Chapter 277: Thousand-year-old Corpse
“My grandfather in the mountains must be so worried. I have to go back,” Yun Jiuge said and climbed out of the coffin.
“Is Brother Yun Jiu’s grandfather known as the Old Hunter?” Yun Shili looked at Yun Jiuge with an odd expression.
“How do you know my grandfather’s name?” Yun Jiuge raised an eyebrow. She had assumed that the identity she’d taken on had been randomly cooked up by Zi Shang. She did not think that such a person actually existed.
“Your grandfather passed away a few days ago. The people in your village pooled some money and hired us to send him back to his hometown to be buried.” The Heifeng Village had accepted this job about ten days ago.
Apparently, the Old Hunter had left behind some money before his death, along with a message for the villagers. He’d asked them for help in persuading the Heifeng Village’s Vampire Corpse Controlling Masters to send him back to his hometown so that he could be buried with his wife, who had died ten years earlier.
At that time, Yin Shili had asked about the background of the Old Hunter.
He knew that the Old Hunter had a grandson, who had died in the mountains while hunting some time ago. The body was never found. It seemed to him, therefore, that the demonic-looking youth in front of him was, in fact, the grandson.
“My grandfather is dead?” Yun Jiuge wanted to appear heartbroken and sad, but because of the poison in her face, she was unable to show too many emotions. Only her eyes turned red and watery.
“You have my condolences, Little Brother.” Yin Shili sighed, then told Yun Jiuge seriously, “The tomb cave is a dangerous place. Why we get out of here before deciding what to do next?”
