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…

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 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…

Chapter
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…

Chapter
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…

Chapter
Nine Rings C184
by MarineTL — Chapter 184: Exploding Corpses We rearranged our positions entirely. In truth, doing this was merely for psychological comfort. Lu Ayao was capable, but with both ends of the passage open, he couldn't possibly guard both sides at once if those ancient corpses appeared again. One side of our group was bound to be left to fend for itself. We had considered another approach: finding the hidden passage first before lighting the Shengxi Material. However, we quickly realized that wouldn't work. Without…

Chapter
Nine Rings C183
by MarineTL — Chapter 183: Analysis Looking back, what I said really did have a "waking a dreamer with a single sentence" effect. Everyone's mood was terrible. If I hadn't restrained myself just now, and my first reaction to He Yu hitting me had been to strike back, we would probably all be brawling in this tunnel right now. The most ridiculous thing wouldn't be getting hurt in an accident, but being beaten senseless by your own teammates and bleeding to death here. That sudden wave of irritability had appeared…

Chapter
Nine Rings C182
by MarineTL — Chapter 182: Internal Strife He Yu squinted as he leaned forward in front of me. After observing for a moment, he let out a sound of confusion. "Huh? That's not right. This doesn't look like it was built out of stone. Look at the material. How does it look so much like concrete?" His eyesight had always been good, at least much better than mine. Hearing him say that, I hurriedly leaned into the beam of his flashlight to take a look. At a glance, I realized He Yu might actually be right this time. The…
