Wizard: You can become stronger by living life to the fullest.

Chapter 170 007: Adora and the Giant

"We've arrived, this is the place."

"That's Ado."

After navigating countless tree root slides, the two little squirrels led Rosie to a strange place.

This was an extremely open field. Rosie wasn't quite sure how high it was from the actual ground, but when he looked up, the roots and soil above his head had shrunk to an indistinct distance, clustered together to form something like a galaxy.

Strange insects were flying around in the air, and these insects could emit a bright light. The light they brought made the underground area well-lit, and if you didn't look closely, you wouldn't be able to tell that you were in a closed underground space.

"Ador, ador!"

In the very center of this underground world stands a colossal tree. The portion visible within the field of vision is estimated to be at least ten kilometers tall. Its lush branches and leaves spread out to both sides, encompassing the entire underground world. From a distance, it resembles a giant shovel.

"A world seed, truly a world seed!"

Looking at the giant tree before him, Roxi felt his heart pounding and a sense of awe welled up within him. This was a natural feeling that arises when a low-dimensional life forms face a high-dimensional life form—a pure sense of reverence for nature.

This world is home to many strange animals and plants, many of which possess extremely powerful abilities, and even wizards cannot easily offend them.

"Such powerful strength."

Nilu also showed a look of awe; even as a hellhound, she was far too insignificant in the face of such immense power.

Only the gods of ancient times can be compared to it.

"Let's go take a look."

Rosie led Nilu toward the World Tree, and only when they stood face to face with it could they truly feel its immense size.

The enormous tree trunk was like a wall or a mountain in front of Rosie; looking up, it seemed to stretch endlessly.

The little squirrel said, "I heard that giants live up there, and they even built castles up there."

Rosie raised an eyebrow: "A giant?"

The little squirrel nodded: "Yes, a giant once fell from here and died. His body is still here."

"oh?"

Luo Xi perked up: "Can you take me to see it?"

"Of course, of course!"

"We would be more than happy to show you the way, Your Excellency Wizard; it would be our honor."

Following the two little squirrels, after passing through several tree root slides, Rosie soon arrived at an open space to the left of the World Tree. There was a small, protruding hill in the open space, which looked very out of place in this vast wilderness.

"This is it, this is it, this is the giant."

"It's already overgrown with weeds."

Rosie approached the hillside for a closer look and discovered that it was indeed the corpse of a giant, lying on the ground in a starfish position. The hillside was formed from its corpse.

The body had completely decomposed, leaving only a skeleton, but it was covered with soil and grass vegetation again. If you didn't look closely, you couldn't tell that it was a corpse. Only by carefully lifting the soil could you find the bones underneath.

"These bones are still active..."

Upon seeing the giant's bones, Rosie felt an uneasy surge of excitement. Although a giant's corpse wasn't exactly a rare treasure, it was still extremely difficult to find. If he could refine it into a necromancer, he could gain a valuable asset.

It is important to know that giants are a species born with superhuman strength. Even a young giant possesses strength comparable to that of a human great knight, and a mature giant can even reach the level of a mid- to high-level wizard.

But after carefully observing the surroundings, Luo Xi had to abandon the idea—

too big.

This appears to be the corpse of an adult giant, with a total length exceeding one hundred meters. His Grim Reaper's scythe currently has a maximum capacity of only a few dozen meters, which is far too small to contain such a large corpse. If he wants to forge it, he will need to upgrade his equipment first.

"Let's find some more materials and try refining it again."

Immediately, Roshi summoned the blacksmith Baldr and dug a pit on the spot. Compared to a real Titan, the blacksmith Baldr, who only possessed a little Titan blood, was much smaller, like a miniature toy.

Rosie moved the giant's corpse into the pit and set up a magic circle on it to conceal its presence. Although the giant's corpse was not a precious item, there was no guarantee that other necromancers would not pass by and take the material away.

After finishing all this, Rosie recorded the exact coordinates and then continued on her way with the little squirrel. Next, they were heading to their destination, the Black Swamp that the little squirrel had mentioned.

After traversing the tree roots quite a few times, the little squirrel led Rosie and Nilu out of a hole in a larger tree trunk and returned to the ground.

"We've arrived, Wizard, this is the place."

"This is the Black Swamp."

As its name suggests, this is a pitch-black swamp. Thick layers of decaying leaves and mud fill the entire area. When you step in, you have no idea whether you are on solid ground or sinking into a swamp. Bare tree trunks stand all around, with a few red-eyed crows perched on them, making the place look eerie.

The little squirrel was clearly very afraid of this swamp:

"We won't go in with you, Wizard, we're very afraid of this place."

"There are man-eating serpents inside, hiding in the swamp. You must be careful."

Luo Xi nodded: "Okay, thank you both."

As he spoke, he tossed over a few more magic stones. He was quite satisfied with the two little squirrels as guides; their efforts were worth the reward.

"Oh! Thank you, thank you so much, Wizard!"

"You are the most generous wizard!"

After parting ways with the two little squirrels, Rosie led Nil into the swamp.

It was definitely not a good place; Luo Xi had only taken a few steps when his foot sank into the ground.

This did not seem to be an ordinary swamp. It was not just a simple matter of sinking in. There seemed to be some kind of powerful attraction in the mud. Rosie could clearly feel her feet being pulled down by the mud.

If it were an ordinary person, they would definitely be stuck in the mud and buried here forever, but fortunately, Rosie is a wizard.

The static force field expanded outwards, and Rosie easily changed the direction of the force, then effortlessly pulled her foot out of the mud.

Standing on solid ground, he scooped up some of the black mud from his boots and examined it closely. Sure enough, he could detect a subtle elemental fluctuation within it, and when his fingers got close to it, he could clearly see it wriggling.

"This looks like...man-eating mud?"
