After several full swings of his pickaxe, Kai heard the enjoyable sound of metal striking metal, muffled through the soil.

He quickly swung several more times to break up the earthen debris around the chunk of iron to expose its true location.

After he had completely unearther the chunk from under several inches of dirt, Kai inspected it to determine the best possible way to remove it.

This one may take a bit more digging around the edges before I can dislodge it. Kai thought as he finished examining the stone and took a deep breath.

He would quickly bring his pickaxe above his head, gripping it tightly with both hands, and resume his mining practices, removing the soil from the rim of the ore.

After getting enough of the outer soil removed so that Kai thought he could pry the ore from its resting place, he swung his pick once mre and began to pull.

Once again he'd manage to extract a decent sized chunk of iron. He promptly lobbed the chunk into his cart with a resounding thud.

He then turned back to his mining plot and examined it. He could see two places where he'd uncovered the point of iron pieces. He supposed either was as good as the other turned to the left piece.

He supposed either was as good as the other turned to the left piece. He raised his pick once more and began to extract the precious money-maker.

As bits of dust and dirt dropped from the tunnel wall, Kai knew that this piece was in much deeper than the previous two and would need more work.

Soon enough large clots of dirt and small pieces of rocks fell from around the valuable ore that Kai was aiming for.

Okay so after the first two it gets a bit harder, but this is norhing compared to fighting. Kai thought as he kept up his work.

Seeing that this chunk was lodged in the soil at an odd angle, Kai knew he'd need to just dig it out completely, prying it wasn't an option if he wanted the entire chunk without breaking his pick.

He slowly but surely was reaching the depth he needed to fully extract the ore he was after from the earthen wall.

He needed to dig out the surounding wall if he would be successful in this endeavor so he took to that task as well.
