  After the dark element shield is upgraded to the grandmaster level, Richard plans to focus on improving his Rodrigo Meditation Method.

  Previously, it was mainly because of insufficient energy points. Even if Richard put all his energy points into the extremely difficult Rodrigo Meditation Method, he could not guarantee that he would be promoted to the next level. Now, he has more than 10,000 energy points in his hands, so he can give it a try.

  Secondly, having arrived in this strange place, Richard didn't know when he would be able to return to the Ignis School. If he stayed there for a long time, the necessity of improving his control over meditation would be greatly increased, and it could be said that it would be the first priority.

  Over time, high-level meditation methods will bring great benefits to Richard.

  Pulling his thoughts back, Richard immediately decided to start improving the dark element shield.

  [I found that the host was casting the zero-level witchcraft dark element shield. Yes/No, consume energy to gain inspiration for the zero-level witchcraft dark element shield? ]

  This time, looking at the value of 17130 at the far right end of the slider, Richard thought for a moment and chose to directly drag the slider to 3130 and selected "Yes!"

  In an instant, Richard's soul left his body and came to a dream. The scene in this dream was still in an open grassland. The shadows of three Gale Wolves were staring at him hungrily dozens of meters away.

  Wow, the highest level of difficulty started right at the start! Fortunately, I already had experience dealing with three of them.

  But before Richard could breathe a sigh of relief, the next second, the shadows of the Wind Wolves increased from three to five.

  Holy shit! The number is increasing rapidly.

  Soon, Richard, dressed in rags, was sweating profusely as he dodged and moved on the grassland, trying to cast a dark element shield, and his whole body was covered with scars.

  With the help of a huge amount of inspiration, he has grasped some key points.

  Finally, a boundary was broken by myself all of a sudden, just like the rising sun in the morning, shining brightly as soon as it came out, sweeping away the heavy fog, making the world in front of me clear!

  Richard discovered that the dark element shield, which had been compressed to the extreme by syllables, could be released by him just by reciting a mixed syllable, and it only took 1/5 of a second. Compared with the original one second, the improvement was so great that it was a little unbelievable to him.

  Moreover, Richard now discovered that he seemed to have touched upon the essence of the Dark Elemental Shield, such as why the architecture of this witchcraft model was built in this way, and why there were these five witchcraft runes.

  He even began to compare the differences between the Dark Elemental Shield and the Bone Armor witchcraft runes, and began to consider the possibility of learning from each other's strengths and weaknesses, and being inclusive. However, he had a vague feeling that, firstly, he had to learn the Bone Armor thoroughly, and secondly, his knowledge reserves were still far from enough.

  Richard had a hunch that if he knew more defensive level-0 witchcraft and used it as a reference, the energy points consumed in the above process would be reduced exponentially. On the contrary, if he only knew a few level-0 witchcrafts, the above process would consume a huge amount of energy points.

  After a dizzying moment, the soul returns to its body.

  Richard immediately called up the panel and checked it.

  Dark Elemental Shield (Grandmaster 95%, special effects: rapid casting, thick and thin conversion)

  [Rapid Casting: It only takes 1/5 second to cast a dark element shield.]

  The special effect of the dark element shield was beyond Richard's expectations, but upon closer thought, it made sense.

  Because he recalled the use of the dark element shield, in fact, Richard had always hoped that the casting speed of this zero-level witchcraft could be as fast as possible, and the defense power could be as high as possible. Therefore, the dream or inspiration panel also constantly gave him inspiration in these two aspects.

  So now Richard's dark element shield will have these two special effects.

  Seeing that there were still 14,000 energy points left, Richard decided to strike while the iron was hot and use them directly to improve Rodrigo's meditation method.

  Rodrigo Meditation (Mastery 11%, Special Effect: Primary Energy Saving Casting, Secret Technique: Secondary Mental Shock)

  [I discovered that the host is practicing Rodrigo's Meditation Method. Do you consume energy to gain inspiration for practicing Rodrigo's Meditation Method? ]

  This time, Richard thought about it for a moment and decided to go for the big one. He immediately dragged the slider to 10,000 and selected "Yes!"

  In an instant, Richard's soul wandered into a dream. This time the dream was in the center of a spacious hall. Richard possessed the body of a bald man who was sitting cross-legged and began to meditate.

  With the blessing of his inspirational state, Richard tried again and again, trying to increase the proportion of his mental power participating in the cycle of all seven runes!

  After thousands of attempts, Richard finally increased his mental power participating in the big cycle from the original 31% to 32%, 33%, and gradually to about 91%.

  And the pure mental power in the center, because of this process, became extremely condensed and thick. Richard had a feeling that if the total amount of his mental power was not so small, the power of this extremely pure mental power would have been close to the power of the first-level witchcraft mental shock.

  After a dizzying moment, Richard returned to his original form!

  Rodrigo Meditation (Master 91%, Special Effect: Intermediate Energy-saving Spellcasting, Secret Technique: Secondary Mental Shock)

  [Intermediate Energy-Saving Spellcasting: Reduces the mental energy consumed when casting any spell by 20%.]

  After practicing the master-level Rodrigo meditation method, the feeling of rapid improvement returned.  

  [Attributes]: Strength 4.6, Agility 4.8, Constitution 4.5, Spirit 13.7

  Mental strength increased by 0.2 at once, and other attributes also increased slightly!

  Looking at the remaining 4000 energy points, Richard thought about it and had a preliminary plan, but he was not in a hurry. He planned to rest for a night and think about it tomorrow.

  The next day, when Richard woke up naturally, he found that the sky outside the cave was still extremely dark, but he was sure that if calculated according to the time on the surface, it should be daytime now.

  Richard strode out of the cave and discovered that it was indeed daytime outside, but this kind of daytime in the Underdark was about five or six o'clock on the surface, dim and dim, with visibility of only a few dozen meters.

  The nights in the Underdark are darker than the nights on the surface. I remember last night, even though there were all kinds of luminous plants and insects, and there were star-like lights overhead, it was still much darker than the nights on the surface.

  Richard looked around as far as he could and found that the area he was in was lush with vegetation, similar to a rainforest.

  But he had almost never seen most of the plants. He only knew a few ferns, including the tree also tree, the staghorn fern, etc.

  Moreover, there are many small and wild animals here. Although Richard did not bring much food, he should have no problem getting food by hunting.

  The main problem now is how to get back.

  Richard concentrated on thinking, and after a while, he basically had an idea.

  Preliminary analysis shows that there are two ways. One is to return by the original route, that is, to go back through the teleportation array in the fishman tribe.

  But the problem is to deal with the high-level magic stones. I believe that there must be intermediate magic stones in the fishman tribe, but it is not certain about high-level magic stones. However, now that we have the Soul-Eating Demon Spider, this will be clear after a quick investigation.

  The second way is to go back. At present, the three major wizarding schools and the night elves are fighting each other.

  Obviously, this murloc tribe is under the jurisdiction of the night elves, but this time the three major wizard schools have counterattacked into the night elves' lair. Presumably, the distance between the two places should not be too far, but the risk is extremely high. In the place where the official wizard war is taking place, crossing the battlefield is playing with your life!

  Therefore, if you can return through the teleportation array, it is undoubtedly the first choice.

  After making up his mind, Richard started hunting, intending to get some food and drink to replenish his physical and mental strength, and then find an opportunity later to explore the camp of the merman tribe.

  "Puff, chick!" Something similar to a pheasant flapped its wings and flew out.

  In the fern bushes near the cave, a skinless and headless monster with exposed muscles was driving a number of animals towards Richard's direction.

  Because he was worried that some monsters might suddenly appear, Richard was very cautious in arranging three skeletons to guard him during this hunt, while he held the bow and arrow and aimed forward.

  Suddenly, an animal that looked like a deer with yellow and black stripes jumped out, and then some unknown animals such as wild boars and pheasants ran out from the bushes. This chaotic scene was caused by the brain-eating monster possessed by the Soul-Eating Demon Spider, which was driving the monsters from behind.

  "Swish, swish, swish!" Richard shot several heavy arrows and immediately reaped a great harvest. Many snakes, mice, deer and insects were nailed to the ground by the sharp arrows and kept struggling.

  Giant insects? Throw them away, don't eat them, they're gross.

  Snake? Throw it away. Don't eat it. I'm afraid it's poisonous.

  In the end, Richard chose the animal he named the striped deer, began to skin and remove the internal organs, and took out salt and a powdery substance similar to a mixture of cumin and chili from his bag for later use.

  He planned to eat deer steaks, so after cutting off the belly ribs, he prepared to grill them.

  For Richard, lighting a fire was as easy as taking something out of a bag.

  Although Richard's affinity for fire element was only low, with his current mental strength, he was already able to gather the fire element and ignite it easily.

  Then, Richard was seen waving his hands back and forth over several pieces of plump venison chops, sprinkling seasonings and salt on them several times, and an enticing aroma wafted into the air.

  This is Richard's homemade, medium-rare grilled venison steak.

  He took a bite, the meat was juicy and tender, and the unique aroma of meat filled Richard's mouth.

  "Not bad! It tastes amazing. I haven't eaten something so delicious in a long time!" Richard muttered to himself as he started to eat with relish.

  Yes, it has been several months since I last ate on the second floor of the school!

  I don't know if it's Richard's illusion. Although this is the Underdark, a completely unfamiliar environment, I feel very comfortable. The number of free dark element particles in the air is a little more than that on the surface.

  Richard made a preliminary calculation and found that the shadow magic cast here seemed to be more powerful than on the surface, with an increase of about 10%.

  From this perspective, Richard seemed to understand a little bit, why the three major schools of undead wizards were not afraid of the underground races at all. After all, the Underdark was like their own home court.
