I Have a Sailing Game-Chapter 110 - 107: Stone Demon

Originally, a month ago, this Stone Demon suddenly appeared and attacked three miners.

Afterward, Mayor David dispatched the island’s security team to try to eliminate the Stone Demon.

The security team returned at the cost of two dead and one injured; their flintlock guns were ineffective against the Stone Demon, and even explosives had little effect.

Helpless, Mayor David attempted to seal off parts of the mine.

However, this Stone Demon behaved unusually, appearing at night to attack the islanders near the mine, and it wasn’t just once or twice.

This caused a major headache for Mayor David.

So, he issued a commission.

Unfortunately, when many people learned that the monster to be dealt with was a Stone Demon, they shook their heads and left.

If it were the Royal Fleet or a professional hunter team, the Stone Demon would not be a big problem.

But for small caravan teams or adventurer guilds, it was more troublesome.

[The Stone Demon has severely affected the lives and safety of the islanders and must be dealt with.]

[For this reason, I have assembled a small team, but we are still lacking in manpower. Most importantly, we lack someone bold and meticulous, quick and agile to lure the Stone Demon.]

[We plan to lure the Stone Demon at night to a prepared...]

Mayor David’s brow was furrowed as he seriously explained his plan to Rogel.

Rogel listened quietly.

Once he finished, Rogel spoke.

[I understand, Mr. Mayor. Now, may I ask you a question?]

Mayor David was a bit puzzled, but still very politely allowed Rogel to ask his question.

[Where is the mine?]

Mayor David, upon hearing this, thought Rogel wanted more information and told him the location of the mine.

[Okay, got it. I’d like to first go check near the mine.]

Rogel nodded.

After saying this, he stood up to leave.

Seeing this, Mayor David earnestly reminded him to be careful and not to rush into the mine. After checking, he should remember to come back and discuss the plan.

After leaving the mayor’s office.

[Captain Rogel, could you share your thoughts with me?]

[Since you don’t want to reveal your extraordinary abilities, you must intend to use your wit to defeat this troublesome Stone Demon.]

[Let me think, you must be planning to survey the environment first and then plan a suitable route...]

Kadi muttered his guess to himself as he asked.

Rogel didn’t speak, just recalled the route Mayor David had mentioned while walking.

Soon, they reached a desolate path.

Rogel turned to look at Kadi, who was still guessing his plan.

[Wait for me here.]

With that, his body turned into a plume of gray mist, swiftly flying toward the direction of the mine. 𝐟𝗿𝐞𝚎𝚠𝐞𝚋𝕟𝐨𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝕔𝕠𝚖

[Huh? Rog... oh my god!]

Kadi’s pupils shrank, and after being stunned for a moment, he quickly took out a pen and paper.

[The poet guessed right. Captain Rogel indeed planned to survey the environment and use his wit to plan a route. Moreover, he once again displayed that magical extraordinary ability, turning directly into a black mist—heavens, this is simply crazy...]

...

Along the way, Rogel passed a large notice board.

It read "Beware of Stone Demon, Do Not Approach."

Soon, Rogel arrived in front of a mine.

In front of the mine were many mining traces and tools, but no people.

Rogel crouched at the mine entrance, checking the footprints on the ground.

The footprints were large and deep, clearly not human-made, with an overall irregular square shape.

Stone Demon’s.

Rogel took out the Armor-Piercing Spear from his item inventory and held it in his hand.

Then he thought for a moment and placed the Giant Corpse Hammer into the item inventory for easy access.

When dealing with high-defense big creatures like the Stone Demon, blunt weapons like the Giant Corpse Hammer are a perfect choice, and his body value now met the usage requirements.

He also put the exquisite medicine pack prepared by Lina into the easily accessible item inventory.

After preparing, Rogel took out a Pearl Lamp and walked into the mine.

He had no intention of following Mayor David’s plan.

Cooperating with a bunch of ordinary people would only tie his hands.

After a while...

"Damn, which path exactly?"

Rogel, in front of the screen, was somewhat frustrated.

He had guided his game character through several paths, but there was still no sign of the Stone Demon.

Crucially, he had tried to follow the Stone Demon’s traces.

The mine’s branching paths were far too numerous.

And this Stone Demon, did it have nothing better to do than wander about, making me search everywhere!

However, luckily, he had almost covered the routes, leaving just two intersections.

Rogel randomly chose one and walked in.

[Huff... huff...]

Not far along, Rogel heard a series of loud snoring sounds.

The snoring was deep and clearly not human.

Sure enough, after turning a corner, Rogel discovered a huge pile of stones.

When sleeping, the Stone Demon looks just like an ordinary pile of rocks.

"Ha, found it."

[Stone Demon]

[Type: Monster]

[Quality: Elite]

[Level: 12]

[Tier: Extraordinary]

[Explanation: A monster that frequently appears in mines and mountains, with a strong sense of territory. If you’re the same, remember to urinate on their heads to mark your scent, which also shows your strength.]

Fortunately, the level isn’t too high, manageable in a fight.

However, when he saw the explanation, Rogel’s expression turned dark.

Urinate to mark scent?

Suppressing the urge to hit something, Rogel took a deep breath and took out the Armor-Piercing Spear.

Raising the Armor-Piercing Spear with his right hand, he charged for a moment and activated the special effect of the Armor-Piercing Spear.

The tip of the Armor-Piercing Spear emitted a faint glow.

Then, Rogel hurled it forcefully.

Shatter!

With a light sound, a shattering noise like breaking glass was heard, indicating the special effect of the Armor-Piercing Spear was triggered.

[Roar——]

The suddenly attacked Stone Demon quickly transformed from a pile of stones into an incredibly muscular, inverted triangle-shaped monster with disproportionately skinny legs.

It let out an enraged roar and, after some searching, fixed its gaze on Rogel in front of it.

It pounded its chest furiously, making a dull thudding sound of stones colliding.

Damn human, how dare you trespass into my territory and ambush me!

You’re dead!

Next, the Stone Demon charged at Rogel like a bulldozer.

Another one that skips leg day.

Rogel quipped inwardly.

As for the Stone Demon’s charge, he neither flinched nor dodged, taking out the Giant Corpse Hammer from his Item Inventory.

The Giant Corpse Hammer was absurdly large, standing as tall as a person, with a hammerhead diameter of about half a meter, white with a hint of yellow, and extremely heavy.

Rogel lifted the massive hammer, the hammerhead tilting back as he gathered his strength.

But the Stone Darton’s charging speed was rapid, reaching Rogel in moments.

With a bang, the Stone Demon crashed into the wall of the mine, producing a loud noise.

It looked at its arm, puzzled upon seeing no red bloodstains.

"Hey!"

Rogel, who had already moved behind it through Fog Flash, shouted.

Hmm?

The Stone Demon turned its head in confusion.

All it could see was a giant hammerhead glowing with a faint white light.

Smashing Strike!

Under the special effect of the Giant Corpse Hammer, the charged heavy strike delivered double damage, hitting the Stone Demon ruthlessly.

Thud——

The entire mine seemed to shake as if in an earthquake.

With a bang, the Stone Demon’s huge and heavy body was sent flying like a massive cannonball, crashing hard into the wall of the mine, creating a massive crater.

Swish, swish, swish...

Debris started falling in the mine.

Not receiving a kill notification, Rogel remained calm, continuing to swing the hammer to gather strength.

[Roar!]

Sure enough, the stone demon, dizzy from the hammer’s strike, recovered clarity and let out an angry roar, grabbing the edge of the crater to pull itself out.

It then disregarded everything and charged at Rogel once more.

This time I’ll definitely crush you!!!

The clever Stone Demon thought with confidence.

In response, Rogel was unfazed.

In terms of the Stone Demon’s intelligence... it’s basically a rock being, can you expect it to have high intelligence?

Otherwise, what do you think the term "extraordinary leftover" means?

Thud... thud... thud...

The rhythmic tremors continued in the mine.

Until a moment later, the tremors ceased.

[You have killed the Stone Demon and gained combat experience.]

[You found 1 Stone Demon Crystal.]

[You found 2 Stone Demon Eyes.]

Amidst the dispersed rubble of the Stone Demon’s corpse, Rogel shouldered the Giant Corpse Hammer, raising an eyebrow.

I must admit, smashing a Stone Demon is quite stress-relieving.

Except that this Stone Demon isn’t very durable; poor rating.
