Nine Rings C262
by MarineTL — Chapter 262: The Giant Centipede People naturally become desensitized when sudden tragedy strikes. The moment a blow falls, the mind triggers a defense mechanism that provides a temporary escape from the pain. This is why He Yu and I sat there in a daze for a long time after Tian Xiaoqi stopped breathing in my arms. We sat so long that time seemed to lose all meaning. The blood on my hands had turned cold. A chilly wind blew in from outside the tent, making He Yu shudder. He jolted to his senses,…

Nine Rings C261
by MarineTL — Chapter 261: Miss Xiaoqi He Yu clearly thought this explanation was a bit far-fetched, but as the saying goes, "one does not believe in ghosts and gods until one has suffered." I was in a pathetic state—limbs weak, face pale, without a shred of strength left. The fissure was exceptionally narrow, forcing He Yu to drag me along as he crawled forward. Even with all that jostling, my eyelids kept drooping as I drifted in and out of consciousness. Eventually, I began to lose all sensation of my…

Nine Rings C260
by MarineTL — Chapter 260: Near Death The air before me was thick with a yellow fog of swirling sand. I ran about a hundred meters into the haze, losing all sense of direction. I nearly slammed headfirst into a rock that materialized out of the mist, leaving me spinning in circles. Just as I came to a halt, I spotted an idiot standing nearby, clutching a rifle and squinting desperately through the yellow fog. I wasn't about to let such a gift go to waste. I picked up a stone the size of a brick, weighed it in my…

Nine Rings C26
by MarineTL — Chapter 26: Bug Hunt The two of us huddled together and drank a little water. Worried that the Coffin and Outer Coffin behind us might have been pried open by those bugs, we crawled forward for another half an hour. The tunnel was narrow—whoever carved these passages must have been unusually short. I kept banging my head or scraping my back, making every inch of progress a struggle. The tunnel twisted and turned. Though there were no sheer drops or vertical climbs, a few steep slopes angled at…

Nine Rings C259
by MarineTL — Chapter 259: Yellow Sands Tian Xiaoqi and I were both people of action. It was mostly a case of newborn calves not fearing the tiger; once we set a goal, we moved immediately. This group was more extravagant than us, using several flashlights at once as they threaded through the stone crevices. These lights served an important purpose: even if we didn't follow closely, we could still determine their position and numbers. Since we were hidden in the dark and they were unaware of our presence, this was…

Nine Rings C258
by MarineTL — Chapter 258: The Bait I switched on my flashlight. The surroundings were composed of the same wavy rock layers as the area above, but these were clearly much older. The terrain had completely changed, forming a massive cluster of rock formations. Layers of stone from different eras were stacked atop one another, leaving only a narrow passage just wide enough for one person to pass through. I took a deep breath and turned to Tian Xiaoqi. "He Yu and those other guys fell down here too. No telling where…

Nine Rings C257
by MarineTL — Chapter 257: Stepping into Pit-traps We passed through the center of a stone fissure that had split open beneath Yellow Wind Ravine. This crack had been open for a long time, and even now, there were still fissures beneath the ground we walked upon. If you lay flat on the ground, you could see a pitch-black chasm reaching deep into the mountain ridge. In the years to come, it was highly likely that these mountain cracks would continue to split further. Beyond Yellow Wind Ravine lay a stretch of…

Nine Rings C256
by MarineTL — Chapter 256: Following the Map Wu Yili pulled the two fragmented pieces of the Burial Bone Testament from his bag and held them out to Qian Shizhong. Pushing his glasses up the bridge of his nose, he spoke before I could get a word in. "I must ask you to help us decipher this map, old gentleman. Where exactly in Northern Shaanxi is the location indicated on this human skin map?" Qian Shizhong closed his eyes and turned his head away. Leaning both hands on his cane, he showed no intention of…
