Nine Rings C125
by MarineTL — Chapter 125: Eighteenth Floor Buddhist Pagoda "We wandered in the maze for a long time. Eventually, we had no choice but to use detonators, hoping to blast our way out bit by bit. We didn't expect the path we blew open to be covered in saltpeter. The first blast triggered a chain reaction, causing countless explosions. Almost all our people were lost inside. Only a few of us managed to crawl out." We stood in the stone passage listening to Han Jian. I suddenly began to understand the message someone…

Nine Rings C124
by MarineTL — Chapter 124: Meeting Han Jian Again When I heard the term "Corpse Beetle," I froze for a moment. I wasn't entirely sure what the experts meant by that name, but seeing these creatures that could "turn into" stones, I instinctively thought of some kind of arthropod scavenger. Once they unfolded, they looked far too much like living shrimp with fangs. "These aren't Corpse Beetles. They are Stone Horseshoe Crab Insects. Their eyesight is poor, but their hearing is very sensitive. We need to leave this…

Nine Rings C123
by MarineTL — Chapter 123: Stone I forced myself to sleep for half an hour. When He Yu woke up, his movements were clumsy. The tomb robber's tunnel was too cramped, and he must have cramped up in his sleep. As soon as he woke, he gave a massive stretch to loosen up and accidentally knocked into the flashlight nearby. The light woke me instantly. Looking back, I saw Chen Canghai had also sat up. He seemed to be a light sleeper, waking at the slightest movement. With his youthful, innocent face, I didn't really care…

Nine Rings C122
by MarineTL — Chapter 122: The Lu Family's Curse I have a hunch. According to what Tian Xiaoqi said, they were all carried into this Underground Palace by the water. If that is the case, had Han Jian's people already reached the area we are in now? Were they heading straight for the core along the waterway? That would explain why they sent a warning over the walkie-talkie. If this passage connects to the pool of stagnant water beneath the stone pillars, did they also encounter the stones Lu A'yao mentioned, the…

Nine Rings C121
by MarineTL — Chapter 121: Black Taisui - 2 "N-no, what's wrong? Is there a problem?" I felt a chill down my spine as the three of them stared at me. After a moment of silence, He Yu tugged at Lu A'yao. "Alright, alright, let's stop the damn guessing. No matter how dire the situation was, the point is that Little Yao survived. That's the best outcome, right?" I was completely lost. Once Lu A'yao let go, I quickly pulled my sleeves down. These guys had overactive imaginations. I didn't know what they were…

Nine Rings C120
by MarineTL — Chapter 120: Black Taisui - 1 Despite what he said, I still found it strange. This underground palace was a relic of the Shang-Zhou Period, meaning those Lotus Bodhisattvas must have been here for at least three thousand years. If Jiang Qiaozi merely worshipping them affected his children, what would happen to Lu A'yao after he blew them up with explosives? On second thought, if the curse only manifested in the next generation, Lu A'yao didn't have much to fear for now. As long as he didn't get…

Chapter
Nine Rings C119
by MarineTL — Chapter 119: The Lotus Bodhisattva Seeing that he was awake, I crawled over. Lu A'yao was leaning against the deepest part of the tomb robber's tunnel. This tunnel was only a small section leading to the waterway below. When I first entered, I noticed a shovel head lying near Lu A'yao's backpack, but the thing was completely ruined. I suspected he had dug this section of the tunnel himself, working from the bottom up. He had rested for two hours. We had applied anti-inflammatory medicine to his…

Chapter
Nine Rings C118
by MarineTL — Chapter 118: A Good Meal I didn't say anything. Chen Canghai rarely crawled over from the other end, but he had clearly overheard our conversation. "I don't know what happened between you two," he said, "but in our current situation, we should try not to harbor too many suspicions. We can just ask him these questions once he wakes up." Chen Canghai's words actually cleared up the things I hadn't been able to figure out. I sat cross-legged in the tunnel, looking at the cut on my palm. "You're…
