Douluo: Law of Heaven and Earth

Chapter 1148 Soul-Guided Explosive Landmine
"According to the speculation of the operations department personnel, if the Haotian Empire is to launch a war, it will most likely split its forces into two routes. One route will head north to attack Gulei and Hagendas, thereby encircling Chihua."

After giving the captains of the Tang Sect's combat department a heads-up, Xiao Lan began to talk about the strategic deployment: "The other route is to head west, attack the Spirit Empire, all the way to the southwest coast, and then head north to invade the Fasno Province and take over Holy Soul City."

Because the Spirit Empire is on good terms with our Chihua, the Clear Sky Empire cannot bypass it no matter what. Moreover, the Clear Sky Sect and the Spirit Hall already have a feud, and the Clear Sky disciples are mostly arrogant; they would never choose to bypass the Spirit Empire, and will inevitably attack the Spirit Hall.

Having learned all this, Ouyang Sun, Qingzhu Zhu, and the others also roughly understood that they would generally have to split into two groups: one going to Gulei and Häagen-Dazs, and the other heading to the Martial Soul Empire.

The Haotian Empire acted much faster than the Chihua Kingdom had anticipated.

Half a month later.

Tang Xiao led Tang Long and Tang Hu, leading an army of 200,000 northwards; Tang Chen led Tang Tian, ​​Tang Yu, and an army of 300,000 eastwards to attack the Spirit Hall.

The Kingdom of Gulei and the Kingdom of Hagendas had already received news of Chihua's arrival and met up on the plains in the lower reaches of the Jinlan River to set up camp.

The Crimson Flower Kingdom also dispatched 100,000 members of the Crimson Turban Army and the Tang Clan's combat department to participate in the war.

"how is the situation?"

The person who spoke was Qingzhu Zhu.

"The Haotian Empire has gone mad!"

"Nothing grows where it is located!"

"Wherever they passed through towns and villages, men, women, and children, none survived!"

"Leave no one alive!"

The two generals recounted the cruel methods of the Haotian Empire's army, and then said, "They will arrive here in three days!"

"Thank goodness you've come, otherwise none of us would have had the courage to face you!"

after all--

There are three deities on the other side!
Tang Xiao, the God of Revelation!

And Tang Long, the god of conquest! Tang Hu, the god of war!
How can mortals possibly defeat gods?
Only members of Chihua have that kind of ability.

"Didn't Chairman Zhou and the others come?"

Some generals, unable to find Zhou Qing, Tang San, and the others, felt a slight sense of panic.

"Why trouble Chairman Zhou and the others with such a minor deity?" Qingzhu Zhugu exclaimed. "We can defeat them ourselves!"

"Chihua truly produces a great number of talented people!"

Although the generals of both countries were not very confident, they knew how advanced Chi Hua's research on cultivation was, and they calmed down a bit.

They remembered that Qingzhu Zhu was the captain of the second generation of the Notting team, and he showed unparalleled talent in the last Continental Elite Tournament!

Now his soul power has reached level 98, and he has even opened up the inner realm within the newly summarized cultivation system of the Crimson Society. He possesses abilities that are unimaginable to ordinary soul masters, and his combat power is outstanding. He may even be able to compete with gods.

Three days, though not a long time, was enough for the Red Turban Army and the Tang Clan's special operations team to lay soul-guided explosive mines along the Haotian Empire's inevitable route.

Soul-guided explosive landmine.

This is one of the research results of the Tang Sect in recent years. The inspiration came from Zhou Qing, and the research was carried out by Tang San and the other Soul Masters.

After all, when it comes to the art of explosions, Zhou Qing is no less skilled than Tang San, who knows how the Buddha's Wrath Lotus was made. And the Soul-Guided Explosive Mine is one of the weapons secretly developed by Chi Hua.

Moreover, this soul-guided explosive landmine is different from the landmines in Zhou Qing's previous life. It is not triggered by pressure, but by the chaotic "soul pressure" in the environment.

Simply put, stepping on it will not cause an explosion, and even hitting it hard with a hammer will not cause an explosion. At most, it will disable the soul-guided explosive landmine and break it into parts.
To trigger an explosion, you must step on it and release your soul power to reach the set soul pressure threshold. Moreover, the soul-guided explosive mines can sense each other within a distance of no more than 20 meters. If one explodes, the other will also explode.

Then the problem is coming.

How can we make the enemy inject soul power into the ground as they advance?
There are two methods.

one.

The plan is to launch a surprise attack after the enemy enters the minefield, causing the enemy to be on high alert and their soul power to circulate unconsciously.

At that time, those with a cultivation level of Soul Venerable or above will have their soul power surging throughout their bodies, and a portion of it will flow into the ground, thereby triggering the soul-guided explosive landmine and causing an explosion.

Second.

Adjust the threshold of the Soul-Guided Explosive Mine to the lowest value.

According to research by the Red Society's Scientific Research Department - Soul Power Research Department, even those who have not awakened their martial soul or engaged in cultivation still possess soul power within their bodies.

The main reason is that the energy of heaven and earth on Douluo Star is quite rich. Even if a person does not cultivate, as long as they grow to adulthood, they will still have a little bit of soul power in their body.

To determine a specific value, the current research suggests a range between 0.01 and 0.1.

When such people engage in life activities, that is, exercise, their soul power will instinctively overflow from their body surface without them even realizing it.

Based on this, after adjusting the threshold of the soul-guided explosive landmine to the lowest level, when more than 10,000 people walk over it, even if they are all ordinary people, the pressure generated when the negligible soul power overflowing from their bodies becomes entangled with each other is enough to trigger an explosion.

Just to be on the safe side—

Qingzhu Zhu chose the second option, considering that the soldiers of the Haotian Empire were not ordinary people, but soldiers, who were also Soul Warriors, with a Soul Power of at least Level 5.

Therefore, the threshold for Soul-Guided Explosive Mines has been slightly increased, to near the median value...
Three days later.

The Haotian Empire's army marched forward.

Tang Xiao knew about the Red Turban Army's guerrilla strategy of "when the enemy advances, we retreat; when the enemy retreats, we advance." Therefore, as the army marched, he paid close attention to hillsides, bushes, and forests where people could hide, but neglected the land beneath his feet.

Even Tang Xiao, who had become a god, was no exception!

however!
boom!
Halfway through the march, just ten miles ahead, the temporary base set up by the allied forces of the Kingdom of Gulei and the Kingdom of Hagendas was suddenly exploded underground, shattering the horses, soul-guided chariots, and soldiers within a 20-meter radius of the army's center.

As the first explosion rang out, the second, the third, the fourth...
In an instant, thousands of explosions erupted from underground. The powerful impact and scattered debris caused heavy casualties among the Haotian Empire's army, with nearly one-tenth of the soldiers killed and nearly one-fifth injured.

"Stop! Don't move!"

Tang Xiao roared, killing the three or four thousand soldiers who had scattered and fled, and imposing his full force, making them dare not move an inch.

The attacks originated underground and occurred frequently...

This made Tang Xiao certain that this was definitely a soul-guided weapon researched by Chi Hua, and it was a one-time explosive soul-guided device. It was definitely not a soul master hiding underground, otherwise, how could he, who had already become a god, not be able to sense it?
However, it was precisely because what was hidden underground was not a Soul Master, but a Soul Tool, that he found it difficult to deal with. After all, a rash attack on the underground might trigger more exploding Soul Tools, causing even greater casualties in the army.

Tang Xiao didn't feel sorry for these non-Haotian disciples, but once they conquered the land, they would need someone to protect it, wouldn't they?
Therefore, we must not lose too much!
Before he could figure out how to deal with the soul-guided explosive mines underground, another explosion rang out, followed by a series of explosions...
