Everyone was caught in a stalemate, but as the passage of time continued, someone suggested a solution: to catch one or two low-cost demon beasts nearby and let them take the lead. Wouldn’t that work?

As soon as the plan was proposed, everyone praised the idea. If the demon beasts went past without any problems, everyone else could safely follow, greatly reducing the risk involved.

However, someone suddenly had a bright idea and looked at Logan, “Isn’t it troublesome to find a demon beast? Why not just treat Logan like a demon beast? Let him go first and scout the way for us.”

“I think that’s a good idea. Demon beasts can’t talk, and in case of danger, they won’t be able to warn us. But Logan is different; he can report everything he sees and hears, right?”

The others agreed that it was possible. Anyway, Logan was only in the Mythical Realm and had the lowest-level among them. Even if he couldn’t make it through the Rubble Pile, they could simply abandon him.

Only Logan was speechless, thinking that this group of people was too cunning. Even a regular Throne Realm wouldn’t dare to go through that easily, and yet they wanted to send him – a Mythical Realm? It was clear that they wanted to mess around with him.

Carter Jefferson was also worried. Logan had more than thirty Law Spirit Grass plants on him. If he died in the Rubble Pile, these spiritual grasses would disperse in the wind, which would be a pity.

But at this moment, he dared not speak up. If he tried to plead for Logan, Gamenor and the others might become suspicious. So, he could only turn his head to one side, ready for the worst-case scenario.

Logan stretched lazily and said decisively, “I’m not going. This is a gamble with my life. All of you just want to sit back and reap the benefits, so why should I take the risk?”

“You have no choice but to go today. If you go, there’s a slim chance you might live. If you don’t go, I’ll kill you immediately. You’re already in the Mythical Realm at such a young age; don’t you want to think about your future?”

Gamenor threatened and tried to persuade Logan to reconsider. If he could cross the Rubble Pile and find some opportunities, wouldn’t it be a step forward in his realm?

Logan kept complaining in his heart. This group of people treated him like a fool, trying to deceive him. If he could summon the Goblin Legion, he would definitely teach them a lesson and kill them in the Illusionary Realm.

But Logan didn’t want to expose himself. After much consideration, he suddenly came up with a good idea. If these people wanted him to scout the way first, why not make use of their plans?

“Fine, I’m usually cooperative. Once I get over there, I’ll be the first to seize the opportunities. However, I heard that there’s a sword left by a Sanctuary Powerhouse on the other side, and the diamond pile is just a distraction.”

With that, Logan took a big step forward and was about to set off when Gamenor suddenly stopped him. As soon as he heard that there were real opportunities on the other side, he couldn’t let Logan go first.

Not allowing Logan to scout the road, but having no guts to do it himself, he faced a difficult choice. The group of more than ten people discussed and decided to send one of their own to investigate.

The chosen person was trembling in fear, “If something goes wrong, remember to look after my family. You, Gamenor, promised me that. I’m risking my life.”

“Don’t worry. My promise stands. If you really die in this Rubble Pile, I’ll make sure my family forms an alliance with yours. It’s something many people dream of,” Gamenor assured confidently, but inwardly sneered. If the other party really met with disaster, who would come to hold him to his promises?

The chosen person gathered his courage and entered the Rubble Pile. The unstable rubble didn’t fall, bringing joy to his nervous heart. Not daring to stay any longer, he activated his abilities and quickly moved forward, disappearing from sight in just a few moments.

It was clear that the person had safely made it through, and the remaining ten people couldn’t help but feel relieved. It seemed that they had overthought the situation, and the Rubble Pile wasn’t as dangerous as they imagined.

Someone boldly stepped forward and said, “The Rubble Pile has remained intact for decades in the Illusionary Realm. Why would it collapse when we arrive? It’s not like our luck is extremely bad.”

However, after taking four or five steps, a falling stone suddenly struck him. The several thousand-pound stone crushed him before he could even react, killing him instantly.

This incident shocked everyone. After all, the victim was a Middle-level Superior Realm, a fairly strong individual. He managed to survive a breath in the Rubble Pile but disappeared in the blink of an eye. No one dared to act rashly anymore, as they had that gruesome example before them.

Time passed by, and even though everyone was still fearful, they had a strong desire for the opportunities ahead. Had the first person already obtained the opportunities and decided not to return?

Another person decided to give it a try and was much luckier than the previous one. They passed five or six rubble steps safely, but as soon as they wanted to turn back and boast, another stone fell on them.

Just like the previous one, they were killed before they could finish what they were saying. Gamenor became increasingly anxious at this moment. How could they safely get through? Out of the original fifteen people, two had already fallen. If they couldn’t find the trick, the only option left was to return empty-handed.

Meanwhile, Logan had been observing carefully. Why did the two people die? The rubble wasn’t as simple as it appeared on the surface. It wasn’t just falling randomly; those two must have violated some sort of taboo.

Logan noticed something. These weren’t natural rubble but an array set up by a powerful being. Only by correctly crossing the Rubble Pile could one remain unharmed. If a wrong move triggered the mechanism, they would be buried alive.

One person didn’t hesitate and walked through without any attacks from the falling stones. The two people following behind were more cautious—they observed their surroundings while walking.

Suddenly, Logan had an epiphany, “I get it now; it’s the ground. If you linger in one spot for too long, it will trigger the array’s attack. If you don’t stop, the array won’t attack you.”

As for the reason behind this design, it must have had something to do with the preferences of the deceased Sanctuary powerhouse. Each powerful being searches for compatible, destined individuals.

Logan smiled indifferently, walked into the Rubble Pile, and left the others astonished—two people had already died, so how could Logan have the courage to go too?

What surprised them even more was that Logan took four or five steps without triggering any attacks from the stones. Everyone realized that Logan must have found the key to the problem.
