New Gods of North America

A basic principle when fighting Spectrals is: don't touch anything you don't recognize or that looks wrong.

Although there are clearly three people hiding within the black mist, and there must be a way to remain unharmed inside, the detective agency still wouldn't rashly approach or touch it, mainly sticking to the outside and waiting for an opportunity to act.

The carriage was moving back and forth not far away; the black mist's target was clearly not the cash from selling lottery tickets in the carriage.

In a sense, the two sides had a tacit understanding, as if they both felt they could eliminate the other here, neither stopping nor retreating,

maintaining the entanglement here.

So Wayne was happy to be chased by the other party,

finding a relatively flat open space nearby and riding his horse in circles with them.

According to normal people's thinking, since the area covered by the black mist is roughly a 'circle', then firing towards the 'center' wouldn't be too wrong,

but unfortunately, the agents fired a burst of 'bang, bang, bang, bang', and the black mist still acted like a bulldozer, not fast but also not stopping, obviously not causing effective damage to the other party.

On the contrary,

the black mist gradually revealed its more troublesome side.

"Bang!"

"Bang bang bang bang bang bang!"

At least one person on the other side was using a firearm, firing a shot from time to time while hiding in the black mist, and then quickly changing position.

Since the other party had ranged attack methods, the detective agency's people could only keep fighting a mobile war, the horses constantly moving, and having to swerve or suddenly turn from time to time.

The area covered by the black mist was at least as wide as a large classroom, and the group followed the sound or relied on their feelings to fight back, but it seemed like they were all hitting empty air.

Moreover, the Spectral who used the "invisible giant iron ball" ability earlier wasn't idle either.

This guy has at least two Spectral abilities,

the first is the one he showed before, the principle is probably similar to planting bombs, after the arrangement is completed in the black mist, special lines will appear within a range of about ten yards in diameter centered on the "bomb\

,"once "detonated", even "crop circles" can be directly pressed out on the grass.

The explosion range of this Spectral ability is about the same as the black mist. If Wayne hadn't noticed it in advance, he would probably have turned into a dried persimmon by the second lap,

and he had to remind everyone to avoid the designated area in time, lest they accidentally get caught.

The power of the second Spectral ability is relatively small, but it also seems more flexible, it can be freely cast as long as it is within a certain distance, and can directly "trip" people.

"Whale Oil" tried to follow Wayne's instructions, relying on the horse's cover to place burning "oil" on the ground, marking the area within the "bomb" range that could not be stepped on, and then was directly hit by this move, his head almost hitting the grass.

"Everyone be careful! Do not approach within ten yards of the black mist range!"

It's not realistic to rely solely on marking to avoid the "bombs\

,"once there are too many marking points on the ground, densely packed, in the end no one knows which "points" to use to visually estimate the specific "explosion" range.

However, for Wayne, this guy is the easiest to deal with among them,

don't underestimate the power, when he places "bombs", the generated lines happen to be filled with a standard "circle", even the diameter is about the same.

Seeing the arc and knowing the radius, it becomes very simple to estimate the position of the center of the circle,

the other party then "ah--" after the second shot.

Then the agents aimed at the "ah" position and "bang bang bang bang", and then there was no then,

the originally abnormal area, the spiritual power seemed to gradually dissipate.

"It seems like one has been solved! But it is not certain which one was shooting!"

"Yo-ho!"

"Roger!"

"Airflow" tried to disperse the black mist, but the wind was too small, and the black mist seemed to be so thick as to be solid,

he can make the black mist slightly deformed, probably from a "round bun" to a "bun with a bite taken out of it", the "bite" is not deep, and there is no way to expose the people inside.

It's not very effective to cooperate with "Whale Oil" to set fire, the black mist seems to have the effect of suppressing the flame,

although you can't see the changes in the fire inside, the flames are all extinguished after the black mist passes.

The abilities of "Swamp" and "Sharpen" are more advantageous in this situation,

"Swamp" can at least temporarily soften a part of the ground. After Wayne leads the black mist over, the people inside have to walk around the "Swamp", and then the agents' blind shooting range can be slightly smaller,

it's a pity that the "Swamp" ability can only act on one place at the same time, and the larger the area, the lower the degree of softening, the maximum is only five yards in diameter, but that's about the same as stepping on wet mud.

The area of the "Sharpen" Spectral ability can be a straight line, and can "expand" the range of the ability forward like rolling a carpet, the farther the distance, the thinner the width,

within the coverage area of the ability, parts of plants such as grass leaves or tree leaves can become relatively hard and sharp within a few seconds,

the two of them cooperate, and it feels like they can barely block the activity range of the guy inside who is shooting while maintaining a distance from the black mist.

Then, since the effect of firearms is not good, the agents began to throw high explosives into it,

although the black mist occasionally waves out "tentacles" or "whips" composed of mist, it is far less than the distance that explosives can be thrown.

The scattered throwing effect was not good at first,

under Wayne's instructions, the agents quickly changed the mode, counting down together according to the password, and then throwing high explosives at different places in the black mist at the same time.

"Calculate the position of the moon as 12 o'clock, I throw in the 6 o'clock direction!"

"Then I choose 12 o'clock!"

"I'll throw it right in the center!" X2

"Then I'll change!" X2

"'Shock' stays the same, 'Chameleon' you go to the 12 o'clock direction!"

"Yes!"

The shouting of the exchange was still chaotic but orderly,

the sound of the explosion after the exchange also changed from the "bang!" kind to another kind of "bang--".

Wait a minute,

since there is already a "Chameleon", does Liam have to change his nickname in the future?

Wayne felt that Liam was more in line with the characteristics of "Chameleon"...

Putting aside the little episode,

after a round of simultaneous explosions, the other side obviously began to realize that something was wrong,

the black mist no longer chased Wayne, but instead showed signs of fleeing.

It's a pity that the black mist is not as fast as a horse after all, and soon another round of simultaneous explosions stopped the black mist in place.

"The guy inside is injured!"

"Continue, continue, who will count down this time?"

"I don't have any explosives! Someone come to 9 o'clock!"

Wayne was also trying various ways to deal with the black mist before,

bullets tried to find the target but couldn't hit it, and demon-hunting bullets couldn't break the mist,

injecting spiritual power into bullets or demon-hunting bullets, and then trying to "detonate" them, didn't seem to have any effect.

So Wayne could only switch to using stupid methods,

hiding from the gunshots that the other side would shoot at any time, he climbed off his horse and touched a pile of stones, and then took the time to make them into "bombs".

Some of the "bombs" were also thrown into it one after another, and the other part was thrown in advance in the direction of the black mist's advance, waiting in advance to give the other party a surprise.

Then Wayne discovered that,

his Spectral ability is actually not easy to use...

"Bombs" can indeed be made a lot, and can be freely timed within fifteen minutes, but the "remote detonation" command is universal,

either determine the countdown in advance one by one, and wait for their time to detonate themselves,

or "detonate" all of them at once, and there is no way to specify which one to detonate first.

Fortunately, accidental premature detonation is not completely meaningless,

Wayne took a look at this time and found that the "bombs" he made can actually temporarily blast a "gap" in the black mist,

it's just that it exploded in the black mist before, and the outside couldn't see it at all.

This is even easier to handle, "Everyone wait a while, I will detonate first and then you throw!"

"Aye!"

"Yes, sir!"

"Idiot, call me BOSS!"

Wayne turned around the black mist that stopped moving, made the "bombs" "bigger", and then roughly threw out a dot matrix to try to cut the range of the black mist first and expose a part of the field of vision,

then get it done in one wave.

"Bang--"

The explosion sound of the "bombs" made by Wayne is different from that of high explosives, it always feels more crisp.

After the black mist was torn open this time, it unexpectedly began to shrink rapidly, and soon gathered a naked guy,

the posture was kneeling on the ground with his hands raised high, as if he was still spitting blood.

It doesn't matter that he appeared,

immediately afterwards, the agents saw another guy in the black mist, who was almost turned into a skeleton, using his own flesh and blood to "set up a stall" or "paint" on the ground in an eccentric position, which made people feel like he was holding back some big move,

so there was no need to count down, and a bunch of tubular objects with small flames flew quickly from all directions.

"Bang--"

Um...

I think at least the "black mist" just now actually wanted to surrender...
