Chapter 13: Attack on Stone Mountain 2
After 30 min,
killing one first level 1 Stone Rat, Ash and Evan staying in the opposite of Stone Monster watching them. If a new Stone Rat gets out of the monster, they will kill it because Ash thinks "it is better to wait and kill Stone Rat alone.
And the current numbers of Stone Rats in the mountain is an average challenge to them, but waiting more time to make the challenge easy is worth it. After all, in a fight anything can happen, so prepare before as much as possible."
Ash thinks there is one level 1 Stone Rat and seven level 0 Stone Rats, so
They waited for a new Stone Rat to attack outside the range of Stone Mountain.
1 hour later, one Stone Rat comes outside the mountain range and started going towards the area where level 1 Stone Rat was going, and Ash thinks his mind "that this Stone Rat is trying to smell the scent of the first level 1 Stone Rat and following its scent very accurately," and after some time Ash thinks "I should get rid of the level 0 Stone Rat."
So, they start the fight with stone rat, after 3 min fight, Evan takes care of this Stone Rat with axe very quickly.
Few minutes later,
Again, they began to spy on Stone Rats in the Stone Mountain.
After some time, Ash began to say status and window popped up.

And few minutes later, he and Evan see a second level 1 Stone Rat and seven level 0 Stone Rats started to come outside the Stone Mountain, and the second level 1 Stone Rat started to smell the first level 1 Stone Rat, and the second Stone Rat accurately followed the first level 1 Stone Rat, and Ash and Evan silently followed those Stone Rats without attacking because Ash feels he needs to be more cautious of them. Nobody knows, maybe there is one more level 1 Stone Rat, so
They keep following the rats without attacking them and those Stone Rats did not notice them.
2 hours later, in an upper mountain area with lush and big trees and congested vines all over around, Ash took a shot against the second level 1 Stone Rat and he is on a big tree branch where finding him is not easy with so many trees
And first shot hit the Stone Rat's leg and its leg was injured badly. After Ash took 3 more shots and killed the level 1 Stone Rat, after that Evan took care of the other Stone Rats easily, very easily.

Seeing this, Ash understands he sees it in the city status panel and he feels it is good and it will help in planning the city's resources.
Again, they began to try to enter the Stone Mountain and they enter. Here they can see a lot of stone rocks here and there.
They try to search for some time and see if they find something useful to them or city but they don't find anything except rock stone.
After, Ash said to let mine a stone first for our use, after that we can see what we can find here.
And, Evan started to mine Stone Mountain and 1 hour later he mined almost 100.
After some thinking, Ash decided he wanted to have 300 stone minimum after that they go to the nexus-city.
