The experience points bar from his status screen continuously rose, satisfying Xu Feng greatly.
How long had it been since he last witnessed a large increase in experience points?
Although it wasn't really that long, just the pain of knowing that you got a 99% debuff in experience points hurts deeply.
Some minutes later, the Abyssal Phantom effectively wiped out all the remaining Gargantuan Beetles, prompting a 10% increase in experience points in the bar.
"Sure enough, it's already getting harder to level up." Xu Feng jumped down from the tree branch and began collecting the loots that were dropped by the beetles.
None of them were rare drops, but they were still somewhat useful. As for the completely useless ones, Xu Feng didn't even bother to pick them up.
After all, the system would automatically "clean" them up after a certain time limit.
By cleaning, it simply meant they would just glitch a while before disappearing from the scene.
Thus, Xu Feng continued on with his journey, as well as making a mark on this location for being a potential habitat for the Beetles.
Sometime later, numerous monsters continuously emerge from out of nowhere.
From small to big monsters, each one of them was quite cunning. However, under the surveillance of the Abyssal Phantom, they were all promptly taken care of.
At the same time, Xu Feng's map began to look cramped, having been forced to zoom in to mark them more precisely. When the map was zoomed out, it was merely a bunch of marks overlapping each other.
Naturally, Xu Feng wasn't randomly marking, but the potentiality of the location of the dimension being located.
A separate dimension was usually the core and the centric position of where these monsters could possibly come from. And to pinpoint the location, these monsters' appearance would give him the answer.
Just like that, Xu Feng spent numerous hours marking the map and gaining tons of experience points in the process.
His level had increased by 1, becoming level 12.
Since her luck was out of this way, then maybe... just maybe the empty cave might become the key to his discovery.
Without hesitation, Xu Feng quickly sent her a message, instructing her to use the token to come to Star Falls City and he shall wait for her at the Vanguard Hotel.
Once the message was sent, Xu Feng was no longer idle at the Frontier Fields and opted to teleport back to the Vanguard Hotel.

Riverwood Town
Carmen, who was preparing to log out after sending a message to Xu Feng, was dumbfounded on the spot.
'Feng wants me to meet him now?' Confused, Carmen didn't know if she should refuse him.
However, when she recalled how he had assisted her in the previous mission, she would be rude to reject his request.
Not to mention, she merely wanted to log out simply because she didn't want to game too much and get addicted to the Divine World.
After all, she was an employee working for a somewhat big marketing company. Although she worked remotely and completed her assigned tasks, she received an email that wanted her to head to the main office.
Looking at the time right now, Carmen knew she still had a little bit over ten hours left. She rested her hand softly on her chin before deciding to break her routine this time.
Once that was decided, Carmen went to the Teleportation Platform and searched for the guard.
Upon being spotted by the guard, he was startled. "Miss Lunar Wraith, why have you returned? Is there something wrong?"
Just earlier, he had given her the token requested by Xu Feng after confirming her identity. He even went as far as asking if she wished to teleport right away, only for her to reject it. Hence, he was startled to see her return so soon.
An awkward expression appeared on Carmen's face, seemingly embarrassed.
"Yeah... about that, may I be teleported now. I have a change of heart."
