Nine Rings C122
by MarineTL — Chapter 122: The Lu Clan's Curse I had a hunch. According to what Tian Xiaoqi said, they were all carried into this underground palace by the water. If that was the case, had Han Jian's people already reached the area we were in now? Were they heading straight for the core along the waterway? That would explain why they sent a warning over the walkie-talkie. If this passage connected to the pool of stagnant water beneath the stone pillars, did they also encounter the stones Lu Ayao mentioned—the…

Nine Rings C154
by MarineTL — Chapter 154: A Dead End The cold sea breeze blew as everyone huddled together, holding their meals. I had come up late and was standing on the outer edge of the crowd. When He Yu saw me, he forced his way through several workers to clear a path, insisting I stand next to Liu Wan. I hadn't realized how intense it would be until I got there. My heart began to race as dozens of eyes fixed simultaneously on me and Liu Wan. Given my usual nerves, where even giving a school presentation required a period…

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…

Nine Rings C218
by MarineTL — Chapter 218: The Linhu Expedition "Since Northwest Outdoor has turned into such a mess, and the snow is so thick, there's definitely more than one Man-Bear in these woods. These things are wicked and known for being fiercely vengeful. We just killed one, and if we stay here, we might face retaliation from its entire lineage. If you ask me, we should pack up and head back early instead of freezing out here for nothing." He Yu rubbed his hands together vigorously. The guy had clearly wanted to leave…

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 C282
by MarineTL — Chapter 282: The Chess Player (Tian Family Side Story) Tian Yuqing stood in the courtyard, watching the small waterfall cascading down from the top of the rockery. An auntie of the household was scattering feed into the fishpond. The fat, oversized koi were round and plump, sluggishly swaying their tails back and forth as they opened their mouths to eat. After two rounds of feeding, the auntie collected her basin and returned inside. As she passed Tian Yuqing, she gave him a slight nod. Tian Yuqing…

Nine Rings C05
by MarineTL — Chapter 5: No Solution I'm a low-key person. Even without Fourth Brother's reminders, I would naturally avoid discussing it. The Outer Eight Trades desperately lack experts in mechanisms. Even a superficial understanding often gets one called upon for tasks, let alone someone like me who has studied for over a decade. Both my grandfather and Fourth Brother are in complete agreement about whether I should enter this field. I tend to oversimplify certain issues, and my grandfather believes I sometimes…

Chapter
Nine Rings C37
by MarineTL — Chapter 37: Cave-In By the time I woke up again, two days had already passed. What roused me wasn’t a medic or a teammate, but the smell of instant noodles cooked by one of the Tian Family crew. Moving corpses, a centipede-like creature the size of a train—those things felt like a nightmare. Only the rain tapping against the tent reminded me it wasn’t. And it wasn’t over yet. I sat up in bed, wrapped in a blanket, slurping instant noodles from a stainless steel lunchbox while the guy tending…
