11 11- Iron Ore
Mark stretched his body as he watches the sun rise like a king giving it dominance upon the world.
All the monsters disappeared in an instant, the ones who didnt left were burned by the sun turning into ashes.
"My body hurts, we should really make a bed" Mark said, he tried to sleep last night but it seemed the system had given him a limit and doesnt allow him.
Now he knows why the beta testers said that bed is also important.
"Then lets go hunt sheep" Chris said.
"Sure" Mark nodded, since he couldn't sleep last night, he spent most of his times crafting tools and weapons.
He crafted a stone sword, stone axe, and stone-pick axe, he created 2 pieces each for Chris and his.
They first ate the rabbit meat from last night, drank some boiled water, this way he wont be poisoned, then finally ventured out.
The 1st continent is very vast, it was said that it was even bigger than earth by two times, and the other continents are also bigger, 2nd continent is four times bigger than 1st continent and so on.
Anyway, Chris and Mark started looking around for sheep.
Their base was located in snow biome so finding one is very difficult, a sheep could be mostly found in a Plain or Forest Biome.
They decided to head on a random way first and walked straight, while on their way, they also collected resources they could find.
One of those were Tree saplings, a spruce sapling, when the tree grows, it would be taller than most trees and they could earn tons of wood when they cut one down.
Mark and Chris were able to find four spruce saplings, they then proceeded on their path, whenever they see a cave, they try to venture inside and see if there are ores that they could find.
Mark became the miner while Chris became his guard, Chris somewhat knows how to wield a sword and could fend off the monsters inside the cave.
They didnt venture deep into it since their purpose was to search for a sheep, but even with that, their exploration was also fruitfull.
"Iron ore!" Mark exclaimed.
"Well, that great that we found iron ore but could you please mine it already" Chris said as he faced 3 zombies in front of him.
[Zombie Lv. 3]
[Health: 238/300]
Zombies movement speed are slow but their strength and Health is no joke, even after slashing the zombies with a sword, their health only dropped by a little bit.
"Hey, I'm not going to mine it unless you kill those zombies" Mark said with a smirk and sat near the iron.
"Ugh! damn you!" Chris cursed and slashed the zombie that was near him, the zombies skins were very hard, his stone sword cant cut through it.
*Grrr!
The zombie growled and tried to charge towards Chris but he dodged it by jumping to the side then sending a counter attack by slashing it on the neck.
*Swish!
[You have dealt a critical damage on the zombie, -26 Health]
"Nice!" Chris cheered but he failed to notice the other zombie to charge after him and swung its claws.
*Bam!
"Ugh!" Chris was pushed by the attack and stepped back a few meters.
[You have been attacked, you lost 3 Health]
[Your arm has been injured, your arm feels numb]
Chris did felt his hand was numb, he couldn't even hold his sword properly anymore, just then he noticed the other zombie charged towards him again.
*Swish!
*Bang!
A sword came in front of Chris and smacked the zombie away, it was Mark, "I guess 3 zombies are too much for you?" Mark asked with a smirk.
"Heh, I just dont like using swords" Chris replied as his arm finally recovered and he could swing it properly again.
"Then I will make a dagger for you later" Mark said then took the aggro of the two zombies leaving the other one for Chris.
Mark faced off the two zombies, even though they have hard skin and more strength Mark smoothly evaded their attacks.
Even though they looked scary, to Mark, they were just mindless monsters who knows to attack what was on their sight, they only know how to charge and attack.
But it will still be a problem if they got close to him, whenever they got close, Mark will kick them away on the stomach and struck them while he was at it.
[You have dealt a damage on the zombie, -12 health]
Mark played around with zombie, not really taking them seriously, it was like an adult playing with a child.
Chris who was having a hard time since earlier noticed what Mark was doing and he finally understood how to handle the zombie.
"Keep the distance away, since they are slow, I could move around, even though the cave is a little small, its enough to move around" Chris murmured as he put what he said to work.
He distanced himself and kept poking the zombie whenever he got the chance.
*Tap!
"Ah!" Chris who was now having fun playing with the zombie failed to notice the stone on the ground tripped and fell into his butt.
*Grr!
The zombie jumped towards him but Chris moved fast and rolled to the side, avoiding the zombie that launched itself towards him.
Chris then struck once again and backed away, he checked the zombie's health it still had the half of it, Chris then turned to look at Mark.
The guy already defeated the zombies he was fighting very hard and started mining the iron, 'How can he kill zombies faster?' Chris asked.
Mark who started mining the iron glanced at Chris 'He still have too much to learn' he thought, the reason why he easily killed the zombies were attacking their weakness spots and dealing critical damage every attack.
Just like the great 'Weed'[1] once said, a dice game does not comes with a probability if you can control it.
Anyway, Mark could teach Chris about those things next time but for now, he needed to mine the iron ore.
Mark took out the stone pick axe, then started mining the iron ore, he used great force to break the ore then slowly just like how everything breaks in the game, a crack appear on the iron ore.
As Mark repeatedly struck the iron ore, a crack spread out and finally broke, iron ore turned into little pixels and popped out a piece of iron ingot.
"Too much for a hard work" Mark commented.
Mark then mined the other iron ore, there was a total of four iron ores, just in time as Chris also finished the zombie he was fighting
