Richard looked at the white crow, and the white crow looked at him, and they looked at each other.

Richard's eyes narrowed slightly, and an uncomfortable feeling of being watched was born and grew stronger.

Without being polite, Richard raised his hand and aimed at the white crow, and the free energy elements in his body began to surge.

But at this moment, as if sensing danger, the white crow quickly flew up from the bare tree and flew into the distance, and disappeared from view after a while.

After Richard looked at it, he squinted and put his hand down, and the free energy elements in his body calmed down little by little, and he withdrew the source of the law in his body.

"Is this giving up surveillance? Or is it going to be monitored in a more discreet way? Or is it ...... It's all just my delusion?" said to himself, and the next moment without saying anything more, he whipped the horses under his buttocks, and walked forward.

But...... It didn't take long for the horse to pull the reins and stop again.

The reason for this is because I came to a river.

The surface of the river is not frozen, and the water is flowing in a hurry. A wooden bridge was erected over the river, and it looked like it could be crossed, but in the middle of the wooden bridge, I don't know what damage had been done, and the bridge deck was several meters wide - empty, and if you want to pass on a horse, you will definitely fall down.

The river in the river is very turbulent, and the depth is unknown, so it is obviously not a good choice to flow directly through it, and it is not a good choice to follow the river to find a second wooden bridge that can cross the river, and I don't know when to find it.

Richard thought about this, his eyebrows slightly raised, and then he made a decision.

With a flip of his hand, Richard took out a black cloth from the spatial iron ring, put it over the horse's eyes, adjusted the direction of the horse, let the horse walk onto the bridge, and then picked up the whip and whipped it hard.

"Bang Bang!"

The horses were hit by the whip on the buttocks, and they were very painful, and under the stimulus, they stepped on the bridge and ran forward frantically, and their speed increased rapidly, so that they reached the missing position of the bridge deck.

"Boom!"

The horse's hooves stamped on the bridge deck and their bodies jumped. With a quick wave of his hand, Richard, who was on his horse, unleashed a spell that condensed the air and filled the missing bridge.

The horses landed on the surface of the condensed air, and with a sudden stroke of force, they crossed the missing bridge deck, stepped on the real bridge board, and in a short time, they reached the other side of the river.

After crossing the bridge, Richard removed the black cloth covering his horses, looked back at the broken bridge, thoughtfully, but did not stop, and continued to move on.

"Bang!

Horses' hooves sounded, the river was left behind, a grove appeared, and the road became rough.

A human scream of pain wafted in, and Richard saw a man dressed as a woodcutter half-kneeling on the side of the road, holding a water bladder in one hand, and pouring the water in it towards the other.

Seeing Richard appear, the other party looked at him and kindly advised: "Boy, are you in a hurry and are ready to continue walking?" I advise you that it is best to take a detour, because I don't know when I am ahead, a large demon tree suddenly grows, and I accidentally touch their sap, so I make my hand look like this, and if you try to pass through them on horseback, it will definitely be worse than me." ”

"Demon Tree?" Richard's eyes flashed as he heard the woodcutter's words, and he said in a loud voice, "Then I really know it." ”

So saying, Richard rode forward, and the woodcutter shouted at the back to dissuade him, as if he had not heard.

Soon, Richard saw the Demon Tree.

In the field of vision, a large patch of slender withered yellow plants appeared, with some wilted branches and leaves, crumpled and clinging to the stems, which did not look dangerous, except for the height, it was not very different from the crops in the farmland.

Richard glanced at it twice and said slowly: "It turned out to be a big pigweed." ”

Well, the great hogweed, which the woodcutter called the "devil tree", is the plant of the modern earth - the great hogweed.

The name sounds rustic, but it's not to be underestimated.

This plant, called grass, is actually more like a tree and can reach a height of up to six meters. This is nothing, the danger is that after it breaks off the branches and leaves, a milky white juice will flow out of the fracture. The juice is highly irritating, and once it comes into contact with the human skin, it will immediately produce a serious burning effect, and if it accidentally enters the eyes, it can cause blindness.

Richard looked at the dense large pigweed in front of him, but he was not afraid, and rushed forward, and the spell was released, separating the many large pigweeds with air, and blocking the milky white liquid splashed out of some broken branches, and passed easily.

After passing, Richard continued to walk through the woods, and soon found a wooden sign nailed to the trunk of a tree in the woods, and the surface of the wooden sign was written crookedly in red paint, as if to remind passers-by: "Recently, there are wolves in front of the woods, and passers-by had better detour or gather enough people to move forward." If you don't listen, you do it at your own risk. ”

"Wolves?" Richard said in a somewhat playful tone, without slowing down.

I don't know if it's too much of a coincidence, just a few miles away, wolf howls sounded in the forest.

"W-hmm!"

"W-hmm!"

"W-hmm!"

Dark shadows sprang out of the woods, surrounding the horses and Richard on them.

Richard squinted at the more than twenty green wolves surrounding him, without any verbosity, and waved his hand to release a "single-ring explosion".

The spark the size of a date flew out and landed precisely into the mouth of a wolf, exploding quickly.

With a "boom", the entire head of the unlucky green wolf was shattered, and he didn't even have time to wail, so he fell down with a thud.

When the rest of the green wolves saw the fate of their companions, they couldn't help but be furious, and they pounced on them in unison.

Richard, who was riding on the horse, unceremoniously released a "Wind Blow", which bounced off all the green wolves that pounced on him, and then continuously released the "Single Ring Explosion" spell, killing them one by one.

In a short time, many green wolves turned into charred corpses, and the rest fled in a panic with their tails between them.

In place, silence returned, except for the horses slightly restless and digging through the dirt, while Richard on horseback had a slightly gloomy expression.

For him, if he was only suspicious before, and now he is in trouble one after another, it has been determined: secretly, there should be a mastermind behind the scenes, deliberately blocking his trip and delaying his time.

Broken bridges are, big hogweed is, wolves are even more.

He didn't know how the people behind it did all this. But what is certain is that moving on, there will definitely be more troubles to come.

What is the purpose of the mastermind behind this, and what is his identity?

Richard thought about it, thought for a long time and didn't have an accurate answer, the white crow he had seen before flashed in his mind, pursed his lips, and took a deep breath to move forward.

He's ready to see what the hell is going to do and how much trouble he's going to have in store for him!

"Boom, boom, boom......"
