The route ahead was more fitted to be termed as a steep slope instead of a road because the path was extremely

narrow.

Even the lanes in the countryside were in better condition as the narrowest part of the route could only allow one

person to cross at a time, and the person would have to walk sideways.

Moreover, the slope was scattered with small pieces of rocks. The slightest mistake would cause a person to slip

and fall.

Naturally, Sole Wolf and the others could effortlessly cross the slope.

They wondered if Crippled Williams, who was disabled, could climb up the slope.

Crippled Williams gazed at the path ahead and said wistfully, “This road is more challenging than any other road

you've taken. Perhaps it is even more perilous than all hazardous areas combined! So, do all of you dare to climb?

You can still choose to back out before we journey further.”

Sole Wolf teased, “If even a cripple like you aren't afraid, wouldn't it reflect badly on us if we're scared since that

will mean we are worse than a cripple?”

Crippled Williams glowered at Sole Wolf in anger. “Cripple? Haha. I am much more adept at climbing this road than

all of you who can walk normally.”

“That's enough. Stop bluffing. Just lead the way, and we'll see for ourselves if you're speaking the truth!”

“Deal! I'll show you what I'm capable of today!”

Then, Crippled Williams took the lead to climb the slope while Sole Wolf and the others trailed closely behind him.

To Sole Wolf and the others' astonishment, Crippled Williams was not lying after all.

Despite not walking as fast as an ordinary person on flat grounds, Crippled Williams was exceptionally quick in

covering the distance of the slope. He could accurately adjust his posture according to the terrain at a speed not

different from a normal person.

In fact, he was even more agile in crossing most narrow areas than an ordinary person.

Not long after, they successfully crossed the slope and arrived at the foot of Golden Sands Mountain.

Sole Wolf and the other team members looked up at the mountain's peak, only to realize that the summit was

much taller than they had imagined. The mountaintop was hidden among the clouds.

Crippled Williams gazed upward at the sky and uttered, “All right. This is Golden Sands Mountain. My job is done. I'll

be going back now.”

He turned around and was about to leave after saying that.

“Hold on! Aren't you climbing up the mountain with us?” Sole Wolf hastily called out to Crippled Williams.

The latter replied, “Haha. We made a deal. My task was to bring all of you to the foot of Golden Sands Mountain. I

did not promise to accompany you further.”

“Let me ask you. Do you know about Ghoul Cliff?”

Crippled Williams nodded. “I do.”

Sole Wolf, Ares, Nameless, and the others turned agitated at once.

“Hurry up and tell us the location of Ghoul Cliff!”

“Why don't you lead us straight to Ghoul Cliff?” one of them suggested.

The sooner they locate Ghoul Cliff, the higher the chance for Killer Wolf to survive.

Crippled Williams voiced, “Don't get too excited just yet. Let me make myself clear before I say anything else. I am

unsure if the Ghoul Cliff you mentioned is the same Ghoul Cliff I'm referring to.”

The others were slightly stunned. “What do you mean by that?”

Crippled Williams explained, “There are indeed a lot of cliffs around here, but only a few are named. Among these

cliffs, none of them is called Ghoul Cliff. However, I do know of a cliff with over thousand or even ten thousand

bodies buried underneath. That's why I personally call that cliff Ghoul Cliff. As to whether that is the same Ghoul Cliff

you're looking for, I do not know.”

Sole Wolf asked in surprise, “Oh? Why are there over ten thousand bodies underneath the cliff?”

Crippled Williams elaborated, “That's a long story to tell. The tale happened in an ancient dynasty a few hundred

years ago. During that time, many people were actively migrating. One of the migrating colonies consisting of ten

thousand people coincidentally passed through this cliff. At that time, a river flowed underneath the cliff. Due to the

low temperature there, the river's surface was coated with a thick layer of ice all year long, providing a safe

passageway for people and carts to travel. On normal days, the villagers around there would cross the ice surface

like a road. Everything was fine and peaceful for decades.”
