Nine Rings C167
by MarineTL — Chapter 167: Wrapped Ancient Corpses As he spoke, I began to survey our surroundings. This was a new side chamber, more than twice the size of the previous one with the caisson ceiling and the tortoise, but the ceiling was relatively low. I wasn't sure why it had been designed that way. We sat in a corner of the side chamber, leaning against the wall. The walls here weren't as damp as before. I guessed we were deeper inside now, and this was likely just a simple storage area for funerary objects, as…

Nine Rings C168
by MarineTL — Chapter 168: The Ancient Corpse's Waist Token He Yu let out a confused "Huh?", but Lu Ayao's expression remained dead serious, without a hint of a joke in his voice. The two of them stood there, staring at each other in a silent standoff for a long time. In a rare moment of explanation, Lu Ayao said, "I can use the compass to set our direction. If we're fast enough, we should be able to lose them. But judging by the size of that Tomb-guarding Beast outside, this tomb is massive. It's likely a long…

Nine Rings C169
by MarineTL — Chapter 169: Master Jiyun's Ominous Tomb? "Master Jiyun? Why does that name sound so familiar?" He Yu stared up at the sky, looking like he was thinking hard. After a long moment, he let out a sudden "Oh!" of realization. "I remember now! He's that Feng Shui master!" I noticed that after I voiced my suspicion, Lu Ayao fell into a rare silence. I had a strong premonition that if the records in the Lu Family Ancestral Hall were the only things proving Master Jiyun's historical existence, then Lu Ayao's…

Nine Rings C170
by MarineTL — Chapter 170: Parting Ways I was completely baffled by his words. I looked up at the column-head bracket sets in the Spirit Path. These architectural elements weren't commonly used in tomb passages; they were more typical of palaces. The designer had likely incorporated them into the Spirit Path to provide a robust structural barrier, offering significant support. However, I soon realized that I had never seen this particular style of bracket set before. Every joint and connection was unusual, and the…

Nine Rings C171
by MarineTL — Chapter 171: The Mechanism Tian Xiaoqi and I continued forward along the plank path. The walkway, constructed from linked iron chains, was incredibly unstable. I had no idea how deep the darkness below went or how high up we were, so I didn't dare move too fast. This slowed our pace to a crawl, forcing us to stop every three steps. After walking for over half an hour, sweat pouring down my face, I shone my flashlight toward the end of the rift. I discovered the path was nearly at an end, and not far…

Chapter
Nine Rings C172
by MarineTL — Chapter 172: Severe Injuries The massive grinding of stone and the whistling of wind roared in my ears. Simultaneously, an even louder sound emerged. At first, I thought it was the resonance of dozens of stone beams moving in unison, but after listening for a while, I realized with a jolt of alarm that it wasn't. The realization hit when my leg touched a relief on the rock wall. It was a turtle-faced immortal holding a banner. This immediately put me on high alert, because this rock wall should have…

Nine Rings C173
by MarineTL — Chapter 173: The Dead Man's Credentials The passage ahead reached its first corner. He Yu stopped and shone his flashlight at the ground. "Whoa! Your analysis was spot on. Look at all this sand and these footprints. They're a mess. Looks like quite a few people from that damn archaeology team made it in!" I was leaning against He Yu's back, my chest hurting too much to even stand up straight. I could only listen as he described the scene. "We've been seeing these footprints all along the way, but…

Chapter
Nine Rings C161
by MarineTL — Chapter 161: The Abandoned Research Institute I huddled in the corner as the world returned to silence once more. I crouched there with my eyes shut, waiting for a long while, but no monsters came rushing out. Only then did I slowly move my backpack aside, trembling as I swept my flashlight toward the source of the noise. Under the beam of my flashlight, I saw porcelain shards scattered across the floor. The ceramics in this burial chamber were all placed inside niches in the stone wall. There was no…
