Nine Rings C35
by MarineTL — Chapter 35: The Suspended Woman We continued climbing upward. After another twenty meters, I could just make out the dome of the Side Chamber from my position. I clenched the flashlight between my teeth and swept the beam upward—what I saw made my heart jolt. A corpse was hanging in midair, swaying in the breeze. And it seemed the higher we went, the more of them there were. That was definitely not a good sign. I stopped climbing. He Yu saw it too and halted beside me. Lu A’yao swept his…

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 C33
by MarineTL — Chapter 33: Abyssal Dragon Pillars As soon as he finished speaking, I saw He Yu clinging to the smooth Dragon-Coiled Pillar like a toad, his arms like iron pincers locking tightly around it as he climbed upward. Lu A’yao quickly reached a spot diagonally above me, while I was pitifully dangling from the iron chain. I didn’t have the upper body strength He Yu did, and just hanging here was clearly a massive waste of energy. If either of them were in my position, with their strength, they’d…

Nine Rings C32
by MarineTL — Chapter 32: Qin-style Brazier We stumbled into a Side Chamber purely by accident. It had been pitch black while we were running for our lives, but judging by my sense of direction, the corridor we came through was a straight shot. We ran all the way to the end, and the chamber was right there. We held the stone door shut for a while. Once the sounds outside gradually faded into silence, Lu A'yao finally let go. He took the flashlight and began exploring the Side Chamber, while He Yu and I kept our…

Nine Rings C31
by MarineTL — Chapter 31: Flee for Your Life He Yu asked, “Old Lu, we’ve come this far—don’t you think it’s time you shared what’s on your mind?” Lu A’yao scratched a mark into the stone with the little spade He Yu had handed him earlier and said, “The structure is strange. Based on what we’ve explored so far, I’ve divided it into two levels. The upper level consists of burial pits and empty chambers, completely sealed off from the lower level. If not for those man-made passageways, we’d…

Nine Rings C301
by MarineTL — Chapter 301: Trio Q&A Time I've collected some questions for a Q&A session with our trio! Gan Ji's Turn Q: What is the most impulsive thing you've ever done? Gan Ji (smiling as he looks at He Yu): Going to the second floor of the shop and opening that drawer. It started over a decade of pain, and I haven't been that impulsive since (rubs his hands together). Now, before I open a cabinet, I always ask what's inside first, hahaha. Q: Do you prefer love at first sight or love that grows…

Chapter
Nine Rings C30
by MarineTL — Chapter 30: Look Up and See All Beings He Yu sat down by the tomb wall, brushing dirt off his pants. “I told you this was pointless. If you’re going to leave a message, at least make it clear. Writing something cryptic like this is worse than writing nothing at all.” I was still mulling over the meaning of “Look up and see all beings.” The phrase itself wasn’t hard to translate, but using it in this context felt bizarre. I thought about it for a long time but couldn’t make sense of it,…
