Armageddon: Defying Fate

Picking Herbs At The 4000 Meters Mark

Kiran and his team had been hunting in the 4000 meter mark now for about, an hour, after killing the panther, they had met with a couple of evolved monster and they had successfully killed them.

They had gotten used to the 4000 meters mark, that they were no longer as tense as they had been when they entered, with their impeccable team effort, they only found it on a bit of a hassle to kill junior evolution monsters.

Though since they entered they had only sighted evolved monsters in the 1st level of basic evilution, they have been eager to find a beast in the 2nd level of basic evolution and ahead, so they could test their strength, it has been because that had only roam the beginning range of the 4000 meters mark.

Sam had wanted them to go deeper, but Kiran had objected, he needed plants for evolutionary liquid, and the plants found in the 4000 meters mark, had more quality than the lower ranges, Kiran promised both Sam and Airra evolutionary liquid before they agreed and started searching together with him, though it would normally be hard for them to detect the real plants, with kiran they didnt have to worry about that.

After Sam had heRd evolutionary liquid was involved, he became like a season farmer harvesting any plants he saw on the way before taking it to Kiran for verification if it was a can't that could be used for evolutionary liquid.

At first Kiran was glad as he saw, so much energy Sam had out into helping him find the herbs, but later became tired after sniffing the countless if herbs Sam had brought.

"Sam not every weed you see out there is an herb"

"Well this seriously looks like an herb to me"

" that's exactly what you said for the countless herb you had brought before"

Airra was laid back as she watched Kiran and Sam argue over and over again.

Even though it was known that a lot of evolutional liquid, existed In the the the range after the 3000 meters mark, Kiran and his friends had not managed to find a lot, especially the most potent ones used in making the evolution liquid.

After going on for about an hours, Kiran finally decided on a plan, he wanted them to go a bit depoer in to the 4000 meters mark, the entirety of their movement since they entered the 4000 meters mark was within the first 300 meters into the 4000 meters mark, they had decided to stay within this range, because it was safer for them here.

Up till now they had only met evolved monsters in the 1st level of junior evolution realm, going deeper meant they would find evolved monsters with higher strength.

Sam hesitated after hearing that,the wanted evolutionary liquid, but really wasn't ready to sacrifice his life for it, Airra trusted Kiran, she knew he was someone that would always have a plan for whatever he wanted to do.

"am sure you have a plan for how we would survive after going deeper right"

Kiran shook his head, acknowledging what she said.

Sam was surprised, Which kind of plan could Kiran come up with, that would decrease their percentage of dying if they went deeper.

"Tell us your plan, and we all decide after that"

Kiran went on and explained his entire plan to both of them, Sam was sureounded after hearing what Kiran's plan was, it was a dangerous plan but Kiran himself would be the one in most of the danger.

And so they all decided to go deeper into the forest, going with Kiran's plan.

They all stealthily moved not making a single sound, until they were in the the region 500 meters into the 4000 meters mark, they had met, stronger evolved monsters on the way, which looked like monsters in the 2nd level of junior evolution realm.

But they had tactfully evaded the monsters, the evolved monsters were too close to each other, and trying to kill one would only rouse the others to come after you.

The moved until they were far away from any creature in a ravine that was well hidden, by thick trees with wide branches.

"I think this would be the perfect place"

All this was part of Kiran's plan, Kiran's plan was to lure evolved monsters from their nests, into a secluded place where they could be killed without alarming the other monsters.

After that then Kiran would go back to the monsters best, and take whatever herbs could be found there, this would give them a two in one profit, they would get points for Killing the monsters, and would also get materials from the monsters body and also it's best for making evolutionary liquid.

"Which evolved monster are you going attack first"

On their way they had seen and noted down the location of a lot of the evolved monster they had seen,

They went over all the monster and finally decided to attack the giant lizard, they has chosen this evolved monsters because, unlike the other wvilvd monster, it did not have sharp claws and also was not good at speed unlike some of the evolved monsters..

Kitan was the one who would go and lure the lizard from its nest to this ravine where they would be an ambush waiting for in the ravine.

Kiran made his way stealthily towards the lizards neat, he used shirt blink throughout his journey, so he was able to cover the entire distance between the ravine and the lizards neat within a minute undetected.

The lizards nest, was located in a rocky area of the forest, It's best was a cave located at the inner part of the rocky forest, because of rocks surrounding the area, lesser trees were located there, so anything or anything moving towards the cave, would be seen, before they reached it.

Immediately Kiran approached the cave, he he felt eyes starting at him, the lizard was already aware of his presence, Kiran had anticipated this so he was not bothered about it.

The lizard did not make a sound, but just kept starting at Kiran.

Kiran had expected it to attack but, it just kept starting back at him, so he decided to move closer to the cave, the evolved monster was a 2nd level junior evolution monster, so Kiran was very careful with all his moves, he had already redied elemental energy in his legs preparing to activate blink, at the moment the lizard attacks.

As Kiran moved closer towards it's cave, the lizard did nothing but just stare at him.

This was frustrating, he didn't want to come too close to the lizard where he might get caught in an attack he might not be able to defend against.

The moment he was about a some meters near the cave, he finally felt a string oppressive aura coming from the cave, and enveloping his body, the auro was so to g that it had dispersed the elemental energy he had put on his legs.

Immediately the lizard attacked, it's swiped it hands towards kiran which looked like paw, the strength coming from that punch was already enough to injure Kiran, he was only able to dodge at the last second, but his clothes has been torn from the side.

He quickly activated his elemental energy, making a short blink, bringing himself always from the cave.

The lizard was surprised as it saw its attack had dodged, it had not expected the would be able to do that.

The lizard walked out of it's cave, Kiran was finally able to see how it looked like, the lizard bad a thin stream like body, with webed paws in it's limbs, and a straight tail, which looked like a whip.

The lizard didn't waste anymore time before it attached again, this time Kiran was ready so he was able to dodge the attack one again. The lizard have several attacks but Kiran was able to dodge everything.

Kiran was surprised after the flurry of attacks made by the lizard, though the lizard was not fast, it hard inpecable agility, with it's agility it was able to find quick ways to attack kiran, kiran had to pour all his elemental energy into his legs do avoid the attacks.

As Kiran dodged he always drew the battle away from the nest and towards the direction of the ravine, as their battle see farther and farther away fro the nest the lizard stopped attacking when their battle reached the edges if the stone forest, it ignored Kiran and started making it way towards it's best.

This surprised Kitan, his aim was to draw the monster toward the ravine, but be had failed in his very first attempt.

But he was reluctant to give up, moved closer initiating his own attack towards the lizard, the lizard parried his attacks, but was still not moving outside the stone forest.

"What am I going to do to lure this stupid lizard" Kiran thought as he saw the lizards detreating back.

Kiran finally thought of a good idea, he wanted to enrage the lizard, so much that it would follow him where ever he went.

He brought out his sword and pushed some of his elemental energy towards the sword, Aurora light flames cane covering the entire sword,.

The lizard turned back, to look at Kiran when it felt the sudden rush of elemental energy by Kiran, but after seeing what it was, it lost interest, and started making it way back to it's nest once again.

Kirab activated full blink in other to catch the lizard off guard, he disappeared from his initial position and then, appeared beside the lizard, the Lizard was shocked after sensing Kiran next to it.

Kiran made a strike with his sword toward the tail of the lizard, the attack was unexpected and the lizard was too late to evade before Kiran's sword made contact with it's tail, severing it into two..

The lizard went crazy after seeing what happened to it's tail, now it regretted not Killing Kiran, before.

Kiran was prepared so he easily blinked away after his attack, but the mad lizard followed him, immediately after that.

This time Kiran was able to drag it out of the stone forest, and then towards the ravine.

And so Kiran began been chased by the lizard, which wanted noting more than to kill Kiran in the most brutal way possible.

Few minutes into their chase, they finally reached the ravine, Kiran blew a whistle As a signal, Sam and Airra who had already grown tire of waiting, quickly stood up, and prepared their ambush.

Just like they had rehearsed, immediately the lizard, entered the ravine it was first met by Airta starfall, which unlike the 1st level junior evolution monster they had fought, it only managed to slow the lizard down, and wasn't successful in completely stopping it movement.

Kiran turned back after the monsters speed had dropped and it no longer had it agility like it once did, he started sending barrage if attacks towards the lizard, SM who was at his back, made some spears, out of his elemental energy and also started attacking the monsters, several seconds went by and the lizard was covered in wounds all over it's body.

But the attacks had not stopped, Kiran and Zam kept on attacking until the Monster finally died,.

"Damm that was tiring" Sam said after, finally witnessing the monsters death, he had almost used up all his energy while attacking the monster, if the monster had not side, he would have stopped to recover before continuing.

He looked back at Kiran, and there wasn't even a sign of sweat on his face.

"Damm freak"

Airra was once again drained of energy after using the Star fall, but she had gain something else this time around, she had managed to strengthen the technique this time when she used it.

Kiran was the only one, who had not used much of his energy so he went back to the monsters nest to check which herbs were there.

As Kiran entereddvthe cave, the first thing he saw were eggs,

"This is probably the monsters eggs, no wonder it did not want to follow me outside the stine forest"

Kiran picked up the eggs, and then started searching for herbs, he was able to find 10 herbs inside the nest, and 3 at the edges of the cave.

"Evolved monsters cave was really the beat place to go search for hebs" he thought, they had searched for almost an hours only finding 3 herbs, but now they had found 13 herbs from an evolved monsters cave, Kiran made his way back to the ravine informing the team about his findings, they were all happy after finding out how much herbs they were able to get from the nest.

After resting, they enacted Kiran's plan once again luring evolved monster after evolved monster until they killed all the evolved monsters they had marked, the had gotten more than 200 herbs from killing the monsters, together with the points they made, this hunting had been a huge success.
