    New book, "Dog's Path," a multi-female protagonist novel, quite interesting. It's a fantasy cultivation story with multiple female leads, featuring a decomposition and synthesis system, a cunning old man, a survivalist approach, five spiritual roots, and a penchant for using an invisible flying sword to ambush people.

If enough readers enjoy them, I will keep adding comics to the main text. This is not a cautious-survival novel. Cautious survival is only Ling Tian's wish, not the path he ultimately follows. In the early chapters, he farms, gathers herbs, and does business, building up his resources one step at a time. Blood is shed around Chapter 50, and from then on, the story keeps climbing.

    😗😗😗 This is a story that blends elements of apocalypse, zombies, alien beasts, a system-based narrative, and multiple female protagonists. Su Yu drives the high-tech RV "Galaxy" to sweep through zombies and alien beasts, harvesting resources, exploring secret realms like Sanxingdui and the Bermuda Triangle, and even recruiting a cool school beauty and a sickly loli to form a "beauty army." The plot is rich and diverse, offering a truly exhilarating experience.
