After Lu Yao went home, he took a hot bath to relieve the fatigue of work and relax his mood.

When he came out of the bathroom, the food had been cooked and neatly laid out on the computer desk: a steamed egg, a glass of Coke on ice, a stack of peppered and salt-sprinkled french fries, and perpetual wine.

Coupled with the finger cakes that Lu Yao bought when he came back, he worked for dinner.

Being able to eat something hot in the winter always makes you feel good.

Lu Yao ate a piece of French fries, the shell was crispy, and the inside was soft and glutinous.

He gave a thumbs up to the cactus in the flower pot next to him: "Yes, my cooking skills have improved." ”

The cactus bowed slightly with some arrogance: "It's all the gods, you teach well, and your servants can learn a trivial part from your wisdom......"

"Alright, shut up."

Lu Yao raised his hand to let it stop.

Xiaohuo immediately returned to his normal cactus stance.

This cactus entourage is good, obedient, sensible, and meticulous...... But there's one problem: it's overzealous.

It's not bad to listen to it once in a while, but it makes Lu Yao feel awkward when he blows it often.

In this era, embarrassing licking equals black, and embarrassing black equals whitewashing.

Almost.

Everything is still in moderation.

While eating, Lu Yao paid attention to the pixel world in the simulator.

After resting for a few days, today he is going to launch a big operation, explore the [Black Abyss Layer] again, and push forward the exploration progress of the first layer.

It is displayed in the upper right corner.

Population: 22,318 Faith: 21,545

The last time the cult brought a lot of faith, and Lu Yao's ammunition depot was now plentiful.

However, he had to pay full attention to the next dungeon, keep an eye on the scene at all times, and from time to time he had to operate in two lines - in addition to manually operating the Deep Sea Lord, he also had to pay attention to performing miracles. Every time he enters the black abyss, it is also a kind of mental consumption for Lu Yao.

He recuperated for a few days, adjusted his condition and prepared for the next level for the second time.

The quest squad trio quickly assembled.

As Lu Yao used the key to open the golden door, the game interface once again turned into a gray abyss world.

The handwriting of [Black Abyss Layer] slowly appeared in the center.

Unlike the previous time, there are almost no ghouls on the periphery of the entrance.

Occasionally, one or two ghouls are awakened from the ground, and when they see the trio of Blood Knights, they immediately burrow into the ground in fright, and hurriedly cover themselves with stones and dirt to contain their corpses.

Lu Yao found that after Count Withered was killed, the remaining ghouls in the vicinity were completely dispersed. They no longer act together in an orderly manner, and they are much less aggressive and bold.

It's obviously a level 40 monster, but they basically rush to dig graves and flee when they encounter a blood knight, and they have no idea of confrontation at all. It's more like being self-aware.

The trio continued to explore along the previous path.

They crossed the frost-strewn area, where the withered Count had awakened, but now shattered and silent, with only the traces of battle and rubble.

The background music maintains its normal soothing tone.

There is one thing in the abyss that makes Lu Yao very unhappy, there is no small map here, so he can only keep trying to find his way. He doesn't have any advantage from a bird's-eye view either.

Lu Yao called up the [Blazing Mirror] from the inventory slot.

The first purpose of his copy today was to conduct experiments.

Lu Yao pondered. Since you have a long-range meteorite bomber like [Egil's Fire], if you can fire at the abyss and wash your face with meteorite swarms, wouldn't it be much easier to fight the boss in the next dungeon?

This beautiful idea was quickly shattered.

Lu Yao tried to aim with the Doji on the monocle, but the entire Doji was gray and could not be activated.

He was a little disappointed.

But after calming down, Lu Yao also figured it out.

The Black Abyss is essentially another world of fragments.

[Egil's Fire] doesn't have the ability to strike across the world...... If that happens, maybe this miracle will really protect the Undersea Walkers.

Just as he finished the experiment, the rhythm of the background music changed, and the BGM became brisk.

There is a case!

Lu Yao returned his attention to the abyss map.

The quest trio came to a strange area. The wind blows here, the ground is covered with a thick layer of ice, and there are condensed ice sculptures everywhere.

When the three of them arrived at this new scene, they became visibly wary.

Even the Blood Knight, who was walking at the forefront, reduced his movement speed and was wary of his surroundings.

A black cage appeared on the ice ahead.

It looks like a giant birdcage. The cage is surrounded by golden chains, firmly anchored to the ground, and contains a snowman.

This is the boss?

Lu Yao carefully observed the man in the cage.

The snowman looks normal, with a carrot nose and black buttoned eyes.

It wears a red velvet hat, a red scarf around its neck, and two branches with red gloves on its arms, ending in a pair of red gloves.

Seeing people coming from outside, the snowman in the cage enthusiastically waved his branch arm: "Hello, stranger! ”

"It's been a long time since I've seen anyone else, and you're very welcome to the abyss."

However, it was firmly bound by golden chains, and there was a black birdcage outside, as if it were a very dangerous prisoner.

Lu Yao double-clicked on the top of the snowman's head.

……

【Hero LV5】Snowman Jimmy

Health: 10/10

Mana: 15/15

Damage: 0

Defense: 0

Speed: 2

【The Undead】

For unknown reasons, it has the ability to be immortal and can be resurrected continuously.

【Curse of the Old Gods LV10】

Cursed by the old gods, he was sealed in all directions.

【Caster】

Less mana cost when casting.

【Zero Degree Field (Out of Control)】

When the ability is active, targets within Jimmy's vision area will take cryo damage over time and have their speed reduced.

【Snowball LV5 (Out of Control)】

Create a snowball to attack the enemy, and there is a chance to enter the [Frozen] state when hit by the snowball.

……

This data panel saw that Lu Yao was a little confused.

Jimmy, the snowman, is not as good as an ordinary mob outside, both in terms of level and ability.

But judging by its location and captivity within the Black Abyss, it seems to be even more dangerous than Count Withered.

The snowman staggered to the edge of the cage and waved his arms.

"You're from outside, aren't you?"

“……”

The dungeon team is a little speechless when faced with the snowman.

However, Lu Yao noticed that a negative state of [Zero Degree Domain] appeared above the heads of the three Blood Knights, and the -0 health deduction was constantly appearing, and the speed was also reduced by 2 points.

The snowman said to himself, "Further inside, is the territory of the tyrant, he is the ruler of the first layer of the abyss. ”

"The tyrant is terrible, so don't go any further."

"Excuse me, is there any light outside?"

Lu Yao is also the first time he has met a boss who can communicate in the abyss.

Under his command, Isabel said, "Why are you locked here? ”

"I don't know."

The snowman grabbed the cage with his branch arm: "I've been here for as long as I can remember, and the memories of the past have been sealed." Can you talk to me a little longer? You can say anything! ”

"I haven't spoken to anyone for a long time, the ghouls ignore me, Mr. Earl calls me unlucky, and the tyrant calls me a waste......"

"When we first met, I gave you a gift."

The snowman's two branches and arms touched his body, but he didn't seem to find any treasures that he could handle.

Finally it plucked out its red nose, touched it again and again, and finally handed it over with both hands and placed it on the ice outside.

Lu Yao placed the mouse on the snowman's nose on the ice.

……

[Carrot]: A plant.

……

Lu Yao's cheeks twitched.

It's really a carrot to eat.
