Nine Rings C255
by MarineTL — Chapter 255: Qian Shizhong Once Fourth Brother finished his deployments, his men began moving to their respective tasks. They hauled their gear into the beds of the pickup trucks. He Yu and I stood up, preparing to follow, but as we passed Fourth Brother, he grabbed me by the collar and waved He Yu toward one of the trucks to take a seat. "How much do you know about your great-grandfather's affairs?" Fourth Brother hooked an arm around my neck and pulled me toward the lead pickup. That truck was…

Nine Rings C254
by MarineTL — Chapter 254: The Cold Shoulder I cracked the whip across the horse's flank, and Kuba's mount shot forward instantly. Gripping the reins with one hand and swinging the whip with the other, I galloped across the vast expanse of the grasslands. As soon as I surged out, I heard the locals shouting behind us on the prairie, drinking mare's milk wine and cheering with laughter. The horse followed the trail Tian Xiaoqi had left for about a li. Once the locals' campfires faded out of sight, I spotted her in…

Nine Rings C253
by MarineTL — Chapter 253: Something Unexpected Feeling a lingering sense of worry, I went back to the tents to ask around. I learned that Chen Canghai and Kuba had reacted quickly when the earthquake struck; they hadn't fallen into the fissures. Once Fourth Brother found them, he had them forcibly sent back. Following Tian Yuqing's instructions, I handed the entire Burial Bone Testament over to Fourth Brother. However, I kept the copper piece that had come out of it for myself. Tian Yuqing hadn't mentioned it, so…

Nine Rings C252
by MarineTL — Chapter 252: Going with the Flow I tossed the blood-stained bullet onto the ground and wrapped the bleeding wound tightly with gauze. A numbing wave of pain followed immediately. Leaning against the cave wall, my vision swam in dizzying pulses. I sat on the ground for a while to recover; the pain was so intense I felt the urge to vomit. Having eaten nothing, I had nothing to bring up, so I simply dry-heaved a few times before using the wall to pull myself to my feet. He Yu came over to support me,…

Nine Rings C251
by MarineTL — Chapter 251: The Bullet He Yu attached three safety carabiners to the last twenty-meter rope, clipping them onto my belt and Old Qian's. He didn't even know which rock crevice he had jammed the end of the rope into, but as long as it held for ten seconds, we had a chance of survival. This was a last resort. We had lost our supply packs back in the Royal City, and this solitary rope was far too thin. We certainly couldn't count on it holding for long. In other words, my signal to He Yu wasn't meant…

Nine Rings C250
by MarineTL — Chapter 250: Flight I had Old Qian help me steady the two weak flashlights, then built a coordinate system in my mind based on the ring of projected starlight shadows. Using this system, I could pinpoint the horizontal and vertical positions of each star. After a quick look, I knelt on the ground, opened my tool kit, and pulled out a bent Cloud-Probing Needle. This needle was unique, with a small spring at the tip that allowed it to expand and contract automatically once inside the keyhole. I used…

Nine Rings C25
by MarineTL — Chapter 25: A Twenty-Six-Year-Old Minor I smacked He Yu hard on the shoulder. “Don’t just stand there! Move!” The slap snapped him out of it. The two of us crouched low, eyes on the ceiling as we hurriedly backed toward the Coffin and Outer Coffin. We’d barely taken two steps when a beam of flashlight flickered—and in that brief flash, I saw it. A pale corpse clinging to the rock wall, gliding sideways like a spider. “Shit! Is that a Corpse Reanimation?” He Yu clearly saw it too. He…

Nine Rings C249
by MarineTL — Chapter 249: Decoding Tian Xiao looked at me and said, "If my information is correct, you already have a certain understanding of the Nine-Ring Jade Casket." His sudden question instantly severed the faint connections forming in my mind. I didn't know where he had gotten his information, but I had to admit he was right. I had already sketched out the basic internal diagram of the casket. Opening it was simply a matter of arranging the beads inside correctly; I was just one final step away. He…
