Nine Rings C69
by MarineTL — Chapter 69: Reinforcements When I shone my flashlight down, I saw the birds landing one after another on the decaying hanging coffins. That’s when I finally understood how those coffins had gotten so many holes. The birds were piercing the coffin boards with their claws, then thrusting their sharp beaks inside to peck at the corpses. Seeing me lying at the edge of the ledge, peering downward, Lu A'yao suddenly crouched and began unfastening his backpack. Watching his movements, I asked, “What are…

Nine Rings C16
by MarineTL — Chapter 16: The Dragon Trapped by Flowing Water I couldn't understand why Tian Yuqing insisted on having our team and the Tan family's workers go down first. From what I know of him, he's shrewd and efficient, never doing anything pointless. There must be a reason he's keeping the archaeological team from going down first, but whether it's for profit, I can't tell. "Have you finished arguing?" Before Wu Yili could respond, Lu A'yao's voice came from inside the cave. He emerged from the low tunnel, his…

Nine Rings C48
by MarineTL — Chapter 48: Ghost Mountain It was two days later when I finally got another call from Hou Jinshan. The bastard had just gotten off the train at nine in the morning and was already sitting in the private room I’d reserved, waiting for me. I’m not a morning person, so I basically just splashed some water on my face and stumbled out the door half-asleep. I was in a foul mood, and even my footsteps carried a stormy air. Xiao Wu had handled things well. He’d booked a room near the stairs, where there…

Nine Rings C27
by MarineTL — Chapter 27: The Nine Murals He Yu blocked me in the crevice and tossed me a fruit knife. “Stay here!” With that, he dashed out to help. But once more people showed up, I wasn’t scared anymore. Orders like that don’t work on me in moments like this—both of them had gone out, how could I just sit here like a scared dog? I picked up the fruit knife and squeezed out of the crevice. What I saw was a giant centipede-like creature, several meters long, lying on the ground with its belly split open.…

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 C06
by MarineTL — Chapter 6: The Beginning of Turmoil After Tan Qiu left, Fourth Brother handed me fifty yuan and sent me off as well. Of course, I was more than happy to take the money. I quickly ran to the street corner stall to enjoy a bowl of cold jelly, and then headed to the supermarket to buy a few toothbrushes. On my way back from the supermarket, I saw the entire production street lined with mobile stalls selling New Year prints and couplets. If there's one thing Henan never lacks, it's people. Every year, the…

Nine Rings C38
by MarineTL — Chapter 38: He Yu’s Theory We carried the injured men into the tent—many with broken arms and legs. He Yu’s left leg was in bad shape, a large chunk of flesh bitten off by those insects. Tian Yuqing and Tan Qiu didn’t look so good either; we must’ve lost quite a few people down there. Those few days had left me utterly drained. I tore the rune-covered white paper from the wall, stuffed it into my backpack, and collapsed into rest. I slept for two full days straight, and when I finally woke up,…

Nine Rings C70
by MarineTL — Chapter 70: The Ones We Can't Take With Us I waved frantically in Fourth Brother’s direction. He saw me too, his eyes full of worry. Strangely, there was no surprise in them. He and a few of his men grabbed hold of the iron chain that extended to the cave entrance, and it took them a full half hour to haul us up. The moment I climbed out, Fourth Brother yanked me aside. I stumbled, my ear aching from his grip, and he immediately started scolding me. “Are you trying to get yourself killed? What the…
