Flesh fungus, known as Tai Sui, is also called the elixir of immortality.
An ancient text says: Eat it for long enough, and your body will grow light, you will never age, and your life will be prolonged.
Legend has it that deep beneath the mountains on the southwestern frontier grows a rare medicinal herb called flesh lingzhi. Eat a slice, and it can bring the dead back to life and grant eternal youth.
Though they know it may be nothing but an illusion, people still flock to it, no matter how terrible the price.
A young man named Xia Yang is part of an expedition team. He didn't come here for the elixir of immortality. Five years ago, he received a mysterious package containing a strange black stone. Ever since, he has been plagued by bizarre dreams. Determined to solve the mystery, he set off into the mountains.
Yet on his first day in Dulong Township, a strange old villager predicted that he would die in the mountains. Xia Yang, who had never believed in ghosts or gods, paid no heed to the warning.
But one day, he suddenly discovered that the teammate who had saved his life many times was not a "normal person." And even more terrifying, deep beneath the earth, where man-eating things lurked, there was another "him," exactly like himself...
