Even though the snake monster was tired, it didn't lose the vigilance. The anger that consumed it didn't vanish. The monster needed to vent the anger somewhere and it started to rampage. Zion was looking for an opportunity to make a move. He didn't had a weapon to pierce through the snake monster's flesh and make a decisive strike. He looked at the monster with a complicated look and sighed at his inability to take down the snake monster.

Zion looked around, it was now he thought about the tooth of alpha wolf. This tooth was sharp and already proved its worth. He looked at the snake monster and saw the deep mark alpha wolf was able to make on the neck. He moved towards the alpha wolf silently. He didn't want to grab the unnecessary attention from the snake monster. Zion started to pluck the sharp tooth of alpha wolf and decided to take another one to dual wield.

The snake monster still didn't found Zion who was silently moving towards it. It was frustrating for the snake monster that the energy crystal which helped it raise the strength just vanished. It was not the energy crystal that mutated the snake, but the strong energy that released by the planet. This strong energy not only mutated the animals but also the plants. The beasts consumed animals and plants alike for their evolution. They should have sensed this with their instinct and started to consume the rare natural products without a care.

Zion knew where the heart of snake monster was and located the position with extreme accuracy. After all, he has already stabbed a sharp bone fragment inside its heart. It should be killing this monster inch by inch.

It was a golden chance for Zion to take down the snake monster as it was still in the pain from all over the body from the injuries. Zion knew that the snake monster was not after him, but the anger has blinded it. He knew that there was only a single chance to get that monster drop down. Even in this precarious situation the snake monster was vigilant and it was difficult to reach it.

Zion run towards the snake monster and stabbed the tooth at its heart with his full force. The skin was pierced and and it passed through the heart, but the snake monster didn't drop down as it was full of vitality. It was now did the snake monster paid attention to Zion who was still holding the tooth of the alpha wolf. Zion still had much energy even after the death blow he has given the snake, he did spent a huge amount of energy to give a momentum to that puncture.

Zion was not disappointed over the survival of the snake monster, he climbed on top of the monster. He ran towards the top of the head of the snake monster. Zion took the second tooth and stabbed it. The tooth passed through the skull and gone deep enough. A loud shrieking roar could be heard across the forest as the snake monster painfully slammed itself to the ground.

Even though Zion only attacked the snake monster few times, the sharpness and accuracy of the attack dealt a severe blow to the snake monster and let it be in a painful situation. Zion knew that the snake monster would fall down in a few minutes. He didn't dare to jump down from the monster. After all, the snake monster was sensitive about his smell and it would be difficult to run away once he get caught. He patiently waited on top of the snake monster for perfect opportunity.

At last the snake was put down to the death by the multiple injuries on the heart and brain. The internal organs of the monster was in a mess and the huge pile of flesh just landed on the surface. Zion jumped off from the head of snake monster and looked around to see the dead bodies of monsters. Zion didn't hesitate and started to procure the heart and other valuable internal organs from the body of monsters.

Zion knew that he couldn't carry off this large amount of flesh and blood. Therefore, he just took the organs as he searched for something specific. He got a shining crystal ball which could be covered inside his fist perfectly. This crystal was producing energy and Zion knew this was not a crystal. This was the monster core, it was inside this core that the monsters stored energy and refined them. The process was similar to the humans, as they had organs instead of cores to do the functions.

The monster core was the root of the strength of the monster. Once it was cracked or damaged, the future potential of that monster would be harmed as well. The monster core was also an alternative to the energy that the planet released, but it was not a long term source of energy. Zion knew in this barren land which was still on the path of transformation, monsters would be a significant source for energy.

Zion knew that the deep mountains was dangerous and he shouldn't be carelessly wandering on the forest. The main reason Zion was in a hurry to collect the rare parts was due to his fear of unknown. Even if he could fight off monsters, it was not profitable. He determined to bring a force to take a look inside this forest later.

Zion took his communicator and contacted Blake to come over with trucks and trust worthy people. He decided to give Blake the job to collect the remains of monsters as he watched over the site for any other monsters. He knew that what he explored was only the outer layer of the forest. Even though he thought it was deep forest, he didn't find any other animals. 'There is something else attracting their attention' Zion thought, but he wasn't impulsive as he was before.

He knew that his strength was weak and one must take into consideration all the factors for the gain. Perhaps the next time when Zion come to this forest, the result might be much different.

As he waited for Blake, he saw a large group was coming at his direction. Zion has already let Blake get his co-ordinates, it took them a long time to get here, but Zion wasn't angry. He was willing to wait for a day, but not longer. After all, he had to manage an expo in the coming days. He hoped they finished the prototype and calibrating the equipment.

Zion left the forest in a gypsy after getting into newly fresh clothes. He made Blake bring some basic stuff to clean himself and get freshen. Blake was not willing to come over with Zion, as he was needed with the workers to manage the remains of snake monster. This remains had a great value towards scientific research and they decided to store away the remains inside the storehouse for the time being.

When the catastrophe arrived everyone was in a race to domination. The dictators risen and fallen in a daily basis. They didn't survive, also didn't find any value in meek and useless scientists who only consumed resources that could have produced warriors for their clan. They were casted away quickly by the society quickly as shedding their clothes for a new one. Zion was not willing to let that happen and going to get them under his thumb.

As the thoughts of Zion wandered off the gypsy reached the city. The gypsy indeed grabbed the unwanted attention for being an unique vehicle on the road. With the robust built and heavy noise, this off road machine was a marvelous eye sight. Zion didn't took the look from the crowd seriously and sighed with emotion 'I'm back at last'. He truly enjoyed this liveliness which would be destroyed in a matter of seconds once the disaster striked. The gypsy moved slowly getting the appreciation from the onlookers.
