen location is, the harder it is to be found. But if you choose a position too high on the tree trunk, you may break your leg if you immediately jump out and fail to assassinate.

Without the blessing of relevant special skills, Rhodes alone cannot choose the best hiding position in a short period of time.

Without hesitation, Rhodes chose to use a little skill point to learn primary level reconnaissance in order to increase the success rate of assassination.

(primary level reconnaissance: Through continuous practice, your reconnaissance ability has been improved. You have learned to judge the enemy's movements through various residual traces. Under the circumstance, I also have some experience in observing the enemy safely. Detection range +2, perception ability +1.)

After learning primary level reconnaissance, Rhodes felt that he had gained an indescribable improvement. Instead of directly injecting some knowledge into one's mind, this kind of improvement of oneself is more like some experience, a kind of instinct.

The previously selected location seems to have a lot of loopholes in Rhodes at present, not to mention that you can see it at a glance on the ground, and you can even find yourself at a slightly far away location.

Rhodes hurried to another location. The new position is higher than the previous position, and the field of vision is better covering all the directions to be observed. The surrounding branches and leaves are lush, and the trunk of the tree is not far away. If necessary, you can use the trunk to hide yourself. Generally speaking, it is more hidden than the previous position.

Perhaps it is the perception bonus brought by learning reconnaissance. After sitting in the selected position on the trunk, Rhodes does not want to let time pass in vain. Rhodes is ready to return before the undead mage. meditate during this time.

Meditation is the foundation of unleashing magic and is the 1st Step for every sorcerer to learn spell.

Meditation increases the mana of the sorcerer. Whether it is an orthodox sorcerer, a sorcerer, or an undead mage, it takes mana to release magic. And meditation is the way to increase mana.

For players, the greatest magic power value that can be achieved by meditation is generally the knowledge in the character attribute*10. Certain treasures and special skills can also increase the maximum magic power value.

Before meditating, the most great magic power of a normal sorcerer is 0, but there are also some who are born with mana, such as mana heroes, and some mutant monsters.

For monsters, casting magic is more like their innate talent instinct, rather than relying on meditation to increase mana like sorcerer.

Rhodes sits cross-legged on a tree trunk, ready to enter into meditation.

Meditation does not require a specific environment and posture, but for beginners of meditation, they need to improve the quality of their meditation through some external factors. For example, a quiet room can definitely stimulate people's attention more than a noisy environment, and sitting cross-legged can concentrate one's mind more than other postures.

Meditation is not an unfamiliar practice to Rhodes due to numerous meditations in past lives. The increased perception ability also allows Rhodes to end his meditation immediately upon the return of the undead mage apprentice.

Rhodes closed his eyes and sat motionless in the tree. Looking from a distance, I can only see that my chest rises and falls slightly with my breathing. apart from this, there is no other movement, the whole person seems to be still. Rhodes didn't respond, even though a few leaves floated on him.

As time passed, Rhodes focused his thoughts on his own perception. All the wind and the chirping of various creatures seemed to go away, leaving only the center of his own spirit.

This is different from the decrease in perception of the outside world caused by mental distraction when people are sleepy, but a natural decrease in perception of the outside world after focusing all their attention on the interior.

Even though the surrounding woods were still noisy, Rhodes quickly entered a state of meditation.

For those who are just starting out in meditation, past life experience is not very useful. Past life experiences are more about ways to improve the quality of meditation, and some tips for deep meditation. Being able to enter into a state of meditation so quickly is more dependent on Rhodes' own will.

After entering the state of meditation, Rhodes began to perceive the magical elements one by one in his consciousness. Next, what Rhodes needs to do is the most important point in the meditation process, allowing his spiritual consciousness to communicate with the magic element until it can accept it.

As time passed, the meditating Rhodes frowned. Since Rhodes' current body has no magical innate talent, he is not sensitive to the surrounding magical elements, and has been unable to effectively absorb the magical elements, which makes Rhodes a little irritable.

Fortunately, at this time, the experience of meditating many times in the previous life is reflected. The more this time is, the less anxious it is. After realizing that his heart was not calm, Rhodes slowed down his inner emotions in time. Even if he couldn't absorb the magic element temporarily, Rhodes was no longer impatient.

Finally, with Rhodes' unremitting efforts, Rhodes' spirit began to establish a connection with the surrounding magic elements, and the magic elements began to move closer to Rhodes.

At this point, if Rhodes sees the attribute panel, he will find that his mana has changed from 0/0 to 1/1.
