Nine Rings C202
by MarineTL — Chapter 202: The Break The three of us were the last to arrive in the cabin. A table sat in the center with a nautical chart spread across it, surrounded by a crowd of workers. I took a quick scan; aside from the crew steering the ship, pretty much everyone was there. My mother had likely just finished explaining the sailing route. She looked up as she saw us coming down. In an instant, every gaze in the cabin shifted toward us. I had seen this kind of crowd before; it never boded well. My mother…

Nine Rings C234
by MarineTL — Chapter 234: Blasting the Stone The camp was already in total chaos. We sprinted straight along the shortest path, passing workers from various factions running back and forth. Without exception, none of them had the time or inclination to pay us any attention. I sprinted all the way to the stone gate. The interior was shrouded in sand and dust kicked up from the ground, making it impossible to see what was happening inside. I had run so fast that I almost caught a stitch in my side. I bent over to…

Nine Rings C266
by MarineTL — Chapter 266: He Yu There was no time to get Tian Xiaoqi onto my back. He Yu simply grabbed me and hauled me up from the ground. I was sobbing so hard I was hyperventilating, following his instructions in a daze. He Yu supported me from below, pushing me up first. I grabbed onto the rocks above the crevice and began pulling myself upward. The stones I touched were still vibrating slightly; one moment of inattention and a rock would split in two, slipping from my grip and plummeting below. The sheer…

Nine Rings C298
by MarineTL — Chapter 298: The Parenting Manual (End) The Lu Clan was always the most diligent when it came to New Year's visits. This year was no different, with Lu Ling arriving earliest. She brought two or three truckloads of New Year's goods, enough to last us six months. My mouth twitched as I watched the workers haul everything into the basement. I decided that once they left, I would distribute these goods among the shop bosses and workers in the Pankou. It had been a long year for everyone. She looked at…

Nine Rings C21
by MarineTL — Chapter 21: Breaking the Deadlock Tian Yuqing couldn’t determine our exact location, but he kept casting divinations again and again to confirm the direction of the pit wall. We leaned against it to rest. Both teams had been wandering around the bottom of the pit for six hours straight, and the moment we sat down, exhaustion hit us like a wave. Withered roots of plants dangled from the pit walls, their tendrils poking out of the soil. The temperature was steadily dropping, and our jackets weren’t…

Chapter
Nine Rings C53
by MarineTL — Chapter 53: Li Wanchou’s Revenge From Xiao Wu’s brief description, I gathered that the bottom of the pool still had a stone-paved shore, though it was directly beneath us, completely hidden by the overhanging rocks. But beyond the stone shore, Xiao Wu also said that at the far end of the pool, beneath the waterfall, there seemed to be something else. Once Xiao Wu finished his brief description, Hou Jinshan’s eyes gleamed with greed. He frantically rummaged through his bag, pulled out a large…

Nine Rings C85
by MarineTL — Chapter 85: Blackmail "What kind of help?" I asked. Han Jian said, "I'm leaving tomorrow, taking a boat to find that tower. I want you to come with me. We'll share information, and if there's really something there, we split whatever we find fifty-fifty. How about it?" I stared at him and smiled. "Why? Just because of a rubbing that may or may not matter, and a former owner who vanished into thin air? I don't buy it. I don't believe that's enough to lure you in. Uncle Han, your excuse is a little…

Chapter
Nine Rings C117
by MarineTL — Chapter 117: Trust Crisis What the hell? For a second, I thought I'd misheard. My mind buzzed with a sharp shock. Lu Ayao was saying my blood could cure the corpse poison in his system? This joke wasn't funny at all. If my blood really could cure corpse poison, it wouldn't make any sense if I weren't hauled off to some medical research institute to be dissected. Despite my internal skepticism, my body reacted instinctively. I reached behind me for my knife. My reasoning was simple: regardless of…
