Volume VIII The Defeat

Judging from the appearance, this is also an ostrich, but the size of this ostrich is several times larger than that of ordinary ostriches! Standing up is as tall as three Mingxuan! Mingxuan is even as tall as its long legs, and it can't imagine how it got out of such a small stone cave, and such a behemoth suddenly appeared in front of everyone, and immediately everyone gasped, but the ostriches were greatly boosted because of its appearance, and the "quack" shouted in unison, and the attack was even more fierce.

"Don't panic, everyone! it's just an old ostrich, I'll take care of it!" Ming Xuan said with some contempt, trying to alleviate everyone's panic, at this time, we must stabilize the army's heart.

Being able to seriously injure Cao Jiechun, who is at the level of an ability, with one blow, and on the premise of using a knife to remove most of the attacks, it can be seen that the strength of this ostrich beast will never be as simple as an old ostrich beast as he said in his mouth.

"Brother Wang, you go and help the other brothers, do your best to solve the battle! I will deal with it first, and if it is unfavorable, I will immediately flee with everyone!"

"Okay!" now is not the time to be hypocritical, Wang Cuishan immediately acted!

"Old fellow, your opponent is me!" Ming Xuan stopped in front of the great ostrich and roared with his sword.

From the time it came out until now, the big ostrich beast looked very calm, just quietly looking at the people fighting together, his eyes were full of indifference, even if an ostrich fell in front of its eyes, or Ming Xuan roared at it, he didn't see it move, he still just looked at the chaotic situation lightly.

"It's just right that you don't move, wait until we wipe out all your children and grandchildren, see if you can be so calm!" Ming Xuan sneered a few times, but his heart became more and more uneasy.

Before the big ostrich came out, Ming Xuan and the others had already achieved an advantage in numbers, and the shape shì was also a good thing, although due to the sudden appearance of the big ostrich, the morale of the ostrich group was greatly boosted, but it was still not enough to make up for the lack of strength, and there were still ostrich beasts dying one after another, and the shape shì was still good.

"Seeing its children and grandchildren die but indifferent, what does it think?" Every time an ostrich died, Ming Xuan's heart was shocked, and he looked at the big ostrich beast vigilantly, fearing that it would burst out, but after so long, it seemed indifferent.

Just when Ming Xuan was puzzled, the casualties of the ostriches continued, and the ostriches that were not left were also extremely tenacious, inadvertently, an ostrich pierced the head of a disciple with its long beak, and there were casualties on their side, but there were few ostriches left, only five of them were stubbornly resisting there, and it was a matter of time before the battle was resolved.

"Let's go together!Kill the last five ostriches, and get out of here!" Ming Xuan seemed to sense something!

But at that moment, the great ostrich moved! It raised its head and roared! The sound of "quack" pierced the sky!

I saw that the big ostrich raised its huge wings and flapped it violently, and a strong wind rushed towards it, and Ming Xuan, who was standing firmly, couldn't stand firm! Not to mention other companions who were still fighting, and the other ostrich beasts were obviously very accustomed to this kind of wind, and they were not affected at all, just like that, the shape turned sharply! Taking advantage of the unstable foothold of the Qingyangmen disciples, the ostrich beast waited for the opportunity to counterattack, and two people died under the long beak at once!

"Oh no!" Ming Xuan's face changed drastically.

Ming Xuan naturally wouldn't sit idly by, and after adjusting his body, he immediately swung his long sword and attacked like a big ostrich! With Cao Jiechun's previous experience, Ming Xuan naturally didn't dare to be careless, and he did his best as soon as he made a move!

Seeing Ming Xuan attacking, the big ostrich didn't even knock him with his eyes, and when it attacked in front of him, it only flicked its wings slightly, and it shook Ming Xuan and his sword away!

"Good...... It's so strong!" Ming Xuan flew back a few steps before he stabilized his figure.

"This big ostrich beast is not only several times larger than other ostrich beasts, but I'm afraid that it will also be several times stronger in other aspects! This blow of mine is almost the strongest attack of the martial artist's strength, and it can't actually bring it any trouble!" Ming Xuan's face became a little solemn.

"Let's fight and retreat!Stay away from the big ostrich!" Ming Xuan shouted, only by staying away from the big ostrich can the impact of the wind be mitigated.

While speaking, Ming Xuan came to the big ostrich again, if he didn't drag it, then every qiē would be in vain.

"Old guy, let's do it again!" Ming Xuan deceived himself again!

This time, Ming Xuan didn't use the Drifting Snow Sword Technique, but directly stabbed straight over, using the strength of his whole body, as well as all the internal force in his body!

"I see if you can still be at ease!" Ming Xuan roared and pounced on the big ostrich again!

The power of this blow can be seen, Ming Xuan, together with the black sword, attacked the big ostrich beast with a sharp wind, and the momentum was terrifying!

With such a fierce blow, the big ostrich beast was not as indifferent as before, but it only looked at Ming Xuan coldly, and then shook its head and blocked Ming Xuan's blow with its long beak!

With a "clang", the black sword and the long beak slammed together! The huge impact force immediately dispersed! This time the big ostrich was not as calm as before, put away its wings and staggered back, but Ming Xuan was a little miserable, not only was he directly shocked and flew a long way, but also the tiger's mouth was shattered, and he was also hit by a powerful counterforce.

"It's not good, everyone retreat quickly!" Although they only fought two short moves, Ming Xuan was already convinced that the great ostrich's powerful strength was not something they could compete with, so he could only avoid it for the time being.

Everyone saw the battle between Ming Xuan and the big ostrich, and naturally knew that what he said was true, so he didn't hesitate at the moment, and left the battlefield quickly while the big ostrich was still adjusting!

Seeing that they were about to flee, the ostrich rarely did not pursue, but let them go, and after a while, the woods that had just fought the earth-shattering were now silent.

"Fortunately, they didn't chase after them, otherwise we would all have to be planted today!" Wang Cuishan said breathlessly, he carried the unconscious Cao Jiechun all the way to run wildly, and the loss was self-evident.

"That big ostrich beast is too strong!" Yu Ming said with palpitations.

"What are our casualties this time?" Ming Xuan didn't seem to have recovered from the backlash of that blow.

"Alas, five brothers died, and two were seriously injured. Wang Cuishan said sadly.

"It's all my fault! I shouldn't have started this decisive battle!" Ming Xuan said in a choked voice, annoyed.

"I don't blame you for this, who would have thought that there would be such a terrifying big ostrich entrenched in its lair?" Yu Ming comforted.

"Now is not the time to discuss this, let's settle down as much as possible!" Wang Cuishan said calmly.

After making sure that they had stayed away from the ostrich's lair, and when they reached safety, everyone settled down, buried the dead, and treated the wounded, and everyone proceeded silently, at this time the atmosphere of grief began to gradually spread, and when it was over, everyone gathered quietly around the fire, and no one wanted to speak, only the branches crackled in the fire.

"This operation was my misarrangement, which caused everyone to fall into a bitter battle, and even caused the tragic death of five brothers, it was all my fault!" Ming Xuan's hoarse voice came, breaking the silence around him.

"We've been in this mountain range for months, and we've never seen that great ostrich ever appeared, and no one expected it to exist, and when it came to arranging the action, everyone had no objections, and was prepared to face risks, and although the final turn of events was a bit unexpected, we can't blame you entirely. Yu Ming said in a harmonious voice, and everyone nodded yes, there was really no place to criticize Mingxuan, but he didn't want to go.

"The dead are gone, and they are still alive, so let's discuss the next arrangements. Wang Cuishan comforted.

"That great ostrich is very strong, and I am afraid that the strength of all of us is no match for it. Yu Ming sighed, Cao Jiechun was seriously injured after a blow, and Ming Xuan couldn't shake it with all his strength, and the strength of the big ostrich beast didn't need to be repeated.

"Mingxuan, what do you think?" After getting along for so long, everyone has become accustomed to listening to his advice.

"Even if the great ostrich doesn't appear, I don't plan to kill it all. Ming Xuan said slowly, slowly adjusting his state of mind.

"Huh?" Everyone was a little puzzled at this moment, after all, they had a deep enmity with the ostriches, but Ming Xuan wanted to let them go.

"We came here to practice, and the elders have repeatedly instructed us that it is very dangerous here, casualties are inevitable, ostrich beasts are actually the same as us, they are not here to kill, they are also for training, the difference is only that they are beasts, we are humans. Ming Xuan continued.

"Then what do you mean?" Wang Cuishan didn't understand what Ming Xuan wanted to express.

"What I want to tell you is that we are here to experience and not to kill, casualties are inevitable, everyone should be mentally prepared for this, there is nothing wrong with avenging their companions, but if you are blinded by hatred, it is wrong. Although Mingxuan blamed himself for this defeat, he couldn't ignore the real way forward.

Hearing Ming Xuan say this, everyone was silent, obviously thinking about it, since entering the territory of the beast, they have watched their friends and companions around them being killed by the ostrich, and there are no bones left, and they inevitably have hatred in their hearts, and they have been fighting with such a mentality, and Ming Xuan is now suing them that it is wrong to do this, obviously they can't accept it all of a sudden.

"That's right, the ostrich killed a lot of our companions, but we also killed a lot of ostriches, which can be regarded as revenge, blindly locking our eyes on them, will make us narrow-sighted, not to mention the appearance of the big ostrich, so we lose the ability to compete with the ostrich, this matter can only be put first. "Originally, Ming Xuan planned to eliminate the ostriches with combat effectiveness in the old nest one by one, to draw an end to what happened during this time, but he would keep the young beasts so that they could continue to reproduce and survive, but he didn't expect it to be a different situation, but the result remained the same.

"You mean to make us give up fighting the ostrich?" asked Wang Cuishan, somewhat uncertain.

"Yes, that's what I meant!" Ming Xuan said firmly.

"Then what are we going to do next?" Wang Cuishan continued.

"Get out of the mountains and look at this vast beast territory!" Ming Xuan said in a loud voice.
