Chapter 10 - New discovery

Due to attacks by "Dustry" the monster that they just killed, Haruto and Ayan were wounded. The damage wasn't critical, they can move freely and wounds will heal quickly.

They were resting in another cave because it's not been that long since the day started.

They decided to rest in a cave and then go hunting. Now that they have four weapons it will be easier than before.

When they were waiting in the cave, Kaito suddenly noticed something. He noticed that something in the deep of the cave was glowing.

He tells everyone, when they all see, that they think that it was a monster but they decided to go inside to check what it was so they don't miss if it was anything important.

They hesitantly go inside holding weapons in their hands. There was turning inside the cave from where the light was coming.

When they turned in the cave they saw that there wasn't any monster, but they saw that the walls of the cave were silvery blue and glowing softly in darkness. From there the cave was small.

The walls of the cave were silvery blue at most of the spot when they got near to it they realised that it was some kind of ore or something.

Ayan told John to break it with his axe, as they don't have any pickaxes and the cave was too small to use a spear. They wanted to analyse it and check if it is any useful.

John first hit with less force, but when he saw that there wasn't even a scratch on it he hit the walls with his full force. Even after hitting it with full force, it only cracks.

He was surprised to see the sturdiness of the wall. So he hit four to five times, and after that hard work a small piece of that ore came out.

After giving that piece of stone to Ayan he told him that the axe won't do anything; they need a pickaxe. That piece of stone was enough to do research on it.

After some time they went for another hunt as they can't do anything for now. They start searching for the monster. They looked for a monster, after looking for some time they found another monster.

Brown hair all over the body covering its face very sharp claws and was the size of a squirrel.

They don't want something like before again. So they decided to observe that monster for sometime. After observing for some time they noticed that it wasn't fast, mainly uses its claws for attack.

They need to avoid getting hit by its claws, it can cut them even with a slight touch. There wasn't any other risk.

All four of them, Ayan with sword, John with axe, Haruto with shield and Luca with spear go for the hunt.

First Haruto approached it with a shield, when the monster ran towards Haruto, Luca shot it with a spear when the monster was in mid air.

It aimed directly towards its stomach, but the skin of that monster was think and hard to cut. So the spear made only a slight wound.

Ayan noticed it so not attacking anywhere else he stabbed the wound of that monster and enlarged the wound of that monster.

That monster runs towards Ayan to attack, but Haruto jumps in and blocks it's attack. The focus of that monster was on Ayan and Haruto and didn't notice the others.

John used it and attacked the monster using axe and cut down his one hand. Luca also stabbed its other hand and pinned it on the ground. Ayan used this opportunity and cut down his both leg and leave it half dead

After killing that monster they gave a signal to others and called them. When they arrive Ayan gave his sword to Zhi- ming and tell him to cut it's neck.

This monster was very easy to kill from that Dustry. Zhi- ming killed that monster in one slice. When the monster died a voice ranged in his mind.

[You killed an ordinary class monster "Scurryp"]

[You did not get any killing reward]

[You got 100 exp, you leveled up]

After hearing that voice he told everyone that unfortunately he did not receive weapons. Every one was disappointed when they heard that.

They need ten weapons as fast as possible. They are lacking manpower for defeating strong monsters and also need to level up as faster as they can for their survival.

It's already been the fifth day of them on this planet and not even everyone level ups ones. Time is running fast. It takes almost one day to kill only two monsters.

Their speed was very slow and it also frustrates them that they don't even have enough weapons.

When they were thinking and talking about what they needed to do next. They realise that the sun starts hiding behind the mountains and it will not take much time for sunset.

They first locate the cave of the ores that they saw while relaxing, and went towards their cave where they were staying.

After arriving in the cave they started to research on that ore like stone. After two hours their research was over.

Their result was unbelievable. Density of 0.7 g/cm³ lighter than air. Tensile strength of 2300 MPa, five times stronger than carbon steel.

Hardness equivalent to 8.1 on Mohs scale (Mohs scale use in measuring hardness). Melting point of 4012°C. Non corrosive, non magnetic and 99.6% of radiation resistance.

They were all shocked by the results. A metal that can't be found on earth. Lighter than air and stronger than carbon steel.

They think of making tools and armour from this metal. But there was a major problem, creating a temperature of 4012°C without an industrial furnace would be impossible for them.

Now they are stuck in another problem. There are many problems with it. How will they extract large amounts of ore? How they transport it to this cave as it will be dangerous to do work on that cave.

And the biggest problem was how they smelt it to carve it into shapes.

They have left with only problems with no solutions.
