Zi Zen stay at tree until he feel safe to come out. "I don't know that snow rabbit was that scary nor the crystal inside the head. I guess I have to find it from the rabbit earlier I kill.
Zi Zen go back to the place where he bury the remain and take it out. He open the head and find a crystal exactly same as he seen just now.
"I wonder what this use for?" Well just keep first and eventually I will figure it out later.
*Rustle*
Zi Zen heard something moving in the bush, he immediately hide behind the tree. A bear walk out of the bush and walking slowly toward the tree Zi Zen in.
"Why my luck so bad today?" Zi Zen think in his heart. Just as the bear almost reach the tree, it stop and turn around.
It look at the bush it just walk out. A boar charge out heading toward the bear. The bear doesn't avoid but instead stand up and ready it stance to block the boar. The boar hit the bear but it stop after being push back a bit. Then, bear use it claw to scratch the boar. The boar move backward to dodge and put some distance between them.
It stand there doing nothing but looking at the bear. Wait no, it bodyand head is slowly cover with ice forming a ice armor. On the other hand, the bear also have ice covering his arm, paws and claw.
At the nearby tree, Zi Zen think in his heart, "Wow, if I no mistaken. The animal here know how to use magic. Although only simple ice magic I see until now, making ice cone and shot, make ice armor and ice claw. There must be more powerful magic and beast out there. I wonder the M4A1 bullet can pierce through them?"
While forming their respective armor and weapon, they stare at each other like the cowboy readying their gun in the wild west. A icicle drop the nearby tree to the ground signaling the start of battle. The boar and the bear charge to each. The boar pickup the speed and headbutt the bear. The bear stop the boar charge with its hand. It then swing it claw on the boar, 'ching' the boar ice armor deflect the claw. The bear doesn't let up, it then punch the boar. One hit, two hit, crack start to show at the boar armor. The boar struggle to get away from the bear but the bear claw hold the boar tightly. 'Pom' The armor broke through and the boar flung back. Hitting on a tree, it spit some blood out of it mouth.
The boar get up and start to build it ice armor again. But the bear doesn't give it chance to do so. It swing it claw and cut down a tree. It then grab and throw the tree toward the boar. The boar avoid the tree before it hit.
Unfortunately, the tree is heading toward a specific tree. The tree Zi Zen is currently hiding.
"Wahhh, I almost die. Oppss."
Zi Zen narrowly avoid the tree to tree impact and manage to keep his tiny life. But then both the boar and the bear looking at him.
"Is this what they call 'Get out of the frying oil and into the fire'?
Zi Zen ready his bone knife only while still keeping his gun in the bag.
"I should try to fight with my knife first instead of keep rely of the M4A1, as it will be a bad habit to rely on gun only to solve the problem and second, the bullet I have is limited.
The boar charge to Zi Zen.
"First, observe the path it using and then avoid at few second before last moment."
'Bam' The boar hit the tree.
Few second is needed for the boar before it can react and this is the best time to strike. Zi Zen stab into the ice armor but it reflect off. It too slippery and smooth. No wonder the claw cannot scratch it.
"This cannot be, does this thing have any weakness? Let see. Ah Ha, its eye should not be covered completely or it can't see." Zi Zen look at the boar head and it sharp horn pointing outward.
"...How I can strike the eye without hurting myself? No way, time for plan B"
Zi Zen move around the boar armor and spot something hanging and look defenseless. Not covered by the armor. Well the thing is male weak point, however if cover, it will freeze up and can't use later.
"He, he, he, sure painful if I hit this place but what if I cut it off?! Definitely hell." Say Zi Zen as he quickly use his knife to try and cut off that part. The boar react quickly so the knife only manage to cut half of it.
"Oinkkkkkkk" The boar scream as his part is shooting out blood.
"Look like it will die of blood lose soon. Hehehe"
The boar start to go on rampage hitting Zi Zen but he avoided and chase him.
"Uh oh, run" Just as Zi Zen avoided the charge, he stand up to see the boar chase him. "I need a plan" think Zi Zen in his head. He run away just to see that the bear is just scratching his claw at a tree. A ideo pop in Zi Zen head. He run toward the bear and stand right before the bear. The boar charge at Zi Zen and at last seoncd, Zi Zen avoid it. Thus, boar hit the bear at it leg.
Due to surprises attack from the boar, the bear left leg suffer serious injury until the bear fall on its knee.
The bear look toward the boar like it will kill it this time for sure. Zi Zen on the other hand, already run far far away this time in order not to get hit by other flying tree again. But still enough to observe the fight.
The boar run to a distance and tackle the bear again. The boar hit the bear again but before it got away, the bear grab the boar with it claw and use the other hand to punch the boar twice before the boar manage escape from the bear grid. The boar armor crack further like a spider web this time. The boar look like going to die soon due to injury it sustain and blood loss. It charge it one last time to the bear using it last strength. Right before it hit, it jump and intent to land it head at the bear. However, the bear manage to avoid despite it injury on its leg.
*Poom*
The boar last attempt only manage to hit a tree and the tree is still standing leaving a huge hole in it. It start to fall but still standing tall.
The bear who still alive, roar indicating that it win the battle.
Behind the tree, Zi Zen already move toward the tree the boar hit just now and give a nice body tackle. The tree start to fall toward the bear. The bear turn it head just to see the tree falling onto its face.
The tree knock the bear lying down flat. Zi Zen not missing the opportunity, he drive his knife into the bear neck twice. And jump away, readying his M4A1. After a while, the bear don't seem to move. Maybe it dead.
The mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind. Seem to suit this situation but they aware of me though.
"Whatever, the important is I alive and they dead. My trophy today, need to save a picture for memory." Zi Zen say as he switch on his phone to take a picture of him and the bear with the boar.
*Chack*
"Good shot, now turn off to save battery".

"Still nothing?'
