A story based on the world view of Shan Hai Jing
> Yansheng has lived in Lishi Village for as long as he can remember. The villagers have farmed with Dangkang for generations and rely on stingrays to predict wind and rain.
>When he was twelve years old, he secretly hid his father's relic - a black stone, but he didn't know that it was the Zhulong Reverse Scale.
>When the strange shadows of acid and birds pass over the village, the ancient scourge beasts trample the river banks.
>When he was escaping, the scales on his palms were so hot that they turned into scale armor to protect his body.
>The dying Manray revealed a prophecy: "Go to the Central Kingdom... Only the blood of Wu Xian can calm the wrath of Zhulong..."
> Yansheng lowered his head and saw black scales spreading along his arms.
