The kill it and save its head, which then is given to the beast.
The boys mistakenly kill Simon, a member of their group, mistaking him for the beast during a chaotic and frenzied moment. Simon had come down from the mountain, where he had discovered the truth about the supposed beast, but the boys, caught up in their fear and mob mentality, attack and kill him.
Simon is missing when the boys kill their second pig. He has wandered off into the forest, experiencing a hallucination that intensifies his feelings of isolation and fear.

It is ironic that the boys kill Simon because Simon is the character who represents goodness and insight on the island. Their decision to kill him suggests that the boys are descending further into savagery and losing touch with their humanity. This act reflects their increasing brutality and loss of moral compass in their primitive society.
Basically that "the beast" isn't something they can hunt or kill but an evil force inherit to the boys. It also tells Simon that he won't be able to escape and he will only find the beast among the other boys. Which comes true when the boys later kill Simon.
In the middle of the frenzy in "Lord of the Flies," the boys mistake Simon for the beast and brutally kill him during a chaotic and violent ritual. This mistake highlights the boys' descent into savagery and the breakdown of their society on the island.
