Chapter 13

* * * * *
“Ha, where the hell is it?”
Ming Hu sighed and muttered to himself. It was impossible to tell if the Great Fox had gone to earth or disappeared into the sky.
“Ugh.”
But that didn’t stop him from looking for the Great Fox, so he sighed and started walking again. Ming Hu muttered to himself as he watched the foxes roam before him.
“Where is your king?”
Of course, he didn’t say it to hear an answer. Ming Hu extended his fist toward the fox.
Puck!
-Keng…
The fox collapsed, leaving the item behind. Ming Hu looked over at the big fox, who was wandering around beside the fallen fox. After staring at the big fox for a moment, Ming Hu threw a punch at the big fox.
Puck!
-Keng…
The large fox also fell, leaving behind an item.
“Haha, I can’t wait to find it.”
Ming Hu muttered something to himself and began to punch at the foxes, slaughtering them for a while, until he was in a panic as he searched for the Great Fox.
-Crawl…
Dada Dada Dada
“Huh?”
A fox saw him and started to run away quickly. He didn’t even recognize it until it attacked, but something was wrong.
“He’s on to something!
Ming Hu felt it, and he began to chase the fleeing fox.
“Where am I?
As he chased after the fox, Ming Hu looked around and thought. I’ve never been to this place before.
Dada Dada Dada Dada
The fleeing fox soon entered the cave, and Ming Hu had to stop walking at the sound.
-Crack!!!
It wasn’t the sound of a fleeing fox.
“No way?”
Ming Hu swallowed hard and stared at the cave, and then a fox walked out of the cave.
“…?”
When Ming Hu saw the fox, he couldn’t help but shake his head. The fox that came out of the cave was huge. It was certainly not an ordinary fox or a large fox, but it was not as large as a great fox. The fox in front of him was about halfway between a large fox and a great fox.
-Crunch!
The fox that came out of the cave growled at Ming Hu. Ming Hu looked at the fox growling at him and thought, “I’m not going to be able to do this.
“Middle Boss?
Jumbled
Ming Hu walked toward the fox that was supposed to be the middle boss. He had come to fight the Great Fox. There was no way he would be intimidated by a fox that was smaller and weaker than the Great Fox.
“We’ll know when we catch him.
While I can’t compare her to a tiger fox, there is something to be said for that. If it was difficult or overwhelming to catch her, then the big fox would have to wait.
-croak?
The fox cocked its head at the approaching Ming Hu, then swung its forepaws at him with an aggressive glare.
Puck!
Ming Hu didn’t dodge the fox’s front paw, and then checked his shaved health.
‘400?
Considering that his defense had been boosted by 200 points from his Screaming Knuckles, the fox’s attack of 400 shaves was quite strong. Of course, it was no threat to Ming Hu at all. Ming Hu had over 40,000 health.
Jumbled
Ming Hu walked back toward the fox.
-Crack!
Wham!
The fox swung its forepaws once more, looking at Ming Hu, who was coming toward it as if unaffected by the attack. The front paw flew toward Ming Hu at a slightly higher speed than before.
Puck!
‘450’
The first attack had taken a bit more life than the second. Ming Hu looked at the fox and smiled at the loss of health. Then he lightly threw a punch at the fox.
Puck!
-Craw…

“Uh…?”
Ming Hu couldn’t help but panic, it was just a light punch, but the fox fell down.
“…”
He hadn’t expected to be killed by a single blow. Ming Hu stared at the fallen fox for a moment, then picked up the dropped item.
-You have acquired the pelt of the Great Fox.
-You have mastered the Order of the Great Fox.
-You have mastered the claws of the Great Fox.
“…?”
After panicking at the sight of a dead fox in the room, Ming Hu picked up the dropped item and saw the drop message, only to panic again. Ming Hu wondered if he had made a mistake and opened his inventory.
“I must be looking at the wrong thing.”
He wasn’t mistaken: in his inventory, he had the pelt, pelt, and claws of the Great Fox he needed for the quest. Ming Hu opened the quest window to check the quest, just in case these weren’t the items he needed.

But that wasn't it either. Ming Hu stared blankly at the item in his inventory and muttered to himself.
"What is…"
It was definitely bigger than the Big Fox, but smaller than the Great Fox, so I thought it was a medium boss, but it turned out to be the Great Fox.
"Then what the hell is that fox."
So what was that fox you saw, the one you thought was the great fox?
"Huh, let's go."
After pondering the identity of the fox, which was larger than the Great Fox, Ming Hu gave up and started walking toward the village to complete the quest.
Jumbled
"What the heck.
Ming Hu thought as he walked to the village. The fox was much larger and more aggressive than the great fox, so it must be a higher level mob than the great fox.
"Ugh. I don't know. I'll have to look it up.'
Ming Hu eventually shook his head. Deciding to do a search later, Ming Hu opened the character window.

Soon, Ming Hu smiled as he realized his power had risen even higher than before.
"No wonder he died in one shot."
Then he remembered the Great Fox that had killed him earlier. At the time, he wondered why it was a boss mob and died in one hit, but upon reflection, it made sense. His current strength would take him to around level 240, assuming he spent all of his bonus stats on strength.
"And then there's this."
Ming Hu muttered to himself and stared at the cold, screaming knuckles in his hand. It was a boss monster, albeit a boss monster with great strength and a good weapon, but it was a boss monster of the Fox Habitat, a beginner's hunting ground. It was no match for him.
"If the great fox is one, why not the bears?
Suddenly, Ming Hu looked at the cold screaming knuckles and smiled slightly as a thought occurred to him. The great fox was stronger than the bears, which meant that the bears would also be stronger than him, and the bears would be stronger than him, which meant that the hunt would be much easier.
Swoop
Ming Hu smiled. For now, the bear was a very good friend to her, giving her a lot of experience and money.
"Let's get it done and go!"
Ming Hu's spirits were high at the thought of hunting a bear. Before he knew it, he could see the entrance to the village.
