This is a tall and lush silver banyan tree, with branches and leaves like covers, spreading out more than ten meters away.
Around the tree, several high wooden ladders are connected back and forth, interlocking, and finally a delicate and widely distributed tree house is built in the center of the tree, at the branches.
On the side of the tree house, a fluorite tag hangs on the branches that come diagonally, and the fluorite exudes a faint green light. On the surface of the fluorite, there is a row of black swash characters, clearly writing the name of the tree house, Fluorite Hotel.
This hotel built on the silver banyan tree is Angel's first destination.
After the group of them landed, the Dalmatians were still roaring at the hotel.
"Will Nausicaa be here?" Shan frowned, looking at this apparently delicate hotel, but at this moment it was somehow rather gloomy.
"I don't know, go in and have a look." Angel didn't know if the Dalmatians were leading them to find Nausicaa, but he had no other way. Hundreds of miles in size, the city of Sleepless, with buildings scattered widely, it is too easy to hide a person, so for now I can only temporarily believe in this Dalmatian.
Along the wooden ladder, Angel and others walked to the door of the fluorescent hotel.
Before entering, the wooden door opened without wind, and countless parasites came out from the inside. In an instant, the sky was densely covered with light spots like fireflies.
Seeing these parasites, Shan and Shiliu both squatted down in fright.
The whizzing sound passed by, and after a while, all the parasites in the hotel door finally left, and successfully bypassed their positions.
To be precise, Angel was bypassed.
"Why are there so many parasites here?" Shan stood up with fear.
"Perhaps, the lair is inside." Angel whispered, then strode forward and walked directly into the deep darkness.
Shan and Shiliu looked at each other, and both saw doubts in each other's eyes. Angel only said that if he followed him, he would not be parasitized by parasites, but he did not say why.
Previously the parasites were few and had not been felt. But after this incident, their hearts are inevitably filled with doubts.
How did Angel keep the parasites away from him? And it seems that it is not Angel who is driving away the parasite, but the parasite is actively avoiding Angel.
"It's really strange, but he doesn't want to say anything." Shan muttered secretly, and strode forward with Shiliu, following in Angel's footsteps.
As soon as he entered the tree house, Angel stopped.
Shan was behind him, and with the darkness obscuring her eyes, she couldn't see anything, but only heard a buzzing sound in her ear, which seemed to be the sound of insects.
Shan swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and after consulting Angel's opinion, she released a light spell that completely illuminated the treehouse.
When the light spell came up, Shan was stunned.
Just in front of Angel, a huge nest is standing here, and the humming they heard was also emitted by unknown bugs in the nest.
Shan shuddered and said with a little trembling: "Angol, what kind of nest is this? Could it be those parasites?"
Angel nodded casually. There is actually a deeper connection between the parasite and the nest, but there is no need to explain.
He has seen this lair more than once, whether it is Night Demon City or Pocrates, so Angel doesn't have much fear in his heart.
Angel: "Shan, move the light source up a little, above the nest."
He came here to find someone, and was not interested in the colorful dragonfly's nest. After a careful observation, Angel found that there seemed to be some changes in the darkness above the lair.
Shan trembled and raised the light source.
At this moment, a large number of colorful dragonflies suddenly emerged from the nest. There were at least hundreds of them at a glance. As soon as they appeared, they surrounded Angel and others.
The energy fluctuations on these dragonflies are all at the level of peak apprentices, so when hundreds of them appeared, Shan's face instantly turned pale, and her hands and feet became stiff. She was still manipulating the movement of the light source, but now she has stopped moving.
"What now?" It was Shiliu who spoke, her performance was better than Shan's, but she still had a trembling voice when she spoke.
When Angel was about to answer, the colorful dragonfly suddenly sent out a series of strange mood swings.
In Shan and Shiliu's perception, they could only detect that these dragonflies were a little excited.
But in Angel's perception, he heard the familiar voice of praise, praised the Queen, praised Sharapova, praised the brightness of the moonlight... Even if there is no moonlight here.
The IQ of the colorful dragonfly is not high, as can be seen from the praises sung.
"Don't pay attention to them, as long as you don't take the initiative to attack, they won't attack." Angel explained.
Sure enough, after a while, those colorful dragonflies just released their excitement to the outside world, but they didn't move, but kept spinning around them.
"Shan, move the light source up." Time waited for no one, Angel reminded again.
Just then, a scream came from above.
Shan hurriedly raised the light source, and as the light shone, she saw a woman with long green hair above the lair, her whole body being suspended by golden threads, which were connected to the void behind her.
The scream was exactly what the woman made. After the scream, the woman's face showed a desperate expression, the blue veins on her face faded, and her eyes were pure white without pupils. A mysterious energy was transmitted from the void into the woman's body by means of golden threads.
And then... A wonderful mezzanine space, centered on women, began to spread rapidly.
With the emergence of the mezzanine space, the woman completely lost her will. When the mezzanine space covered dozens of miles around, it began to shrink again, and finally all of it melted into the woman's body.
When all this was done, the woman was dragged into the void by the golden thread and disappeared.
At the same time, Angel felt that the mezzanine space in the center of Sleepless City was gradually merging with a new mezzanine space and slowly expanding...
"Go, Nausicaa is not here." Angel said coldly.
A puppet pro-embryo was born under his eyes, and he witnessed the process of the pro-embryo losing its will to become a container, which made his sense of urgency even more, for fear that Nausicaa would not be able to hold it in the next second.
They turned their heads immediately, ready to go to the next location.
As Angel turned around, the surrounding dragonflies immediately gave way, as if they were sending Angel away.
Both Shan and Shiliu noticed this, but now was not the time to explore, so they quickly followed Angel. They knew very well that it was definitely thanks to Angel that they could avoid the attacks of parasites and dragonflies, so they did not dare to stay away from Angel.
After leaving the Firefly Inn, Toby immediately turned into a griffin and took them to the next location.
The Dalmatians also seemed to understand what Angel meant, and began to bark in the new direction.
In less than two minutes, Toby flew more than ten miles, and finally they stopped in a cemetery in the western district of Sleepless City. This is a suburban cemetery, still within the shrouded range of the Dark Territory.
The cemetery was surrounded by black iron railings. At first glance, it looked a bit like the cemetery that Ingres saw in Castle Black. But if you look closely, you will find that the interior of the cemetery is very clean and tidy, there are no mass graves, and no coffins have been turned over. The location of each tomb is well planned, and even the inscription has a strong craftsman style.
"This is the Rose Cemetery in the rich area. Those who can be buried here are not poor people. At least there are extraordinary people at home." Shan said.
After the group of them landed in the cemetery, as Shan said, the iron fence at the edge of the cemetery was covered with thorns with gorgeous roses. There is no rotting smell in the air, but a strong dark fragrance.
But this dark fragrance made everyone present look a little bad. Because of the fragrance of gorgeous flowers emitting from absorbing underground carrion, there is also a collective name in the southern region: the fragrance of the dead.
There are some wizards with special hobbies who like the fragrance made from this dead man's incense very much. Not only is the fragrance more intense, but the effect of eliciting Shulomon is stronger than that of similar flowers.
"Go in and have a look." Angel took the lead and walked into the cemetery.
Shan followed up, with a look of doubt: "Angol, what happened to the woman bound by the golden thread just now, will Nausicaa be treated like this?"
"Yes, so we need to find and save Nausicaa before she completely collapses." Angel seemed to have a problem with Shan, "There's not much time, don't waste any more."
Soon, they locked on the target in the cemetery.
In the center of the cemetery, there is still a colorful dragonfly's nest, and the people kidnapped by Yorkshire are also suspended above the nest like in the firefly hotel.
However, this time it was still not Nausicaa.
But it was a man they were all familiar with.
Gan Ke was tied and punctured by a gold thread in the void, hanging in mid-air, his mouth kept roaring, his mask had been opened, and blood and tears flowed from his eyes.
"Because of some special reasons, Gan Ke not only has no desire, but also has a very low response to emotions. But he is bleeding and crying now, which means that he has reached his limit!" Shan's face showed a look of horror, and said to Angel. .
Gan Ke also seemed to be aware of the master's voice. He turned his head to look at Shan, and whispered Shan's name in his mouth.
"It's not parasitized!" Shan turned to Angel and said, "It still remembers me! How should we save it, it seems to be on the verge of collapse now!"
Angel knew from the very beginning that the abducted people would not be parasitized. Because once the parasitism has passed, it is a difficult process to let the parasite's psychological defense line collapse due to the characteristics of the parasite.
Humans' psychological defenses are much weaker than parasites, so it's impossible for Yorkshire to allow them to be parasitized.
Because of this, whether they can survive or not depends on how strong their psychological defenses are and how long they can last in the process of becoming a pro-embryo.
