Nine Rings C246

by MarineTL — Chapter 246: Imminent Disaster After a moment's consideration, I decided I couldn't let Old Qian and Han Zhuo keep eating like this. Even if it were real mutton, eating at that pace would lead to disaster. I quickly conferred with He Yu, and we decided to use the hemp rope found in the shop to tie up the two crazed men. He Yu would stay behind to watch them while I scouted the nearby area for any other clues. Old Qian and Han Zhuo's eyes were bloodshot. When they looked up from their bowls, they gave…

Nine Rings C245

by MarineTL — Chapter 245: Mutton Soup Old Qian spoke from the side as I carried my gun over to one of the dried corpses. This was the first cross-legged corpse at the end of the hall, dressed in a gold-threaded embroidered robe with a crown on its head. A jade tablet lay by its feet, inscribed with the words: "Guide to the Underworld, Pass for Clearance." In ancient times, entering a city required a travel permit or a guide document, and I figured this was likely one of those. There were smaller characters carved on…

Nine Rings C244

by MarineTL — Chapter 244 Ascension to Immortality The moment the words left my mouth, I felt three strange gazes lock onto me. I looked back and saw Old Qian and the others staring at me with expressions that were hard to describe. He Yu stepped forward and pulled me away from the two human skins. "Have you lost your mind lately?" he whispered. "That... that thing is so hideous. Who would dare carry it on their back?" I narrowed my eyes at him, wondering if he was just being a coward. Seeing my look, He Yu…

Nine Rings C243

by MarineTL — Chapter 243: Human Skin I coughed as I leaned over the jade railing of the long bridge, glancing back toward the hole we had fallen through. To my shock, I realized it wasn't just a hole, but a carved stone dragon head protruding from the ceiling of the cavern. It looked incredibly sinister. This wasn't a dragon from traditional mythology, but a multi-legged insectoid creature with long, centipede-like feelers. I estimated the distance between us and the creature and began to worry. "This is going to…

Nine Rings C242

by MarineTL — Chapter 242: The Child "So what you're saying is, we took the wrong path? This place doesn't connect to the burial chambers below?" He Yu asked. I explained to him that the lack of rushing water only proved there were no mechanisms down here that relied on water power to operate. In short, it wasn't the kind of trap where stepping on a floorboard would trigger a flipping panel. However, that didn't rule out the possibility that this was still a mechanism at its core. Something like a mechanical lock,…

Nine Rings C241

by MarineTL — Chapter 241: Two Dragons Playing with a Pearl While I was still studying those ever-burning lamps, He Yu had already moved a significant distance ahead. I wasn't worried about him going off alone because the situation here was quite different from many we had encountered before. The ever-burning lamps hanging on the passage walls provided a wide field of vision; even if He Yu walked quite far, I could easily keep track of his position. After running ahead for a bit, he doubled back. "I feel like this…

Nine Rings C240

by MarineTL — Chapter 240: The Tomb Passage Right by the stone wall to the left behind the door, several slabs of bluestone extended from the crevices. We planned to follow these slabs down to see if there was a passage at the bottom of the pit leading into the mausoleum. Before stepping onto the bluestone, I took a moment to estimate everyone's weight. I had no idea how many years those slabs had been wedged into the wall; they might have become incredibly brittle. Stepping on them with too much weight risked a…

Nine Rings C239

by MarineTL — Chapter 239: Entering the Linhu Tomb "What do you think? Should we head up and take a look?" He Yu asked me. Old Qian and I both gave him an incredibly certain look. Setting aside the fact that we'd been falling all this way and didn't even know our exact location, if the King of Gune's tomb had truly been shaken loose by that sudden earthquake and was sitting right behind that stone door, there was no way we were passing up the chance. Besides, I had a feeling that the group of freaks who had headed…
