Nine Rings C129
by MarineTL — Chapter 129: Poverty Comes First The spot where we entered the river was close to the riverbed. It was the middle of the night, and everything in sight was pitch black. This particular stretch of the river had a massive curve and a steep incline, causing the turbulent water to sweep He Yu and me apart. In water like that, there is nothing a person can do. The only option is to protect your internal organs from being punctured by the rocks. I drew the knife from my waist and let the current carry me…

Nine Rings C128
by MarineTL — Chapter 128 Entering the River "But we don't have time! It's crawling with Stone Horseshoe Crab Insects out there. Who knows where that tiny Qi Vent is in a place this big? Besides, this entire Underground Palace has undergone a massive shift in position. There's no telling if the Qi Vent has been blocked!" Han Jian spoke faster and faster, clearly gripped by panic. I listened from the side, just about to speak, when the entire Buddhist Pagoda suddenly began to shake violently. Several workers…

Nine Rings C127
by MarineTL — Chapter 127: The Qi Vent I hit the water at a terrifying speed. My head nearly grazed the edge of the stone bridge as I went in, followed immediately by my ankles. This was completely unexpected. As soon as the water submerged me, it began flooding into my windpipe. I choked, thrashing around for a bit before my strength began to fail. My blood dispersed into the water. Perhaps sensing the scent of gore, I saw an eight-legged Infant Corpse at the bottom suddenly snap open its pupil-less eyes and…

Nine Rings C126
by MarineTL — Chapter 126: Getting on the Bridge Seeing the three of us standing there like statues, Han Jian quickly circled around from behind. I felt that regardless of whether the plan was feasible, we had to inform Han Jian. We needed proper communication to adjust our strategy. Lu A'yao clearly shared my thoughts, so as soon as Han Jian arrived, he candidly explained everything we had come up with so far. This platform was quite large. While they were talking, I moved a few steps to the side, finding the…

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…

Chapter
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…

Chapter
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…
