Nine Rings C175

by MarineTL — Chapter 175: Spirit Channeling It was impossible for any mechanism to silently move a massive, solid stone door to another location. This was a matter of physics, not metaphysics; moving something that heavy would inevitably make noise. With that realization, our previous "mechanism theory" fell apart. But if it wasn't a large-scale mechanism, what else in a tomb could move a door without a sound? He Yu sucked in a breath of cold air. "Um, Xiao Yao, let me brainstorm for a second. Have you ever…

Nine Rings C176

by MarineTL — Chapter 176: Seeking Death I watched in silence as Lu Ayao walked toward me. He ignored me at first, instead looking the White Corpse Turtle Immortal up and down where it was pinned to the wall, split in two by his machete. Only after confirming it was thoroughly dead did he pull the blade free. Blood dripped from the steel, staining the floor as he bypassed me to sit in a dark corner of the passage. I sat where I was, taking a long moment to recover my wits. From the shadows about three meters away,…

Nine Rings C173

by MarineTL — Chapter 173: The Dead Man's Credentials The passage ahead reached its first corner. He Yu stopped and shone his flashlight at the ground. "Whoa! Your analysis was spot on. Look at all this sand and these footprints. They're a mess. Looks like quite a few people from that damn archaeology team made it in!" I was leaning against He Yu's back, my chest hurting too much to even stand up straight. I could only listen as he described the scene. "We've been seeing these footprints all along the way, but…

Nine Rings C174

by MarineTL — Chapter 174: The Yin-Yang Thirteen Palaces I realized something immediately. I had been wrong from the very start when I first saw that string of numbers. I had been calculating based on what each part of the code represented after the founding of New China—for example, "434" stood for the 434 Archaeological Team, and "1951" likely referred to the year 1951. But I had forgotten one thing: the code for the Nine Rings Project was "4341951009." It didn't just refer to a single part. To truly…

Nine Rings C171

by MarineTL — Chapter 171: The Mechanism Tian Xiaoqi and I continued moving forward along the plank path. The walkway, constructed from linked iron chains, was incredibly unstable. I had no idea how deep the darkness below went or how high we were, so I didn't dare move too fast. This completely throttled our pace, forcing us to stop every three steps. After walking for over half an hour, I shone my flashlight toward the end of the rift, sweat pouring down my face. I discovered the path was nearly at its end, and…

Nine Rings C172

by MarineTL — Chapter 172: Severe Injuries The massive grinding of stone and the whistling of wind roared in my ears. Simultaneously, a much louder sound emerged. At first, I thought it was the resonance of dozens of stone beams moving in unison, but after listening for a while, I realized with a jolt of alarm that it wasn't. The realization hit when my leg brushed against a relief on the rock wall. It was a turtle-faced immortal holding a banner. This immediately put me on high alert, because this rock wall…

Nine Rings C170

by MarineTL — Chapter 170: Parting Ways I was completely baffled by his words. I looked up at the column-head bracket sets in the Spirit Path. These architectural elements weren't commonly used in tomb passages; they were more typical of palaces. The designer had likely incorporated them into the Spirit Path to provide a robust structural barrier, offering significant support. However, I soon realized that I had never seen this particular style of bracket set before. Every joint and connection was unusual, and the…

Nine Rings C168

by MarineTL — Chapter 168: The Ancient Corpse's Waist Token He Yu let out a confused "Huh?", but Lu Ayao's expression remained dead serious, without a hint of a joke in his voice. The two of them stood there, staring at each other in a silent standoff for a long time. In a rare moment of explanation, Lu Ayao said, "I can use the compass to set our direction. If we're fast enough, we should be able to lose them. But judging by the size of that Tomb-guarding Beast outside, this tomb is massive. It's likely a long…
