Nine Rings C248
by MarineTL — Chapter 248: The Trump Card Tian Xiao circled the area and returned, his expression grave as he spoke to me. "There is no Houtu Blood here. Could the legends be false?" Lu Ayao had guessed correctly; their true objective was indeed to find the legendary elixir of immortality. Our current position should have been the deepest part of the tomb. The stone coffin in the center of the Underworld Hall was undoubtedly the sarcophagus of the King of Gune. If the legends of the Houtu Blood were true, he…

Nine Rings C247
by MarineTL — Chapter 247: The Bronze Coffin The moment the trigger was pulled, the gun suddenly blew up right next to my ear. That damn rifle actually exploded! The explosion instantly took out the guy who fired it. The gun must have been soaked through when it fell into the water earlier. This model wasn't waterproof. I thought it would be fine once it dried out, but clearly, I was wrong. When I was fighting the giant bats earlier, the gun had been knocked away before I could use it. It was a stroke of luck that…

Nine Rings C246
by MarineTL — Chapter 246: Imminent Disaster After thinking it over for a moment, I decided we couldn't let Old Qian and Han Zhuo keep eating like this. Even if it were real mutton, eating like this would definitely cause problems. I quickly conferred with He Yu, and we decided to use the hemp rope in the shop to tie up the two crazed men first. He Yu would stay behind in the shop to keep an eye on them while I scouted the nearby area to see if there were any other discoveries. Old Qian and Han Zhuo's eyes were…

Nine Rings C245
by MarineTL — Chapter 245: Mutton Soup While Old Qian spoke off to the side, I slung my gun over my shoulder and walked up to a dried corpse. It was the first cross-legged corpse at the far end of the hall, dressed in a gold-embroidered robe with a crown on its head. A jade tablet lay by its feet, inscribed: "Guide to the Underworld, Pass for Clearance." In ancient times, entering a city required a clearance document or travel permit, and I figured this was likely one of those. Carved on the back of the tablet were…

Nine Rings C244
by MarineTL — Chapter 244 Ascension to Immortality The moment the words left my mouth, I felt three strange gazes lock onto me. I looked back and saw Old Qian and the others staring at me with expressions that were hard to describe. He Yu stepped up and pulled me away from the two human skins, whispering, "When did you get so reckless? That thing is so... so hideously ugly. Who would dare carry it on their back?" I narrowed my eyes at him, wondering if he was just chickening out. Seeing my look, He Yu…

Nine Rings C243
by MarineTL — Chapter 243: Human Skin I coughed as I leaned over the jade railing of the long bridge, glancing back toward the hole we had fallen through. To my shock, I realized it wasn't just a hole, but a carved stone dragon head protruding from the ceiling of the cavern. It looked incredibly sinister. This wasn't a dragon from traditional mythology, but a multi-legged insectoid creature with long, centipede-like feelers. I estimated the distance between us and the creature and began to worry. "This is going to…

Nine Rings C242
by MarineTL — Chapter 242: The Child "So what you're saying is, we took the wrong path? This place doesn't connect to the burial chambers below?" He Yu asked. I explained to him that the lack of water sounds only proved there were no mechanisms down here that relied on water power to operate. In short, it wasn't the kind of trap where stepping on a tile would trigger a drop-panel. However, that didn't rule out the possibility that this was still a mechanism at its core. Something like a mechanical lock, for…

Chapter
Nine Rings C241
by MarineTL — Chapter 241: Two Dragons Playing with a Pearl While I was still studying those ever-burning lamps, He Yu had already moved a significant distance ahead. I wasn't worried about him going off alone because the situation here was quite different from many we had encountered before. The ever-burning lamps hanging on the walls provided a wide field of vision, so even if He Yu walked far ahead, I could easily keep track of his position. After running ahead for a bit, he doubled back. "I feel like this tomb…
