Nine Rings C62
by MarineTL — Chapter 62: A Counterfeit Relic As soon as she finished speaking, I realized something was off. A logical person always has a focus when they speak, and Yu Jingzi was undoubtedly that type. She had said a lot, but every point she made stuck clearly in my mind. Also, this was the first time I’d ever heard of something called the "Wood-Returning Stone." Her emphasis leaned heavily toward that, unlike Hou Jinshan, who had clearly focused more on the Ghost Market Map itself. Why the difference? I was…

Nine Rings C61
by MarineTL — Chapter 61: Ghost Paintings and the Ghost Ruins "Get some rest and prepare to move out again." "This cave must have been flooded. Everything's damp. What a damn mess." "Keep your voice down. Don’t let Boss Yu hear you." The rustling voices stirred me from sleep. The stone beneath me was hard enough to bruise bone, and there was still water in my lungs I hadn’t completely coughed out. I sat up and hacked a few times, the world slowly coming into focus. I saw a fire burning nearby, a blanket…

Nine Rings C60
by MarineTL — Chapter 60: Suffocation This covered bridge probably doesn’t have too many traps, but that’s just my preliminary guess. After all, I’m not the one who built this ruin. Someone capable of embedding iron chains into the base of stone statues underwater is definitely no ordinary craftsman. If he insisted on rigging the bridge with something, I’d just have to accept my fate. Besides, it’s not like my mouth is really blessed with divine foresight. I raised my hand and gave Hou Jinshan a look. He…

Nine Rings C59
by MarineTL — Chapter 59: Man Eats Man My limbs were pinned down, unable to move. Deep down, I had already sensed something like this might happen, but I reacted far too slowly. If it had been Tian Yuqing in my place, he would've had a strategy prepared and a contingency plan ready. At the very least, he wouldn't have ended up in such a pitiful position like I had. To say I was one of the rare geniuses among the juniors of the Five Masters was giving me way too much credit. Calling me the most outstanding idiot…

Nine Rings C58
by MarineTL — Chapter 58: Sudden Upheaval I hadn’t even finished speaking when Hou Jinshan burst out laughing. “Kid, trying to trick me again? This time, I’m not falling for it.” My thoughts had become much clearer now. Earlier, I’d been influenced by He Yu, but ever since we entered the cave this time, I’d been paying close attention to the passage of time. From the moment we started diving until now, exactly two hours had passed. I figured it was time to stop and sort out my thoughts. Li Wanchou had…

Nine Rings C57
by MarineTL — Chapter 57: First Brush with Death The ringing in my ears vanished a split second before the cloud of scales descended. All I could hear was the roar of water, and from the corner of my eye, I saw Li Wanchou, his bloodied eyes shut tight, breaking the surface of the lake. He must have taken me for his last hope of survival. He grabbed onto me in desperation, probably thinking I could pull him up to the stone path. What he didn’t expect was how terrible my balance was. His sudden yank caught me…

Nine Rings C56
by MarineTL — Chapter 56: A Misstep in the Dark I had too many questions, but there was no time to dwell on them. I quickly stepped onto the stone platform and shouted, “Hey! Over here! Xiao Wu! I’m right here!” Xiao Wu heard my voice and froze for a second in the water. He quickly pulled off his diving mask, and his flashlight swung in my direction. In an instant, all six of them saw me. Hou Jinshan recoiled in shock, then recovered and started cursing from the water. “You little bastard! What the…

Nine Rings C55
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…
