Chapter 159
"Zin Shi, run! I will buy you time to escape! Hurry!" Kam Shi, an old man with gray and withering hair, shouted as he coughed up a mouthful of blood . His internal organs were misplaced and he was gravely injured . He was holding his sword in defense, and trying to catch his breath .
They were currently fleeing from an overlord-level beast, One-eyed Frog . As the two were below Overlord Realm, they were, of course, not a match against the beast . Actually, they did not expect that they will encounter such a powerful beast here in this type of lowly mountain . After all, this mountain was famous for its medicinal herbs and never had any dangers within . In fact, there was never a report that an overlord-level beast was residing here . Unfortunately, they met one .
"Grandpa, what are you saying?! If we will die, then we will die together! I will not leave your ass here dying! If I did, you think I can face my father? Our clan? You said that we will show them that we are worthy of being a member of Shi Clan!" Zin Shi, a beauty with a short red hair, said with determination . She was more than willing to die with her grandfather . After all, even they return to their clan, they were just treated as something that was worse than trash .
"Zin'er, what are you saying?! You are the hope of the clan in order to grow! The Shi Clan needs you! This old man is dying anyway . What's wrong with dying earlier?" Kam Shi said as he flicked the forehead of his granddaughter with affection . Although he was feeling numb all around his body, he could still smile .
Seeing the eyes of his grandfather filled with resolution and hope, Zin Shi bit her lower lip until it bled . She wanted to say something to rebuke his grandfather but she did not have the guts to do so . So she just planted her feet in the ground without moving . Even her legs were shaking in fear, she still chose to stand by his grandfather's side .
Kam Shi was speechless for a moment in his heart when he saw that his dear granddaughter had no plan of leaving . He sighed in his heart and said softly, "Silly girl, if you die with me here, do you think I can rest in peace? Please . . . just see this as my one last favor to you . You are still young . You have a long way to go, while me? I already reached mine and I'm more than satisfied with that . So, go now before that frog appears . I want you to live!"
"Grandfather . . . " Zin Shi's body trembled as she heard the words of her grandfather . At that moment, she was trying to weigh her grandfather and her dream . Which was more important? But whatever she chose, both would be satisfying for her even it meant dying . After all, she did not know how to live without her only kin .
Baaam! Baaaam!
A series of loud steps could be heard near the place where Zin Shi and Kam Shi was . Each step was like an earthquake with a terrifying magnet pulling them down .
"Zin'er, go! That frog is here! Go! Please, go! Just go!" Kam Shi said with a dark expression . He wiped the blood on the side of his lips and prepared himself . He turned his back and smiled saying, "Live on, my dear granddaughter . "
Whoooooooooosh!
Kam Shi charged forward in order to catch the attention of the incoming frog without turning back .
"Grandfather!!" Zin Shi's heart jumped in fright as she saw her grandfather recklessly charging forward just to catch the frog's sight . She knew that he did this for her to have time to run away as far as possible . However, her deep worry for her grandfather won over the reason for running away . Like a stone statue, she just dumbly stood there with her face pale white .
"Beast, I am here!" When Kam Shi caught sight of the beast, he immediately shouted to catch its attention . After all, what if it saw Zin Shi? Probably, it would target her first since she was young and meaty .
