For the next few days, aliens plucked the golden apples from the rankings, but not a single human made it onto the rankings. Even the human spokespersons didn't make it onto the Rubik's Cube rankings, much less pluck the golden apples.
Even powerful spokespersons like Mo He didn't challenge the Rubik's Cube at all.
Ordinary people only hoped that a human could make it onto the rankings, but they didn't know that the spokespersons had basically received warnings from aliens not to challenge the Rubik's Cube.
There were only a total of 37 golden apples on the tree. Seeing the number of golden apples constantly decrease, more and more people hoped that Human Emperor could fight and occupy a spot on the Rubik's Cube.
Zhou Wen couldn't hear their summoning. He followed Wang Lu and company into the strange Lop Nor. The electronic equipment here didn't have any signal, so he had no idea what was happening outside.
The endless desert had been a forbidden zone for humans since ancient times. Once one got lost in it, they would die in a few days without the support of water and food.
They had a water-elemental Terror-grade expert in their group, so it wasn't difficult for them to obtain water. There was also plenty of food, so there was no need to worry. However, this didn't mean that they could do whatever they wanted. After the dimensional storms, Lop Nor was far more terrifying than before. The group walked carefully.
It was unknown if it was because of Wang Lu's existence, but they didn't encounter too many dangers along the way. However, after walking for a few days, they failed to find the dimensional zone mentioned by the Wang family.
"Third Uncle, where should we go now?" Wang Lu frowned as she looked at the endless Salt Crust Desert and asked the middle-aged man beside her.
The middle-aged man's name was Wang Huaiduan. In terms of seniority, he was Wang Lu's third uncle. He was in his forties and was only at the Mythical stage after using the Mythical Liquid. He was the one who discovered the dimensional zone back then.
"Sorry, Family Head. Back then, I walked into that dimensional zone in a daze. I only know that it's roughly in this area. I really have no idea where it is now," Wang Huaiduan said in shame.
Wang Lu had no intention of blaming him. Back then, it wasn't strange that Wang Huaiduan couldn't figure out the dimensional zone's location. She didn't expect Wang Huaiduan to remember much. All she needed to do was confirm that it was in this area.
"It's fine. It's in this area, right?" Wang Lu asked again.
"It shouldn't be wrong," Wang Huaiduan said.
Wang Lu nodded and looked at Zhou Wen, who was playing with his phone. "Zhou Wen, lend me one of your shoes."
"What for?" Zhou Wen sat on the back of the Great Might Vajra Bull and asked as he took off his shoes and threw them to Wang Lu when he heard her.
"Let's try our luck." Wang Lu took Zhou Wen's shoe and threw it out. She looked in the direction the shoe landed and said, "Go that way."
As she spoke, Wang Lu picked up the shoe and returned it to Zhou Wen.
The Wang family didn't have any doubts about Wang Lu's seemingly childish actions as they walked in the direction she had pointed out.
Zhou Wen took the shoes and put them on. He looked at Wang Lu curiously and asked, "Why didn't you use this method previously?"
"People can't have too many extravagant hopes. If you wish for too many blessings that don't belong to you, it might not be a good thing even if you obtain them in the end," Wang Lu said ambiguously.
Zhou Wen nodded. He understood a little.
Although Wang Lu's power of luck was very strong, she wasn't the Goddess of Luck with infinite divine powers. There were probably limits to her power of luck. She might not be able to resolve everything with luck.
If everything could be resolved by luck, Wang Lu would have long become the strongest human. In fact, Wang Lu still hadn't advanced to the Calamity realm.
The group continued on their way. After walking for less than half a day, Wang Huaiduan suddenly pointed at a spot in front of him and shouted, "There it is. That's the entrance to the dimensional zone."
Zhou Wen looked in the direction he was pointing and saw a lake appear on the endless salt crust. The lake wasn't big, and its surface was like a mirror without any ripples.
Wang Huaiduan continued excitedly, "Do you see that strange-shaped boulder by the lake? As long as we pass through it, we will be able to enter that strange dimensional zone. "
The strange-shaped boulder that Wang Huaiduan mentioned was a boulder that was more than ten meters tall. Perhaps because it had been ravaged by the sandstorm for a long period of time, there was a huge crack in the middle of the boulder that could allow two people to pass through side by side.
Zhou Wen looked at the crack on the boulder. Through the crack, he could see the lake behind it. It didn't seem any different.
"Let's rest here for the night. We'll explore the dimensional zone tomorrow." Wang Lu led everyone to the boulder, but she didn't immediately enter. Looking at the setting sun, she instructed everyone to set up tents and set up a temporary camp.
Zhou Wen circled the vicinity but didn't find the tiny palm symbol. All he could do was return to the camp resentfully.
Zhou Wen brought his own tent and lived alone. When he was resting at night, he saw Wang Lu pull open the curtain and enter.
"Why? Can't sleep?" Zhou Wen asked with a smile.
Wang Lu sat down and shook her head. "I need your help with something."
"What is it?" The reason Zhou Wen didn't immediately agree wasn't because he wanted to consider the pros and cons, but because he felt that Wang Lu's request for his help was probably no trivial matter. He had to treat it carefully and not let her down.
Wang Lu took out a box and placed it in front of Zhou Wen. "Help me hold this. After entering the dimensional zone tomorrow, if everything goes well, place it in a suitable place."
"Could it be …" Before Zhou Wen could finish his sentence, Wang Lu pressed her finger to his lips.
"It's good that you know. I'll leave it to you." With that said, Wang Lu got up and left the tent without staying any longer.
Zhou Wen looked at the box in front of him and couldn't help but frown.
If he guessed correctly, the box was likely an important treasure that Wang Lu had prepared. It was very likely a high-level Companion Egg.
As Companion Beasts couldn't be too far from their owners, there was no way to replicate them in dimensional zones. This was also why Wang Huaiduan hadn't experimented. It was because he didn't have a Companion Egg on him, so there was no way for him to experiment.
This time, the Wang family had come prepared. They must have prepared a very high-level Companion Egg or some other treasure. However, he didn't know why Wang Lu had placed the item in the box with him.
Zhou Wen didn't open the box to see what it was. He put it away and continued grinding the game dungeons.
After an uneventful night, the Wang family packed their things the next morning and passed through the boulder in a grandiose manner. Zhou Wen followed the team, and the moment he passed through the rift, the scene in front of him didn't seem much different from what he had just seen.
