Nobilis of War

Chapter 1349 The Largest Mining Area

The Blood Stone contained the Order Law, which the Rule Soul Avatar could use to analyze further and

improve the Order Law he had comprehended.

However, these fiends became anxious. After having labored continuously for thousands of years, they

dreamed of the day they would dig up a piece of Blood Stone to rest. They never thought that the

moment a Blood Stone appeared, someone would steal it.

"Sir, please have mercy on us. Let us deliver the stone," the old fiend begged.

"No way." The Rule Soul Avatar shook his head and rejected the appeal without any hesitation. The ten

fiends' expression changed at once. While some were angry, others became desperate from the

exhaustion.

"You idiot! You will earn only one day of rest when you hand in the Blood Stone. But if you let him take

it, and continue digging for him, he will allow you to rest for several hours every day," Merle remarked

disdainfully.

He could see that the Blood Stone was important to the Rule Soul Avatar, so he began to tempt the

miners.

The ten fiends were stunned. 'Rest for a few hours every day? What a dream!' They turned to stare at

the Rule Soul Avatar expectantly.

"Sir, is your friend telling the truth?" the old fiend's voice trembled as he asked.

"Yes."

The Rule Soul Avatar nodded.

Now that he had grasped the Shackle and Attack Laws in this mining area, it was easy for him to

protect these fiends from being attacked.

The Rule Soul Avatar waved his hand and eliminated the restrictions on these ten fiends.

"Try it. Stop working for a little while," the Rule Soul Avatar instructed when he saw that the fiends

continued to work.

Hearing this, the old fiend stopped mining tentatively.

Three seconds, six seconds, nine seconds...

Nothing happened even after dozens of seconds. The old fiend stood frozen, tears streaming down his

face.

Plonk!

"Yes, it's true. We can take a break now!"

The old fiend fell to his knees as relief coursed through him.

"Thank you, My Lord..." His voice was choked with sobs.

The other nine fiends also stopped and prostrated themselves, sobbing with joy.

They felt this moment was the best in their lives.

"From now on, you will dig every morning and rest every afternoon. If you find any stones, hand them

to me," the Rule Soul Avatar instructed.

"Yes, sir. We'll do it. Thank you!" the fiends replied in unison.

They were deeply grateful and kowtowed to express their gratitude.

"Let's go,"

the Rule Soul Avatar said to Merle.

"To save your woman?" Merle teased as he cast a sidelong glance at the Rule Soul Avatar.

Crack!

A streak of law struck Merle, making his face turn pale with pain. He glared at the Rule Soul Avatar but

didn't dare to say anything more as they walked out of the mining area.

Soon, the two arrived at another mining area.

According to the Rule Soul Avatar's analysis, there were over nine hundred mining areas along this

mountain range, and all of them contained Blood Stones.

The mine they had left was the smallest one. At least thirty thousand strong fiends were working inside

the largest one. All the fiends mined for Blood Stones day and night without a break.

The Rule Soul Avatar had already decided that he was going to control all these mining areas.

From what he had learned, no one was guarding these mining areas. Thus, the Rule Soul Avatar could

come and go freely without the need to disguise himself.

They came to a mining area that was modest. The hundreds of fiends who worked here day and night

were not weak. The strongest among them could be comparable to cultivators at the top-level of the

Celestial God Realm.

After briefly negotiating, the Rule Soul Avatar took control of the mining area. The fiends, who were

allowed to take a few hours of rest a day, were deeply grateful to him. Unfortunately, there was no

available Blood Stone in this mining area.

Six hours later, the Rule Soul Avatar had occupied most of the mining areas. Only a few large ones

were left.

"You gained a lot today," Merle remarked sourly, but he cursed in his mind. The Rule Soul Avatar's

cultivation level would be further enhanced because he now had three Blood Stones. Content © copyrighted by NôvelDrama.Org.

The Rule Soul Avatar, however, ignored Merle as he entered the largest mining area.

The scene before them was the same as in any other mine. Several massive figures brandished

shovels and hoes as they hacked away at the earth.

"Listen, you ants..." Merle stepped forward and shouted arrogantly. However, before he could say

anything else, the Rule Soul Avatar stopped him and placed his finger over his mouth.

"What's wrong with you?" Merle was confused. This was what they had done in all the previous mines.

"There're guards here."

The Rule Soul Avatar frowned. When he probed, he discovered a fiend who was not under the control

of laws here. He perceived that the fiend was very powerful, at least equivalent to a cultivator at the

Superior God Realm.

Merle immediately fell silent and looked around alertly. He knew better than to cause trouble.

However, they had already alarmed the guard. The ground trembled as a fiend about a hundred feet

tall strode over.

"Damn it! How did you get in here?"

the tall fiend asked as he pointed at the two with a steel fork.

"Crap! Run!" This was Merle's first instinct.

"Don't even think about it," the Rule Soul Avatar cautioned through his spiritual sense. It was

impossible to escape under such circumstances. If they tried, they would be pursued by all the guards

in the mining area, and there would be no way to escape.

"We are the miners," replied the Rule Soul Avatar. At the same time, he unleashed an Attack Law on

Merle.

"Ah!"

Merle roared as he felt a sharp pain in his heart. The Rule Soul Avatar also applied an Attack Law to

himself, and the severe pain made his face twitch.

"Go to work! You menial dogs!"

The guard threw the tools at them and left. Their story was easy enough to believe, not because the

guard was stupid, but because he trusted the law system within the mining area and did not doubt it.

The two gathered the tools and began to dig.

"I don't want to mine. Hurry up and think of a way to kill him." Merle expressed his annoyance through

his spiritual sense.

"Go to the nine hundred and eighty-sixth fiend on your left. Tell him that I can give him some rest and

perhaps even his freedom," the Rule Soul Avatar instructed.

"Huh! Why don't you go?" Merle replied with a sneer.

The Rule Soul Avatar glanced at him coldly and said, "Do you want to work here forever?"

"No, but why does it have to be that fiend?" Merle asked, unwilling to give in.

"He is powerful. He can help us to kill the guard," the Rule Soul Avatar explained.

"Are you sure?" Merle frowned and probed the fiend that the Rule Soul Avatar had selected. However,

the fiend resembled a human, and there was nothing special about him.

"Do it," the Rule Soul Avatar ordered coldly.

"Humph!" The uncontrollable urge to bite the Rule Soul Avatar filled Merle. However, he knew that the

Rule Soul Avatar was too powerful and seldom wrong. It was prudent to follow his instructions, no

matter how much he loathed doing so.

Merle grumbled as he slowly moved in the direction of the fiend as he dug.

Bang!

Agony coursed through Merle as if he had been kicked.

"What are you doing?"

Merle turned to find that the guard was staring at him with his big eyes, as though he would eat him.

Resentment filled Merle, but he had no choice but to remain silent and continue to dig. With each swing

of his shovel, Merle cursed the Rule Soul Avatar ten thousand times in his head.

"You are moving too fast. If you slow down, you will be less conspicuous, and he will not feel as though

something is wrong," the Rule Soul Avatar advised through his spiritual sense.

"Fuck off," Merle responded before continuing to dig.
