Douluo: What the hell is the academic master development system?

Chapter 886 Who's talking to you about the rules of the martial arts world?

Chen Ping had considered the decision to set up a poison trap well in advance.

Although Chen Ping had mentioned before that the academy should send someone to see if they could find the soul master with the Azure Serpent Martial Soul.

However, perhaps because the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well was hidden or sealed off, Chen Ping did not find any Azure Serpent Martial Soul Masters still active on the continent, let alone Azure Serpent Emperor Martial Soul Masters.

However, unlike Dugu Bo's terrifying snake venom, which could cause a chain reaction of explosions that turned the entire city green and even caused corpses to explode a second time, Chen Ping could guarantee a sufficient supply of the poison powder from the Seven Deadly Flowers of Azure Phosphorus.

At this moment, as large swaths of dense poisonous fog rose up, the overwhelming beast tide almost instantly descended into chaos.

Using poisonous fog as a defensive tool is child's play compared to Chen Ping's hometown's practice of pouring golden liquid on people's heads and throwing plague-ridden corpses into other cities. But it must be said that this method is really devastating!

In an instant, large numbers of ten-year level soul beasts fell down like leeks being harvested. The hundred-year level soul beasts fared slightly better, but they were still poisoned by the Seven Absolute Flower Poison Powder of the Azure Phosphorus, which was diluted many times over, and were staggering. Although these soul beasts were just cannon fodder when the beast tide was launched, even cannon fodder should not die so worthlessly!

"How cunning humans are!"

At this moment, behind the beast tide, Bi Ji saw the overwhelming poisonous fog and her expression changed instantly. The toxicity of this fog was definitely not simple. After this first charge, it was likely that only the soul beasts of the thousand-year level or above would be able to return alive.

Although those century-old soul beasts don't seem to be dead yet, and can even stagger forward, everyone knows that their lives are already on a countdown.

How could such a vicious tactic not make Brigitte angrily rebuke the human side for their lack of martial ethics?
Chen Ping stood on the city wall, watching the poison trap take effect, and nodded in satisfaction.

Even if he didn't know what Brigitte was thinking, he would only smile indifferently.

These words make it sound as if the Shrek people were begging the Star Dou Forest to launch a beast tide to attack them. If the Shrek City Guard had used such methods when invading the Star Dou Forest, it might have been considered malicious.

But the current situation is that the soul beasts of Star Dou Forest are invading Shrek City!
In this situation, who the hell cares about the rules of the martial arts world? It's just that Chen Ping is reluctant to part with the Jade Scale Nine Absolute Flower Poison Powder and the even rarer Jade Scale Ten Absolute Flower Powder with its extreme poison attribute. Otherwise, he would have taken down at least a thousand-year-old or ten-thousand-year-old soul beasts today!

From the moment Chen Ping began to prepare for a possible beast tide, and with the advent of the sealed milk bottle technology, there has been no longer a beast tide on this continent capable of conquering Shrek City. Di Tian's ability to forcibly demolish towers with his personal power is an exception, but relying solely on the beast tide to withstand it is definitely hopeless.

Of course, this conclusion does not apply to the Star Dou Forest spirit beasts who have just launched their beast tide attack. Even Chen Ping, although he theoretically understands that this is indeed the case, still has to wait and see whether the impregnable Shrek City can withstand the impact of the beast tide.

Looking at the horde of beasts howling in agony below the city walls, Chen Ping showed no particular emotion.

Although the deadly poison traps weren't that terrifyingly powerful because they were reluctant to use stronger poison powder and worried that the excessively strong poison powder would affect the soldiers on the city walls, just like those traps that were popular to activate, the traps that could truly harm thousand-year-old or ten-thousand-year-old soul beasts hadn't even been unleashed yet!
"Sizzle—sizzle—sizzle—"

Crackling sounds of electricity erupted from the horde of soul beasts, as thick bolts of electricity burst forth from the beast tide, conducting to the nearby soul beasts. Often, a single burst of electricity would cause dozens of surrounding soul beasts to be electrocuted, their skin torn and bleeding. Looking down from above, it seemed as if thousands of electric nets of varying sizes and shapes had instantly exploded within the entire beast tide.

The Soul-Guided Electromagnetic Trap is a Level 3 Soul Tool. It is also the most energy-intensive Soul Tool present. A single pulse of current can drain all the soul power from a Level 3 sealed milk bottle.

At this moment, the soul beasts shrouded in the electric net within the entire beast tide seemed to have been frozen in place by Chen Ping's Frost Fixation Seal. The smaller soul beasts were charred, while the larger ones trembled all over.

Almost simultaneously, frost traps and fireball traps were also activated beneath the feet of these soul beasts, and frost bombs and fireballs with a diameter of one meter exploded from the center of the beast tide.

"Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!"

Below Shrek City, nothing but explosions continued. The ten-kilometer-long soul-guided trap array exploded one after another, as if Death had decided to work overtime, throwing out hundreds and thousands of Death's scythes that flew through the air to reap the lives of soul beasts.

The practice of placing the soul beasts 500 meters away from the city wall before activating the traps yielded the richest rewards. At this point, the entire road from the front of Shrek City to ten kilometers away had become a veritable pilgrimage to death.

The ferocious beasts behind the beast tide weren't fools; they naturally knew they had been ambushed. But knowing it was an ambush, what did they do next?
The road stretching for ten kilometers was riddled with ground traps, all of which were soul tools capable of quickly killing soul beasts. Even if these ferocious beasts wanted to retreat, it would take them an extremely long time.

Before these soul beasts retreat, no matter how powerful the ferocious beasts are at this time, they cannot use a super-wide range of soul skill firepower to cover the ground below Shrek City, otherwise they would be helping Shrek to clear out the beast tide!
This terrifying position, which had devoured countless lives, had been completely closed off after the beast tide army pressed in. Now, all that was left for the ferocious beasts was to retreat, and a rout with heavy losses and utter defeat!

"Let the beast tide retreat!"

Brigitte's face showed a hint of anxiety as she spoke.

Although she was well aware of the terrifying losses that would result from doing so, they had no choice. If they didn't clear away the traps set by Shrek, even if a hundred of their soul beasts charged out, not one of them might be able to reach the foot of the city wall!

"Damn it, these humans are more cunning than the most treacherous fox!"

As Xiong Jun watched the explosions and lasers rising from the position, his expression turned extremely grim.

These humans before them had inflicted such heavy losses on the beast tide with just a bunch of extremely cheap soul tools. How could they possibly face Emperor Tian with such shame?

The Demon King looked at everything before him with an equally grim expression. Only now did he realize why these humans had erected so many heavy cannons on the city walls but hadn't fired a single shot.
