The King of Beast Trainers

110  Chapter 81: Is the Divine Deer Still Alive?_1
"A major discovery?"
Lu Ran's body shook, and he turned to Lu Xiaowu, asking, "What discovery?"
"The Divine Deer our village worships... might still be alive!"
Just as Lu Ran was about to ask the speaker to "elaborate," Lu Dingding interjected, "Don't believe his nonsense... I think it's just superstitious beliefs of the old folks."
"Are you even from Lu Family Village or not?" Lu Xiaowu looked at him with dissatisfaction.
"Now that the spiritual energy has revived, what's wrong with believing a bit? After all, it costs nothing."
With that, he turned his head to look at Lu Ran and said, "In fact, the village still holds onto such a legend."
"Legends say that in ancient times, with ghosts rampaging, many members of the Human Tribe sought protection by serving powerful beings akin to spirits, relying on them for survival."
"Even though these spirits also demanded infants and flesh as offerings, many human clans accepted it, since the ghosts outside were ferocious."
"Of course, there were also some kinder spirits who would shelter humans unconditionally, and our ancestors, they happened to encounter such a spirit, which was the Divine Deer."
"In fact, under the protection and guidance of the Divine Deer, we even took up weapons to hunt ghosts together; this was the origin of Lu Family Village's hunting tradition..."
"Until... a tremendous calamity arose, a ghost appeared that even the Divine Deer could not match, and the entire clan had to migrate, suffering heavy losses in the process."
"It was because of this event that the Divine Deer stayed behind to cover the clan's escape, ultimately vanishing without a trace."
"Later, it's said that some people from the village returned in search of it, but they found no trace of the powerful ghost or the Divine Deer."
Hmm... Quite a typical myth.
Lu Ran pondered and said, "How did you come to the conclusion that the Divine Deer is still alive?"
Lu Xiaowu replied, "Because there are elders in the village who say that the Divine Deer often appears in dreams to the people of Lu Family Village."
"Some people dreamt of the Divine Deer suppressing ghosts, waiting for rescue."
"Some dreamt of the Divine Deer being gravely wounded in that battle, forced to reincarnate."
"Others dreamt of the Divine Deer not dead, merely feeling tired and completely retiring."
"... I could daydream for a while during the day, and at night, I could have seven or eight such dreams." Lu Dingding spoke up again dismissively: "Even having a heart-to-heart with the White Bone Demon or the Spider Spirit in dreams isn't impossible to achieve."
Lu Bing kicked him, but Lu Yi next to her felt there was some crude truth to the statement...
Daytime thoughts lead to nighttime dreams. Since Lu Family Village has legends of the Divine Deer, it would leave an impression, making similar dreams normal. One certainly can't take such things as evidence.
"Dreams, huh?" murmured Lu Ran, who thought differently from the rest of Lu Family Village because he was 100% certain that a creature like the Divine Deer existed.
Otherwise, where did the Deer Horn of God come from?
As for the prophetic dreams, he was half a believer.
Indeed, dreams are not reliable, but he had his own experiences with premonition dreams, so he couldn't completely dismiss them as false either.
So, could it be possible that his abilities to awaken superpowers and have premonition dreams were due to his background with Lu Family Village and the strength of the Divine Deer?
"Are there any records indicating which type of prophetic dream is the most common?" Lu Ran asked.
Lu Xiaowu shook his head, "No..."
"Lu Ran, do you believe in the Divine Deer?" Lu Bing asked curiously. She felt that Lu Ran took the legend of the Divine Deer more seriously than the younger generation of Lu Family Village.
The younger generation of Lu Family Village had long stopped believing in such legends.
"If it were before, I certainly wouldn't have believed it either, but you've seen the changes in Blue Star. Who dares to say that there were no extraordinary beings in the ancient past?" Lu Ran smiled.
"But let it go, it's too long ago to dwell on that now."
At that moment, Lu Ran had a new thought—in the future, he must contract a Pet Beast with the attribute for scouting and fuse it with an attribute for searching, just like a Hunting Dog sniffing out a scent, to use the Deer Horn of God as a clue to search the vast land of Blue Star to see if the traces of the Divine Deer could truly be found.
That moment, Lu Ran thought of Manager Ying.
She seemed to have a Time Attribute skill that could be used for searching for people.
Hmm... In the future, he also wanted to get a Pet Beast with the Time Attribute; it seemed very useful.
"Why are you all here? I remember, Lu Family Village should be near the mountains, right...?" Lu Ran suddenly wondered if the village in the countryside might have encountered any danger with the revival of spiritual energy.
"Have the Mutant Beasts nearby caused any damage to Lu Family Village??" he quickly asked.
But just after asking, Lu Ran felt he was being overly concerned. After all, the number of Beast Trainers in Lu Family Village was not inferior to some large cities...
"That..." Lu Bing said with a smile, "Actually, the large Ferocious Beasts around Lu Family Village have long been gone, and what's left are just some wild boars. Lu Family Village has already transitioned to the breeding industry."
"We have to thank this revival of spiritual energy. Many families in the village have the habit of raising hunting dogs, and through this event, many hunters who weren't Beast Trainers have also acquired extraordinary beings as partners. Although there were some accidents in the process, overall, the benefits outweigh the setbacks."
"Now, Lu Family Village can be said to have armed itself from top to bottom; even the groups of wild boars can't do anything to us."
"..." Lu Ran looked bemused; it was indeed Hunter's Village.
"Anyway, let's add each other as friends first, and I'll give you my real-world contact methods. If there's anything you need my help with, you can contact me," Lu Ran said.
