      Nine Rings C33

      Nine Rings C33 Cover
      by MarineTL Chapter 33: Abyssal Dragon Pillars As soon as he finished speaking, I saw He Yu clinging to the smooth Dragon-Coiled Pillar like a toad, his arms like iron pincers locking tightly around it as he climbed upward. Lu A’yao quickly reached a spot diagonally above me, while I was pitifully dangling from the iron chain. I didn’t have the upper body strength He Yu did, and just hanging here was clearly a massive waste of energy. If either of them were in my position, with their strength, they’d probably…

      Nine Rings C65

      Nine Rings C65 Cover
      by MarineTL Chapter 65: Sudden Change After I finished speaking, Yu Jingzi didn’t respond right away. She straightened up, thought for a moment, then gauged the distance between us and the owl-faced relief sculpture. Finally, she nodded. “Seems like this is our only option now.” Then she turned and shouted to the team behind us, “Old Yang! Bring the gear! We’ll slide across with ropes!” Yu Jingzi clearly held a commanding position within her clan. No one questioned or opposed her decision. Later, I…

      Nine Rings C12

      Nine Rings C12 Cover
      by MarineTL Chapter 12: Two Teams? This rhyme was never meant to teach anyone how to find dragon veins or explore grand tombs. Yet, many unskilled Tomb Raiders once believed it to be true. How could something so profound that some people spend their entire lives trying to understand be condensed into just a simple rhyme? The original purpose of this rhyme was to introduce the unique skills of each master among the Five Masters. It was meant to guide those who found themselves lost when determining the auspicious…

      Nine Rings C44

      Nine Rings C44 Cover
      by MarineTL Chapter 44: A Thief in the Night I was completely thrown off by what he blurted out. It definitely wasn’t something good, so the moment I heard it, I instinctively reached out and pulled Lu A’yao, who was standing in front of me, behind me. I was afraid that Hou Jinshan, shameless as he was, might lash out in anger. If Lu A’yao got caught in the crossfire, that’d be bad. But to my surprise, Hou Jinshan didn’t explode. Instead, he smiled warmly at Lu A’yao and said, “In the dead of winter,…

      Nine Rings C76

      Nine Rings C76 Cover
      by MarineTL Chapter 76: Finding Reinforcements When I said that, He Yu laughed. “What kind of good stuff could you possibly have? Just to eat your bowl of braised noodles, I’d have to run a few hundred kilometers.” I chuckled too. “Ever heard of the legendary Nieyao Ghost Market Map?” There was a sudden clatter on the other end of the line, like chopsticks hitting the floor. Then He Yu started shouting, “Boss lady! Check, please!” “What’s going on with you today, Xiao He? You’re not eating…

      Nine Rings C23

      Nine Rings C23 Cover
      by MarineTL Chapter 23: A Number of Caves He Yu was inside the coffin! The moment that thought struck me, I rushed forward and jammed the shovel under the coffin lid. In ancient times, coffins and their outer casings were sealed extremely tightly to prevent decay—leave a living person in there long enough, and they'd suffocate to death. The more I thought about it, the more anxious I became. I picked a spot and pushed upward with all the strength I had. The nested coffin lid, which normally would take two or…

      Nine Rings C55

      Nine Rings C55 Cover
      by MarineTL Chapter 55 - Falling Behind The water here shimmered with a jade-green glow. I followed Hou Jinshan as we swam beneath a waterfall that looked like a silver ribbon. The deeper we went, the colder the water became. I shivered twice—the kind of chill that seeps into your bones, something no swimming pool could ever replicate. The water was fairly clear, but visibility near the bottom was still terrible. We’d already dived a dozen meters in without seeing a single fish. The only sounds in my ears…

      Nine Rings C02

      Nine Rings C02 Cover
      by MarineTL Chapter 2: Fourth Brother's Guest Inside a courtyard on Longshan Road in Langling, Henan, I sat on a long bench, having waited for over an hour. The half cup of tea in my hand had been refilled and cooled numerous times. I checked my watch for the 32nd time, thinking that if no one showed up in ten minutes, I'd buy a train ticket for the afternoon and leave. This private residence was left by my grandfather. It was kept very clean, with a spirit tablet and incense burner on the altar. My grandfather's…
