Lu Ran observed the four people closely.

They all looked to be in their early twenties, with a healthy wheat-colored skin. Regardless of gender, height, weight or body shape, they all had a certain amount of muscles. Even the sassy hunter sister who spoke first looked extremely tough, the type who could kill five scumbags with one punch.

Facing the female hunter's question, Lu Ran showed what he thought was a friendly smile: "I think your clothes look familiar."

"My grandfather also had similar clothing. He was also a hunter in Lujia Village in his early years."

"But later, our family moved to the city and rarely went back."

When Lu Ran finished speaking, the four of them were all startled. The strongest young man among them asked in surprise: "Fellow villager? What's your grandfather's name?"

"My grandfather's name is Lu Hai." Lu Ran said.

"This name... sounds a little familiar." The female hunter pondered for a moment.

"There are many people named Lu Hai in Lujia Village, but if you want to talk about those who have moved out... Village Chief Lu Hai?!" Suddenly, a skinny hunter thought of something and spoke in surprise.

After he said this, several people quickly remembered that the village chiefs of Lujia Village were elected based on their hunting skills. The people here are tough and there are hunting activities every year, so each generation of village chiefs is very well-known. Children grow up listening to their stories, and their prestige is far beyond that of the village chiefs of other villages.

Since they lived not too far away, these people had heard of the name of Village Chief Lu Hai. There was indeed such a village chief in Lujia Village. Because his children were doing so well, they moved to the city. According to the elders, Village Chief Lu Hai's children often donated money to the village and even built primary schools and clinics.

"That's what you are talking about. He was indeed the village chief. My grandfather fell ill in his later years. The medical conditions in the village were poor, so he had to be sent to a big city for recuperation. After a long time, our family settled down outside." Lu Ran explained.

"Are you the grandson of village chief Lu Hai?!" The originally cautious people were immediately surprised when they heard Lu Ran introduce himself, and it matched their memory. The way they looked at Lu Ran was also a little more friendly. As the saying goes, when fellow villagers meet, their eyes are filled with tears.

Infinite City No. 3 spans seven provinces. It is fate to meet them under such circumstances, especially since Lu Ran’s elders are all celebrities in the village!

“We’re really fellow countrymen!”

"Hahaha, come and sit down. You're welcome. Let's eat and chat at the same time. We'll treat you." The strongest young man said proudly.

"Really? Then I won't be polite!" Lu Ran was pleasantly surprised to hear that he could have a free meal.

"I didn't expect to meet the grandson of village chief Lu Hai in Infinite City..." The female hunter said with emotion: "Well, let me introduce him to you first. This is Lu Yi." The female hunter first pointed to the strongest young man and said, "The four of us have formed a beast control team. He is the captain."

Lu Yi smiled and nodded. Judging from his size, he was indeed the strongest.

"This is Lu Dingding." Then, she introduced the thin man with a smile, "It's not Lu Dingding, it's Lu Dingding."

"Lu Bing, shut up!" The thin young man looked annoyed, very angry that others called him a nickname. He is not old enough to wear open-crotch pants, and yet you still call him that.

“Uh…” Lu Ran could only twitch his lips, trying hard not to laugh. What a name… His parents are really talented! “My name is Lu Bing, and the last one is Lu Wu, the fifth child in the family, so we all call him Xiao Wu.” Lu Bing pointed at the shortest young man among them, who was about 1.6 meters tall.

"What about you? What's your name?" she finally asked Lu Ran.

"Hello, my name is Lu Ran. I didn't expect... that there would be so many beastmasters in Lujia Village." Lu Ran said.

"It's not just us." Xiao Wu said happily: "Most of the young people in the village have become beastmasters. There are dozens of them, and they have all passed the novice trial. We are just one of them."

"Puff..." Lu Ran almost spit it out and said, "What, dozens?"

Even if there were so many beast tamers in a county, Lu Ran would not be so surprised, but Lujia Village was indeed just a small village with a small population. It seemed that the hunter heritage really added a lot of points to the village, and everyone had the ability to tamer beasts!

"Haha, there are quite a lot of people. In fact, in the first, second, and third batches, people in our village also became beastmasters..." Lu Yi said regretfully: "But even though there are a lot of people, we are also unlucky."

"How do you mean?" Lu Ran asked.

"In the first generation, everyone was just groping in the dark and fell into many traps, so our eldest brother who was chosen had an accident not long after. He is the son of the current village chief and is very good at hunting. In the second generation, we had two beastmasters chosen, but unfortunately, they both..."

"It was the same with the third generation. Everyone was prepared and entered with high spirits, but our village was like it was cursed. Every Beast Tamer didn't live long. Damn it." Lu Yi couldn't help but swear.

"Maybe it has something to do with the fact that our people love to fight to the death in the secret realm and like to team up with the same tribe to hunt..." Lu Dingding touched his nose. This is the disadvantage of the tough folk customs: it is easy to commit suicide.

In addition, the three generations of beastmasters in Lujia Village all worked in a team, so if something happened to one person, the entire team would be wiped out.

“This…” Lu Ran had never expected this to happen. He couldn’t help but ask, “Does that mean that there are only four generations of beastmasters in our Lujia Village now?”

"That's right." Lu Yi nodded and said, "Although those brothers and sisters are gone, each of them prepared a lot of resources for the village when they were alive."

"So what plans do you have? For example, joining the official organization, joining a guild or something like that?" Lu Ran asked.

"No." Lu Bing crossed his legs and said, "The village decided to set up a guild. After all, the traditional customs are here, and it is difficult for young people who stay in the village for a long time to integrate into the outside world. It is better for everyone to form a group to keep warm."

"Honestly, hunting in the secret realm can make more money than hunting outside."

"Although we are much slower than other big guilds, Lujia Village has always fought hard on its own. Who is worse than who?"

"Brother Lu Ran, do you want to join us? If you are the grandson of Village Chief Lu Hai, it should be possible. We will find someone to help you level up when the time comes." Big Sister Lu Bing said with a smile.

"Uh... maybe not. My elders want me to go to Beast Taming University first..." Lu Ran said.

"Beast Taming University?" Lu Yi said, "It's also a good way out. Most of the people in our village are hunters, and few have the talent for studying. It's hard to produce a college student in more than ten years. It doesn't matter. Since we are from the same village, we can still communicate more. If you have any difficulties, you can come to us."

"Yeah." Lu Ran nodded and said, "Speaking of which, Brother Lu Yi, please introduce Lujia Village to me. I haven't been back many times since I remember, and I have almost forgotten it. When I have time, I will go and take a look and pay homage to my ancestors."

"This... let Lu Bing introduce this." Lu Yi smiled awkwardly, feeling that he had not introduced it well.

Next to him, Lu Bing rolled his eyes and said, "You have forgotten everything about our ancestors!"

She looked at Lu Ran affectionately and introduced: "Lujia Village has a long history, perhaps dating back four or five thousand years."

"This is too long!" Lu Ran was stunned.

"Well, that's what they say, but no one can say for sure whether it's been that long. Anyway, the village has moved its address several times, and the history of the village has been interrupted time and time again..." Lu Bing coughed dryly:

"Wasn't totem culture popular at that time? Our village actually has its own totem, which is a sacred deer. The elders in the village all said that we have been able to pass on our heritage to this day because of the protection of the sacred deer."

"Even now, there is a temple in the village to worship the sacred deer."

"But this culture seems to have been lost in the past hundred years. Except for some old people, young people rarely go to worship the sacred deer, and those who go are forced to go." Lu Bing said: "We are called Lujia Village because of this sacred deer, deer, and road, so it's a transformation."

Lu Bing didn't know that when she said this, Lu Ran next to her was already in turmoil and his legs were shaking unconsciously.

Depend on.

He knew that the broken horn of the sacred deer had an unclear relationship with Lujia Village.

As it turns out, it is true.

Totem culture? Generally speaking, the totems believed in by ancient tribes are mostly fake and fictitious, but Lu Ran feels that the totems believed in by Lujia Village are real...

The official statement can’t be true, supernatural powers did exist on Blue Planet in ancient times!

And now, the spiritual energy is revived! "Why does our village... take the sacred deer as a totem?" Lu Ran suppressed his inner surprise and asked.

"That... I don't know." Lu Bing shrugged and said, "Maybe some old people in the village still know some history, but I don't think the probability is high. After all, it's been so long."

"It's not easy to believe in the sacred deer until today."

“Okay.” Lu Ran nodded. It seemed that he had to go to Lujia Village. He would not feel at ease until he figured out the matter of the sacred deer.

"Should we order some food..." Xiao Wu said, touching his stomach.

This restaurant has a self-service ordering system. Several people sat and chatted for a long time, but in the end they didn't order a single dish.

"Lu Ran, if you are interested in the history of the village, go back and have a look when you have time. We will introduce you to some respected elders. Maybe they will know something." Lu Bing said, "Xiao Wu seems to be hungry. Let's order first. Lu Ran, you order first and see if there is anything you want to eat. Don't save us your crystal coins."

“Okay…” Lu Ran smiled slightly, but at this moment, the restaurant suddenly became noisy.

Someone was shouting game terms like "public secret realm", "wild map BOSS", "go and grab monsters", etc. The restaurant was suddenly filled with a restless atmosphere, as if spring had come.
