He began perceiving humans as beasts and wasted his days in a drunken stupor.
Three years later, Fang Zhiyou in a drunken haze, strayed into the monstrous world he had penned—The Lion Camel Kingdom. There, he witnessed the demon soldiers invading the city, committing acts of looting, slaughtering, raping, and torching everything.
