[Soul Transmigration into Famine Years + Random Beast Souls + Bestial Backlash + Protecting Family and Surviving, No System!]
The Great Jing suffers drought year after year. A thousand li of scorched earth, with starving corpses everywhere.
When Lu Yan opens his eyes, his father and elder brother have already starved to death. Only his widowed sister-in-law, Su Wanqing, and his young younger sister-in-law, Lin Qiaoer, remain at home.
The house is bare, even the bark has been gnawed away. The village bully Zhang Kui kicks down their door with his men, intent on taking the two helpless women as payment for a debt!
At the brink of death, Lu Yan discovers something bizarre and almost unheard of:
Only when he hunts a wild beast in a life-or-death situation does he have a chance of randomly fusing with its remnant soul!
The farming ox soul that grants a punch worth a thousand jun, the bat soul that hears sounds from a hundred li away, the wild boar soul that feels no pain...
But the price of power is an endless erosion of his humanity.
Nightmares, rage, bloodlust. The slightest slip can turn him into a beast and make him attack the family he is risking his life to protect!
Greedy villagers spread rumors and slander him. The village head, Wei Huai'an, stabs him in the back, while the tyrant Zhang Kui joins forces with local clerks to hunt them down.
The wasteland village is full of danger. Staying here means certain death!
A great fire burns the ancestral home to ashes. Lu Yan flees into the wilderness of a chaotic age with his widowed sister-in-law and younger sister-in-law.
I will survive this living hell. I will slaughter every wolf outside, and hold on to the last scraps of humanity within me!
Don't look at it, it's poisonous. The Great Holy Mother is here,
