A labyrinth suddenly rose up in the Tiger Country, and a week was enough time for the news to spread throughout the country. Because the labyrinth suddenly appeared, as if it had risen from the ground overnight, the original name 'Nanling Labyrinth' was replaced by 'One Night Labyrinth'. For those who are physically far away from the labyrinth, the name 'One Night Labyrinth' is a bit more appealing, full of legends and miracles.
For those who swear that the 'one-night labyrinth' is true, the residents of the southern part of the tiger country do not believe it very much, and even scoff at it.
"Build a labyrinth in one night, and the labyrinth is full of monsters?! So magic has returned to our country?"
The Tiger Kingdom originally had magic, and there was a period of magic mania throughout the continent, but magic never rose. At the peak of the magic of the Eleven Kingdoms, the number of magicians was only a few people. Although they all have great power and are respected, there is no way to continue the inheritance.
Faced with the questioning of those who do not believe in the labyrinth, some people who are willing to believe the rumors after listening to them begin to modify the rumors according to their own ideas, trying to make the rumors more credible.
They believe that magic still exists on the mainland, so they portray the owner of the labyrinth as a magician in their story. Mature, wise, bookish, with long white hair and long beard, imposing. The labyrinth is home to all sorts of magical creatures, vicious and brutal, but subservient to the magician.
Such a person appears at such a juncture as the hegemonic military war, and naturally wants to find the Lord to serve him. It is rumored that those who can be appreciated by him will become the king of kings in this land.
Unreliable rumors are spreading everywhere and are gradually being accepted. Most of the people who heard the rumors laughed it off, and some believed it, and then took it to talk casually with others. When cooking after the topic. In addition to them, there are also a large number of careerists who have a curious attitude and go to the south of the Tiger Country.

Zhou Shu and the sick princess decided to find a strong teammate and funded him to build a team and sign up for the First Army Battle to be held at the end of January.
After a day of wandering the streets, they also heard more or less about the scale of some specific military battles. The Tiger Country is an old powerhouse. It has its own pride in battle, disdains the 'internal determination' of the victorious team, and the royal side has an unparalleled credibility and reputation.
This situation directly led to the popularity of the Songjun War of the Protectorate.
Half of the other ten countries have mediocre royal families, at least in a bad reputation among the people. The warbands of these countries believe that the championship quota must have been set within the royal family that holds the competition, and no matter how strong they are, they can't change this, so they will come to the Tiger Country to participate in the competition through various means.
In order to make sure that you are not harassed by too many such people. The Tiger Nation has set a series of entry thresholds, such as the head and deputy leader of the war group must be natives, and the ordinary fighters must have at least ten or more Tiger Nation members.
It was because of this rule that Zhou Shu and the sick princess were stopped outside, and they wanted to find strong teammates, and the same was true for other foreign warbands. As a result, there was a shortage of talent warriors in the Tiger Country for a while, and fierce competition for talents was launched among various war groups, and the daily life of ordinary city residents was completely disrupted. Everywhere there were powerful fighters fighting and brawling, and it was usually difficult for these people to even meet each other.

Leave the hotel. The sick princess looked at the gloomy sky and instinctively felt that it would not rain today.
"It seems like a good weather to find someone to fight. ”
As long as it's not raining or it's getting fire or whatever, it's good weather for her.
Zhou Shu had already passed by the street in front of the hotel many times, but he still looked around, like a young man who had just entered the city from the countryside. Aside from the architecture and clothing, he basically couldn't feel any difference between this place and the White Moon Kingdom. The same free trade. The religion and government, which are also relatively restrained, have no beggars, unlike the Western Country, which is full of clergy and poor people.
The sick princess is quite understandable about the wealth of this country, after all, everyone has a few opportunities to make themselves stronger, and the level of productivity is higher than that of a country like the White Moon Country, which is full of magical energy. Economies of scale are easy to develop.
The crops on the White Moon Country's side were strangely large, which Her Majesty the Queen had already noticed. When she first went to Zhou Shu's hometown, she thought that the crops of that strange country were too small, but now she correctly realized that the strange one should be her own country.
Despite the gods' blessing of the crops, they are still unable to resist the productivity of the continent. Ordinary farmers can borrow money to complete farm work quickly and cultivate more land. In order to work better, they are also willing to raise more children, and they also have this ability, so people prosper, and prosperity will naturally follow. Despite the continuous small wars, it is still possible to achieve a certain degree of abundance and stability.
Zhou Shu and the sick princess chatted about this country and the world, and snubbed the little sheep Mortiaz on the side. She couldn't understand the topic of the two at all, and her footsteps couldn't catch up with the two of them as fast, and she was soon left behind. Fortunately, Zhou Shu noticed it and almost lost her on the street.
"Where are we going?" Mortyaz, who had caught up, gasped, and was already exhausted just by walking, showing that she was still at the level of a little human girl in terms of body.
"I don't know. The sick princess gave an answer that made the little sheep desperate, "Just wander around, and maybe you will find someone interesting." ”
Zhou Shu and the sick princess talked about it last night, and the two had to act separately and look for their teammates. This plan was proposed by the sick princess, ostensibly using 'separation is more efficient' as an excuse, and then saying 'we will compete to find more and stronger teammates' to consolidate Tiyì. Actually, she was worried that Zhou Shu would do what he did last night.
At the end of the fight last night, the beautiful man who was fought for just a few words to the sick princess made Zhou Shu a little angry and drove people away.
The sick princess likes her man's control very much, which means that he cares about himself and will not hide his feelings, which is very good.
If the two of them still act together today, the sick princess narcissistically feels that with her beauty like a flower, she is estimated to encounter a similar situation last night. When the time comes, Zhou Shu's jealousy is nothing. I don't know how much the work will be slowed down because of this.
In order to complete the agreement with the northern god as soon as possible, the sick princess had to mention yì like this. Master Zhou had no doubts about her eldest lady, and really believed the excuse she put forward very casually.
This excuse could be seen at a glance that it was not true, and the sick princess didn't intend to spend energy on lying to deceive Zhou Shu at all, just a casual perfunctory sentence. Unexpectedly, he was trusted without hesitation. It made her feel guilty.
Walking to the bustling street in the center of the city, the sick princess waved her hand and said 'bye-bye' to Zhou Shu.
"The west side of the city is mine, and you can take Sister Morty around the east side. ”
Master Zhou nodded, and waved his hand to get a large pile of beetles in his pocket into the pocket of the sick princess.
"These are for you, don't be reckless. Don't forget to eat sugar!"
The combat power of the warriors in this world made Zhou Shu very worried. Their staying power is terrible, but on the contrary, their explosiveness is terrifying. The reason why cats are the most powerful animals in the world is because of their unrivaled explosiveness, which they will use to ambush their enemies when hunting.
In contrast, canines like wolves and hyenas never ambush or sneak attack. All descriptions of their sneak attacks are ridiculous, as they simply can't do such difficult behaviors, and their body muscles are not explosive. Canines are very durable, they will always follow their prey when they encounter it, and they will call out to their partners. The lone wolf will stalk its prey for several days in a row, scaring the target alive to the point of mental breakdown, and then attacking after making sure that it has no body to fight back.
Zhou Shu is obviously a durable canine, but he is a large dog. The kittens of this world can only match one or two in their peak state.
Once you know that, it's much easier to win. Just learn hyenas in hunting. It's good to slow down with the enemy, so that you can easily be invincible, but it's a little troublesome. Everyone can borrow power from the gods for a different amount of time, and last night he asked Mortiaz to ask the innkeeper about it, and it was said that the power lasted for about an hour.
"No matter how strong the enemy is, as long as you escape for an hour......"
The reason why Zhou Shu is in favor of the sick princess's mention yì. Mainly because he is not confident that he can win against his opponent with dignity, especially under the watchful eye of his sweetheart.
Last night's battle was telling, and he was almost pulled out of his intestines in a moment of carelessness. He decided to use as much of a cautious delaying tactic as possible, but such a sissy style of play was too embarrassing to use only in the absence of the sick princess.

A couple with their own ghosts, the couple cherished each other and then went their separate ways. The child was left to the man.
Zhou Shu felt like a father who went out of the house with his children, and he didn't know where the road ahead was, so he could only walk on the street desolately. He had seen a movie starring Will Smith - "When Happiness Knocks on the Door", and the situation was somewhat similar, and he would suddenly want to watch it again. However, the Shi Huang in the movie is carrying a black boy, and he is carrying a black sheep girl.
Not long after the lamb left the sick princess's mother, her nose smelled something that made her feel excited. Zhou Shu was also stimulated a little, and when he looked up, he found that the woman dressed as a smoke-smelling warrior was walking around the street with a sign, and no one paid attention to her.
The woman looked listless, with some dark circles under her eyes that stood out on her pale skin. Zhou Shu felt that if she had been spending the night in the streets and alleys, it would be normal to have such a mental state.
"What the hell is she doing?" With a question, Zhou Shu pulled Morty away from the woman. He is now a man with a wife by his side, and he needs to avoid trouble as much as possible, and he instinctively feels that guy is very troublesome.
It may be that Zhou Shu's escape was too obvious, and the disgusted expression on his face was not well concealed, and was noticed by the woman holding the sign. She waved her hand at the back of Zhou Shu leaving, and then slowly followed with the sign.

If you want to find a teammate with combat effectiveness, the best place to search is in an open square. Because the fighters usually gather in crowded cities, and they need a lot of open space to support their activities, they spontaneously gather in the square.
This was actually asked by the innkeeper.
Zhou Shu was in charge of the eastern district, and when he came to the eastern half of the city square, he didn't see any signs of vacant land at all.
The sanitation in the vicinity of the square was much better than in the rest of the city, at least the ground was paved with gravel instead of dirt. If you don't have a large crowd and a mountain of tables, chairs, benches and signboards, this might be a good place to sit and read a book.
"Has the square become a talent market?" Zhou Shu covered his head and felt heartache, sometimes it is difficult to start if there are too many people.
Xiao Yang looked left and right, and then shrank to Zhou Shu's leg, she was not used to being in the midst of so many humans. At this time, Zhou Shu needs to work, and she can't help but be unhappy, and she must give up part of her freedom while seeking protection, which is society.
The square was really occupied by the war group gathered in Changxia City, Zhou Shu took advantage of the fact that no one was paying attention to him, and casually pulled out a sword from the space props, hung it awkwardly on his waist, and told others that he was a warrior.
After changing into this costume, several girls immediately surrounded him, pointed to the signs in their hands to show him, and kept introducing the advantages of their battle group.
"Uh...... Why do I think I see this scene so often in school animation?"
Pushing away these senior seniors who recruited first-year freshmen for the club, Zhou Shu grabbed Morty and wanted to join one of them from normal channels like a normal warrior.
He originally thought that his alien status would be an obstacle, but he soon got a registration slip, and what hindered him was his illiteracy attribute.
"Uh...... I don't understand your words. ”
The one who gave Zhou Shu a list was a warmly dressed beard, he grabbed the quill on the table, and took the list to help Zhou Shu fill it out.
"Sue me, alien, which side of the god do you believe in?
"Uh...... I believe in the gods of my hometown. ”
"Your hometown?"
Zhou Shu nodded.
"Well, none of that matters. What about your borrowing level and the number of times?"
"Uh...... The God of my hometown will not lend strength to others......"
"Then why do you believe in him?!" the bearded man looked at the strange man next to him with a neurotic expression.
Zhou Shu habitually said nonsense: "In order to seek peace of mind?"
As soon as he said this, he was driven away.
"Wait, won't you arrange for me to take a review subject other than the written exam?"
The man shook his fist and yelled, "Get out of here, alien, don't get in my way." ”
Zhou Shu, who was treated roughly, was not angry at all, he just wanted to understand the recruitment process of this battle group. The form he just got was just an application for entry for an ordinary team member, and if he wanted to become a member of the First Army, he had to take the exam, and the more he looked at it, the more it looked like an ordinary company.
Now that the regular operation has been rejected, he is ready to show his strength and attract a little attention.
"Come, Morty, write a few words for me. ”
Zhou Shu took out a marker, grabbed a table on the side of the road and removed a wooden board, on which Xiao Yang wrote: Wrist wrestling competition, registration is free, and the winner wins ten gold coins.
Strictly speaking, Master Zhou still hasn't remembered what the country's monetary unit is, so he decided to take out his gold coins, hoping to attract interesting people.
In a square in the southern city, the sick princess is doing something similar, very similar. She occupied the table of a certain warband, hung up a banner to find people, and the content was also to break her wrists, and her slender jade hand was already holding a man's hand for the competition.
The sick princess looked unhappy and depressed. She wasn't very sure if her current appearance would make him angry if she was seen by Zhou Shu, it was very common for her to shake hands with ordinary people as a queen, although ordinary women would never do this.
Even after eating sugar, she is still not good at strength, but wrestling her wrist is only the first level to brush off those pure rookies, and the sick princess has prepared the second level for the winner. With a magic sword to protect herself, she didn't think she would lose to anyone. If you do lose, it's a good thing, and it means that a warrior worth poaching has appeared. (To be continued......)
