Quenched long order

Chapter 47
"Master Saul, can you?" the guard who followed Saul asked cautiously.

For him, the person in front of him is the person appointed by the inspector. Even though he used to be a miner, it is completely different now. Moreover, the glorious deeds of yesterday have gradually spread. He is afraid that his loud voice will arouse Sauer's resentment, and he may be killed as a polluted person later.

"How about, I'll call the inspector—" the guard was interrupted.

"—No need." Sauer raised his left hand to stop the guard from continuing. The inspector gave him this identity just to let him solve these troubles. If he disturbs the inspector now, then his use value in the inspector's heart will definitely decrease. Therefore, the miners who are polluted in front of him must be resolved by himself.

This is the moment to establish authority.

Sauer took a step forward and asked the guard with the spear in his hand: "Let me ask you, if you get too close, you will lose strength. What is the specific situation?"

The spear guard was stunned for a moment, and replied: "Before we planned to deal with it as before, but after the few of us walked in, we felt so weak that we couldn't even lift the spear. Fortunately, we found it early so that we could survive. If we slowed down, we might turn into a puddle of blood like the people before."

"Blood water?" Saul turned his head to look at the polluted miner, and he found that there was indeed an unusual pool of blood water where the miner crawled over.

"Yes." The spear guard nodded repeatedly, "Those people didn't even have the energy to run, they could only stay beside that... that monster, and then their whole bodies slowly began to melt." Perhaps thinking of the scene at that time, the spear guard retched, and then wiped his mouth.

"Have you tried long-distance attacks?" Sauer set his sights on the spear guard's hands. Although the structure is not suitable for javelins, as long as the contaminated miners can be prevented from continuing to move, even if the movement speed is very slow, they can still control this threat.

The spear guard shook his head.

"Give it to me." Saul stretched out his right hand.

After the spear guard understood, he quickly handed the weapon in his hand to Sauer. If he didn't need to live on this island, he didn't want to contact the polluted miners at all.

After Saul took the spear, he walked forward. At the same time, the ability to sense the air was activated, and his attention was focused on the twisted and crawling monster in front of him.

He approached little by little, and when he got close to the range of about three meters, he felt a sense of weakness in his hands. It was not that the spear in his hand became heavier, but that his hands could not use force, as if his muscles were in a state of relaxation and could not be contracted. However, it was not serious. To him, it was just equivalent to a little fatigue.

Perhaps it sensed that a prey was approaching, and the twisted and crawling monster suddenly twisted violently, and the speed of its forward crawling accelerated a lot.

Realizing this, Saul waited for a while, and found that as the monster approached, the powerlessness was rapidly getting worse, so he immediately backed away, and when his body was away from the monster, his body was full of energy again, and his hands regained strength. To verify, he waved the spear in his hand and felt good.

And when he was far away from the monster, the speed of the monster's twisting and crawling also slowed down.

Saul frowned slightly, and had an idea in his mind.

Monsters with special abilities, monsters can make people close to a certain range lose their physical strength.

The monster can only crawl at a very slow speed, and it will speed up when it encounters people approaching, but it is very limited.

The hardness of the monster's body surface cannot be determined for the time being, and further testing is needed.

Your best bet is to kill through other means, such as from a distance, or, using traps.

Thinking of this, Saul took two big steps back, then turned his head and said to the guard behind him, "Go find some cloth and grease, and we will burn it directly."

After hearing Shaoer's words, several guards showed sudden realization expressions on their faces, expressing why they hadn't thought of this.

"Hurry up." Saul urged.

"Yes!" The guard replied loudly, and the eyes of the man in front of him became different.

After that, several guards dispersed and went to the side of the trading market. Their usual duty was to guard the trading market and prevent miners from making trouble.

Ten seconds later, the only ones left to face the polluted miners were Sauer, and the guard who woke him up this morning.

"What if, what if the fire doesn't work?" Seeing the monster twisting and crawling towards him, the guard hurriedly took a few steps back.

"Have you ever encountered a situation where fire was useless before?" Saul asked back.

The guard immediately shook his head and replied: "No, I haven't seen it before. However, even if the miners were polluted, this kind of situation rarely happened. Maybe it's just because I rarely saw it..."

"What do you mean?" Saul asked.

"I don't know how to say..." The guard's eyes were full of worry. "The miners who were polluted before, the biggest danger is that they may infect other people. Their bodies will also change, and they will attack other people after the change, but in fact they will die soon, but now these..." He licked his lips, "...Monsters, it seems that they have different... abilities... They seem to... become more... rich?"

After Saul finished listening, his brows were frowned, and the worry in his heart was even worse.

"That's why I said maybe the fire would be useless..." the guard added.

Saul nodded slightly, indicating that he understood.

In the next few minutes, the two followed the monster's trajectory and moved together, keeping a safe distance. The monster did not show any signs of weakness, nor did it change direction.

"Come here!" The guards who had left before rushed back, and there were even more people who came back. They were holding flammable cloth and grease in their hands, and a guard was holding a torch.

Saul ordered the guards to grease the cloth and lay it on the path of the monster.

Perhaps because of Sauer's calmness and calmness, these guards moved very quickly when executing the plan, and quickly created a trap.

After the monster climbed onto the grease-stained cloth, Saul gave an order, and the guards beside him set the cloth on fire with torches.

The flames rushed forward like a sea wave, igniting all the cloth, and then the flames gathered on the monster covered in grease.

The monster was still twisting and crawling, but at a slower and slower speed.

Saul glanced around and climbed up to the nearby shop. Then, he held the spear in his hand and sensed the surrounding air. Then, he exerted force with his left foot, twisted his waist, and threw the spear in his hand. The spear drew a parabola and landed in the center of the monster's body, pinning the monster to the ground.

As time passed, the scorching flames still showed their powerful destructive power. The guards' worries just now did not appear. When the flames gradually burned out, it was obvious that the monster's crawling had almost stopped, but the scorched body would bounce every ten seconds or so.

Death is inevitable.

Due to the death of the monster, some people gradually gathered in the distance.

In the fading flames, Saul jumped from the top of the shop. Then, he felt that someone was staring at him. He turned his head and found Regis's face among the crowd of onlookers not far away.

Compared with before, Regis's sullen face became more haggard. After he realized that Saul was looking at him, he took two steps back and left the crowd.
