Lin Ke and Lin Yuan exchanged a glance, both hesitating slightly, as they knew well the dangers of the forbidden land.

Although the probability of encountering danger in the forbidden land wasn’t high, once faced with danger, it meant certain death.

In the Land of Chaos for so many years, no one, human or demon beast, has ever survived if they encountered danger within the forbidden land.

Therefore, people are unwilling to venture into the forbidden land. Unless forced by circumstances, who would want to risk their life like that?

However, at this moment, it was time to show their loyalty to Su Yang. If Su Yang were to go to the forbidden land and they didn’t follow him, how would Su Yang view them in the future? How could they earn Su Yang’s trust again if they wanted to follow him later?

After thinking for a while, Lin Yuan gritted his teeth and nodded, saying, "Since that’s the case, then... let’s make the trip."

Lin Ke didn’t speak. He understood Lin Yuan’s intention. They wanted to earn Su Yang’s trust with this one-percent chance. If they could emerge safely by some stroke of luck, they would genuinely become trusted subordinates of Su Yang in the future. If they encountered danger, then they’d accept their fate.

After all, how much longer could they survive in this Land of Chaos? Their Spiritual Source was almost depleted and couldn’t last much longer. If they couldn’t leave this Land of Chaos, they would end up like the lifeless bodies among the branches here, waiting for survival through robbing Spiritual Source, or completely turning into decayed bones, despairingly lying on the ground, becoming dust under someone’s feet.

Su Yang looked at the two of them, instinctively aware of their intentions of wanting to gain his trust. He smiled faintly, as in fact, he was also testing them. If these two didn’t even have the courage to follow him to the forbidden land, then he truly wouldn’t rely on them in the future.

If these two dared to follow Su Yang to the forbidden land, it demonstrated their courage. Such people, as long as they remained loyal to Su Yang, would certainly be able to accomplish many things for him in the future.

"Don’t worry, when we get there, you don’t need to go in. I can go in myself!" Su Yang said with a smile.

Lin Yuan immediately replied, "No problem, Brother Tianxiang, we’re going in with you. After all, you saved our lives, and when going to the forbidden land, we brothers are still somewhat familiar with it, so it’s most suitable for us to lead the way for you!"

Su Yang chuckled, finding these two brothers rather cunning. If they truly stayed outside and didn’t go in, Su Yang wouldn’t really rely on them either. But now, these two dared to go in with him, showing they were indeed worth relying on!

After exchanging a few words, Su Yang followed the two brothers as they headed straight for the forbidden land.

According to what those two brothers knew, there were a total of five forbidden areas here. The two brothers had only been through two of these forbidden areas.

They first led Su Yang to the nearest forbidden area, and upon reaching the fork outside the forbidden area, their expressions noticeably grew solemn.

"Brother Tianxiang, once you step into this fork, you’ll be entering the forbidden area!" Lin Ke said seriously. "The forbidden area refers to the entire path inside the fork. This passage is extremely dangerous. So, if we have anything to do inside, let’s avoid wasting time; let’s do it quickly and come out immediately. The longer we stay inside, the greater the chance of encountering danger!"

Su Yang nodded, without hesitation, he went ahead into the fork.

As for the three Crystal Skulls, they hesitated, reluctant to enter. After all, they’d suffered many losses before, and every time they encountered such particularly peculiar places, they easily encountered enemies from the past life. Who knew if there were ancient enemies inside this forbidden area?

As Su Yang walked in, he noticed the three Crystal Skulls weren’t following and couldn’t help but turn back, "Hey! What are you dawdling for? Hurry up, don’t waste time!"

Second City Lord awkwardly said, "Boss, can we... can we not go in?"

"What do you think?" Su Yang glared at him.

"No, boss, our... our situation, you know..." Second City Lord whispered, "Inside is a forbidden area, who knows what situation might arise. If there are any enemies from our past, then... it might happen that they string us up for a beating. We’re not afraid of getting beaten, it’s just... we’re worried it’ll involve you and disrupt your affairs, which wouldn’t be good..."

Had he not said that, Su Yang wouldn’t have thought of it. Hearing him speak like this, Su Yang’s eyes suddenly brightened.

The dangers inside this forbidden land might indeed relate to people from ancient times. The chances of Su Yang encountering danger alone weren’t high. But bringing the three Crystal Skulls along could allow them to scout and find out what’s really going on.

Earlier, Su Yang only intended to let these three tag along to scout for the Saint Emperor. Now, he’s changed his mind; they must go in, as their presence maximizes the probability of encountering danger.

If these really were their ancient enemies, perhaps they’d come out to deal with them directly, saving Su Yang the effort of searching.

"Stop wasting time, follow me!" Su Yang directly scolded.

"Boss..." Second City Lord wanted to say something further, but Su Yang approached and kicked him inside. Anyway, these three had encountered beatings plenty, and no one was going to kill them directly; Su Yang wasn’t worried they’d meet with any real danger.

Great City Lord and Third City Lord shared a look, faces full of helplessness, and obediently followed inside.

Entering the fork, Su Yang felt a decayed aura. That was the aura emanating from the decayed bones of those Saint Emperors who lost their power, piled up here for a long time.

Such a decayed aura made Lin Ke and Lin Yuan, fellow Saint Emperors, uncomfortable. This decayed aura came from the bones of Saint Emperors and could naturally corrode the bodies of other Saint Emperors.

Lin Ke and Lin Yuan had to use energy to resist the decayed aura as they walked inside. On the other hand, Su Yang and the three Crystal Skulls felt nothing, not needing to expend any effort at all.

Su Yang and the others continued forward, walking shortly, they saw countless decayed bones lying alongside the road.

These decayed bones were once virtually invincible Saint Emperors. But after losing their power and having no Spiritual Energy supplement, they were discarded here.

Gradually exhausting all energy to maintain their bodies, they finally took on the form of these decayed bones, scattered around here. Long static bones become decayed with time, emitting a decayed aura, looking much like they died.
