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 he felt an uncomfortable feeling of being spied on, which grew stronger and 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, the white crow seemed to sense the danger, and quickly flew up from the bare tree branches, flew into the distance, and disappeared from sight soon.
After Li Cha looked at it, he squinted and put his hands down. The free energy elements in his body calmed down little by little, and he took back the source of magic in his body.
"Are you giving up surveillance? Or are you planning to switch to a more secretive way of surveillance? Or... is everything just my illusion?" Richard said to himself, and without saying anything else the next moment, he whipped him with a whip He checked his horse's butt and headed forward.
But... not long after, the horse pulled the reins and stopped again.
The reason for this is because we came to a river.
The river surface is not frozen, and the water is flowing happily. A wooden bridge was erected over the river. It looked like it could cross the river. However, in the middle of the wooden bridge, there was unknown damage. There was a gap several meters wide on the bridge deck. It was so empty that a horse would definitely fall if he tried to cross it.
The water in the river is very fast and the depth is unknown. It is obviously not a good choice to flow directly through it. And if you follow the river to find a second wooden bridge that can cross the river, you don't know when you will find it.
Thinking about this, Richard raised his eyebrows slightly, and then made a decision.
With a flip of his hand, Richard took out a piece of black cloth from the space iron ring, covered the horse's eyes, adjusted the horse's direction, let the horse walk onto the bridge, and then picked up the whip and whipped it hard.
"Bah bang bang!"
The horse was hit on the butt by the whip, which was very painful. Under the stimulation, it ran wildly forward on the bridge, its speed increased rapidly, and it reached the missing position of the bridge.
"Hey!"
The horse's hooves stepped on the bridge and its body jumped up. Richard, who was riding on the horse, quickly waved his hand and released the spell. The air suddenly condensed together to complete the missing bridge deck.
The horses landed on the surface of the condensed air. With a sudden force, they crossed over the missing bridge deck and stepped on the real bridge deck. After a while, they successfully reached the other side of the river.
After crossing the bridge, Richard took off the black cloth covering his horse, looked back at the broken bridge, thoughtfully, but without any pause, he hit the horse and continued moving forward.
"Hey! Hey! Hey!"
Horse hooves clattered, the river was left behind, a forest appeared, and the road became rough.
A human scream of pain floated over, and Richard saw a man dressed as a woodcutter kneeling half-kneeling on the roadside, holding a water bag in one hand and pouring the water in it toward the other hand. He yelled with a grin on his face - the other hand that was poured on had a large number of white blisters on the surface, as if it had been burned, and it was very oozing.
Seeing Richard appear, the other party looked at him and said with a kind-hearted advice: "Boy, are you in a hurry and ready to continue walking forward? I advise you to take a detour, because you don't know when the road ahead will suddenly grow. There was a large area of devil trees, and I accidentally touched their sap, which made my hand look like this. If you try to pass through them on horseback, you will definitely be worse off than me."
"Devil tree?" After listening to the woodcutter's words, Richard's eyes flashed and he said, "Then I really want to see it."
With that said, Richard rode forward, and the woodcutter loudly tried to dissuade him from behind, but he pretended not to hear.
Soon, Richard saw the devil tree.
In the field of vision, a large area of slender yellow plants appeared. The branches and leaves were wilted and crinkled on the stems. They did not look dangerous. Apart from the height, they were not very different from the crops in the farmland.
Richard glanced twice and said slowly: "It turns out to be giant hogweed."
Well, giant hogweed, the plant that woodcutter calls "devil's tree", is exactly the plant on modern earth - giant hogweed.
The name sounds very rustic, but it should not be underestimated.
The plant, called a grass, is actually more like a tree and can reach six meters in height. This is nothing, but the danger is that after it breaks off its branches and leaves, a milky white juice will flow out from the fracture. This sap is highly irritating. Once it comes into contact with human skin, it will immediately cause severe burns. If it accidentally enters the eyes, it will cause blindness.
Richard looked at the dense hogweed in front of him without much fear. He galloped forward and released his spell, separating the numerous hogweeds with air and blocking the milky white liquid splashing from some broken branches. Pass easily.
After passing through, Richard continued walking through the woods. Not long after, he found a wooden sign nailed to a tree trunk in the woods. The surface of the wooden sign had crooked words written in red paint, as if to remind passers-by: " Recently, there have been wolves in front of the woods. Passers-by had better go around or gather enough people to go forward. If you don't listen, there will be consequences."
"Wolves?" Richard spoke in a playful tone without slowing down.
I don't know if it was too much of a coincidence. Just a few miles away, the howls of wolves could be heard in the forest.
"O-oh!"
"O-oh!"
"O-oh!"
Black shadows shot out from the woods, surrounding the horses and Richard on the horses.
Richard squinted at the more than twenty green wolves surrounding him. Without any hesitation, he waved his hand and released a "single-ring explosion".
Sparks as big as dates flew out, accurately fell into the mouth of a wolf, and exploded quickly.
With a "boom", the entire head of the unlucky green wolf was shattered. He didn't even have time to cry out and fell down with a plop.
When the other green wolves saw what happened to their companions, they couldn't help but become furious and all rushed forward.
Richard, who was riding on the horse, unceremoniously released a "Wind Blow", which bounced away all the green wolves that rushed towards him, and then continued to release the "Single Ring Explosion" spell, killing them one by one.
After a while, many green wolves turned into burnt corpses, and the rest fled in panic with their tails between their legs.
The place was quiet again, with only the horses pawing at the dirt a little restlessly, while Richard, who was riding on the horse, had a slightly gloomy expression.
For him, if it was just suspicion before, but now he is encountering trouble one after another, it is already confirmed: secretly, there should be a mastermind behind the scenes, deliberately blocking his trip and delaying his time.
Broken bridges are, giant hogweed is, and wolves are even more dangerous.
He didn't know how the mastermind behind the scenes did all this. But what is certain is that if you continue to move forward, there will definitely be more troubles waiting.
What is the purpose of the mastermind behind this? What's the identity
Richard thought for a long time but could not find an accurate answer. The white crow he had seen before flashed in his mind, he pursed his lips, took a deep breath and moved forward.
He was ready to see what the mastermind behind the scenes was going to do and how much trouble he had prepared for him!
"嘘, 嘚, 嘚..."
