      Nine Rings C31

      Nine Rings C31 Cover
      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 have…

      Nine Rings C63

      Nine Rings C63 Cover
      by MarineTL Chapter 63: The Ghost Copper Pillar The term "counterfeit" didn’t quite sit right with me at first. I pressed Yu Jingzi about it a few more times, and eventually realized that what she called a "counterfeit" was more akin to what we’d call a model home—a replica built for display. We continued climbing the stone steps, making our way to the end of the small waterfall. The rushing underground river had worn the stone smooth and slick, so I had to watch every step with extreme caution. Yu Jingzi…

      Nine Rings C10 Cover
      by MarineTL Chapter 10: A Mistake I thought to myself, I've always been a straightforward person, lived for so many years without offending anyone. So why have all these big shots suddenly appeared here, itching to mess with me? It's not like I wanted to encounter a ghostly wall. How was I supposed to know that when you walk, nothing happens, but when I walk, an extra path appears? Tian Yuqing finally shifted his gaze away from me. He pushed Tian Xiao slowly to the threshold and stopped. Seeing Tian Xiao's frail and…

      Nine Rings C42

      Nine Rings C42 Cover
      by MarineTL Chapter 42: Waiting I dragged him onto one of those old, rickety buses. The two of us bounced all the way back. Infrastructure wasn’t exactly great back then—the bus was slow to begin with, and the driver even detoured to a gas station to refuel. It took over half an hour just to get to the county town. Luckily, just before we got off, I called one of the clerks at Fourth Brother’s shop. They sent a young guy to pick us up in a minivan. He looked pretty young, went by the name Xiao Wu, with clear,…

      Nine Rings C74 Cover
      by MarineTL Chapter 74: Breaking Free No one knows when this iron chain bridge was built. Every step made it tremble violently. I gripped the chains on either side, moving with extreme caution, afraid that even the slightest extra movement might snap the fragile links and send the whole thing collapsing. As I held onto the chains and walked forward, I called out Fourth Brother’s name loudly. But most of my shouts echoed into silence. The more silence I got, the slower I moved. Ten minutes later, I found myself…

      Nine Rings C21

      Nine Rings C21 Cover
      by MarineTL Chapter 21: Breaking the Deadlock Tian Yuqing couldn’t determine our exact location, but he kept casting divinations again and again to confirm the direction of the pit wall. We leaned against it to rest. Both teams had been wandering around the bottom of the pit for six hours straight, and the moment we sat down, exhaustion hit us like a wave. Withered roots of plants dangled from the pit walls, their tendrils poking out of the soil. The temperature was steadily dropping, and our jackets weren’t…

      Nine Rings C53 Cover
      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…
