The air was filled with the stench of blood, and the blood spilled by the furious harpy witch dyed a large area nearby red.
Yi Qiu is not in a hurry to exit the secret realm, he is in good condition now.
Although the Hunyuan Body consumes a lot of energy, the recovery effect is also very good.
Yi Qiu touched his bald head. The Dwarf Treasure House is almost finished now, with only the last three levels and extra levels that are not necessarily required to be completed.
Level 3, as a level named after the secret realm, has a challenge level as high as 10+.
Yi Qiu thought that given their current strength, it would probably be a very difficult task.
So Yi Qiu planned to explore the situation first, and then see if he could integrate relevant strategies.
Level 10 is a threshold. In the culture of some planes, everyone below level 10 is called an apprentice. Only after reaching level 10 can one be called a formal professional.
And this is also because many professions slowly begin to show their inherent characteristics at level 10 or above. For example, the key skill of a monk to increase spell resistance cannot be revealed until level 10.
Yi Qiu's current goal is to upgrade as soon as possible and gain spell resistance.
Otherwise, it would be really difficult to deal with certain mages who hit their faces with fireballs.
For Yi Qiu, the items dropped from the secret realm are not what attracts him. What interests him is the huge general experience reward obtained by killing the boss.
As the level increases, Yi Qiu now has an increasing need for general experience.
The general experience reward given by the leader of the secret realm is quite rich. Compared with the general experience reward of the dungeon, it can be equivalent to the clearance reward of a medium-grade dungeon.
Judging from the previous kills of bosses, there must be a close connection between the general experience rewards given by the boss and the boss level.
If he can kill the leader of the dwarf treasure house, Yi Qiu estimates that the general experience reward will be extremely rich.

Because Lev took out the shield that released the light spell, the darkness in the underground space has returned to its previous state.
Fortunately, the dark vision previously applied still lasts for less than half, otherwise Yi Qiu would have had a difficult time with very little energy left.
Yi Qiu walked in the direction in which the Harpy Witch came, and occasionally saw traces of crypt spiders on the ground.
Thinking about the scene where he saw the crypt spiders killing the harpy witch, Yi Qiu thought that they should be different components of some kind of food chain.
Soon Yi Qiu discovered the location of the Harpy Witch's lair:
There are many huge stones here, and the Harpy Witch built her nest on the stones, away from the ground.
Because the level leader was killed, the place is now silent, with only the empty lair staring at Yi Qiu quietly.
There were many signs of damage on the stone pillars, which looked like they were caused by sharp weapons. Yi Qiu guessed that they were probably burrowing spiders.
Suddenly, Yi Qiu's eyes condensed:
He found that there were residual traces of the Harpy Witch's nest and large areas of blackening on the stone pillars on the other side of the Harpy Witch's current nest.
Fire? Or some kind of magical effect?
Judging from the information Yi Qiu has come into contact with so far, the monsters in the secret realm are not in harmony.
They will attack each other and even hunt for food.
Apparently, a monster with some kind of fire magic ability once attacked the harpy witch's lair and walked away after a good meal.
This is obviously not a crypt spider or a caveman. It is most likely some kind of monster from level three, or an additional level that has not yet revealed information.
Because of his Perception 15, Yi Qiu is able to detect these hidden information very keenly.
Although his intelligence does not allow him to make decisions beyond his intellectual level, his intuition will allow him to make more appropriate choices.
Yi Qiu had a vague feeling that this trace might be related to the monsters in the extra level, but this had no effect on him for the time being.
One problem they are likely to face now is: the intensity of level three.

Bypassing the harpy witch's lair, Yi Qiu lurked in the shadows. After a short while, he discovered the challenge they were about to face:
A small fortress made by gray dwarves!
The rough and solid ore forms the strong main body of the fortress. The fortress seems to have experienced some kind of magical attack, with blackened colors everywhere.
The passage between the fortress and the outside world is very narrow. It seems that it is extremely difficult for an ordinary adult human to pass upright.
There are several shooting holes in the fortress, and a creepy cold light shines inside.
Yi Qiu touched his bald head and felt very troubled.
But this is indeed a level 10 challenge. For players from level 10 to level 20, the adventure journey is no longer just about saving a family or protecting a village.
Their adventure journey has already involved the subversion of the royal authority of a certain plane, and the objects of interference have expanded to the scope of the kingdom.
Therefore, the challenge difficulty coefficient of level 10 is very different from the past. The challenge difficulty of level 10 is significantly higher than that of level 9.
Yi Qiu wondered whether using an RPG could penetrate the barrier's protection, but judging from the shooting port of the barrier, it was clear that there were also long-range attacks.
It was probably impossible to watch them attack the barrier with RPGs. Judging from the size of the shooting ports, Yi Qiu suspected that they were large war instruments such as ballistas. Fortunately, there were only two large shooting ports.
And even if they penetrate the barrier, as a level 10 leader, the gray dwarf chief may not be something Yi Qiu and the others can deal with.
Yi Qiu touched his bald head and didn't have any good ideas for the time being.
He hid behind a stone and called up the comprehensive network panel:
"Do you want to exit the secret realm?"
"yes."
"Teleporting characters to exit the secret realm..."

"Yi, are you going to climb a snow mountain at night?"
Some habitual dizziness...
When Yi Qiu regained consciousness, he heard Lev's voice.
"no problem."
Yi Qiu replied.
There are many snow-capped mountains near the city where Lev lives. Watching the night view in the snow-capped mountains is a very good experience.
Observing the stars with the naked eye and using a telescope are two completely different experiences. The former is far more confusing and intoxicating than the latter.
It is said that one of the most wonderful places in the world to watch the stars is at the base camp of Mount Everest.
Both of them are action people. After discussing it, Lev packed his things and drove Yi Qiu on the road in a pickup truck.
Here, pickup trucks and sleds are important means of transportation.
Along the way, Yi Qiu could also see many huskies pulling sleds running on the snow.
According to Lev, many locals keep huskies, not as pets, but as sled dogs.
In the cold bear country, the husky looks much colder and runs bravely, just like a winter wolf.
Yi Qiu touched his bald head and gave up the idea of raising a husky. After all, he didn't use a knife.
