Nine Rings C279
by MarineTL — Chapter 279: Long Life and the Birth of a Son (Part 3) Cui Fengji found it hard to imagine what kind of person Qu Zhang's friend might be, but he figured they must have been close. Otherwise, Qu Zhang wouldn't have shown such a relaxed smile. Cui Fengji began removing unnecessary items from his pack, and the bag slowly deflated. By the time he tied it back up and put it on, Qu Zhang beside him was already rolling his shoulders and steadying his breath, preparing for his second dive. "Be careful.…

Nine Rings C02
by MarineTL — Chapter 2: Fourth Brother's Guest Inside a courtyard on Longshan Road in Langling, Henan, I sat on a long bench, having waited for over an hour. The half cup of tea in my hand had been refilled and cooled numerous times. I checked my watch for the 32nd time, thinking that if no one showed up in ten minutes, I'd buy a train ticket for the afternoon and leave. This private residence was left by my grandfather. It was kept very clean, with a spirit tablet and incense burner on the altar. My…

Nine Rings C34
by MarineTL — Chapter 34: Luan Jade The Underground River was likely beneath the sand layer. When we first entered this place, we saw dragon pillars on all four sides and naturally assumed we were in a square-shaped Side Chamber. But that wasn’t the case. After I toppled the bronze cauldron, a massive and ancient mechanism hidden in the walls was forced open. The floor tiles began to collapse, and all the quicksand poured down into the lowest level—the Underground River. Only then did we see the original…

Nine Rings C66
by MarineTL — Chapter 66: An Unexpected Reunion This time, I was unconscious for much longer than before. I had a long, drawn-out nightmare. In the dream, I didn’t even know when I had climbed down from the bronze pillar, but I suddenly saw Lai Qi emerging from the water in an eerie, unnatural posture. He was holding a knife and chasing me around the base of the pillar, shouting that I had to pay with my life. We ran around the massive pillar three full times. In the end, I couldn’t run anymore, so I turned…

Nine Rings C98
by MarineTL — Chapter 98: The Same Tunnel When I woke up in the tunnel again, I had no idea how much time had passed. I had collapsed inside without any warning, head facing inward and feet pointing out, still frozen in my last crawling posture. I lay there for a while. At first, I thought I’d arrived in the underworld, but when I realized I wasn’t dead, I sat up too fast and nearly scraped my head on the ceiling of the tunnel. My back felt cold. I shifted my shoulders slightly and noticed I couldn’t…

Nine Rings C130
by MarineTL — Chapter 130: The Next Step We messed around for a while until we were too tired to move, then each of us showered to wash off the exhaustion of the past few days. Three people in one bed was far too crowded. To prevent He Yu from dragging away all the blankets once he fell asleep, I went to ask the staff for two extra ones. While He Yu was showering, Lu Ayao leaned against the headboard, playing with his phone—a rare sight for him. I wrapped myself in my blanket and lay down. I hadn't felt much…

Nine Rings C162
by MarineTL — Chapter 162: Footprints I really hadn't entered this place on my own. At the time, Bai Shenxian said we'd been washed in by the current. Holding my flashlight, I thought back over it for a moment and felt like something didn't quite add up. The current had swept us in fast, and I'd somehow gotten separated from Liang Si. That proved there must be multiple passages connected to the Tomb-guarding Beast, which was the only way we could have been scattered into different Side Chambers. But if this was…

Nine Rings C194
by MarineTL — Chapter 194: On the Beam These pillars were not easy to climb. The bottom two or three meters had been worn smooth, and even with me propping up He Yu's backside as he clung to one, he struggled for ages only to get about two meters off the ground. Eventually, drenched in sweat and exhausted, he had to ask me to lower him down so we could rethink our plan. I looked up. The nearest decorative floral pendant was at least three meters higher, and you'd need a hell of a reach to touch it. I couldn't help…
