Chapter 8

“…”
Ming Hu swallowed hard and looked at the Great Fox. The great fox looked at Ming Hu and then simply paced around.
“…can we catch it”
I thought I was going to catch it, but when I saw it, I didn’t think so. The great fox’s size, bigger than a bear, was enough to intimidate Ming Hu.
“Tougher than a bear, right?”
While the bear is overwhelmingly stronger than the fox, the great fox is a boss monster, and it’s not likely that a great fox would be weaker than a bear, given its class and size.
“…”
Ming Hu pondered for a moment. Should he attempt the hunt, or should he stop by the village and come back for more complete preparations?
“…let’s try”
After a short deliberation, Ming Hu decided to go hunting after all. He knew he would have a better chance of catching it if he stopped by the village to prepare, but he had a feeling that it would take quite a bit of time to find the big fox if he didn’t take this opportunity now.
“So what if I die. I’ll be ready.”
I realized that if I was going to die this time, I’d just have to be prepared and they’d come back for me.
Jumbled
Ming Hu slowly began to walk toward the Great Fox.
“Whoa.”
Arriving in front of the Great Fox, Myung-Hoon cleared his throat and calmed his nerves, then swallowed hard and gritted his teeth.
“Let’s get started!
Scoop!
-…
“…”
With a swift swing of his sword, Ming Hu gouged a gash into the Great Fox’s side, and paused for a moment as he saw the Great Fox turn his head and stare at him with a blank stare without a sound of pain.
Sigh
-Khhhhhhhhhhh!
Ming Hu involuntarily took a step backward as the great fox turned and roared.
“…”
Ming Hu couldn’t say anything. Any thoughts of catching it had already flown away with a roar.
‘… I don’t think I can tempo it…’
He had only seen one attack and heard one roar, but Ming Hu thought he shouldn’t have come prepared.
-Crunch!
Puck!
And when Ming Hu was struck by a flying fox’s paw, it was clear that he was right.
‘… Two thousand for a single attack!’
It only took one attack to knock him down to nearly 2,000 health, which means that even with his health, he’s only good for three hits.
Dodak
Ming Hu quickly closed the distance between him and the Great Fox.
-…
The Great Fox was still staring at Ming Hu with an impassive gaze. Ming Hu swallowed hard at the sight of the great fox.
Jumbled
And then he started walking away.
-Craig
The Great Fox frowned in displeasure at the sight of Ming Hu and made a noise, then stepped forward toward him.
That was the moment.
Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh!
Ming Hu turned around and began to sprint the moment the Great Fox took a step.
-…khhhhhhhhh!
The Great Fox paused for a moment, not expecting such behavior from Ming, then roared and began to chase after him.
* * * * *
Dada Dada Dada
Ming Hu ran and ran and ran. The Great Fox was still chasing after him.
“Stop chasing me, asshole!”
-Khhhhhhhhhh!
Ming Hu frowned and shouted, but the roar of the great fox told him he could not, and he gritted his teeth and fled.
“What’s with that look!
Ming Hu couldn’t understand the great fox’s indifferent gaze as it chased him to his death. The incongruity between his indifferent gaze and the deadly pursuit of the great fox was too much.
“It’s not even a habitat!
When he first fled, Ming Hu thought he would only have to leave the fox’s territory, but the great fox continued to pursue him even after he left the fox’s territory, and he headed for the wolf’s territory, thinking that if he entered the other animals’ territory, it would stop.
But even after entering the wolves’ territory, the tiger fox didn’t stop chasing. The chase continued until they reached the wolves’ territory and entered the depths of the wolves’ territory.
“The wolf pups are scared of the fox!
Ming Hu frowned again as he watched the wolves slowly disappear into the distance. When Ming Hu first arrived at the wolf habitat, he remembered that wolves were pre-emptive and was slightly worried. However, when he thought of the great fox that was following him, he realized that he shouldn’t worry, but rather hope that they would swarm. The idea was that they would be able to distract the great fox.
-Ang!!
-Awwwwww!
As expected, Ming Hu’s running attracted the attention of many wolves, and they came toward him. Ming Hu smiled at the wolves. Now he could distract the great fox.
But the wolves soon realized that the great fox was after them, so they stopped in their tracks and disappeared into the distance. This situation has been repeated over and over again until now.
“Should I die?
It looked like they would chase him to his death. Ming Hu seriously considered whether he should waste his time and just die. That’s when it happened.
-Uh-oh!!!
A wolf three to four times as large as a normal wolf spotted him and ran toward him, screaming. Ming Hu had a small glimmer of hope when he saw the wolf, which was much larger than any wolf he had ever seen before.
-…
But the wolf soon realized that the Great Fox was following him, and he stopped and hesitated, just like every other wolf he had ever seen. Ming Hu let out a small sigh at the sight of such a wolf. The big wolf didn’t seem to be able to do much.
-Ah…ugh!!!
However, Ming Hu soon realized that he was wrong when he saw a wolf howling and running toward him. At the sight of the wolf, Ming Hu’s frown lifted and he smiled.
-Khhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!
-Aw…
But soon, Ming Hu had to frown again. The roar of the great fox caused a large wolf that had been running toward him to stop in its tracks with a startled yelp.
“Oh, no, no, don’t do that!
Ming Hu saw the wolf stop in his tracks and called out to it in his mind. But the wolf didn’t hear Ming Hu’s shout and began to walk back the way he had come.
“…”
Ming Hu was speechless at the sight of the wolf. He just ran, watching the wolf’s lonely backside.
“…Let’s just open it.
After running for a while, Ming Hu stopped, thinking that he would be killed by the Great Fox.
-khee hee hee?
When Ming Hu stopped walking and looked back, the Great Fox also stopped walking and shook his head.
“You win, you fox!”
Ming Hu shouted at the great fox, and as if it understood him, the great fox crouched down and assumed an attacking stance, its indifferent eyes slowly turning aggressive.
“…?”
Ming Hu thought something was wrong as he watched the Great Fox’s eyes slowly change; they had been nonchalant when it had attacked him, even when it had wounded him in the side, and he couldn’t understand how they could be so aggressive now.
That was the moment.
-Craig
I heard a wolf howl behind me.
-croak
Ming Hu slowly turned his head, wondering if he had misheard, but the wolf howl came again. It must be a wolf, but he wondered what kind of wolf was making the noise in front of the great fox.
“…”
Ming Hu was speechless as he recognized the source of the cries. Behind Ming Hu, a wolf stood majestically. This was no ordinary wolf; it was much larger than the big wolf that had left, almost the size of a great fox.
“…huh?
As he gazed at the wolf, Ming Hu saw its paws fly toward him, and he realized that he would soon be flying.
Puck!
Ming Hu flew through the sky and checked his vitality.
‘…2500?’
More of his life force had been drained from him than when he had been struck by the Great Fox. Ming Hu watched the two beasts snarl at each other, not caring that he was flying.
-Chew!
-Crunch!
“What is it.
Ming Hu fell to the ground and stood up, looking at the two bickering beasts, wondering what the hell had happened and what he should do.
“Bounce!
But before he could think about it, Ming Hu quickly gathered his thoughts and began to back away toward the dense forest behind him.
Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh!
Once inside the dense forest, Ming Hu quickly turned around and started running, never looking back.
“…Ha.”
As Ming Hu ran through the forest, he breathed a sigh of relief that he had escaped the Great Fox. Then he saw a light in the distance and thought to himself, “Let’s get back to the village.
“Let’s go!”
With that, Ming Hu ran out of the forest. Then his face, which had been smiling broadly, quickly turned grim.
“…”
Whirring
Ming Hu felt the soles of his feet hollow, and slowly lowered his head. No, he tried to lower it. If it weren’t for his own body slowly sinking downward, he would have surely looked up to see what the emptiness was. Ming Hu didn’t dare to look down, so he just opened his mouth to cry out.
“Aaaaaaaaaaah!”
Ming Hu’s body began to sink down the cliff.
