Aside from exploring the area, Zhao Kai also labeled everything he had witnessed and the dangers of the area. 

The meticulous work done somehow made Xu Feng suspicious of something and as he pondered deeply, piecing the puzzles together, he finally understood one thing.

"Shadow Blade, did you drop a few levels because you died too many times from marking these?" Xu Feng asked coolly.

'Damn, so he was actually higher level than me, but lost it because of dying.' Xu Feng cursed silently, having realized the debuff was truly taking a toll on him.

"How many more secrets are you concealing from me?" He subsequently asked, clearly wanting to know just how far he had advanced.

"Well, not as much as you, that's for sure." Zhao Kai responded cheekily.
