      Nine Rings C64

      Nine Rings C64 Cover
      by MarineTL Chapter 64: A Wall Full of Corpses “Holy shit! What the hell is that?!” I screamed, scared out of my wits. My body instinctively leaned backward, and if Yu Jingzi hadn’t anticipated it and caught me from behind, I would’ve gone tumbling headfirst. A bloodshot eyeball jutted out from the stone wall, staring at me from who knows how long behind the rock. I wanted nothing more than to get as far away from that thing as possible. At that moment, I didn’t care about any sense of propriety between…

      Nine Rings C43

      Nine Rings C43 Cover
      by MarineTL Chapter 43: An Uninvited Guest For the next few days, I stayed holed up in the shop. Most of the businesses in the Outer Eight Trades are soaked in blood, and even after years in the game, my Fourth Brother still moves with caution. I had no choice but to be extra careful myself, watching my back every step I took. But maybe I was being too paranoid. I couldn’t even step out for a meal without dragging Lu A’yao along, or I’d just have one of the shop hands bring food straight to me. Most days, I…

      Nine Rings C75

      Nine Rings C75 Cover
      by MarineTL Chapter 75: Xiao Wu’s Account When I woke up, the first thing I heard was the noisy chatter of some older folks nearby. They were speaking in dialect, and I couldn’t understand a single word. The bed beneath me was soft, and I wanted to stay curled up a bit longer. But sunlight streaming through the window stabbed at my eyes, making it nearly impossible to keep them open. I squinted and struggled to sit up, only to see Xiao Wu cheerfully pulling open the curtains. He dragged over a metal stool and…

      Nine Rings C22

      Nine Rings C22 Cover
      by MarineTL Chapter 22: Falling into the Deep Pit The sand beneath the Terracotta Figures gave way completely, collapsing in a sudden landslide none of us had anticipated. So when we fell, the three of us were caught completely off guard. The cavity below was massive. Sand flooded into my nose, pushing me downward. My chin slammed into a rock, sending a sharp jolt of pain through my body. It felt like I hit the bottom almost instantly. I landed hard on my backside and sat there for a while, aching all over, bruises…

      Nine Rings C54

      Nine Rings C54 Cover
      by MarineTL Chapter 54: Into the Water I no longer had the energy to complain. Clutching the yellowed slip of paper, I held up my phone—already sealed in a waterproof pouch—and began frantically searching for a signal beneath the massive waterfall. But in a place this remote, cell reception was even rarer than the scenery. After scouring the entire area and coming up empty, I could only find a shaded rock to sit on. I glanced at the paper in my hand, feeling utterly helpless. All I could do now was take out…

      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 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,…
