Nine Rings C253
by MarineTL — Chapter 253: Something Unexpected Feeling a lingering sense of worry, I went back to the tents to ask around. I learned that Chen Canghai and Kuba had reacted quickly when the earthquake struck; they hadn't fallen into the fissures. Once Fourth Brother found them, he had them forcibly sent back. Following Tian Yuqing's instructions, I handed the entire Burial Bone Testament over to Fourth Brother. However, I kept the copper piece that had come out of it for myself. Tian Yuqing hadn't mentioned it, so…

Nine Rings C252
by MarineTL — Chapter 252: Going with the Flow I tossed the blood-stained bullet onto the ground and wrapped the bleeding wound tightly with gauze. A numbing wave of pain followed immediately. Leaning against the cave wall, my vision swam in dizzying pulses. I sat on the ground for a while to recover; the pain was so intense I felt the urge to vomit. Having eaten nothing, I had nothing to bring up, so I simply dry-heaved a few times before using the wall to pull myself to my feet. He Yu came over to support me,…

Chapter
Nine Rings C251
by MarineTL — Chapter 251: The Bullet He Yu attached three safety carabiners to the last twenty-meter rope, clipping them onto my belt and Old Qian's. He didn't even know which rock crevice he had jammed the end of the rope into, but as long as it held for ten seconds, we had a chance of survival. This was a last resort. We had lost our supply packs back in the Royal City, and this solitary rope was far too thin. We certainly couldn't count on it holding for long. In other words, my signal to He Yu wasn't meant…

Nine Rings C250
by MarineTL — Chapter 250: Flight I had Old Qian help me steady the two weak flashlights, then built a coordinate system in my mind based on the ring of projected starlight shadows. Using this system, I could pinpoint the horizontal and vertical positions of each star. After a quick look, I knelt on the ground, opened my tool kit, and pulled out a bent Cloud-Probing Needle. This needle was unique, with a small spring at the tip that allowed it to expand and contract automatically once inside the keyhole. I used…

Nine Rings C249
by MarineTL — Chapter 249: Decoding Tian Xiao looked at me and said, "If my information is correct, you already have a certain understanding of the Nine-Ring Jade Casket." His sudden question instantly severed the faint connections forming in my mind. I didn't know where he had gotten his information, but I had to admit he was right. I had already sketched out the basic internal diagram of the casket. Opening it was simply a matter of arranging the beads inside correctly; I was just one final step away. He…

Nine Rings C248
by MarineTL — Chapter 248: The Trump Card Tian Xiao circled the area and returned, his expression grave as he spoke to me. "There is no Houtu Blood here. Could the legends be false?" Lu Ayao had guessed correctly; their true objective was indeed to find the legendary elixir of immortality. Our current position should have been the deepest part of the tomb. The stone coffin in the center of the Underworld Hall was undoubtedly the sarcophagus of the King of Gune. If the legends of the Houtu Blood were true, he…

Nine Rings C247
by MarineTL — Chapter 247: The Bronze Coffin The moment the trigger was pulled, the gun suddenly blew up right next to my ear. That damn rifle actually exploded! The explosion instantly took out the guy who fired it. The gun must have been soaked through when it fell into the water earlier. This model wasn't waterproof. I thought it would be fine once it dried out, but clearly, I was wrong. When I was fighting the giant bats earlier, the gun had been knocked away before I could use it. It was a stroke of luck that…

Chapter
Nine Rings C246
by MarineTL — Chapter 246: Imminent Disaster After thinking it over for a moment, I decided we couldn't let Old Qian and Han Zhuo keep eating like this. Even if it were real mutton, eating like this would definitely cause problems. I quickly conferred with He Yu, and we decided to use the hemp rope in the shop to tie up the two crazed men first. He Yu would stay behind in the shop to keep an eye on them while I scouted the nearby area to see if there were any other discoveries. Old Qian and Han Zhuo's eyes were…
