While others were still resting, Emil took a few minutes to collect his thoughts.

This is not difficult for him, because he usually likes to think independently. After experiencing the series of things just now, he sorted out the information about the monster in his mind.

First of all, it is certain that the monster just appeared alone. This is mainly because monsters usually move in groups. Once they encounter prey, they will definitely rush towards them. However, the one Emil saw appeared alone.

, I don’t know if I fell behind or something happened.

Therefore, the monster that was stabbed in the throat by Sion and melted into the water must be the same monster that later attacked the village chief and soldiers with its claws.

So one can imagine the horror of monsters. They would actually fake death to make their prey lower their guard, and then attack when the prey is not paying attention. This reminded Emil of what was recorded in the story book. Some monsters have as much power as

Human intelligence, and even the ability to speak.

In addition, the village chief and the soldier were attacked near the creek, but people far away from the creek were not attacked. This shows that the monster has water-related abilities and cannot leave the water source.

"Tch, it's a lot of nonsense. It's not like we haven't thought of a solution yet," Greya disagreed after hearing Emil's discovery. "Most people can understand this kind of thing with a little thought, but the key is how should we deal with that guy? What?

It’s really too difficult, with your kid’s IQ you can’t even think of a solution.”

"Don't be like this, Graia."

Sion stopped Graia's ridicule, and then said in a leader's tone, "Now that the village chief is gone, I have the responsibility to lead you. Now is a critical moment of life and death. We must unite and make suggestions together..."

"Tsk, okay, okay, don't talk like that old-fashioned village chief, okay? It's disgusting." Greya looked impatient.

"That..." One of the remaining four minors said in a weak tone.

"What? Do you have anything to say?" Sean quickly responded to the young man.

Although he was exhausted mentally and physically after what he had just experienced, in order to reassure everyone, he had to smile.

"Brother Sain, you see, the village chief is no longer here, and the soldier who wanted to take us to the army is also dead. We..." The young man cowered.

"Oh, I understand, you want to be a deserter, right?" Greya said maliciously.

"No, no, no, that's not the case..." The young man quickly shook his head.

"No need to say more, I understand." Sean nodded and said, "If you really don't want to join the army, you can go back and I won't pursue it."

"That, that's great."

"Of course, the same goes for you guys." Sion looked around at Emil, Greia and the others and said.

"Really? Can we go back too?" It was one of Grea's followers who said this.

"Well, the village chief is no longer here. Now it's up to me to make the decision. I guarantee that even if you leave, you won't be regarded as deserters."

Although Sion said this, he still felt troubled. After all, if they wanted to continue on their way, they had to defeat the monster. In case there were not enough manpower...

"It's okay, let them go." Emil said seriously, he understood Sean's doubts.

"Tch, who do you think you are!" Greya pushed Emil, "How dare you make decisions for our Lord Sion?"

"Graia!" Sion was a little angry.

"Yes, yes, my Lord Sion." Greya put on a sinister expression.

"Anyway, those who want to leave, please raise your hands." Sion looked around at everyone.

No one raised their hands at first, and even the children who asked first were hesitant and didn't dare to raise their hands. They were worried that Sean was just saying that on the surface, but would actually retaliate.

Until another of Grea's followers raised his hand, others saw this and slowly raised their hands as well.

Now, except for Sion, Emil and Graia, the remaining six people all wanted to go back.

"Is this really okay?" Sion asked.

"Well, trust me, I have a way to deal with that monster." Emil said decisively.

However, he dared to say such things, and there was indeed a basis for it. He had already come up with several countermeasures based on the existing intelligence, and even if he only

(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)

Even he himself can defeat that monster.

"Okay, I believe you." Sain nodded.

The reason why Sean trusts Emil is actually because he has paid attention to him from a long time ago.

At that time, Sain heard about Emil from the village chief and was curious about this introverted young man, so he peeked at his every move in the dark from time to time and found that besides helping others in the village, he

, I spent most of the time sitting alone on the stone in front of the house, staring at the sky in the distance in a daze.

Sean didn't know what Emil was thinking, but he just felt that he must be a person with a rich inner world, and it would be interesting to become friends with him.

Indeed, as Greya said, the village chief is an old-fashioned person, and the same is true of Sion's family. Sion has hated the preaching character of the adults in his family since he was a child. Although he knows that those adults are right, but when they

When you say it in such cliché terms, you feel inexplicably bored.

Sean knew that if he lived in such a family again, he would eventually become that kind of person, so he always wanted to leave.

Later, by chance, he heard a conversation between his father and the village chief, saying that he would be allowed to take over the position of village chief when he had a certain life experience and reputation. After hearing this, he finally strengthened his determination.

, that is to join the army and leave this family.

However, the reason why the village chief agreed to him was not only because conscription was compulsory, but also because as long as he joined the army, Sean's status among the villagers would be guaranteed. Therefore, he was asked to join the logistics force, which at least would not

Fearing for his life, when the war is over, Sion can legitimately become the next village chief.

Sain knew nothing about this matter. He thought it would take some time to convince his father and uncle, who was the village chief, but he did not expect that they agreed readily.

Unfortunately, he was already overwhelmed with joy and did not think much about it. Instead, he thought that he would finally be free.

In short, through some of the things just now, Sean was more convinced that Emil was an extraordinary person. He couldn't help but admire his unique vision and not making any mistakes.

Since Emil had made such a promise, Sean had no reason to refuse. Besides, he also wanted to know what method Emil would come up with to deal with the monster.

"Graia, aren't you going back?"

After watching the six people return along the same route, Sion turned back to look at Greia.

"Huh, this guy hasn't left yet, how can I leave, otherwise others will think I'm not as good as him." Greya glanced at Emil with disdain.

"But you might die next." Thain teased him, wanting to take the opportunity to support Emil.

"Tch." Greia understood Sion's intention and did not continue.

Sean smiled awkwardly, and then said, "Okay, there are only three of us now, so Emil, please tell us your solution."

"Um."

Emil nodded and began to talk about the countermeasures that he thought had the highest success rate.

…

After a while, the three assigned their respective tasks and began to implement the plan.

The core figure of this plan is Emil, and Sean and Grea are only responsible for covering up. In fact, according to Emil's thinking, he really only needs to be alone, but since there are three people present, he doesn't need to take the risk alone.

Besides, having more people can also increase the success rate.

Emil was not stupid. He knew Graia's thoughts very clearly and knew that he would definitely find an opportunity to frame him. So after explaining the plan, he spoke a few words to Sion alone and asked him to help keep an eye on Graia.

"Don't worry, just do it. Greia is left to me." Sion patted his chest, then looked at Emil's thin figure and said with a worried look, "I should be the one to do this. Anyway, I

Be stronger."

"No, no need. This is my plan after all. I must take responsibility. If it fails, you will not suffer losses."

"……Oh well."

Hearing what he said, Sion couldn't help but feel even more awe-struck, so he nodded and handed him the spear in his hand.

"There's no need for this," Emil refused. "It's better to leave the final blow to the monster to you, and it can also be used to deal with Greia when necessary."

"Haha, you don't need this to deal with Greia, and I

(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)

To tell you the truth, he is actually not that bad. You will understand after we get along for a long time."

"Perhaps," Emil said noncommittally, "but it is necessary to be on guard against others, not to mention that it is a matter of life and death for us now, so we must be careful."

"...Okay, I understand."

After talking to Sean, Emil looked around and began to search for something in the grass.

After a while, he collected several vines and woven them into a simple armor. Then he found two flat stone slabs and inserted them between the vines, and finally fixed them inside his clothes.

This will ensure that the chest and back will not be pierced by the monster's claws.

Although he didn't know why the monster's attack method was like that, the head and heart were obviously the most important points of human beings, but Emil didn't think about it that much for the time being, and it would only be a waste of time to delve into that kind of thing.

The kind of rattan armor Emil made was actually taught to him by his neighbor Joey. It is said that when he joined the army, he had no decent equipment at all and had to find his own way. It was also because his father had been weaving baskets all his life.

I was influenced by what I heard and saw, and then I made some improvements myself.

Emil thought that this kind of knowledge would never be needed, but he didn't expect that it would be useful now.

After making the armor, the next step is to attack. Of course, Sion's spear is the main weapon, but this alone cannot defeat the monster, because Sion clearly pierced the monster's throat before, but

Still didn't kill it, and later tried to hit the sharp claw with a spear, but it was easily dodged.

This shows that the key point of the monster is not the throat at all, or that it is just a deception. The real throat is not actually in that part. Based on previous observations, he can only choose the part that looks like a mouth because there is viscous liquid there.
