Nine Rings C37
by MarineTL — Chapter 37: Cave-In By the time I woke up again, two days had already passed. What roused me wasn’t a medic or a teammate, but the smell of instant noodles cooked by one of the Tian Family crew. Moving corpses, a centipede-like creature the size of a train—those things felt like a nightmare. Only the rain tapping against the tent reminded me it wasn’t. And it wasn’t over yet. I sat up in bed, wrapped in a blanket, slurping instant noodles from a stainless steel lunchbox while the guy tending the…

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 C16
by MarineTL — Chapter 16: The Dragon Trapped by Flowing Water I couldn't understand why Tian Yuqing insisted on having our team and the Tan family's workers go down first. From what I know of him, he's shrewd and efficient, never doing anything pointless. There must be a reason he's keeping the archaeological team from going down first, but whether it's for profit, I can't tell. "Have you finished arguing?" Before Wu Yili could respond, Lu A'yao's voice came from inside the cave. He emerged from the low tunnel, his…

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…

Chapter
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.…

Chapter
Nine Rings C27
by MarineTL — Chapter 27: The Nine Murals He Yu blocked me in the crevice and tossed me a fruit knife. “Stay here!” With that, he dashed out to help. But once more people showed up, I wasn’t scared anymore. Orders like that don’t work on me in moments like this—both of them had gone out, how could I just sit here like a scared dog? I picked up the fruit knife and squeezed out of the crevice. What I saw was a giant centipede-like creature, several meters long, lying on the ground with its belly split open.…
