“10 sheets already…”
Ming Hu smiled wryly at the pelt of the Great Fox in his inventory. He opened his character window, invested all of his bonus stats in Strength, and left the clearing.

“It’s going up really fast.”
Ming Hu muttered to himself as he looked at his level, which had now reached 40. Then, having invested all of his bonus stats in strength, he closed the character window and looked around. There were three dead Great Foxes all around him.
-You have acquired the pelt of the Great Fox.
-You have mastered the claws of the Great Fox.
-You have acquired the pelt of the Great Fox.
-You have obtained the Claw Key.
-You have acquired the pelt of the Great Fox.
-You have mastered the claws of the Great Fox.
Ming Hu walked around and picked up the dropped items, then opened his inventory.
“Chapter 17… How Much.”
I had 17 pelts of the Great Fox in my inventory. Of course, 17 wasn’t a lot, but considering the price, it was a lot.
“How many sheets do I have to collect?”
Besides, Chapter 17 wasn’t the end; there were still plenty of places for items in his inventory, and Ming Hu had no intention of turning back now.
Jumbled
Ming Hu soon began to move away from the clearing and began to make his way through the bush, until he heard a sound that made him stop in his tracks.
-Chew!
“…Huh?”
The sound was familiar. He’d heard it before, somewhere. It wasn’t the great fox. Ming Hu turned his head toward the source.
-Khhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!
The roar came once more. Ming Hu realized the moment he heard the roar.
Dakdakdak
Ming Hu quickly ran through the bushes in the direction of the sound.
“…It’s him!
It was sure. The familiar roar was the same fox he knew to be the Great Fox, the fox that had been chasing him like crazy.
“And he?
There was a Great Fox, a Monstrous Fox, and a Gummiho, a boss monster. This one wasn’t a Great Fox, which means it was either a Monster Fox or a Gummiho, a boss monster.
-Chew!
Running toward the source of the roar, Ming Hu stopped in his tracks at the sound.
Jumbled
Footsteps came from the other side of the bush. Ming Hu swallowed hard and stared at the bush, then slowly reached out and pushed his way through it.
“…!”
Ming Hu walked through the bushes and out into the clearing, where he found the source of the roar. It was the same fox he knew to be the great fox that had been chasing him so frantically.
“Monster fox…
And the moment Ming Hu spotted it, he knew it was a monster fox, not a gumiho, for no particular reason.
-Khee hee hee hee hee?
-Chew!
“One, two…”
If it were a boss monster, there would only be one Gumiho, but there were several monster foxes here, not one alone.
“Five…”
After confirming their numbers, Ming Hu swallowed his saliva once more and smiled at the monster foxes as they slowly focused their gaze on him.
Boom! Swoosh! Dada dada dada dada!
It quickly turned around and started running away through the bushes. If I hadn’t been through the battle with the four great foxes, I would have pounced on the monster, but now that I had, I had no intention of doing so.
“If you have five…”
The four Great Foxes also had some great combos, but if you were to get hit by a monster fox that was overwhelmingly stronger than the Great Foxes and outnumbered you, you were going to take an unimaginable amount of health, or worse, die.
-Chew!
A roar came from behind him. Hearing the roar, Ming Hu sped up his pace and fled. As he fled, he shook his head at the fainter and fainter roar, and when he could hear no pursuit, he stopped running and turned around.
“…phew”
Looking out over the serene landscape, Ming Hu breathed a sigh of relief.
“I’d have to catch it, but not in an open field…”
The monster fox had to be caught, but it was quite daunting to catch it in an open field where there were usually more than one.
“It would be nice to catch him on the prowl.”
That was the moment.
Sigh
Ming Hu stopped talking at the sound and turned his head, swallowing hard.
-khee hee hee?
He spotted the monster fox peeking out of the bushes and stared at it in disbelief.
-Chew!
The monster fox roared at Ming Hu. Ming Hu slowly began to smile at the monster fox’s roar.
“I’ve been looking for it!”
Ming Hu was determined to find the monster fox wandering alone in the bush. Seeing the monster fox appear as soon as he spoke, Ming Hu slowly approached it.
-Chew!
When it saw Ming Hu coming toward it, the monster fox roared and began to run toward him, its speed far out of all proportion to that of the great fox.
Boom! Puck!
‘3200?
When the monster fox’s forepaws slashed out and Ming Hu checked its vitals, he couldn’t help but be a little puzzled, as the damage it had done was nothing compared to the monster fox he had encountered in the Fox Habitat.
Puck! Puck!
While Ming Hu was puzzled, the monster fox swung its front paws one after another. Thinking of the monster fox he had met before, Ming Hu could not help but be struck by one paw after another.
‘6000!
Seeing the amount of life that had been sliced off his front paws, Ming Hu stumbled backwards and swallowed hard. He’d barely begun the battle and already lost so much health.
-Chew!
The monster fox roared at Ming Hu, who fell backward. Then it lunged at Ming Hu again, swinging its front paws at him. Ming Hu threw a punch at the charging monster fox.
Puck! Puck!
The monster fox’s forepaws slammed into Ming Hu, and Ming Hu’s fists slammed into the monster fox.
-Chew!
Unlike the Great Fox, the Monstrous Fox did not die in one fell swoop. It quickly drew back and glared at Ming Hu with a roar of pain.
‘That’s 3500, and that’s not even a shot.
Ming Hu swallowed hard when he saw the monster fox glaring at him. Although he had expected it, he couldn’t help but feel nervous that it wouldn’t kill him in one hit.
-Chew!
The monster fox roared and began to run toward Ming Hu. Ming Hu threw another punch.
Whistle! Swoosh!
The moment Ming Hu threw his fist, the monster fox turned and swung its tail. Ming Hu could only stare at his fist, which didn’t reach the monster fox, and then at the tail flying toward him.
Puck!
[Stunned for 2 seconds].
The monster fox’s tail slammed into Ming Hu’s face, and he swallowed hard at the message that popped up. Two seconds may seem like a short time, but in a way, it was a long time.
Puck, puck, puck, puck, puck!
Perhaps realizing that Ming Hu had been stunned, the great fox swung its front paws one after another. Ming Hu was helpless to resist as the paws flew at him, and within two seconds, he was on his feet and swinging his fist at the monster fox.
Boom!
But the monster fox fell backward, and Ming Hu’s fist sliced through the air. Ming Hu fell backward and saw the monster fox glaring at him again, checking his shaved health.
‘17000.’
After checking his health, Ming Hu could only swallow hard; it hadn’t been that long since the battle had begun, and he had already lost 30% of his health.
-Chew!
“Isn’t this going to kill me?
Ming Hu thought as he watched the monster fox roar toward him. I don’t know how much life it has left. He didn’t know how many more blows he had to give it before it fell, and the sight of its dwindling life force made him think that he might die.
“Please!”
Ming Hu charged at the monstrous fox that had gotten within striking distance.
Whistle! Swoosh!
Seeing Ming Hu running toward him, the monster fox turned and swung his tail. Ming Hu saw the tail flying toward him and quickly rolled forward to dodge it. The tail sliced through the air, and Ming Hu rose to his feet and punched the monster fox in the back.
Puck!
-K…Hung!
Shake!

When the monster fox collapsed, Ming Hu looked at it and breathed a sigh of relief. He was speechless at the huge level-up message that appeared in front of him.
“…how much experience did they give you?”
Ming Hu muttered to himself as he saw the fallen monster fox and immediately began picking up the dropped items.
-You have acquired the hide of a monstrous fox.
-You have mastered the Steel Tail of the Monstrous Fox.
“Huh?”
Ming Hu stopped picking up the dropped item and looked at it in surprise.
