Nine Rings C52
by MarineTL — Chapter 52: Gan Ji’s Risky Move Hou Jinshan made it pretty clear—he had no intention of letting me go any further. But I’ve always had a rebellious streak. I hate following rules, especially when they’re shoved in my face. The more he tried to shut me out, the more determined I became to stick with the team and keep moving forward. We got back in the car. The rain had stopped, and the sun broke through quickly, causing the temperature to spike. One by one, we started peeling off our jackets.…

Nine Rings C31
by MarineTL — Chapter 31: Flee for Your Life He Yu asked, “Old Lu, we’ve come this far—don’t you think it’s time you shared what’s on your mind?” Lu A’yao scratched a mark into the stone with the little spade He Yu had handed him earlier and said, “The structure is strange. Based on what we’ve explored so far, I’ve divided it into two levels. The upper level consists of burial pits and empty chambers, completely sealed off from the lower level. If not for those man-made passageways, we’d have…

Nine Rings C63
by MarineTL — Chapter 63: The Ghost Copper Pillar The term "counterfeit" didn’t quite sit right with me at first. I pressed Yu Jingzi about it a few more times, and eventually realized that what she called a "counterfeit" was more akin to what we’d call a model home—a replica built for display. We continued climbing the stone steps, making our way to the end of the small waterfall. The rushing underground river had worn the stone smooth and slick, so I had to watch every step with extreme caution. Yu Jingzi…

Nine Rings C42
by MarineTL — Chapter 42: Waiting I dragged him onto one of those old, rickety buses. The two of us bounced all the way back. Infrastructure wasn’t exactly great back then—the bus was slow to begin with, and the driver even detoured to a gas station to refuel. It took over half an hour just to get to the county town. Luckily, just before we got off, I called one of the clerks at Fourth Brother’s shop. They sent a young guy to pick us up in a minivan. He looked pretty young, went by the name Xiao Wu, with clear,…

Nine Rings C74
by MarineTL — Chapter 74: Breaking Free No one knows when this iron chain bridge was built. Every step made it tremble violently. I gripped the chains on either side, moving with extreme caution, afraid that even the slightest extra movement might snap the fragile links and send the whole thing collapsing. As I held onto the chains and walked forward, I called out Fourth Brother’s name loudly. But most of my shouts echoed into silence. The more silence I got, the slower I moved. Ten minutes later, I found myself…

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…

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, but it was directly beneath us, completely concealed by the overhanging rocks. But beyond the stone shore, Xiao Wu also mentioned that something else lay at the far end of the pool beneath the waterfall. As soon as Xiao Wu finished speaking, Hou Jinshan’s eyes lit up with greed. He scrambled through his bag and pulled out a large coil of rope, stuffing it into…

Chapter
Nine Rings C32
by MarineTL — Chapter 32: Qin-style Brazier We stumbled into a Side Chamber purely by accident. It had been pitch black while we were running for our lives, but judging by my sense of direction, the corridor we came through was a straight shot. We ran all the way to the end, and the chamber was right there. We held the stone door shut for a while. Once the sounds outside gradually faded into silence, Lu A'yao finally let go. He took the flashlight and began exploring the Side Chamber, while He Yu and I kept our hands…
