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, “Hey! Over here! Xiao Wu! I’m right here!” Xiao Wu heard my voice and froze for a second in the water. He quickly pulled off his diving mask, and his flashlight swung in my direction. In an instant, all six of them saw me. Hou Jinshan recoiled in shock, then recovered and started cursing from the water. “You little bastard! What the…

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—the kind of chill that seeps into your bones, something no swimming pool could ever replicate. The water was fairly clear, but visibility near the bottom was still terrible. We’d already dived a dozen meters in without seeing a single fish. The only sounds in my ears…

Nine Rings C54
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 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…

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 C51
by MarineTL — Chapter 51: Muddy Waters I never expected to see Yu Jingzi under these circumstances. Her sudden appearance caught me completely off guard. I hid behind Xiao Wu, sneaking glances at their group taking shelter from the rain—there were a lot of them, at least a dozen. Four Hummers were parked in front of the restaurant. Yu Jingzi was dressed lightly—a black athletic jacket over a camisole that dipped almost to her chest. She walked in, found a seat, and began ordering food with her people. Compared…

Nine Rings C50
by MarineTL — Chapter 50: Into the Mountains The car stopped near the reservoir, and Hou Jinshan sent me another location. The spot he gave was remote, the kind of place only hardcore wild fishing enthusiasts would frequent. Xiao Wu and I trudged through the tall grass for ages before finally reaching the place. As soon as we arrived, we saw Hou Jinshan crouched by the water, seemingly unable to get up. When he saw me, he looked like he'd just spotted his savior. “Oh, thank god you're here, Young Master Gan! Look…
