Nine Rings C69
by MarineTL — Chapter 69: Reinforcements When I shone my flashlight down, I saw the birds landing one after another on the decaying hanging coffins. That’s when I finally understood how those coffins had gotten so many holes. The birds were piercing the coffin boards with their claws, then thrusting their sharp beaks inside to peck at the corpses. Seeing me lying at the edge of the ledge, peering downward, Lu A'yao suddenly crouched and began unfastening his backpack. Watching his movements, I asked, “What are…

Nine Rings C101
by MarineTL — Chapter 101: The Buddha One Cannot Worship That sleep was incredibly restorative, and my exhaustion quickly faded. The sound of water reached my ears, followed by a sudden drop of water landing on my face. The icy liquid startled me so much that I sat up instantly. I wiped my face, only to find it covered in droplets. Water was still dripping from the cave ceiling, likely seeping through from deep within the rock. Tian Xiaoqi surprisingly hadn't woken me for my watch. She was lying beside me, her…

Nine Rings C48
by MarineTL — Chapter 48: Ghost Mountain It was two days later when I finally got another call from Hou Jinshan. The bastard had just gotten off the train at nine in the morning and was already sitting in the private room I’d reserved, waiting for me. I’m not a morning person, so I basically just splashed some water on my face and stumbled out the door half-asleep. I was in a foul mood, and even my footsteps carried a stormy air. Xiao Wu had handled things well. He’d booked a room near the stairs, where there…

Nine Rings C80
by MarineTL — Chapter 80: Into the Thieves' Den I was a little surprised by He Yu’s conclusion. He spoke with such certainty, which probably meant he’d seen plenty of these kinds of antique markets before. But he also said places like this were full of hidden traps, and without someone familiar to guide you, you were bound to get ripped off. I gave a noncommittal “oh” and lifted my leg to step into the village, but He Yu grabbed my arm. He was so nervous he started stammering, “Y-you-you’re just going…

Nine Rings C112
by MarineTL — Chapter 112: Reinforcements from the Heavens I wondered if he was being a bit dramatic. Lu A'yao had only exchanged a few words with Tian Yuqing, so how did they end up being labeled as thick as thieves? Besides, even if he really was in league with Tian Yuqing, the man was still Tian Xiaoqi's cousin. She couldn't possibly fly into a murderous rage just because she couldn't get the answers she wanted, right? "This is a bit much, isn't it?" I forced a chuckle. Baldy waved a hand dismissively.…

Nine Rings C59
by MarineTL — Chapter 59: Man Eats Man My limbs were pinned down, unable to move. Deep down, I had already sensed something like this might happen, but I reacted far too slowly. If it had been Tian Yuqing in my place, he would've had a strategy prepared and a contingency plan ready. At the very least, he wouldn't have ended up in such a pitiful position like I had. To say I was one of the rare geniuses among the juniors of the Five Masters was giving me way too much credit. Calling me the most outstanding idiot…

Nine Rings C91
by MarineTL — Chapter 91: Breaking Free This wasn’t the first time I’d been bitten by a snake. When I was a kid, I got too caught up playing and wrestling in the grass with some friends. Just my luck, I landed right on a snake that had been lounging in the shade. I must’ve disturbed its nap, because it twisted its neck and sank its fangs into me. Thankfully, it wasn’t venomous, but it still left me miserable for quite a while. The more I thought about it, the more annoyed I became. In the end, it was just…

Chapter
Nine Rings C38
by MarineTL — Chapter 38: He Yu’s Theory We carried the injured men into the tent—many with broken arms and legs. He Yu’s left leg was in bad shape, a large chunk of flesh bitten off by those insects. Tian Yuqing and Tan Qiu didn’t look so good either; we must’ve lost quite a few people down there. Those few days had left me utterly drained. I tore the rune-covered white paper from the wall, stuffed it into my backpack, and collapsed into rest. I slept for two full days straight, and when I finally woke up,…
