Chapter 1037


    As soon as Stanley Batton stepped off the helicopter, he quickly went to X Quest’s side.


    Noticing that X was lost in thought, Stanley ruffled her hair. “What’s wrong with you? Hmm?” He


    asked.


    When X heard him, she immediately grabbed Stanley’s hand tightly, seemingly stunned. “My


    pendant fell to the ground and shattered. After that, it turned into spots of light that flew into my


    eyes. Would you believe that?”


    Stanley couldn’t resistughing a little. “Why are you saying such silly things? Hmm? Are you so


    tired that you’re hallucinating?”

    X gently tugged at the empty white chain around her neck. “I’m telling the truth…”


    Stanley looked ndly at the chain around her neck. After that, he looked down and searched the


    ground…


    Indeed, there was nothing on the ground, and her pendant had also indeed disappeared.


    “Could it have dropped in the helicopter?” Stanley said. Hepletely disregarded what she said


    and was about to turn around to look for her pendant on the helicopter.


    X instantly grabbed Stanley’s hand and shook her head. “No… It really didn’t. Trust me…”


    Seeing how serious X appeared, a look of surprise appeared in Stanley’s eyes. “Are you really


    too tired? Hmm?”


    What X said was simply too mystical.


    Stanley had never heard anything like it.


    X knew exactly what Stanley was thinking.


    Hence, she continued to exin patiently. “It’s true.”


    Stanley could tell that she wasn’t making things up. “Are you sure?” he asked.


    “I swear with my life that I didn’t see anything mistakenly. Absolutely not…” X raised three fingers


    as she swore.


    “That’s strange. Why did that happen?” Stanley was still a little doubtful.


    “I think it’s strange too…” X said.


    “What about your eyes? Do you feel anything odd with them?” Stanley asked.


    “Not really. It just feels a little cool,” X said truthfully.


    “What about your vision? Is it still fine?” Stanley asked.


    “Yeah, it’s no different from before,” X said.


    “Would you like to get it checked at the hospital?” Stanley asked with a look of concern.


    With that, he pulled X into his arms before carefully checking her eyes.


    However, he didn’t notice anything unusual.


    The bodyguards hadn’t heard what X said at the beginning.


    Hence, at this moment, the conversation between X and Stanley left everyone feeling confused.


    “It’s okay… My eyes are fine now… Let’s go. We should rescue Zack and the others first,” X said


    before leading the way into the forest.


    “If you feel any difort, just let me know,” Stanley said.


    “Alright.”


    Arge group of people followed right behind the two of them. Each of them had a serious look on


    their faces.


    ***


    Soon, Stanley led X and the bodyguards into the forest.


    Huge trees covered everything, and only very little sunlight could seep through the gaps among the


    leaves. Otherwise, the entire world seemed dark.


    There were red spider lilies all over the floor.


    At this moment, the red spider lilies weren’t in full bloom. In fact, even the buds were missing. At


    one nce, they could only see a patch of green nts.


    The temperature here wasparable to an air-conditioned room at twenty-one degrees in the


    summer. It felt cooler than ever.


    The air was filled with the rich fragrance of grass and trees, making everyone feel rxed.


    Stanley carefully led X forward. “Watch your step… It’s likely that poisonous snakes reside in


    ces like this.”


    “Okay…” X said.


    The group of people followed some vaguely visible footsteps on the ground. After searching for a


    long time, they finally entered the ce where Zack and the others were located.
