"Senior Brother Tang, what's going on?" Chen Fan looked at the little golden ant in the distance and asked in confusion.

Tang Ning said: "This is one of my spiritual beasts. It fell into a deep sleep before, but now it suddenly woke up and its spiritual power surged, so I brought it here to absorb the spiritual power of heaven and earth to complete its advancement."

Several people had already speculated before, so they were not surprised when they heard what he said, but they were just envious.

Everyone knows that there is a late-stage foundation-building spiritual beast beside him, and now he will add a second-level spiritual beast.

This spiritual beast is a rare thing in Xingang. He actually owns two powerful second-level spiritual beasts. How can he not be envied by others.

At this moment, the golden light curtain around the Golden Armored Ant has shattered and dissipated under the continuous attack of a large amount of spiritual power from heaven and earth.

Huge spiritual energy from heaven and earth poured into its body like a tide. The Golden Armored Ant hissed and screamed, and its body grew bigger and bigger after absorbing the spiritual energy from heaven and earth.

As time went by, the spiritual power vortex shrank little by little, and the body of the golden armored ant grew to the size of three feet and stopped swelling.

At this moment, it looks majestic, with a golden body, two tentacles about a foot long, fluttering in the wind, like fluttering flags, its limbs are short and thick, two golden wings as thin as cicada wings sprout from its back, and its mouth reveals densely packed branches.

of sharp teeth.

About half an hour later, the spiritual vortex in mid-air finally dissipated. The Golden Armored Ant had successfully completed the advancement, and the spiritual aura around its body had reached the second-level level.

Tang Ning's mind moved, and the golden armored ant flapped its wings and turned into an afterimage, arriving beside him in the blink of an eye.

Everyone was slightly startled when they saw this, even Tang Ning was startled. Because the two were far apart, the golden ant only fluttered its wings for a moment before reaching his side. The speed was incredibly fast, and it even left a mark in the air.

Afterimage.

If it were a space technique that could travel through space like a little white snake, that would be fine, but it was a real flight, and the speed of such a flight was a few steps weaker than that of a late-stage foundation-building monk like him.

I guess it is the function of the pair of golden thin wings behind it. The golden ant has never had wings before. They grew out of it during the advancement. I didn't expect the effect to be so obvious.

Tang Ning leaned down and gently stroked its head. The golden ant narrowed its eyes and shrank its head slightly, looking docile.

"Senior Brother Tang, congratulations, the spirit beast has successfully advanced. It will receive a lot of help in the future." Yang Yunzhi said.

Others agreed.

Tang Ning smiled slightly and said nothing. She flipped her left hand, took out the spirit beast bag, and pointed it at it. The spirit beast bag swelled up in the wind and became ten feet in size. The golden-armored ant flashed and flew into it obediently.

"Junior brothers, let's go back soon!"

A group of people filed into the formation and returned to their rooms.

Tangning returned to the room and patted the spirit beast bag. A golden light flashed out, and the golden-armored ant jumped out and lay on the ground.

Tang Ning wanted to see what abilities it had as it advanced. As soon as the idea came to her mind, the Golden Armored Ant had already sensed it. When it opened its mouth, a golden light curtain formed around it, growing bigger and bigger.

It was about to burst the entire room, but Tang Ning quickly stopped it.

The golden light curtain suddenly disappeared, and the golden-armored ant still lay motionless on the ground.

Seeing this, Tang Ning sighed slightly in her heart. It seemed that this golden ant only had one method at present, which was much worse than the little white snake.

But having said that, comparing it with the little white snake, my expectations are indeed too high. How many spiritual beasts in the world can compare with the little white snake!

He took out the spirit beast bag, and the golden-armored ant flashed and took the initiative to enter it.

Tang Ning sat down cross-legged, swallowed the elixir, closed her eyes and practiced.

…………………………………………………………………………

Time flies, and several months have passed. The Demon Sect has not appeared again since the last attack failed.

On this day, Tang Ning was practicing meditation with his eyes closed in the house. There was a knock on the door outside. He opened his eyes and said, "Come in."

Chen Fan pushed the door in from the outside and said: "Senior Brother Tang, the Cai Sect has just conveyed the order to us through the sound transmission array. The Yuanyi Palace has sent disciples on the way, asking us to prepare the escorted Flaming Birds.

, escorted to Duanjishanfang City together with the disciples of Yuan Yidian."

Tangning nodded and said, "You should be responsible for this matter!"

"Okay." Chen Fan nodded and responded.

"When will the sect's manpower arrive?"

"About the next day or two."

"Okay, go ahead!"

"Yes." Chen Fan responded and retreated.

……………………………………………

Two days later, outside the Tianshui Lake formation, two escaping lights shot out, and two men appeared.

Behind the two men, there were dozens of disciples holding magical weapons. One of the men waved his hand, and the talisman passed into the light curtain.

Tang Ning was sitting cross-legged in the room when his storage bag suddenly shook. He opened his eyes from his trance, took out the formation plate, pointed it toward it, took the talisman into his hand, and then fiddled with it slightly.

A gap was created in the large array of light curtains, and everyone outside filed in. The two leaders went straight to Tangning's room and knocked on the door.

"Come in."

The two pushed the door open and entered, saying: "Senior Brother Tang, I'm sorry to disturb you. We are here under the orders of Uncle Peng to escort the Flaming Bird."

"It's Junior Brother Shen and Junior Brother Wei! Sit down!"

The two of them took their seats as instructed, and Tang Ning said: "I heard from Junior Brother Chen Fan before. He is responsible for the specific matters of the Flamingo. I am only responsible for the defense of the formation and the escort on the road. Have you escorted the Flamingo before?

?”

Shen Huailin said: "We have always been responsible for communicating with the Chamber of Commerce and loading and unloading at Duanjishanfang City, so we follow the escort team every time."

"That's good. How many disciples have you brought this time?"

"There are a total of forty disciples from Yuan Yidian and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, who are responsible for escorting this transport."

"How long does it take to arrive at Duanjishanfang City from here?"

"If everything goes well, it will take three or four months to arrive."

Tangning shouted: "Here comes someone."

Not long after, a disciple from outside pushed the door in, bowed and said, "Uncle Tang, what do you have to say?"

"Go and invite Junior Brother Chen here."

"Yes." The disciple took the order and left. About tea time, a ray of light fell, and Chen Fan came in from the outside. He bowed his head and said, "Senior Brother Tang, did you call me?"

"Junior Brother Chen, sit down!"

Chen Fan took his seat as instructed, and Tang Ning said: "Junior Brother Shen from Yuan Yidian and Junior Brother Wei from the Foreign Affairs Academy have arrived. You must be old acquaintances. The three of you can discuss the specific affairs of the Flaming Bird!"

Wei Xin said: "Senior Brother Chen, I wonder if all the 25,000 flamingos being transported this time have been captured and packed?"

Chen Fan said: "We have only captured and packed twelve thousand of them now, and they are waiting for you to come! You should have brought all the water-attribute talismans you received from the sect!"

Shen Huailin said: "A thousand first-order water attribute talismans are all here with me."

Chen Fan said: "Have the negotiations been concluded with Beijishanfang City?"

Shen Huailin said: "The former has contacted them. The Baoxing Chamber of Commerce's transport ship will arrive in half a year. We have arranged for our materials to be carried on this ship to Tianfu Island, where there will be people from the Chamber of Commerce to help."

The three of them chatted for a long time before leaving.

A few days passed by, and in the Tianshui Lake Assembly Hall, Tang Ning was sitting on the main seat, with Yang Yunzhi, Yang Yuan, Chen Fan, Xu Tao, Qian Yi, Cheng Wu, Zhang Chong, Shen Huailin, and Wei Xin sitting below.

Tang Ning said: "Junior brothers are all here. The sect ordered us to escort the Flaming Bird to Back Ridge Mountain City to hand over to the Chamber of Commerce. However, this place must not be left unguarded. I decided to leave it to Junior Brother Yang, Junior Brother Cheng, and Junior Brother Zhang. Guard the formation, and the rest will follow me to the Back Ridge Mountain."

"Yes." Everyone responded.

Tang Ning flipped her hand and took out the formation disk: "Junior Brother Cheng, this central formation disk is still under your custody. I have just informed the sect and asked for more people to help you defend. I think they will be here soon. Please be careful and guard. .”

Cheng Wu stood up, took the formation plate and nodded yes.

"Junior brothers, let's get going!" Tang Ning said, stood up and walked out of the hall, with everyone following closely behind.

Outside the hall, fifty disciples were waiting in a queue. In addition to the forty disciples dispatched by the sect to escort him, there were also ten disciples guarding Tianshui Lake who also set off with the escort team.

Beside the crowd, there were twenty-five huge black stone boxes, each about three feet long, two feet wide, and one foot high.

Each box contains one thousand flaming birds, a total of twenty-five thousand. There are forty water-attribute talismans densely pasted inside to supply clean water.

"Let's go." Tang Ning waved his hand, and all the disciples lifted up the stone boxes, raised their magical weapons and flew into the air. The group of people filed out of the formation and headed towards the southwest.

Each stone box was carried by two disciples one behind the other. Tang Ning was leading the way, and Chen Fan was supervising from behind. Yang Yunzhi, Xu Tao, Qian Yi, Shen Huailin, and Wei Xin were guarding the left and right sides. Go slowly.

Because he was worried that the Demon Sect would obtain information and ambush him along the way, Tang Ning did not tell everyone the specific route and just asked the large troops to follow him.

Tangning flew ahead, turning her head and looking sideways from time to time, always paying attention to who was following her.

The team moved forward slowly, moving very slowly due to the heavy weight of the stone boxes, until the sun set and the moon hung high, Tang Ning ordered to stop briefly on a mountain peak.

All the disciples put down the stone box and breathed a sigh of relief. Sweat had formed on some of their foreheads. It was obvious that carrying a heavy load required a lot of spiritual energy. After only walking for more than a hundred miles in one day, the spiritual energy was already exhausted. .

Everyone sat cross-legged and took pills to restore their lost spiritual power.

Tang Ning ordered Yang Yunzhi and Chen Fan to stay on guard outside, and nothing happened all night until the sky turned white and everyone set off again.

For four months, everyone traveled day and night, moving at a speed of about two to three hundred miles every day, and finally arrived safely in front of the light curtain in Duanjishanfang City.

"Senior Brother Tang, I will go to Fang City to report first and ask them to send manpower to transport the goods," Chen Fan said.

Tangning nodded and everyone stayed outside.
Chapter completed!
