Although the sound was very faint, Chen Zhou could hear it clearly because he had enhanced all aspects of his physical abilities, including his hearing. So, while Yuan Ziyi couldn't hear the sound, Chen Zhou could.

After Yuan Ziyi finished speaking, she didn't notice what was happening ahead, while Chen Zhou did. In Yuan Ziyi's opinion, Chen Zhou didn't answer her, and she didn't know what was going on, so she was about to ask again.

But at that moment, Chen Zhou rushed to Yuan Ziyi's side again and covered her mouth, preventing her from asking any more questions.

"There are people over there," Chen Zhou said, suppressing his voice. He made sure Yuan Ziyi could hear him clearly before looking up into the distance.

The crowd that had suddenly emerged from that direction was now undoubtedly heading towards Chen Zhou and his group.

Chen Zhou continued to hear their voices.

"I think I just saw a light over here..."

"You mean the direction from which the sound just came from?"

"It seems so... I don't know if it's just my imagination... When I looked again, the light had already disappeared."

"Let's go take a look..."

Upon hearing this conversation, Chen Zhou immediately sensed something was amiss! Their location had been discovered, and those people were now approaching them.

Undoubtedly, they must leave immediately. However, they are being closely watched, and any movement will be detected. Therefore, the best course of action is to remain hidden and motionless, making themselves appear insignificant to their captors, hoping they will simply leave.

Chen Zhou was lying next to Yuan Ziyi, covering her mouth with one hand. Yuan Ziyi immediately slapped Chen Zhou's hand away, and Chen Zhou realized what was happening and quickly withdrew his hand.

"What's going on?" Yuan Ziyi also spoke to Chen Zhou in a low voice. After making sure that no one could hear her, Chen Zhou said seriously to Yuan Ziyi beside him, "Don't speak."

And so, the two of them lay there quietly, neither of them speaking, waiting silently for the people on the other side to arrive.

"Tap tap tap tap tap..."

This is a mountain range, but it's not a barren mountain range; it's a mountain range covered with grass. Chen Zhou could clearly hear their footsteps, making a rustling sound. Chen Zhou didn't know how many of them there were. Only by lying down and listening to the sound could he try to figure out how many people there were, but he still couldn't make out the exact number.

Unable to discern the exact number of people, Chen Zhou didn't try to identify them. He remained silent, suppressing his breathing and trying to make his voice as quiet as possible.

"There doesn't seem to be anything here..." the voice came again.

"Could it be some kind of animal?" a voice answered the previous one.

"Impossible. Although the eighth level of this incineration field is said to have a very ecological environment, there are absolutely no animals living there! Not even small grasshoppers, let alone animals this large," the voice said again.

"Let's take a closer look." A voice came again.

Chen Zhou initially thought they would leave immediately upon hearing the voices ahead, but if they continued to lie down and wait, the people changed their minds. The person speaking from behind seemed to be their leader, and his words sounded like an order, leaving no one daring to object.

No one dared to object, so they naturally did as he said.

"Waiting like this won't do." Chen Zhou thought to himself, and immediately made a small flame. He slowly flew close to the ground, making the small flame appear far away from him, and then immediately lit it. The small flame immediately caught fire.

This happened very quickly; it wasn't that it happened after a long time, but in an instant.

Those people were still walking towards Chen Zhou and his group.

These commotions undoubtedly caught their attention, and they immediately stopped and focused their gaze on the flames not far away!

Chen Zhou deliberately kept the flames far away from him, preventing them from shining on him. At this moment, the flames had attracted their attention, and they might not come to look at them anymore.

Just as Chen Zhou had predicted.

Those people were drawn to the flames and immediately changed direction, walking towards that area.

"That seemed to be the flame just now!" The person who had mentioned the light earlier saw it again and immediately recalled it, exclaiming.

"Let's go take a look!" the man who seemed to be the leader replied immediately, and then led the group toward that direction.

Chen Zhou watched the departing figures and smiled smugly.

These people certainly don't seem to be very intelligent.

I fooled myself after all.

Chen Zhou was still lying down, but he had already quietly poked his head out. At this point, no one was paying attention to their direction, so Chen Zhou indulged himself a little and let his head stick out even longer without any problem.

Those people were already turning their backs to them.

Seeing flames in such a mountain range was naturally a very rare thing, and it had completely captured their attention. They were now walking much faster than before, and soon reached the front of the flames, studying them intently.
