Chapter 227: A great way to put out a fire

Regarding Mo Juren's idea of ​​winning over the independent cultivators, the second brother Xie Hong frowned and said,

"Didn't Fellow Daoist Zhang hear what Fellow Daoist Hu just said? These people have been controlled by Diao Yuanzheng using the Corpse Worm Pill. I'm afraid they are no longer in control of themselves!"

Mo Juren seemed to have other plans, and replied,
"It's okay. I can think of a way. How about this, Brother Wang, you guys quickly take Sister Hu with you and go ahead. I will blend in with these casual cultivators and support them in secret, waiting for an opportunity!"

Seeing that Mo Juren insisted, Wang Zhuo and others had no choice but to agree and entered the passage first.

After Hong Jin came out of the stone man formation, he did not stay for long, nor did he even look at these wandering cultivators. He just chased after them.

Mo Juren mixed in with the group of casual cultivators, and when Diao Yuan finally emerged from the stone man formation, there were only four strong men carrying the sedan chair left by his side.

Fortunately, Diao Yuanzheng didn't pay much attention to these casual cultivators, and didn't notice Mo Juren mixed in with them. When he passed by them, he just waved his hand and said,
"Let's go! I didn't expect that I would be the last one to come here! Hurry and catch up!"

When they arrived at the fourth stone cave space, they saw the Five Friends of Mengshan and Hong Jin standing at the end of the passage, unable to move forward.

In front of them was a scorching hot space of fire. The ground was covered with fire-breathing nozzles, densely packed throughout the entire area.

Seeing this, Diao Yuanzheng sneered and followed slowly, while leisurely mockingly saying,
“Brother Hong, why don’t you continue to move forward? And the Five Friends of Mengshan, aren’t you very capable? You have no tricks now? Hahaha…”

Hong Jin turned around and smiled calmly.

"That's right. It looks like Junior Brother Diao has to take action. Ask your men to think of a solution?"

Diao Yuanzheng commanded four strong men to lift him in front of the flame array and threw something out. The flame nozzles spit out flames as soon as they sensed something passing by.

The flames shot up into the sky, reaching the top of the cave, threatening to burn everything to ashes. It took a while for the flames to stop.

After seeing the power of this flame array, Diao Yuanzheng's eyes turned cold, and he looked at Hong Jin, then whispered sinisterly,
"This flame is even more powerful than the previous grid space. It seems that many little guys are going to suffer. Hehe."

Then, he turned around and shouted to the group of casual cultivators,
"Well, if you have any good ideas, think about them now! Otherwise, we'll just follow the old rules and select three people to explore the way each time!"

The scattered cultivators shouted loudly,

"No, Senior Diao. Please let us go..."

"Senior Diao, this flame is too strong. If you step on it, you will be reduced to ashes!"

"Senior Diao, please let us go. We will definitely find a solution after we get out..."

Diao Yuanzheng said angrily,

"Shut up! Instead of making noise here, I advise you to come up with a solution as soon as possible. Time waits for no one."

Hong Jin also said in a sinister tone,

"There are so many flame vents. If we need people to block them all, I think there are not enough people here..."

As soon as these words were spoken, the wandering cultivators dared not speak for a moment. Even Hu Pinggu, who was protected by the Five Friends of Mengshan, turned pale with fright when she heard Hong Jin's voice and dared not utter a word.

Mo Juren hid behind all the casual cultivators and saw Diao Yuanzheng's fire test and threatening words from a distance. Somehow, an idea suddenly came to his mind.

So he quietly fell to the back, and when no one was paying attention, he actually started walking back.

When passing by the formation of stone men, Mo Juren directly took out the Nuan Yang Jade. As soon as the stone men sensed the jade, they immediately stopped all their movements, and even returned to their original positions one by one, forming neat queues, as if no one had ever tried to pass the level before.

Mo Juren successfully left this place and returned to the second cave space filled with quicksand. Then he took out a storage bag with the largest space from his arms and filled it with sand desperately. This storage bag was cheated by Mo Juren from Yan Yu, the twins of the Yan family. The space was more than a hundred times larger. Soon he filled a whole bag of sand. The two frog heads on the wall desperately sprayed new sand, but it was too late to fill it up.

Mo Juren turned around and walked away, passing through the stone man formation again and returning to the flame formation.

The group of casual cultivators were still begging, but they had been forced to the front. Diao Yuanzheng was laughing sinisterly at this time.
"Hehe, if you don't choose three people to explore the way, I will do it myself and throw five people in first..."

Mo Juren suddenly said from behind,
"Wait a minute,"

"I have a solution, maybe you can try it."

Everyone looked back and saw a stranger cultivator, all of them looked puzzled.

The five friends from Mengshan were about to shout out, but Mo Juren quickly stopped them with a look.

Hong Jin recognized Mo Juren, but was just surprised.

"why you!……"

Mo Juren quickly stopped talking and said to Diao Yuanzheng,

"Senior Diao, I just thought of a way. When I passed through the quicksand space before, luckily I filled a big bag with sand in advance. Maybe I can try to use it to block these flames."

Diao Yuanzheng was surprised.

"Oh, what a coincidence. Hehe, since you have come up with a solution, you can take the lead in exploring the way..."

Mo Juren said righteously,

"In that case, let me give it a try."

So everyone opened up the passage and let Mo Juren walk slowly to the front.

Mo Juren smelled keenly that the air was filled with the smell of burning fire. After listening carefully, he found that there was a unique fragrance in the smell of fire.

If you really want to get through safely, you probably need to start with these smells and find a safe path to get through. This also corresponds exactly to the last item in "Look, Listen, Ask, and Feel", which is olfaction.

But at the moment, Mo Juren didn't want to expose his discovery, so he took out a storage bag full of sand and poured the sand into the nearest flame nozzle.

After a while, the nozzle was firmly blocked by sand and stones. Under the gaze of everyone, Mo Juren stood on it and tried it himself. Sure enough, the flame could no longer be ejected!

The five friends from Mengshan looked at each other and smiled, thinking that fellow Taoist Zhang was indeed the most resourceful one, as he actually thought of this trick.

Hong Jin and Diao Yuanzheng's eyes lit up and they immediately smiled.

"I didn't expect your method to be so effective."

"What are you waiting for? Hurry up and block all the nozzles in front and open up a passage!"

So Mo Juren nodded in agreement, and quickly started to pour sand and rocks forward, filling and blocking the flame nozzles on the road ahead one by one.

In full view of everyone, a small path paved with sand and stones was created in the sea of ​​fire.

Among the fine sand, there was a large amount of gray-white small-grained sand, which was obviously not brought from the quicksand space...
