A few days later, the younger twin returned from Golden Sands Mountain.

Like the old shepherd, his eyes looked dull while his movements were stiff. He hadn't said anything ever since he

returned.

The villagers deliberately observed him closely and saw some sand in his mouth.

After refusing to eat or drink, he passed away a few days later.

The villagers hid a distance away from the younger twin's grave after burying him.

They wanted to find out if a dead man would crawl out from it. Otherwise, it was just a myth spread by some

despicable tomb robbers.

Later that night, the villagers who hid from afar were shocked by the scene before them.

Thump! Thump! They heard some knocking noises from the grave, followed by the sound of someone prying open

a wooden plank.

Crack! Then, they heard the person break the wooden plank and begin digging the soil.

After merely ten minutes, the grave's surface collapsed, forming a large hole. Slowly, the “dead man” crawled out

from the grave!

Witnessing the terrifying scene, a few timid villagers went into shock, while the others were overcome with fear as

well.

After crawling out of the grave, the corpse ran speedily toward Golden Sands Mountain and soon disappeared into

the darkness.

The villagers eventually went home, yet they continued to shiver in fear for quite some time.

The news traveled fast, and people from nearby villages knew about it very soon. Since then, no one dared to set

foot on Golden Sands Mountain.

Moreover, because the road toward Golden Sands Mountain was buried in golden sand, the villagers could not head

there even if they wanted to.

The restaurant owner paused for a while and continued, “Speaking of which, there's something else which is

peculiar. There are seven roads that lead to Golden Sands Mountain. While six are buried in golden sand, the

remaining one is always clean and accessible. Nonetheless, it is a treacherous mountain trail. So far, not many

villagers have successfully left the village using it. Some villagers even claimed they saw spirits of soldiers passing

by at night. Since then, we always say that the road is specifically reserved for the spirits.”

After listening to it, Sole Wolf thought for a while and asked, “Have you guys seen any of those who died after going

to Golden Sands Mountain again? Did they come down from Golden Sands Mountain?”

The restaurant owner shook his head in response. “Nope. They disappeared as soon as they came back to life.”

Sole Wolf continued to ask, “Do you know a place called Ghoul Cliff near Golden Sands Mountain?”

The restaurant owner shook his head again and replied, “Ghoul Cliff? I grew up here but have never heard of it.”

Sole Wolf said, “It's okay. Could you please let me know the direction of the trail that leads to the mountain?”

The restaurant owner shot him a helpless face and advised him, “Are you that determined to head toward Golden

Sands Mountain?”

Unperturbed, Sole Wolf said, “Just let me know the direction, and don't meddle with things that don't concern you.”

Since his advice fell on deaf ears, the restaurant owner said, “Let me tell you the truth. You guys can't get to Gold

Mountain even if I lead you to it. Since the trail is too treacherous, only Crippled Williams successfully went up the

mountain and returned safely. Even I couldn't do it.”

Sole Wolf asked, “Oh? Who is Crippled Williams? Why is he so special?”

The restaurant owner explained, “Crippled Williams is the elder brother who came down from Gold Mountain. He is

the only survivor we know over the years.”

Intrigued, Sole Wolf continued to inquire, “I see. Please tell me where Crippled Williams' house is.”

Staring at him, the restaurant owner shook his head and heaved. “Young man, why must you look for trouble? I

mean, it's not a place for you to look for excitement. Instead, you'll lose your life there.”

As Sole Wolf had lost his patience, he took out a pile of cash and threw it on the counter. “Cut the crap. Just tell me

where Crippled Williams' house is.”

The restaurant owner was stunned upon seeing the money. Good fortune has come to me!

As expected, there was no way he would let go of the opportunity to make big money.
