The Adventurer King of the East

[Thrilling adventures + snake pits and tombs + jungles and islands] The pinnacle of high-stakes adventure film fiction [the fantasy of Avatar, the grandeur of Godzilla] A trilogy of short stories and films, the world's greatest book of wonders. An artistic portrayal of modern Chinese resistance history and the customs and culture of China's ethnic minorities, opposing tyranny, aggression, and crimes against humanity. In 2099, China's Taklamakan Desert has become a jungle, a base has been built on the moon, and people have begun emigrating to Mars. Liu Jin, Yuan Yi, Yan Qing, Ren Shuang, He Shan, and a hundred others fly across the planet Kepler-22b, where they are attacked by dinosaurs, wild men, and savage beasts. They are rescued by Kaili, a girl from the primitive Dulong tribe. She rides a Fengshen Pterosaur through the skies, but after she kills Prince Bulu, the entire tribe is forced to migrate. King Bulu takes his anger out on them and sends the Eighteen Demon Riders, the Ironblood Warriors, to slaughter them. Liu Jin ventures alone into the poisonous snake pit to rescue Kaili, where he happens upon a fierce battle with the Demon Rider King. Liu Jin is lucky enough to win and obtains a Nine-Headed Divine Serpent as his mount. He calls on all the tribes to overthrow Bulu's brutal rule. In the Southern Hemisphere, enormous trees reach up to blot out the sky, and dinosaurs roam unchecked. The many primitive tribes compete for dominance, with their own distinct customs and ways of life. Some tame pterosaurs and ride the winds, some live in underground cities, and others sail the seas on turtles. The region brings together the ecological landscapes of the Triassic, Jurassic, and Cretaceous periods, with rare and wondrous beasts, jagged peaks and perilous gorges, floating mountains, and numerous primitive tribes. It is like a fairyland. In the Northern Hemisphere, polar glaciers and volcanoes make food scarce due to the harsh environment. The primitive people who live there are savage and brutal, eating human flesh and drinking blood. There is also a demonic city from another realm, a place like hell. One side is paradise, the other hell: a fantastical landscape as beautiful as a celestial realm, and as terrifying as a blood-filled pit of hell.
