Shenbang, Longxueling

In the 31st year of Guangxu (1905), the smoke of the Russo-Japanese War was still lingering. An ancient legend circulated in the "Dragon Blood Ridge" deep in the Changbai Mountains in the northeast: there was a thousand-year-old ginseng king in the mountains, and those who got it could bring the dead back to life and become as rich as the enemy. In order to save his terminally ill sister, Liu Changshan, who was born as an Orion hunter, formed a strange team with Zhao Laozhe, the old ginseng leader, Song Xueling, the descendant of the ginseng gang who disguised himself as a man, and Petrov, a Russian mixed-race deserter, and went deep into this forbidden land that even old hunters talked about. Not only do they have to face Siberian tigers, black bears, wild boar kings, mountain pythons and other ferocious birds and beasts, but they also have to be wary of the bandits "Red Beard Gang" entrenched in the mountains, Japanese Kwantung Army spies who covet the ginseng king, and the weird and unpredictable natural phenomena in the mountains - moving swamps, "ginseng babies" that make baby cries, and "miasma mothers" that can make people lose their minds...
