Nine Rings C196
by MarineTL — Chapter 196: Explosion The white python hissed at me repeatedly, the scales behind its head flaring slightly. I didn't dare move a muscle. In an instant, the tomb chamber fell dead silent. He Yu, carrying Guangtou, was stepping across another crossbeam, already a dozen paces toward the center of the chamber. The black python coiled around a pillar, blocking the path between me and them. I could almost hear my own heartbeat. Within a single minute, eight or nine escape plans flashed through my mind,…

Nine Rings C228
by MarineTL — Chapter 228: Fourth Brother's Camp I only hesitated for a second before rolling out of my sleeping bag. My mind raced as I quickly grabbed the jacket by my pillow and pulled it on. Where had everyone gone? Out to relieve themselves? I reconsidered and immediately dismissed the thought. There was no damn reason for three men to go out together for that. What, one guy gets woken up by a full bladder and has to drag two others along so they can all pee in unison while discussing the meaning of…

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 C292
by MarineTL — Chapter 292: The Visitor (Part 2) From that day on, I spoke terribly little at home. Lu Ayao would often stare at me for a long time, unable to bring himself to say anything. I knew he wanted to persuade me to take my medication, but he was afraid of aggravating my condition like last time. Seeing me in such a bad mood, He Yu tried even harder to banter with me, but I rarely responded. The more he and Lu Ayao looked at me with that anxious gaze meant for a sick patient, the more irritable I…

Nine Rings C15
by MarineTL — Chapter 15: The Tunnel After a night's rest, Tian Yuqing brought us to a quaint little inn. That evening, we all gathered around a large round table for dinner. Lu A'yao went to the main table, while I was content to stay on the side with He Yu, picking at our food. But then Tian Yuqing had someone call us over to the main table. I couldn't refuse, so I reluctantly went over. The main table was in a private room, and as soon as I entered, I felt an overwhelming pressure. Seated around the large table…

Nine Rings C47
by MarineTL — Chapter 47: Setting the Table It was both a threat and an invitation. Someone from the shadows was urging me to investigate that old project, even going so far as to "thoughtfully" include two pages from the records—names and handwriting deliberately faded—just in case I didn’t get the hint. But why me? Why insist that I be the one to look into this? What if I just walked away and ignored it? Tian Xiao is still living peacefully with the Tian Family. If they wanted to uncover the truth about…

Nine Rings C79
by MarineTL — Chapter 79: Treasure-Hunting Market Over the next few days, He Yu and I split up our tasks. He was in charge of digging up Qiao Sangui’s current whereabouts, while I focused on attending classes and prepping for finals. The school had suddenly announced a sketching exam, and it nearly drove me crazy. I spent the whole week getting up at the crack of dawn and burning the midnight oil, terrified I’d flunk it. That said, He Yu turned out to be a lot more reliable than he looked. He was surprisingly…

Chapter
Nine Rings C111
by MarineTL — Chapter 111: Guangtou's Frankness On both sides closest to the stone wall, there were several rows of scattered shrines. I had noticed early on that while some of the shrines held statues, others were empty. My previous experience jumping across the stone pillars with Chen Canghai had made me instinctively connect this to the Big Dipper. Across the fourteen shrines on both sides, the positions holding statues corresponded exactly to the seven stars of the Big Dipper. Based on my experience, before…
