The Inverted Dragon’s Scale

When Li Shepherd opened his eyes, the first reaction was that he was still alive.

He thinks he's dead.

Falling from that height, the whistling wind in your ears seemed to have lasted for centuries, and the four shattered words were the most authentic pictures of yourself.

“Where's Choi?” Li Shepherd stood up vigorously, his eyes searching everywhere.

Without seeing Choi's careful figure, his eyes were filled with desolate gobies.

The red soil is like the evening glow of the sky, empty and barren, yet a heart-shaking sadness.

Your body keeps shaking, your buttocks are raised from time to time and then quickly fall down again.

People scream horses hissing, wheels howling.

Shepherd Li found himself lying on the cargo of a carriage, and a convoy of dozens of large cars spread into a long snake-shaped formation.

He was dizzy, and Li Shepherd couldn't react for a moment and a half to what had happened.

Isn't it climbing? Didn't you fall off the mountain? Why are we in this Gobi again?

Fantasy and reality are constantly intertwined, and Shepherd Li has a nervous breakdown.

No wonder this starry college can become the most mysterious college in Shenzhou. Isn't it hard to get into the hospital? This is about putting people into schizophrenia.

“Boy, are you awake?” A tough man came over and grinned at him.

Chinese characters carry a heavy Guan Zhonghang provincial accent, which is very different from Jiangnan's Wu pu soft language, but is easy to understand.

He was wearing a light armor and a blue knife between his waists. The eyes are divine and look extraordinary.

“Why am I here? Where is this?” Shepherd Li asked eagerly.

“This is Red Devil's Valley.” The man laughed and said. He pointed his finger at the strangely shaped red sand dunes in the distance and said, "Do you think those hillsides look like red demons? ”

“Like.” Li Shepherd nodded. He doesn't care what those red dunes look like, he cares more about why he's here. “Then how did I get to Red Devil's Valley? ”

“We saved you.” The tough guy smiled softly and said. “You were unconscious lying on the side of the road, and we rescued you. ”

“You went to the Flower Plains? ”

“Flower plains? That's not true. We don't dare go to places like that. We saw you in the mangroves," the big, strong man said with a smile.

Shepherd Li has a feeling of dying.

Where's the mangrove? How many days does it take for him to walk back to Mount Doe? Do you feel weak walking all the way down the road to assassinate Shepherd Li after countless attacks?

“Why is my life so bitter? ”

“I have a companion. Did you find a girl when you found me? A pretty girl.” Shepherd Li asked hastily.

“No,” said the tough guy. “We only found you, not a pretty girl. ”

Shepherd Li mourned again for a while, feeling that he was now insane.

He feared that he would not have access to the Academy of Stars, but to a neurological hospital dedicated to the treatment of the various mental illnesses committed by the Empire.

“I haven't asked you to give me your name."

“Don't you dare.” The tough guy laughed and said: “My name is Ganyang, I am the dart of Guan Zhonghang Provincial Dart Bureau, bring my brothers to deliver the goods.”

Li Shepherd looked at the long car head and asked: "Brother Gan, where is this shipment going to be delivered? ”

“Send it to Shimen Town, then unload where, someone picks it up.” Ganyang also confessed to the destination of their trip.

“Shimen Town" Li Shepherd gently said the name, full of bitterness. This is another name and address he is unfamiliar with. He wants to go to the Flower Plains, he wants to go to Mount Doe, he wants to go to the Academy of Stars and follow this motorcade of monkeys to get there?

“Brother Gan, I want to know how far is the flower plain from here? About how many days? ”

“What?” Ganyang shocked. "Don't blame my brother for not reminding you that the flower plain is one of the ten most heinous places in Shenzhou, with few people. We sound creepy. What kind of place do you want to go? ”

“I don't have to go either, just ask.” Shepherd Li spoke plainly. He doesn't want to explain anything, and that doesn't help, it only makes the good guys worry for themselves.

Ganyang was still uncomfortable and said: "Little brother, I know you are young and bold, but there are some things you should not try easily. Live well, why play with your life? ”

He pointed to the black men guarding both sides of the convoy and said, "Our dart brothers are most afraid to go down the Red Devil's Valley. Why? 'Cause there's a good chance you'll meet a bandit. Those bandits are vicious and spicy, not only snatching goods, but also killing people. I don't know how many shipments they steal and how many darts they kill every year, but can you not come? Everyone has a big family to feed. They're not coming. What's for the wife and kids? What are you wearing? ”

“They tied their heads to their pants belts to make money to support their families, and you lived well, but you went to the flower plains to find your own way to die, and we met for a reason. When I get you out of that mangrove, you owe me a favor. If you don't give me anything else, I want you to live. Live long. Promise me we won't go to the flower plain, okay? ”

“I," said Shepherd Li, looking at his generous and sincere expression, his worried eyes implicitly. He nodded heavily and said, "Okay, I promise you.”

He's still going to the Flower Plains, just that he'll protect himself. Live long and long.

“Good brother.” Ganyang slapped Li Shepherd on the shoulder. His big, fanny palm almost scattered Lee Shepherd's skeleton.

Shepherd Li grinned his teeth and laughed with a silly smile.

Ganyang walked beside Li Shepherd and asked: "What's the name of the little brother? ”

“My name is Lee Shepherd. ”

“Lee Shepherd? Sheep herding, good name. We also have horse wranglers in our dart station who can help us keep an eye on the runaway horses.” Ganyang laughed and said.

When I heard the laughter from this side, a few young darts came around to joke with me.

One of them, a young man named Gan Liang, was similar in age to Lee Shepherd, but proudly said he had been walking for three years. That is, while Lee Shepherd was still studying at school, he had gone north with these big men to eat sand and earn a family meal for the sun.

Sweet face is black and red, but has the pure black eyes that teenagers have.

He was very fond of Lee Shepherd and kept asking him questions.

Lee Shepherd said to him, at his age, how did he come out to be a dart master when he was supposed to be in school?

Gan Liang said he had no chance to study in his life, but he had to save a lot of money for his son to read if he could marry a housewife.

After he found out that Lee's shepherd's home was in Jiangnan City, he looked toward him and said: "My father went to Jiangnan City, he said it was the richest and most beautiful city in the Empire. One day I will also go to Jiangnan City with a long team of darts. ”

Ganyang's face was a little sad when he heard the words.

Ganyang whispered to Li Shepherd while Gan Liang hit the horse and drank the horse. He said: "Gan Liang's father is also the dart master of our dart bureau. He was killed by bandits on the way to Dart Road and walked through the Red Devil Valley. There is a rule in our dart master industry that the father is dead and the son is dead. My son is dead and my son continues to take over. When Gan Liang was just over the height of one person, he had already walked with us to dart. There was no way. My mother was sick, two bowls of medicine a day, and there was no way to live. ”

Shepherd Li was heartbroken. He reached out and touched the gold coin in his arms, thinking of giving half of it to Gan Liang when he left. That would ease the burden on his life. At least the money could go to his mother for medication. I went to Starry Academy myself, and there shouldn't be too much money to spend.

At this point, smoke rolled up right in front of us, rapidly attacking this way.

“Not good.” Ganyang shocked, looking in the direction of the smoke, shouted, "The sandpipers are coming.”

It's not smoke, it's sand in the sky that the sand thieves carry when they run.

“There's a pirate."

“Here comes the pirate.”

After listening to Ganyang's early warning, the merchant team immediately got busy.

The convoy at the front stopped and the convoy at the back hurried up and circled with them in a small circle. The horsehead turned towards the inside of the circle and the cargo was topped at the outermost periphery to prevent the enemy from attacking. Some of the executives in the merchant team hide in the center of the encirclement, fearfully and fearlessly.

Ganyang commanded dozens of darts in two rows, blocking the front of the convoy. Meet the burglars heading straight for the storm. They moved quickly and smoothly, without any disturbance. Looks like a lot of training.

The merchants brought them here to protect the safety of the cargo personnel. This is the time for them to work hard.

The thin, bright body was also in between, and the short cut was like being surrounded by a bunch of hens in the middle of the puppy.

Li Shepherd's heart squeezed tight and shouted, “Sweet.”

Turn around bright, black and thin with perseverance and hatred.

He also looked nervous, his knife gripping hands trembling slightly. But still smiling hard, he shouted to Li Shepherd, "Don't be afraid, we'll protect you."
