“They’re in a cave on Mount Barrow right now, but the demon fox isn’t with them,” Yaksha told him.
Stanley Batton instantly felt relieved when he heard this, glad that his children were still alive when he thought they'd be dead.
“Are they doing all right?”
“I’m not sure about that, but regardless of whether they’re fine or not, we need to hurry and make our way there,” Yaksha said.
“Can you go there in your current state?” Stanley asked worriedly.
“I can. Don’t worry.”
With that, Yaksha reached for the railing with difficulty and stood up, immediately coughing as soon as he did.
Cough, cough, cough.
"If I don’t go with you now, you won’t be able to find your children.”
“Thank you,” Stanley replied with a deep frown.
“Why so courteous? I’m only repaying the kindness that I was shown. Besides, I owe the Quest family big time,” Yaksha replied.
“I came here with my helicopter. I’ll fly you there right away,” Stanley suggested, but Yaksha shook his head.
“We don’t need a helicopter.”
A curious look appeared in Stanley’s eyes. “In that case, how will we get there?”
Yaksha then retrieved a white charm from his pocket. “I just acquired this.”
“What is it?”
“It’s a teleport amulet. Have you played games? Do you know how random teleport scrolls work in games?” Yaksha asked, still sounding out of breath.
At this moment, all he wanted was to see his children.
Meanwhile, Yaksha followed closely behind him without a word.
It was pitch black in the cave, so Stanley turned on his flashlight and peered around to discover that they were currently inside a very long corridor.
He continued to lead Yaksha further inside with his phone’s flashlight.
It was very quiet inside, their footsteps echoing thunderously throughout the space.
After walking for approximately a hundred meters, they arrived at a turning point to find another long corridor that seemed endless.
Once they reached the end of the second corridor, a huge cave entrance appeared in front of them.
Right after that, they both witnessed a shocking sight.
