Chen Zhou's current state is indeed somewhat strange. If you look closely, you will find that Chen Zhou is standing there expressionless and has not said a word until he refutes the people behind him.
"Hmph? Who do you think you are? You tell us not to move, and we just stay still? Let me tell you, you'll be taken back by Shanghai in the next moment. Just wait!" The leader ignored Chen Zhou and strode towards him, following behind the others.
Chen Zhou remained where he was, showing no intention of leaving. He simply manipulated his small flame to slowly appear behind him.
In fact, Chen Zhou was just stalling for time. He manipulated the flames to appear behind him and arranged them in a neat row, with each flame close together. If you didn't look carefully, you wouldn't be able to see the flames in the grass at all.
The main reason is that the flame was just too small!
Chen Zhou could also control the flames to prevent them from igniting the grass; this was all within his control. If those people had looked closely at the flames earlier, they would have noticed that the flames hadn't burned the surrounding grass at all!
It was as if the flames appeared out of thin air! Clearly, none of them noticed this problem.
The fact that they didn't notice this problem means that they couldn't see the flames in the grass clearly.
"Chen Zhou, what are you doing? They're all here! I'm telling you, they're robbers who rob people along the way! I saw them before, these people are extremely vicious, last time... if it weren't for... us..."
Upon hearing this, Chen Zhou did not reply, but instead interrupted him directly, saying, "Don't speak!"
Chen Zhou deliberately raised the volume of his voice, so that the person behind him could hear his silly voice again.
But clearly, those people wouldn't listen to Chen Zhou. They immediately gritted their teeth and said, "Hmph! Kid, you just wait and see if I don't tear your mouth apart."
These people are no longer going to let Chen Zhou's words delay their actions. In their eyes, Chen Zhou is a complete fool, and the best way to deal with a fool is to ignore him.
Clearly, these people did a good job of ignoring Chen Zhou.
Seeing that his trick had failed, Chen Zhou remained calm and waited patiently in place. When the people were about to approach the flames he had set up, Chen Zhou whispered to Yuan Ziyi beside him, "Wait, follow my steps closely!"
Yuan Ziyi nodded. She had longed for a proper rest like this before, but now that she had already rested for a long time, seeing this scene made her hate resting even more. She couldn't wait to leave.
These people are not to be trifled with. If Chen Zhou is no match for them, she naturally wouldn't be able to fight eight of them by herself, so she is somewhat worried now.
However, upon hearing Chen Zhou's words, Yuan Ziyi seemed to sense the firmness in his voice and immediately stopped thinking about it.
She simply felt that she had to trust Chen Zhou.
"It's just ahead! Hurry up and get up there!" The leader's gruff voice continued, and just as they were striding forward, a wall of fire slowly rose beneath their feet! The location of the wall of fire was exactly where the small flames Chen Zhou had just set up were.
When the wall of fire appeared, everyone was stunned, but it was too late. The wall of fire appeared directly at their feet. Some of them had just raised their legs, so the wall of fire appeared right at their leg level.
"Stop! Stop! There's a ghost!"
"I can't stop, bro!"
"Stop right now!"
...
These people immediately lost their composure and tried their best to stop, but those in front of them couldn't stop no matter what, and they crashed head-on into the wall of fire.
"boom!"
Once Chen Zhou's rootless fire found a conductor, it ignited fiercely, and everyone's bodies immediately burst into flames.
The two men leading the leader stopped just in time, avoiding a collision with the wall of fire not far away. They watched as their brothers crashed into the wall of fire, their bodies engulfed in flames.
Chen Zhou still didn't turn around, but he was aware of his rootless fire. He naturally felt that the wall of fire from his rootless fire had taken effect, effectively blocking the people on the other side. Immediately, Chen Zhou took off running to the side.
Yuan Ziyi then started running after Chen Zhou.
Instead of meeting the people behind him, Chen Zhou chose to go around to the side, and he and Yuan Ziyi started running from the side.
Meanwhile, Chen Zhou's wall of fire had completely blocked them out, preventing them from seeing what was happening on this side. The people who had collided with the wall of fire were now engulfed in flames and were rolling on the ground, trying to extinguish the flames on their bodies.
But no matter how intensely he rolled around, the flames on his body could not be extinguished.
"Brother, what should we do now?" one of the men asked the one beside him who seemed to be the leader. Looking at the towering wall of fire not far away, they clearly couldn't get past it. So they could only wait where they were.
"There's a river at the foot of the mountain! Take them to the river immediately," the man who seemed to be the leader of the group said in a deep voice.
"What about those two people...?" the person next to him continued to ask.
