Clearly, a tough battle awaits the players.
After all, there are many of the Huazhong Agricultural University brothers' confidants, that is, their brothers, in the Huazhong Agricultural University campus.
The Hua Nong Brothers are mostly powerful cultivators at the late Golden Core stage, and they certainly understand battle formations.
Although the older brother from Huazhong Agricultural University often asked them for things, they were still brothers after all.
The players who had eliminated the photographer surrounded Huazhong Agricultural University and launched a fierce attack!
Boom boom boom!
However, no matter what kind of attack it was, it was absorbed by the phantom image above Hua Nong Garden, which resembled a small river. As long as this formation could not be broken, the players would not be able to enter Hua Nong Garden at all!
It must be said that Hua Nong Ge's preparations before his seclusion were quite thorough.
Several layers of defense have ensured that Huazhong Agricultural University is well protected.
If the photographer hadn't stepped in to clean up the mess, the players probably wouldn't have been able to do anything about it, not even to him.
This attack lasted for a full three hours.
For three hours, the river formation didn't even show any fluctuations.
All the players' attacks went to waste. They kept attacking until their mana was depleted and the battle formation automatically dissipated, but to no avail.
"Damn it! I can't handle this! What is this damn formation?!" Deacon Bone plopped down on the ground, indicating that he was exhausted.
Not just him, most players were exhausted.
It's not that the players lack perseverance, but rather that they genuinely don't know how to properly solve this broken formation.
"Forget it, let the rat clan surround this place, and we'll go digest the Hua Nong Sect's accumulated resources."
After considering it for a moment, Hydra decided to abandon its attack on this area for the time being.
The four big rat clans were happy to take on this task. They not only surrounded Huazhong Agricultural University, but also kept shouting and cursing outside, trying to provoke Huazhong Agricultural University's leader out.
These rats have been driven to madness by being locked up; they find it incredibly satisfying and exhilarating to curse these Huazhong Agricultural University people.
Seeing the rat tribe having so much fun, the players were naturally happy to collect the accumulated wealth of the Hua Nong Sect over the past thousand years.
As the overlord of the entire Hua Nong universe, Hua Nong Sect has accumulated a great deal of wealth over the past thousand years, most of which is concentrated in Hua Nong Garden. However, even a small part of its other assets is enough to leave players dumbfounded.
The players were completely bewildered by the various treasures and materials whose uses were unknown.
The players have collected everything from the eight immortal cities and the four great cities.
The metal materials were entrusted to the Holy Sword Blacksmith.
The alchemy materials were entrusted to Fullmetal Alchemist.
This is a new storage function set up by Liu Xingyao. After all, players simply don't understand many of the precious materials, so they can just leave them with the NPC and take them out whenever they need them.
Furthermore, the players also seized a large number of skill books and elixirs.
However, players did not find any pills or recipes for advancing to the Nascent Soul stage. It is unknown whether the Hua Nong Sect does not have them or if they are located in the Hua Nong Garden.
After all, the entire Hua Nong Sect only has three Nascent Soul stage cultivators, one of whom is a Nascent Soul stage deputy sect leader who was a rogue cultivator who was later recruited.
Huazhong Agricultural University is still closed; the enemy's big boss has not yet made a move.
For players, this is the so-called early stage of the BOSS battle, a time when it is essential to strengthen their abilities.
The players consumed all the spirit stones and pills they had collected.
Fifty thousand players, using some spirit stones and pills, all advanced to the peak of the Golden Core stage, reaching 99% completion, which means they were all at the half-step Nascent Soul stage.
The captured supplies were not even used up.
This shows how wealthy Hua Nongzong was.
After reaching the half-step Nascent Soul stage, further upgrades using medicine and spirit stones become impossible.
Players have reached a bottleneck and must seek ways to level up.
And coincidentally, there is a Nascent Soul stage NPC here, which is perfect for players to obtain information.
That's the King of Groundhogs.
The hydra, carrying several high-grade spirit stones, ran into the cave where the ground rat king was resting.
The location where the Gopher King revived is very secret, and of course, it won't be hidden from Hydra.
"How's the recovery going, Mole King?" The Hydra tossed the spirit stones in its hand toward Mole King, who caught a few high-grade spirit stones and ate them in a few bites.
"The recovery is going well. You brought me so many pills and spirit stones, how could it not recover?" The lower half of the Earth Rat King has now grown back, and his injuries have basically healed, but his magic power has not yet recovered.
After all, this isn't a real game world; there are no blue potions here.
"Keep it up, there's still a tough battle ahead."
Hydra patted the Gopher King's sturdy shoulder. "Hmm... still pretty hard."
"Don't worry, I'll drag Brother Huazhong Agricultural University down with me even if I die!"
One of the Mole King's enemies is dead, and the remaining one is surrounded by his own forces. The Mole King is in a great mood now, and his injuries are healing faster.
"That's good." Hydra nodded. "I came to see you this time for no other reason than to ask you about the method for advancing to the Nascent Soul stage."
"Does your faction... have anyone who has already reached the half-step Nascent Soul stage?" Upon hearing Hydra's question, the Rat King was taken aback, then swallowed hard and voiced his doubts.
It's worth noting that when they first encountered the player faction, most of them were only at the early Golden Core stage.
“No, that’s not it.” Hydra shook its head with a smile. Just as the Rat King breathed a sigh of relief, he heard Hydra say, “We are all currently at the half-step Nascent Soul stage, and... one of us can advance to the Nascent Soul stage at any time.”
Seeing the Gopher King's dumbfounded expression, as if he wanted to say something, Hydra chuckled.
This upgrade speed is stable for players, but it's crazy for these NPCs.
It should be noted that the growth of a Golden Core cultivator takes hundreds of years.
As expected, the photographer's body had yielded a Nascent Soul Pill as a sacrifice at the Heavenly Dao Altar.
The shape of this Nascent Soul Pill is that of a photographer sitting cross-legged.
"Purple Pill - Nascent Soul Pill. This is a Nascent Soul Pill from the photographer. After you use it, you will have the photographer's realm, aura, and cultivation techniques, but your appearance will remain unchanged. This pill can only be used by humans."
This pill, which came from the photographer, is now in Zero's hands. After all, Zero's cosplay talent allows him to perfectly disguise himself as someone else. With this Nascent Soul Pill, Zero can perfectly transform into the photographer—well, except for his height.
But it's okay, we can just add more insoles to make it taller.
Zero hasn't used this pill yet because it's said that starting from the Nascent Soul stage, cultivators will face a tribulation of lightning when they advance. Hydra plans to find out more before letting Zero advance.
It is important to be prepared.
