Chapter 513: Lost Forest Land

As for the Snowy Owl, its name suggests where it mainly lives. Even if it gets lost, it should not get lost in the humid southwestern jungle.

It can be said that the moment this thing appeared, it felt out of tune with the surrounding scenery.

What was even more strange was that the Snowy Owl landed on a branch above the three people’s heads, bowed its head as if in greeting, and spoke in human language:
"I have met the Immortal Qingtian and the three female heroes."

Her voice was like that of an old woman, extremely hoarse.

Wu Shaoyi, who had just eaten and drunk his fill, shuddered immediately, and Qin Yan even jumped up, her voice trembling a little:

"Monster?"

Yang Yiyi was fine. After all, Taoyuan Valley was full of monsters, and they seemed easier to get along with than humans.

However, when encountering a monster in the wild, it is hard to tell whether it is good or evil, so she quietly reached for the double maces on her back.

When Snow Owl heard Qin Yan calling him a monster, he seemed to show a slightly dissatisfied expression:

"The little god is the land here, not some monster."

Li Chengxi in front of the screen has right-clicked on Snow Owl's character panel, which clearly reads 'Lost Forest Land God'.

Aren’t land gods and mountain gods supposed to be very short old men?
This is the wrong impression caused by Journey to the West.

There are many different kinds of land gods in folk legends. The simplest example is to look through the Classic of Mountains and Seas. You will find that none of the mountain gods look like little old men. Instead, they are all very indescribable...

But then again, how come everything knows the Immortal Qingtian?
The so-called immortal was just something Li Chengxi made up when he met Yang Yiyi on the first day. It was relatively easy for Yang Yiyi to understand, and unexpectedly it turned out to be the right thing to do.

Snowy Owl said that he was the god of the land, not a monster. If that was true, then there was no need to be afraid, as there were no bad people among the gods of the land. But words were not enough, and the three of them didn't know how to identify him.

However, at this moment, Li Chengxi's voice came from the jade gyu floating in the air:

"What do you want to do here, Land?"

"I don't deserve it. I saw the three female heroes were trapped in the Lost Forest, so I came to lead the way."

When Yang Yiyi heard Li Chengxi say it was land, she believed it on the spot. The other two were a little hesitant, but they also relaxed a little.

However, upon hearing the keyword "Mi Zong Lin", Wu Shaoyi immediately said:

"The Lost Forest? But according to the map, we shouldn't have reached the Lost Forest yet."

"I don't know if the map in your hand is accurate, but this place is definitely the Lost Forest. If it were anywhere else, I wouldn't be able to show up."

The land gods are born and raised by the land, and cannot leave the land where they were born and raised. For example, the mountain gods of a mountain can only move around on that mountain and cannot go down the mountain.

If you insist on leaving, then give up your identity as the God of Land. In this way, it won't be long before the God of Land returns to the world.

"The land god has come to lead the way, so he must be asking for something, right?"

Li Chengxi had seen Wu Shaoyi and Yang Yiyi emphasize that they must not enter the Lost Forest, as few people who entered could come out. In this case, the land god showed up to lead the way, obviously for some other purpose.

"I dare not hide it from you, Immortal. I do have something to ask of you."

"What's the matter?"

"Don't be anxious, Immortal. Listen to me carefully."

Snow Owl said:
"This Lost Forest originated in the southern border, and it would not have crossed the mountains. It was only because a fairy had traveled here a long time ago. This person was already a celestial fairy, and her wood element cultivation was almost natural. She came from the southern border and unconsciously brought the Lost Forest with her."

It's really a detailed story. It would be better to start from the origin of the Lost Forest. "Later, when the fairy woke up from her trance, the flat land had turned into the Lost Forest. At that time, there were no mortals living nearby. The fairy just thought that this forest was very interesting, so she left a legacy in the forest, on the one hand to wait for the destined person, and on the other hand to protect the Lost Forest from being destroyed."

Are natural mazes fun?
This fairy is probably a joke...

"But not long ago, the Nine Phoenixes passed by here, and their divine power affected the inheritance left by the fairies. The Lost Forest became strange, often luring and swallowing mortals here. I guess the three female heroes were trapped because of this."

Wu Shaoyi already found it very strange. According to the map, they were still far away from the Lost Forest, so they were careful to avoid it, but they still came in.

This situation cannot be explained by being lost, it can only be said to be the effect of a spell. Or to use a more Xianxia term, it is a fairy spell.

"These days, I have been guiding those who have strayed in. Unfortunately, most mortals think I am a monster, so I cannot show up directly. I can only help quietly from the side, which takes a lot of time."

The land god will not care about people who run into the lost forest on their own.

After all, why should I care if you want to die?

But it’s different for those who were lured into the forest by mistake.

The Snowy Owl belongs to the Lost Woods. The Lost Woods lures people in, which is actually the Snowy Owl luring people in. In other words, the Snowy Owl is killing people.

This will cause the land gods to be entangled in cause and effect karma. It would be fatal for the land gods, who were born and raised without any ties, to be entangled in cause and effect, so the snowy owls hurriedly began to guide people out.

It is said that this happened because Jiufeng passed by. Jiufeng ran all the way from Southern Xinjiang to Central Plains to avoid the witch who tried to take its blood essence. Yang Yiyi had met Jiufeng face to face not long ago.

Connected!

"This method only treats the symptoms but not the root cause. I alone cannot send out all the people who strayed in. If I leave it alone, I will definitely be entangled by karma and will soon disappear."

This is a question of efficiency. Most people cannot tell the difference between the local god and a monster. If the Snowy Owl directly appears and says it will lead you out, people who get lost and come in will probably think that the monster wants to lead them deeper into the depths and wait for a chance to eat their hearts and livers. Who would dare to believe it?
Therefore, the land god can only provide guidance quietly in the dark, which is much less efficient.

It’s okay if there are one or two people lost, but once there are more people, even if the land god can appear, he will not be able to handle it.

This is also one of the reasons why the land god only appeared after Yang Yiyi and her friends were lost for three days. It was because they really had no time to spare.

Why did he show up again now...

"I ask the Immortal to help me. My death alone is not a pity, but the people must not be harmed."

That’s because Li Chengxi appeared.

In the Lost Forest, any movement will be known to the land god. When Yugui stayed in Yang Yiyi's arms obediently, the land god could not feel it, but when Li Chengxi came out to give Yang Yiyi and the others food, the land god immediately sensed it.

Realizing that a savior had finally arrived, the land god hurried over.

Simply put, it has nothing to do with Yang Yiyi and the others, but it is for the sake of the Immortal Qingtian.

After reading Snow Owl's words, Li Chengxi understood what it meant, but let's be reasonable. Li Chengxi, the Sky-Bearing Immortal, became famous completely by accident. He himself didn't even know whether it was true or not, let alone others.

The land god asked the immortal Qingtian for help, but Li Chengxi didn't know any magic at all.

But we can't say "You've got the wrong person" now, because Li Chengxi has no way to guide Yang Yiyi and the other three to leave the Lost Forest. What if the land god hears that they've got the wrong person and turns around and leaves without saying a word, what should we do then?

So Li Chengxi pondered for a moment:
"How can I help you?"

In short, don't show your weakness and listen to what the Snowy Owl wants to do first.
