The disciple leading the way seemed intimidated by the reputation of the Punishment Hall mentioned by Hydra, and did not secretly inform Elder Peng of Hydra's arrival.
Upon seeing Hydra and his group, before the bewildered Elder Peng could even speak, Hydra's face fell. "We are from the Punishment Hall. You know the rules of the Punishment Hall. Make the irrelevant people wait."
Elder Peng had done many bad things, and after hearing what Hydra said, he didn't doubt Hydra's identity at all, and dismissed the people around him.
He felt guilty.
He poured a cup of tea for Hydra with a beaming smile. "I have a very good relationship with Elder Zhao, who is in charge of your affairs. Is there something you need from the elders of the Punishment Hall?"
In the Hua Nong Sect, those at the Golden Core stage hold the position of Elder.
After all, the Nascent Soul stage is already the highest level for Hua Nong Sect.
After all, it's a mid-level sect.
In large sects, only those at the Nascent Soul stage can become elders.
"Don't mention Elder Zhao trying to pressure us. We're here on the sect leader's secret orders to count the number of bamboo rats. You should know the rules for the sect leader's men. Lead the way at once!"
The Cube Sweetheart behind Hydra also had a cold face, and instead of sitting down, he stood there and gave orders.
Despite being in the early stage of the Golden Core realm, Elder Peng's expression changed drastically.
Elder Peng broke out in a cold sweat upon hearing Rubik's Cube Sweet Young Master's words. "I'll go right away, I'll lead the way right away."
Elder Peng took out a key and twisted it in mid-air.
A portal of light opened, and he stepped inside first.
Rubik's Cube Sweetie and Hydra exchanged a glance and followed them inside.
This is truly inside the mountain, and only those with the key can enter.
After all, bamboo rats are a strategic resource for Huazhong Agricultural University.
Upon entering the mountain's interior, Hydra detected the scent of a beast, somewhat similar to the scent emanating from Ino Nianhua.
Elder Peng led Hydra and Cube Sweetie into a secret path. After passing through the path, the two found that everything in front of them suddenly opened up.
A large number of bamboo rats are now living inside. These bamboo rats are all in demon form, each one is two or three meters tall, and the hydra sensed them and found that most of these bamboo rats were actually at the Golden Core stage!
Bamboo rats in the Foundation Establishment stage are very rare!
They're being raised very well!
These bamboo rats are kept in square enclosures covered with array runes, preventing them from escaping.
Inside the enclosure were many bamboo and elephant grass, which were food for bamboo rats.
These bamboo rats were all listlessly staying in their cages, whether it was their nature or because they had been abused, it was hard to tell.
"We have recently been raising bamboo rats very well. Please look, envoy. Most of the bamboo rats have already advanced to the Golden Core stage. This is the number, type, and losses of the bamboo rats."
Elder Peng handed Hydra a spiritual paper, but Hydra didn't even take it. Instead, he raised his chin, gesturing for Cube Sweet to take it.
This is so pretentious...
Rubik's Cube Sweetie secretly rolled her eyes and took the documents from Elder Peng's hand.
Hmm... It's too complicated to understand.
Just as Rubik's Cube Sweetie was looking at the documents, Elder Peng timidly approached Hydra and whispered, "A few bamboo rats that suffered from heatstroke were taken away to be slaughtered, but the rest are fine. Please take good care of them, Your Excellency!"
Elder Peng secretly handed Hydra a ring, which Hydra accepted without making a sound.
When the listless bamboo rats saw that Elder Peng was actually playing tricks on the hydra, they all stood up and started making a fuss.
"That heartless Peng is up to his old tricks again!!!"
"People of Huazhong Agricultural University, look!!! Those two are making a deal!!!"
"This guy accepted Black Heart Peng's ring!!!"
Hydra needs to change its assessment now.
These bamboo rats are all very energetic!
"Shut up!! Shut up!!! You damned monsters!" Elder Peng was immediately enraged. He pulled one hand in the air and a whip wrapped with lightning appeared. He swung the whip down and lashed it at the bamboo rats.
It must be said that Elder Peng is quite capable.
At least this lightning technique was very powerful, which made Hydra's eyes light up.
The bamboo rats' backs instantly became covered in blood, but monsters recover quickly and it all healed in no time.
They've just become a bit more listless.
Some of the tougher bamboo rats wouldn't shut up even after being whipped; they would still make a fuss.
"It's a conspiracy!! It's a conspiracy!!"
"They treat rats' lives like dirt!"
Perhaps sensing the cold gaze of Magic Cube Sweet Young Master, Elder Peng gritted his teeth and openly handed him a ring. Magic Cube Sweet Young Master accepted it without batting an eye and nodded to the Foundation Establishment stage players behind him.
Seeing Rubik's Cube Sweet Young Master's behavior, Elder Peng was finally completely relieved.
He arrogantly laughed at the bamboo rats: "Hahaha, you lowly monsters, how could you possibly understand the popularity I, Old Peng, have in the Hua Nong Sect!"
In Elder Peng's view, accepting gifts meant they were one of his own.
Completely relieved that he was facing the two special envoys, Elder Peng brandished his lightning whip and lashed out at the most troublesome bamboo rats.
Those bamboo rats all looked different from ordinary gray bamboo rats.
They are white and gold, respectively.
They are considered the aristocrats among bamboo rats, and are relatively rare.
As a bamboo rat, white and golden fur is a death-proof card.
Therefore, they are quite assertive and naturally less likely to be disciplined.
"Don't be so smug, you heartless Peng!!! Our King will come back to save us sooner or later!"
"Hmph! King Ino Nianhua is not someone you humans can kill so easily!"
"Hmph! You bunch of idiotic rats, you actually expect your king to come and save you?" Elder Peng sneered. "That big rat is long dead! Give up on that idea!"
"Nonsense! You damned human! My king will never die!" Upon hearing Peng Zhao's words that were meant to provoke hatred, all the bamboo rats began to clamor.
Just as Elder Peng was about to lose his temper, the Hydra, who was standing quietly next to him, suddenly spoke up, "Hmm... this guy is right about one thing."
"Your king has been confirmed dead."
Before Hydra could finish speaking, the entire space fell silent.
The bamboo rats and Elder Peng were both stunned.
"Hahaha! I told you so!!! You still didn't believe me! This is an envoy from the Hua Nong Sect! You should believe his words!"
Elder Peng quickly came to his senses and began to mock the bamboo rats.
He didn't realize that Rubik's Cube Sweetheart had already unknowingly stood behind him.
"Nonsense! You damned humans are spouting nonsense!!!"
"Exactly! Show me your evidence if you dare!!!"
After a moment of stunned silence, the bamboo rats began to clamor, expressing their disbelief.
No one from the Huazhong sect is any good!
