Nine Rings C241
by MarineTL — Chapter 241: Two Dragons Playing with a Pearl While I was still studying those ever-burning lamps, He Yu had already moved a significant distance ahead. I wasn't worried about him going off alone because the situation here was quite different from many we had encountered before. The ever-burning lamps hanging on the walls provided a wide field of vision, so even if He Yu walked far ahead, I could easily keep track of his position. After running ahead for a bit, he doubled back. "I feel like this tomb…

Nine Rings C242
by MarineTL — Chapter 242: The Child "So what you're saying is, we took the wrong path? This place doesn't connect to the burial chambers below?" He Yu asked. I explained to him that the lack of water sounds only proved there were no mechanisms down here that relied on water power to operate. In short, it wasn't the kind of trap where stepping on a tile would trigger a drop-panel. However, that didn't rule out the possibility that this was still a mechanism at its core. Something like a mechanical lock, for…

Nine Rings C243
by MarineTL — Chapter 243: Human Skin I coughed as I leaned over the jade railing of the long bridge, glancing back toward the hole we had fallen through. To my shock, I realized it wasn't just a hole, but a carved stone dragon head protruding from the ceiling of the cavern. It looked incredibly sinister. This wasn't a dragon from traditional mythology, but a multi-legged insectoid creature with long, centipede-like feelers. I estimated the distance between us and the creature and began to worry. "This is going to…

Nine Rings C244
by MarineTL — Chapter 244 Ascension to Immortality The moment the words left my mouth, I felt three strange gazes lock onto me. I looked back and saw Old Qian and the others staring at me with expressions that were hard to describe. He Yu stepped up and pulled me away from the two human skins, whispering, "When did you get so reckless? That thing is so... so hideously ugly. Who would dare carry it on their back?" I narrowed my eyes at him, wondering if he was just chickening out. Seeing my look, He Yu…

Nine Rings C245
by MarineTL — Chapter 245: Mutton Soup While Old Qian spoke off to the side, I slung my gun over my shoulder and walked up to a dried corpse. It was the first cross-legged corpse at the far end of the hall, dressed in a gold-embroidered robe with a crown on its head. A jade tablet lay by its feet, inscribed: "Guide to the Underworld, Pass for Clearance." In ancient times, entering a city required a clearance document or travel permit, and I figured this was likely one of those. Carved on the back of the tablet were…

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…

Chapter
Nine Rings C239
by MarineTL — Chapter 239: Entering the Linhu Tomb "What do you think? Should we head up and take a look?" He Yu asked me. Old Qian and I both gave him an incredibly definitive look. Setting aside the fact that we had been falling all this way and didn't even know our exact location, if the King of Gune's tomb had truly been exposed by that sudden earthquake and was sitting right behind that stone door, there was no way we were passing up the chance. Besides, I had a feeling that the group of strange figures who…

Nine Rings C232
by MarineTL — Chapter 232: The Chess Piece He Yu was clearly caught off guard by my words, because I hadn't asked a normal question like I usually did. He threw an arm around my shoulders. "Hey now, did you not hear me? Don't be mad. Didn't I just apologize? I promise, from now on, I'll tell you everything first." My gaze didn't waver, and I didn't move an inch. I kept staring at him, my voice flat. "It's not that. It's something else." The smile on He Yu's face instantly froze. Maintaining a calm…
