Nine Rings C59
by MarineTL — Chapter 59: Man Eats Man My limbs were pinned down, leaving me unable to move. Deep down, I had already sensed something like this might happen, but my reaction was far too slow. If it had been Tian Yuqing in my place, he would have had a strategy prepared and a way to handle it ahead of time. At the very least, he wouldn't have ended up at such a severe disadvantage. To say I was a rare clever person among the juniors of the Five Masters was giving me way too much credit. Calling me the most…

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 were 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. Exactly two hours had passed from the moment we started diving until now. 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 toward them, "Hey! Over here! Xiao Wu! I'm right here!" Hearing my voice, Xiao Wu froze in the water for a second. He quickly pulled off his diving mask, and his flashlight swung in my direction. Now all six of them saw me. Hou Jinshan recoiled in shock, but once he realized what was happening, he cursed from the water, "You little bastard! How…

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, hit by the kind of bone-deep chill that no swimming pool could ever replicate. The water was fairly clear, but visibility near the bottom was still terrible. We had already dived a dozen meters in without seeing a single fish. The only sounds in my ears were the rush of…

Nine Rings C54
by MarineTL — Chapter 54: Into the Water I didn't even have the heart to complain anymore. Holding the yellowed slip of paper and my phone, which I had already sealed in a waterproof pouch, I started frantically searching for a signal under the massive waterfall. But in a godforsaken place like this, cell service was even rarer than the scenery. After walking all over the area and coming up empty, I could only find a shaded rock to sit down on. Glancing at the yellowed paper in my hand, I felt like crying. All I…

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 C52
by MarineTL — Chapter 52: Gan Ji’s Risky Move Hou Jinshan had made it pretty clear that he had no intention of letting me go any further. But I've always had a strong rebellious streak and hated playing by the rules. The more flatly he tried to keep 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. The mood in the car…
