New Gods of North America

"Bang—"

As Wayne "broke out of" the "Spider Cave," his "mana bar" had already dropped by almost seventy percent.

These "spider silks" didn't have any lethality or corrosiveness,

but they acted like conductive wires, rapidly draining the spiritual power from Wayne's body.

The spiritual power that had been "used" through extraordinary abilities wasn't exactly the same as the spiritual power "originally contained" within the body.

Part of Wayne's spiritual power was drained, another part was actively transferred through the "explosion" ability, and yet another part was used for self-defense against the "explosion."

In the end, it felt like this thing wasn't so much "killed" by Wayne, but rather, it failed to successfully take root and sprout on Wayne's "soil," lost its subsequent source of spiritual power, and was slowly "worn down" to death.

Away from the "bamboo shoots" and having dealt with the "pupa,"

the agents gradually became more successful in dealing with the "sea stars."

There might have been some misunderstanding on Connor's part; he saw that Wayne was also from the Hunter Association and a partner in the detective agency,

and that he was so brave as to engage in close combat with the "pupa."

So, he seemed to be greatly encouraged and began to try "dancing on the edge of a knife" with the "sea stars."

After roughly clearing out the "sea stars"—uncertain, but after eliminating a certain number of "sea stars," the rest all fell to the ground and gradually couldn't hop around anymore—Wayne and the others threw a wave of highly explosive bombs at the "bamboo shoots,"

and then, seeing that its roots seemed to have become withered, they didn't continue to entangle with it, choosing to continue supporting other teams first.

Looking towards the roof of the detective agency's warehouse, the warning brazier representing the "middle lane" had all been extinguished.

Wayne, with his clothes tattered but still barely covering his body, shouted a few greetings, and Willie on the roof began to use a large wooden lid to cover the brazier representing the "right lane."

Only the last of the three braziers remained lit, indicating that there was no danger here, but it hadn't been completely cleared.

The previous battle area in the "middle lane" was now marked with several spots of "whale oil."

Wayne and the others didn't approach, circling around it and running to the "left lane," where the braziers were still "fully lit."

The battle here was also nearing its end. With the "air support" of Doug the Owl and the "subsequent arrival" of Lina and the others,

a thing with a frame taller than the average person, covered in "coral" and "seaweed," had completely fallen to the ground,

covered in all sorts of messy wounds, lying in a patch of "swamp" and fire, and still entangled by Lina's steel wire.

This guy also had a bestial appearance that made communication impossible.

It felt like if you got even a little closer, it would bite you one last time before dying.

Speaking of strength, this group of people tonight is indeed more powerful than the last batch… but not as good as the three "roadblocks" from a few days ago.

The enemies who could barely communicate were instead the two dying guys.

These two guys should have been caught in Lina's specially made trap, with parts of their bodies stabbed with iron nails like cacti.

But because of this, the potion bottles on their bodies were shattered at the time, and they probably didn't have time to drink the medicine, but instead survived until now.

One of the guys had a stronger will to live. He seemed to have witnessed the tragic scene of a companion being "devoured" by another companion who had been transformed.

His Dao heart was shattered, and he was begging for mercy, only hoping that everyone could save him quickly.

The other guy looked like he was in worse condition from blood loss, looking like he wouldn't live long, but he was still cursing non-stop,

Wayne felt that even if this kind of guy was saved, he would still drool all day long.

Seeing that an agent had already raised his gun, ready to give him a quick death, he turned his head and didn't look.

The other party could see that Wayne should be the person "in charge" at the scene. Noticing that Wayne turned his head, the "cursing" turned into a strange laugh of "sarcasm,"

Wayne was familiar with this routine, raised his hand to stop the agent from pulling the trigger,

and looked back at the guy, "Do you have any backup plans?"

The other party's face was covered in blood, but he had to squeeze out an ugly smile:

"Your manpower should all be here, right? Haven't you noticed that one of our members is missing?"

It's so late at night, and you've all become inhuman.

Who the hell cares how many of you there are.

Wayne looked at the faces of the members next to him, and then turned his gaze to the direction of the detective agency. Everyone was shaking their heads uncertainly. Damon McReady was more certain:

"I was guarding in the back just now. No one approached the detective agency from their side."

That's right,

the owl is still flying in the sky. If there are still enemies approaching now, there's no reason why that stupid bird wouldn't call out.

"Ha."

That guy's mouth was full of blood, but his mouth was still very tough, "Your small courtyard is surrounded by land on three sides. There's no one on land, but do you really think that no one can go directly from the river?"

Damn it…

These guys are all strangely shaped, I didn't expect there would be "fish,"

or maybe freaking "crocodiles"!

Lina and several relatively strong agents heard this and ran with Wayne towards the detective agency,

lest the "front line" be cutting melons and vegetables, but the "base camp" was stolen by the other party.

Moreover, the small wooden houses of several partners are set up the "furthest inside,"

but they are the closest to the river…

Wayne had just rushed back to the small courtyard when he saw the scene of Ineesha's wooden house collapsing—

a green-skinned thing with webs and gills was "swept" out of the wooden house from the wall by countless scarlet threads with great force.

These threads looked slender and fragile, but when brushed against the opponent, they were like countless extremely sharp "small saw blades,"

not only quickly cutting the opponent like a hot knife through butter, visibly turning from meat slices and meat grains into "minced meat,"

but also seeming to be able to take away the blood from the opponent's body at the same time, making themselves more "slender and long."

Then a large piece of wall was swept away,

and the wooden house also collapsed.

Several agents couldn't help but pause in their steps in the face of the sudden burst of powerful spiritual pressure,

Wayne and Lina rushed over and rummaged through the wreckage of the wooden house, finally finding her in the place where the bathtub was originally placed.

The restraints on Ineesha's body seemed to be wrapped even tighter, and the veins could be faintly seen on her wet, slender, snowy neck.

She was also like many times after "bursting out," hugging her arms tightly, arching her body, frowning, and unable to speak for a while in the face of inquiries.

The only thing to be thankful for was that Lina found a broken potion bottle in the minced meat outside the house,

the wax seal on the bottle mouth was still intact, and the amount of potion spilled on the ground didn't seem to have decreased too much.

At least this guy didn't have time to take the potion beforehand,

otherwise…

In the end, Lina gave up her own small wooden house,

temporarily concocting some potions in the bathtub to help Ineesha alleviate her condition.

The agents continued to clean up the scene with lingering fear,

only Liam was still like a goofball, "Is the threshold for your detective agency's partners so high…"
