Nine Rings C69
by MarineTL — Chapter 69: Reinforcements When I shone my flashlight down, I saw those birds landing one after another on the rotting hanging coffins around us. That was when I finally understood how those coffins had gotten so many holes. The birds were piercing the coffin boards with their talons, then thrusting their sharp beaks inside to peck at the corpses. Seeing me lying at the edge of the ledge and peering down, Lu Ayao suddenly crouched down and started unbuckling his backpack. Watching him, I asked, "What…

Nine Rings C101
by MarineTL — Chapter 101: The Buddha One Cannot Worship I slept comfortably, and my exhaustion quickly faded. The sound of water reached my ears, followed by a sudden drop landing on my face. The icy liquid startled me so much that I sat straight up from the ground. I wiped my face and found it wet with droplets. Water was still dripping from the cave ceiling, likely seeping through from deep within the rock. Tian Xiaoqi surprisingly hadn't woken me for night watch. She was lying beside me, her breathing…

Nine Rings C133
by MarineTL — Chapter 133 Bai Shenxian Generally speaking, whenever Lu Ayao came in, He Yu and I had to head out. Whether he was sleeping or completely ignoring what we were talking about, his presence made it pretty much impossible for us to talk freely. So when He Yu went out and didn't come back after ten minutes, I started climbing down from my bunk. Once my feet hit the floor, I saw Lu Ayao lying on the bottom bunk with his eyes closed, so I tiptoed out as well. As soon as I stepped outside and turned my…

Nine Rings C165
by MarineTL — Chapter 165: The White Corpse Turtle Immortal Hearing those words, I felt the hair on my arms stand on end. No matter how I interpreted that sentence, it felt incredibly bizarre. It was clearly a statement of foresight. There was no way the news of me learning the Art of Mechanisms could have reached the Tian Family; at least, that was what I believed at the time. But how did Tian Xiao know? How could he be so certain that I would eventually learn the Art of Mechanisms? Had my grandfather…

Nine Rings C197
by MarineTL — Chapter 197: Gan Rong He Yu frantically helped me get dressed. I dried my hair quickly with a towel and pulled on my jeans, nearly tumbling over in my haste. Fortunately, He Yu had quick reflexes; he caught me and tossed me onto the simple cot in the tent. "What's the rush? Get dressed properly. So what if your mom is here? Look at how scared you are. You didn't even look this terrified when you were in that snake den," he said, giving my jacket a couple of tugs and pulling it flat. I buckled my…

Nine Rings C229
by MarineTL — Chapter 229: Disappearance I lay flat, carefully scrutinizing the faces of those coming and going. I discovered that every single one of them was a familiar face, and the scale was even larger than the operation in Gansu. The sheer number of people involved made me feel as if I had been transported back to the Republican era. It was said that when Ye Yuzhu led his men to excavate tombs for treasure back then, it was on a similar scale. He Yu nudged me with his elbow. "Do you think we should take the…

Nine Rings C261
by MarineTL — Chapter 261: Miss Xiaoqi He Yu clearly thought this explanation was a bit far-fetched, but as the saying goes, "one does not believe in ghosts and gods until one has suffered." I was in a pathetic state—limbs weak, face pale, without a shred of strength left. The fissure was exceptionally narrow, forcing He Yu to drag me along as he crawled forward. Even with all that jostling, my eyelids kept drooping as I drifted in and out of consciousness. Eventually, I began to lose all sensation of my…

Nine Rings C293
by MarineTL — Chapter 293: The Visitor (Part 3) They tossed me into the car, likely the back seat given how spacious it felt. Two men were assigned to watch me, flanking me on either side. As soon as I sat down, I started feeling grateful that they hadn't bothered to gag me with cloth again. However, the hemp ropes were tied in tight knots; even with the right techniques, untying them would take time. I listened as the kidnappers climbed in and slammed the doors. Judging by the way the sound traveled, I estimated…
