Chapter 244 Investigation (7)

However, I was disappointed in the end to see that the bit of smoke was just it.

There was nothing else that happened other than that bit of smoke and the undead started healing not long after.

It seemed that there was a bit of an effect from the potion, but it was just too weak to actually do any damage to the undead.

No one had thought about using potions against the undead when they were playing the game since no one would think that throwing potions at enemies would do anything.? However, based on the damage that had been done to the undead when I used the potion, it seemed that only something on the level of a greater potion would be able to kill this undead.

Not to mention that this was the lowest level of undead there was…

If there was a higher grade undead…it might even take something like an elixir to kill it.

But at the very least, I had found that potions would have an effect on them.

The problem was the quantity and quality of these potions.

It wasn't an exaggeration to call these potions expensive, so much so that a commoner family would be able to live an entire month just with the amount that it took to buy one.

So to get that many to deal with however many undead there were…that was not something that I was capable of even with all the wealth that I had as a noble.

It seemed like I had to find another way or we would have to kill each one of the undead the old fashioned way.

I started thinking about all the different things that I had seen in zombie movies before, but there wasn't a single thing that seemed like it would work.

So I completely threw caution to the wind and pulled out everything that I had.

By the time that I was finished, the undead was covered in all kinds of strange liquids and things that really looked very strange.

The three of them just looked at me like I was crazy, but they didn't stop me.

After all, they had seen the effect that the potion had on the undead, so they could already guess what I was looking for.

In the end, I just gave up and said, "Can any of you make a fire?"

All of them revealed confused looks, but Shaka gave a nod and took out some flint.

I picked up a stick and gathered some cloth to wrap around it before holding it forward for Shaka to light it.

A simple torch was different from a fire used to heat up water, the amount of smoke that would be created would be completely different.

Once the torch was lit, I brought it forward towards the undead's body.

The problem was that the undead's body was still soaked in all the strange liquids that I had poured over it, so I had to use something else. I pulled out a bottle of alcohol and smashed it over the undead, completely soaking it in alcohol.

Then using the torch, I lit the undead on fire…or I would have when I realized that lighting the undead on fire was the same as starting a large fire to heat up water. There would be just too much smoke released.

We had no idea what was around us, so it was best not to create too big of a sign that we were here.

So I turned to Shaka and asked, "Can you find a cave nearby? I want to burn this undead, but it'll generate too much smoke."

Shaka gave a nod before heading off to find this cave for me.

After Ron and Ronnie exchanged a look, they also headed off to find a cave.

It didn't take long before they came back to report that they had found a cave not far from here.

Working together, we carried the undead over to a nearby hill that had a small cave.

This was a very small cave on the side of the hill that didn't lead much further than a few dozen meters. However, it was a very spacious cave that had plenty of space to hide the smoke that came from burning the body.

So I didn't waste any time lighting the undead on fire.

The alcohol did its job and it took no time for the undead to start burning.

As it burned, the flames completely cauterized all of its skin and it wasn't able to heal even with the dark magic that was inside of its body.

So slowly but surely, the undead started to turn to ashes from being burnt like this.

It took a while, but it was turned into a pile of ashes in the end.

Of course, we hadn't been watching from inside of the cave the entire time since that would have led to us dying from lack of oxygen and smoke inhalation.

Instead, we had been waiting outside the cave for the smoke from inside the cave to die down.

Once there was no more smoke, we went in to check on the undead that had been burning.

All that was left was a pile of ashes like we had expected, but that was also a problem.

There was no more undead for me to experiment with and we still hadn't found an actual solution to this.

Burning the undead…wasn't viable since there were many ways for them to put out this fire or just avoid it completely.

So it still seemed like the only way to take down the undead that we would possibly face was to kill them all one by one…

At the thought of this, I couldn't help giving a sigh since it seemed like I had just wasted my time with these experiments.

But Ronnie took this chance to ask, "What do we do now?"

I looked at her and said, "We keep following the river and find the rest of them. There's no way that there's only a single one."
