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.
No, Simon is infact the Christ like figure in Lord of the Flies. He has the ability to "see the future" and is more quiet and solemn compared to the other boys. The boys think Simon is crazy becuase he is not like the rest of them.

In Lord of the Flies, Piggy and Simon are tragically killed. Simon is stabbed to death by the boys and Piggy is sadly hit by a massive rock:(
The first actual 'evidence' that the boys have other than what they claim to have seen is Simon's dead body and when Jack, the majority of the boys leader at the time said that Simon was the beast.

Simon is killed at the end of chapter 9. The boys are having a reenactment of the pig hunt when Simon, who is delirious and hallucinating, crawls into the ring of boys. The boys first think he is the beast and start killing him. When they realize it is Simon and not the beast, they are to caught up and excited to stop. After Simon is killed, all the boys avoid talking about it because they are embarrassed.
