Chapter 755
[The dark elf scout of the Highwind Tribe has been killed.]
[Experience has been acquired.]
“Master dude, the ones I saw before were weak… this guy looks strong,” Tang-E saw the fallen dark elf and told Hyeonu. There were many types of dark elves Tang-E had seen so far.
First was the Black Forest. The dark elves he met in the Black Forest were weak. It wasn’t known if they were even level 50.
The second was in the main scenario. To be precise, those dark elves weren’t pure dark elves. They were chimeras in the form of dark elves, but there was no way Tang-E could know this. They were stronger than the dark elves of the Black Forest, but still weak.
The third time was at the intermediate academy of the Luo Empire, Senu. In the process of clearing Senu, there was a war with the dark elves and Tang-E once again met the dark elves there. However, the dark elves there were also insignificant compared to the dark elf currently in front of them. They were too weak to the point where it felt sorry to make the comparison.
“It is like this. Even if they look the same, some are strong and some are weak. Tang-E, you aren’t the same as your parents even though you are of the same species,” Hyeonu explained to Tang-E in a way that was easy to understand.
Arena was a game. They might be of the same species and looked the same, but the level often changed depending on the setting.
“That’s right. Master dude is stronger than other humans. Tang-E understands.”
Tang-E quickly understood Hyeonu’s explanation. Hyeonu, who was in front of him, was significantly stronger than other human beings.
“By the way… the situation doesn’t look good, Master dude.”
Tang-E was nodding vigorously, only to stop and look around.
“Intruder!”
“Kill him!”
“This is our land!”
“Death to those who invade the territory!”
The dark elves that appeared surrounded Hyeonu and Tang-E. However, Hyeonu didn’t blink at all.
‘They came on their own?’
Rather, he looked as he welcomed it as he saw the dark elves that were surrounding him. There was nothing better than when prey rushed in on their own. He didn’t need to move to kill them. This saved him time.
“Tang-E, buffs,” Hyeonu said while pointing the Mysterious Sky Sword at the dark elf standing in front of him. Just then, a tricolored light from Tang-E’s paw wrapped around Hyeonu’s body.
[You have received Bear’s Momentum.]
[Physique has increased.]
[Strength has increased.]
[You have received the Forest’s Blessing.]
[Defense has increased.]
[Health will continue to recover.]
[You have received Breath of the Wind.]
[Your agility has risen.]
[Your movement speed has increased.]
‘I’ve received the buffs…’
In an instant, a purple blade that was over 10 meters long was seen over the Mysterious Sky Sword. This blade pierced the heart of the dark elf standing in front of Hyeonu.
“Hat!”
A gasp emerged from the dark elf’s mouth. It was an unexpected attack. No dark elf standing here thought that pure energy could be created and lengthened so easily.
[The dark elf searcher of the Highwind Tribe has been killed.]
[Experience has been acquired.]
Hyeonu saw the dark elf’s head fall and lowered the Mysterious Sky Sword before rotating his body. The purple blade started to neatly cut through the air, starting with the body of the dark elf it had stabbed at the same time as he rotated. The dark elves of the Highwind Tribe didn’t stand still this time. It was only at the beginning that they suffered from the unexpected and untimely attack. Their physical abilities weren’t bad enough that they would be unable to respond to a visible attack.
The dark elves swung their weapons. There were two types of weapons—a long sword and dagger. However, each weapon had pure energy so the length was around the same.
‘It isn’t an attack that can’t be blocked.’
“You bunch of experience points.”
Hyeonu scoffed when he looked at the dark elves wielding the weapons to block his attacks. The dark elves noticed the derision on Hyeonu’s face and an expression called doubt appeared in their eyes. This expression became the last expression they made while alive. The purple pure energy cut through the dark elves’ pure energy, cut off their weapons, and eventually cut the dark elves.

“What is so hard about this place?” Hyeonu muttered when he saw the dark elves who had become corpses.
‘They aren’t weak. It is that Master dude is strong.’
Tang-E clicked his tongue as he looked at Hyeonu. No matter how he looked at it, the dark elves weren’t the problem. The problem was that Hyeonu was extremely strong.
“Master dude, let’s hunt and eat.”
It was just that Tang-E couldn’t express these thoughts. Instead, he started hunting with Hyeonu. This way, he would be able to escape from Avon Gorge faster.
“Yes, let’s start with hunting.”
Hyeonu nodded at Tang-E’s words and quickly ran forward. There was no need to pay attention to the footsteps. The storm would cover it anyway.
***
Hyeonu started to break through the gorge and fought once every five minutes. Dark elves appeared approximately every one or two kilometers. Even so, Hyeonu didn’t stop. He just kept running. Then suddenly, Hyeonu stopped running.
‘Now there is a slight slope.’
Hyeonu stopped still and looked at the scenery in front of him. There was no more flat land. A rough, rocky area blocked Hyeonu’s way.
‘The good news is that it isn’t steep.’
There was good luck among the misfortune. The slope wasn’t steep. Instead, it changed over a reasonable distance like a staircase.
“It is far, Master dude. Is this a gorge? Isn’t it a mountain?”
Tang-E sat on Hyeonu’s shoulder and looked up like his neck was broken to observe the view of the gorge. The end of the gorge couldn’t be seen. It seemed like it was touching the sky.
“Don’t say that. I’m already exhausted.”
Hyeonu sighed. This was something he honestly hadn’t thought about. Information on the Avon Gorge was very limited. Most of the videos and texts were limited to the beginning of the canyon.
‘In fact, it is weird to say that it is the beginning. It is just the entrance…’
Few people who came to the Avon Canyon could maintain their normal power. Casualties were often reported from the first battle. This led to a quick abandonment.
“Tang-E.”
“Why are you calling me, Master dude?”
“It doesn’t matter if it is a gorge or a mountain. A gorge doesn’t mean that this slope will disappear. A mountain doesn’t mean it will get steeper.”
“That is true, Master dude. Then we have to hurry and go up. What are you doing?”
Tang-E tapped Hyeonu’s head. In any case, it was Hyeonu, not him, who would be moving. Tang-E was just asking Hyeonu to take care of him.
“Yes, let’s go. Go.”
Hyeonu tried to erase the anxiety blossoming in a corner of his heart and started moving again.
***
They climbed the gorge and the number of dark elves blocking Hyeonu increased significantly. Their level of stealth and ambush also started to increase. There was definitely nothing in front of him but the dark elves appeared frequently.
“Master dude, my heart is beating quickly.”
Tang-E raised his paws and placed them on his chest. His heart was beating like crazy.
“Isn’t it because you feel good? I don’t think it is because you are surprised,” Hyeonu responded with a casual face even when he saw Tang-E look like this.
“Aren’t you worried about me?”
Tang-E made a sad expression. Hyeonu’s attitude was too cold.
“Your eyes turned upside down when you saw this meat. What worry?”
Hyeonu half turned the pork, which was being grilled well. Hyeonu and Tang-E had dug at a corner of Avon Gorge and built a cave. They entered the cave and blocked the entrance, perfectly disconnecting it from the outside. The wind might be hard occasionally, but it was an enclosed space and safe zone where the wind didn’t blow.
“Additionally, why are you surprised, surprised? You just turned them into ashes.”
Hyeonu thought that even if he was surprised a few times, the dark elves would be the ones surprised rather than Tang-E. Tang-E often said it felt strange and cast magic into the air. There were always the bodies of dark elves when this happened.
“It isn’t like you’ve seen a dead body only once or twice. Just forget about it. The thing in front of you now isn’t a dark elf but meat, meat. Barbecue cooked with special spices.”
Hyeonu gently stroked Tang-E’s head and turned the stick with meat on it again.
“Still… it is so weird here, Master dude. It is noisy but quiet.”
Perhaps Hyeonu’s comfort that wasn’t comfort worked. Tang-E relaxed his expression and focused his attention on the meat that was being cooked.
“Hold on for a few more days, Tang-E. Sooner or later, we will go back to visit your friend and go to Bung Bung Island.”
Hyeonu stroked Tang-E’s head again. They weren’t empty words, but a list of things to be done. Once he reached level 400 and finished the fifth class advancement…
He had to find Raccoon again to hear information about the divine world. He was even thinking about finding Hugo in case Raccoon’s information was poor.
‘I have to prepare for the worst in advance.’
In fact, it was a plan that was made because his trust in Raccoon wasn’t that great.
“I understand… Tang-E will endure it a bit more.”
Tang-E nodded and extended his paw toward the meat Hyeonu was grilling.
Tap!
Hyeonu swung his hand and slapped Tang-E’s paw.
“DIdn’t I say to endure it? Endure it a bit more.”
There wasn’t only one thing that Tang-E had to endure.

[Alley Leader, challenging the worst hunting ground in the East Continent.]
Hyeonu eventually used the hunt in Avon Gorge as streaming material. It was because he had nothing special to broadcast. Additionally, one of the reasons he came to Avon Gorge in the first place was to livestream.
-Challenging the worst hunting ground?
-By the way, why is the background so dark?
-Is it a cave?
-Is there a hunting ground with a cave background? Is this the cave of Mount Gennon?
Viewers speculated on what the worst hunting ground was based on the terrain behind Hyeonu.
“It isn’t a cave of Mount Gennon. That place’s level is a bit low for me to hunt there.”
The cave of Mount Gennon wasn’t a suitable place for Hyeonu to hunt. It was a suitable field for the mid-300s.
-Then where is it?
-Is it new?
-I don’t know a place like this.
The viewers’ messages plunged into a labyrinth after Hyeonu said it wasn’t the cave of Mount Gennon. To be honest, it would be weirder if they got it right. Who would’ve thought Hyeonu would dig a cave and stream?
Hyeonu answered the viewers’ questions with actions instead of words. He approached the entrance of the cave and kicked a stone wall. There was an intense wind that blew the moment the stone wall collapsed. Hyeonu stood with his back to the wind and spoke to the viewers.
“This is Avon Gorge. The place I am hunting today is the dark elf village at the top of Avon Gorge.”
After he finished speaking, Hyeonu rushed out of the cave.
