"Secret Dungeon will close in 10 minutes, remaining time 0 hours, 9 minutes."
"You have killed Cyborg Cowhead Monster, and you have obtained 50 Secret Dungeon points."
"Current Secret Dungeon points: 2,750."
The Cyborg Cowhead Monster fell to the ground and Yi Qiu deactivated Eight Gates. He wiped off the bloodstains and sweat off his head, and slowly lowered himself to the ground.
To not waste secret dungeon time, Yi Qiu only rested 3 hours a day. For the remaining time, he pretty much spent it all in the secret dungeon.
Yi Qiu's eyes were bloodshot due to his lack of sleep. Along with his sweat and blood stained bald head, his charm was really -5.
On the 4th day, Yi Qiu understood the system of Cowhead Monster Playground: Cowhead Monster Playground would spawn 3 elite Cowhead Monsters: Cyborg Cowhead Monster, Cowhead Spirit, and Hell Cowhead Monster, each day it would have a new one which would change each day.
The leader was just the elite monster with the word 'king' behind it. Yi Qiu didn't pay much attention to it.
They were unable to form a 5-man party and thought about challenging a boss with a difficulty of 20, they would probably get wiped...
All the elite Cowhead Monsters would drop Art of War, but the quality was different. The best one he got was purple, giving him 5,000 experience.
But a large portion was white, green, and occasionally blue.
Yu Qiu used all the Cowhead Monsters Art of War as they had a 24 hour expiry period.
After 10 days, Yi Qiu's experience rose to 21,620, pretty much the number one received after passing a dungeon gave.
But passing a dungeon was one time off. As the person leveled, the solo dungeon's difficulty would increase. To complete the same level solo dungeon at Level 10 was a really difficult thing to do. Hence, passing a dungeon belonged to a reward that couldn't be acquired again.
The secret dungeon was different, only by getting a scroll could one open up the secret dungeon. The difficulty was limited too, unlike the solo dungeon where the challenge level and the character level were the same. When one reached the upper limit of the secret dungeon, the increase in character level wouldn't affect the secret dungeon level.
Thus, the secret dungeon was a resource that could regenerate. This was why there was a reason why it was called a reward map.
Out of the three types of elite Cowhead Monsters, the easiest to kill was the Cyborg Cowhead Monster. Yi Qiu used Flying Sand and was able to kill one. The Cowhead Spirit was one that Yi Qiu hadn't managed to kill yet as it wouldn't fall for the quicklime.
This made him really helpless. Although Douqi Strike allowed Yi Qiu to deal damage to it normally, with 10 of these in a camp, he had no chance fighting head-on against them...
The Hell Cowhead Monster was just, meaty, after using Flying Sand to make it blind, they slashed at one another and none of them died. He had to use Flying Sand once more...
Thus, Yi Qiu only obtained 2,750 points at the end of the dungeon. If he faced only Cyborg Cowhead Monster, this number would at least double.

Yi Qiu laid lazily on his sofa. After washing up with soap, his body was still steaming hot.
This secret dungeon really tired him out, but the rewards he received were huge too.
Apart from experience, the dungeon points and equipment chests were things that Yi Qiu had to deal with.
After resting, Yi Qiu sat up. The first thing he opened was the secret dungeon shop.

..."
The items in the shop were very practical, apart from the basic serums, bloodline materials were really practical.
Whether using them to raise stats or igniting bloodline model, bloodline material were very useful, and they belonged to the currency of Yi Qiu's version.
Yi Qiu wasn't prepared to merge with these low-grade bloodline materials as the effects were limited. Each time he merged with one, the price of the next merger would at least double.
However, Yi Qiu noticed that the Hell Cowhead Monster Bloodline Material could activate Cow Totem's Six Arm ability, so he bought 5 of them.
The Hell Cowhead Monster Bloodline Material required 200 points, so Yi Qiu exchanged for 5, spending 1,000. He was left with 1,750.
As for the rest, he exchanged for a Hell Cowhead Monster King Bloodline Material, spending 1,500 points. He spent the last 250 on Hell Cowhead Monster Potions.
Power and agility were things he could get using Eight Gates, this potion helped cover his weaknesses.
In truth, Yi Qiu's physique wasn't bad at 13. Before using Eight Gates, it was his highest stats. However, after opening Eight Gates, the 16 points of strength and agility were much higher.
After dealing with the secret dungeon points, Yi Qiu opened his inventory. This was the fun part.
Cowhead Monster Equipment Chest (Blue):
Quality: Blue
Type: Chest
Chest Level: 5
Chest Keyword: Cowhead Monster, Equipment
Description: This chest can only be used after the sealed period. After which, one can obtain a Level 5 blue quality equipment. This chest will randomly spawn in the elite camps in the Cowhead Monster secret dungeon. After it is taken, it will refresh in 24 hours. Merging with the same name chest will raise its quality, and the highest chest quality would be pale gold.
The Cowhead Monster Playground was opened for 10 days and Yi Qiu obtained 6 chests while Lie Fu received one. Because the monsters were the Cowhead Monster Spirit, Yi Qiu and Lie Fu didn't get any.
"Will you merge the chest?"
Yi Qiu touched his bald head and chose to merge.
"Merger success, Cowhead Monster Equipment quality increase, current quality: Blue!"
Yi Qiu wasn't dispirited and chose to continue merging...
"Will you merge the chest?"
"Yes!"
"Merger success, Cowhead Monster Equipment Chest quality increased, current quality: Purple!"
"Will you merge the chest?"
"Yes!"
"Merger success, Cowhead Monster Equipment Chest quality increased, current quality: Purple!"
...
...
"Merger success, Cowhead Monster Equipment Chest quality increased, current quality: Purple!"
Yi Qiu only had two more chests. He took out a cigarette and took in a deep breath before clicking...
"Will you merge the chest?"
"Yes!"
