Nine Rings C185
by MarineTL — Chapter 185: The First Watch We found a relatively low spot and helped each other up, pushing and pulling in a clumsy scramble. Despite the undignified process, we finally managed to scale the canal wall, which stood as high as a city rampart. Once I was up, I helped Lu Ayao while scanning our surroundings. The canal stretched out before us, so long that its ends were lost to sight. He Yu leaned in and tapped my shoulder, pointing toward the opposite side. "Look over there. Don't those look like the…

Nine Rings C186
by MarineTL — Chapter 186: Possessed This was essentially my first time keeping watch. I leaned back against the rock behind me, occasionally tearing off a corner of my notebook to toss into the fire in front of me. The flames were small, but it was enough to keep the fire going. Sitting there alone, it was inevitable that I'd start to feel drowsy. I couldn't let myself fall asleep, so I decided to find something to do. I borrowed Tian Xiaoqi's medical kit, took out some gauze, alcohol, cotton balls, and…

Nine Rings C187
by MarineTL — Chapter 187: Meeting an Old Acquaintance I grabbed He Yu by the collar, dragging and pulling him back toward safety. Just as I started to move, I suddenly heard a strange sound from outside. It wasn't coming from Tian Xiaoqi's direction, but from the steep cliff above. Sensing something was wrong, I immediately stopped dragging him and crouched down, quickly switching off my flashlight. My position was extremely awkward; I was lying flat right at the edge of the pit, with He Yu's head in the hole and…

Nine Rings C188
by MarineTL — Chapter 188: Acting The moment He Yu and I heard those words, we immediately ducked our heads. However, our position was quite far away and relatively safe. If He Yu hadn't been possessed and led me on a blind trek, I never would have reached this spot. I figured Qiao Sangui and his men would only search the immediate vicinity of the Snake-Tortoise at most. Besides, there were only five of them, making it impossible to conduct a search over such a wide area. Now it all depended on whether Lu Ayao and…

Nine Rings C189
by MarineTL — Chapter 189: The Counter-Kill Qiao Sangui looked at me and gave a dry laugh. "Fine, fine. Keep spinning your stories. I actually quite like this 'sacrifice for your comrades' act, but Young Master Gan, there's no such thing as loyalty in the world of tomb raiding. If you want to be a hero, you have to pay the price." He grabbed my arm and dragged me toward the Snake-Tortoise. He Yu followed behind, shoved along by Guangtou. With every shove, He Yu cursed, "Stop fucking pushing me! I have legs, I can…

Chapter
Nine Rings C190
by MarineTL — Chapter 190: Entering the Hall Hearing the time Lu Ayao mentioned, I instantly lost all desire to enter the Stone Ship in front of us. Going into the Main Hall would undoubtedly waste a lot of time. I didn't care much about whatever gold, silver, or jewels were buried inside; I cared far more about the safety of our team. I looked up and shone my flashlight toward the open space above the Stone Ship, but the ceiling of the Main Hall was too high. Relying on our few small flashlights, we couldn't…

Nine Rings C178
by MarineTL — Chapter 178: Charcoal-Grilled Turtles Startled, I spotted a Stone Tortoise statue in the corner of the tomb passage. Taking two quick steps, I used the Stone Tortoise as a foothold to scramble up the wall. Just as I poked my head over the top, I realized Lu Ayao was right on the other side of the wall, directly beneath me. At that exact moment, he cracked his whip, sending a White Corpse Turtle Immortal flying just as it was about to lunge for his face. In the past, whenever Lu Ayao used his whip or…

Nine Rings C179
by MarineTL — Chapter 179: The Builder The moment I crawled into the hole, a chilling draft snaked down my collar. I rubbed my arms and scrambled forward a few steps. The interior of the Stone Tortoise Mouth was absolute darkness. I hadn't been crawling long before my flashlight flickered and died. I figured I'd dropped it one too many times; it was about time for it to be scrapped anyway. There were four of us and three flashlights left. Even without mine, I had Lu Ayao's light ahead to guide the way, so I wasn't…
