Nine Rings C182
by MarineTL — Chapter 182: Internal Strife He Yu squinted as he leaned forward in front of me. After observing for a moment, he let out a sound of confusion. "Huh? That's not right. This doesn't look like it was built out of stone. Look at the material. How does it look so much like concrete?" His eyesight had always been good, at least much better than mine. Hearing him say that, I hurriedly leaned into the beam of his flashlight to take a look. At a glance, I realized He Yu might actually be right this time. The…

Nine Rings C181
by MarineTL — Chapter 181: The Wall of the Dead But how could there be people talking inside the walls! The realization made my entire body go rigid. Lu Ayao didn't loosen his grip on me at all, clearly afraid that if my terror reached a certain point, I might bolt and crash into the wall. My eyes had mostly adjusted to the darkness by now. I opened them wide, desperately trying to see if any strange new figures had appeared in the tunnel. Unfortunately, despite my searching, nothing new had emerged. Instead,…

Nine Rings C180
by MarineTL — Chapter 180: Whispers As soon as he said those words, I clearly heard Tian Xiaoqi and He Yu gasp behind me. I was the only one who didn't have much of a reaction; his statement was within my expectations. I had already entertained this hypothesis, though I hadn't sought confirmation from Lu Ayao. On one hand, I felt the matter was harmless. If a Lu Clan ancestor truly had been involved in building this tomb, and our team happened to include the current Clan Head, it should be a good thing for our…

Nine Rings C18
by MarineTL — Chapter 18: A Rocky Start Once the makeshift pulley was securely fastened directly above the pit, everything was ready. The two professors entered the large tent one after the other. We followed closely behind. I initially intended to listen attentively to their arrangements, but as they spoke, I found it was like being in a math class—after a few sentences, I started to feel sleepy. So I moved over to sit next to He Yu. Most of the meeting was dominated by Wu Yili and the bald professor, with Tian…

Nine Rings C179
by MarineTL — Chapter 179: The Builder The moment I crawled into the hole, a chilling draft snaked down my collar. I rubbed my arms and scrambled forward a few steps. The interior of the Stone Tortoise Mouth was absolute darkness. I hadn't been crawling long before my flashlight flickered and died. I figured I'd dropped it one too many times; it was about time for it to be scrapped anyway. There were four of us and three flashlights left. Even without mine, I had Lu Ayao's light ahead to guide the way, so I wasn't…

Nine Rings C178
by MarineTL — Chapter 178: Charcoal-Grilled Turtles Startled, I spotted a Stone Tortoise statue in the corner of the tomb passage. Taking two quick steps, I used the Stone Tortoise as a foothold to scramble up the wall. Just as I poked my head over the top, I realized Lu Ayao was right on the other side of the wall, directly beneath me. At that exact moment, he cracked his whip, sending a White Corpse Turtle Immortal flying just as it was about to lunge for his face. In the past, whenever Lu Ayao used his whip or…

Nine Rings C177
by MarineTL — Chapter 177: Joining Forces Lu Ayao crushed the cigarette in his hand. I knew he must have come to his senses. I told myself that no matter what, reaching that realization was the first step. After all, he had just witnessed the corpse of a loved one; no matter how strong his mental state, there had to be an adjustment period. I would have to help him work through the rest once we got out of here. I nodded and began packing my things, ready to shoulder my bag again. Just then, I heard a rustling…

Chapter
Nine Rings C176
by MarineTL — Chapter 176: Seeking Death I watched in silence as Lu Ayao walked toward me. He ignored me at first, instead looking the White Corpse Turtle Immortal up and down where it was pinned to the wall, split in two by his Mountain-Cleaving Machete. Only after confirming it was thoroughly dead did he pull the blade free. Blood dripped all over the floor as he drew it out, bypassing me to sit in a dark corner of the passage. I sat where I was, taking a long moment to recover my wits. From the darkness about…
