Richard's guess was true.

As soon as he entered the pine forest, he had already found a lot of clues.

The gravel path where the golden cart traveled, in the low bushes on both sides, there were many traces of scorched black smoke. Upon a closer look, Richard noticed that they were all charred insect-like remains. The most common one is a large insect creature that resembles a cotton locust.

The slain locusts were about the size of a medium-sized dog, covered in hard, thorny, dark yellow chitin armor, with long transparent wings and six long legs under their abdomen. At this moment, they were scorched black by the fire, either missing arms and legs, or most of their wings, and some of their bodies were turned into a lump of black coal, so that the air around them was full of a scorching smell.

Richard stared at their strong, two-meter-long hind legs with barbs, and gasped - if they were kicked, they would be crippled!

Richard was no stranger to these terrifying locusts.

Their name is the Knife Locust, and they are not natural beings, but a large insect creature created by man.

According to the content of "The Complete Solution of Alchemy", the Knife Wind Locust is a masterpiece of the magic tower on Eyre's side. By mutagenesis with diluted dragon blood and the addition of some magic crystal powder, ordinary cotton locusts can be transformed into this kind of magic insect that can control the power of the wind.

A hundred years ago there was a war, because of them, something like this happened.

At that time, hundreds of thousands of locusts were made at one time, forming an overwhelming swarm of locusts on the battlefield. These terrible locusts have eaten away the enemy's army like a crop!

Richard didn't want their four-petaled mouths to bite him.

As a result, the imposing Golden Cart, which he was sitting on, suddenly distorted in the air around it, as if there were transparent walls erecting around it.

Protective force field!

At the same moment, a golden yellow flashed behind Richard, like the light points of fireflies, and they flew around, forming a human form composed of light, four or five meters in size. The man's face was soon clear, her long hair fluttering, her crown on her head, her Greek robes, and her beautiful and heroic countenance, none other than the goddess of dawn, Freedtrika.

Blessed by Fredetrika!

These two magic spells are the means of defense that come with the Lost Moon Golden Car.

A masterful magic, the "Golden Chariot of the Lost Moon" is anything but ordinary.

In addition to defensive magic, it also comes with its own "Advanced Storage Technique", which can carry up to twenty tons of things. All the black powder made by Richard was stuffed here.

This golden cart is Richard's mobile fortress.

After protecting these two magics, Richard also let the bear and bear disguised as a mastiff run on both sides of the Dead Moon Golden Car.

The five helmeted wolves also slowed down temporarily under his orders.

After running along the road for about five minutes, Richard finally followed the king cart and found the place where the incident occurred.

This is an open field in the pine forest, a low bush and grass artificially created due to logging.

Before he could drive in, Richard saw wisps of white smoke rising from inside. As soon as he got out of the gravel road, he opened his mouth wide in surprise.

In this large area of about five or six acres, the lush shrubs on the ground are covered with a layer of scorched knife locusts, and there can be nearly a thousand!

But the strange thing is that only the places around these insect corpses have some traces of being burned by the fire, and the rest are still green.

Richard's eyes narrowed into a line.

It must have been magical.

Otherwise, it's a barbecue party, and he can see a thick smoke billowing from the villa!

It was too late, but it was too soon, and as soon as the golden car of the Lost Moon ran out of the gravel road, there was suddenly a fireball the size of a basin, which shot towards it like a meteor flashing across the starry sky.

But before the fireball could reach the protective force field outside the golden car, the bear that jumped up suddenly had already collided with it. The Wind Helmet outside of it changed the castration of the fireball and smashed away the attack.

When the fireball hit the thick old pine on the left side of the golden cart, there was an earth-shattering explosion, followed by a roar of a huge tree falling to the ground.

Richard looked at that.

The ancient pine tree, which is enough for three or four people, has been blown up by the waist!

In this large circle of land around it, all the pine needles that fell to the ground were blown away, revealing the fresh black-brown soil underneath!

Following the direction from which the fireball was flying, Richard suddenly saw a figure hanging in the air on the top of an old pine tree opposite, he was nearly a hundred meters away from him, as if only the size of an ant.

"Who?"

Richard shouted at the door.

His voice echoed through the pine forest, with a string of echoes.

At this moment, Richard had already driven to the middle of this open field.

The man hanging in mid-air didn't die, but the "pine" under him moved. The behemoth, which was more than 20 meters long, turned around and fell to the ground suddenly.

It has six branches of pine needles on its body, supporting its thick body.

When this moving "pine tree" walked out of the shadow of the pine forest and bathed in the sunshine, Richard saw its true face of Lushan.

A stick insect disguised as a pine tree!

This large, slender insect has a chitinous case like rough bark, and its six long legs obliquely sprout many branches covered with pine needles, as if wearing a layer of green fat wide leg pants. Even its slender insect head has a hat made of loose caps.

Richard's eyes narrowed, and he suddenly felt that it was not it disguised as a pine tree, but this large, slender insect that had put the pine tree on its entire body.

As soon as he was shocked by the giant insect that was more than 20 meters long and comparable to seven or eight stories high, there was a new movement in the pine forest in front of Richard.

One, two, three......

Eventually, a dozen pine trees turned into one of these giant insects!

When they move their thick legs, the earth trembles!

Some go from standing to crouching.

Some just turn a corner and turn around from the pine forest in front of them and move to the open field.

When the giant insects lined up in a row and blocked Richard's path, the person who was flying in the air was able to come down.

It was a black-haired young man in a black robe, with a very pale face, like a vampire who had not seen the sun for a long time. He had an ordinary face, but there was an evil aura on his whole face, which made people shudder.

Flying to the shoulder of a giant stick insect directly in front of Richard, the young man smiled contemptuously at Richard who was riding the golden cart of the Dead Moon below.

He saw two little loli's in Richard's car.

"Is this your savior, doesn't it look good?"

The young man looked to the side.

After he reminded him, Richard saw the abnormalities on these stick insects.

The two giant insects on either side of the young man, their bodies were thicker than their surroundings, and their long torsos were like buses, with rows of windows.

Richard looked inside and found that there were people, a lot of people!

They were wrapped in clumps of slugs and stuck in their shells. The two giant stick insects, with windows on their backs like this, can be seven or eight meters long, so it is estimated that there are at least hundreds of people inside.

The most people here are children!
