Cold Pond, Demon-Hunting Squad?

[You were repeatedly sent flying by the Giant Rock Bear's massive paws, and the injuries on your body steadily increased. Still, you were fortunate enough to escape its pursuit.]

[After resting briefly and spending several days recovering from your injuries, you infiltrated the Giant Rock Bear's territory again. This time, you were luckier and did not alert it. However, the Giant Rock Bear's territory was vast, and you had no idea where the Mysterious Tier alchemist's inheritance had been left. You only vaguely remembered that it should be inside a cave abode, so you could only explore step by step.]

[If you often walked by the river, how could your shoes stay dry?]

[You still failed to escape the Giant Rock Bear's keen senses and were discovered!]

[You fled once more. This time, you were fortunate enough to escape without suffering major injuries, which only enraged the Giant Rock Bear further.]

[For several days in a row, the Giant Rock Bear patrolled its territory. To a demonic beast like it, your repeated intrusions as a measly little monkey were undoubtedly a provocation! It was like someone constantly seducing your partner—how could you not be angry?]

[You waited several more days before the Giant Rock Bear's fury gradually subsided and it returned to normal. Only then did you dare sneak in again.]

[It was not that you were cowardly or did not dare face the Giant Rock Bear head-on. The main reason was that it possessed Mysterious Tier Middle Grade cultivation. Moreover, bear-type demonic beasts were no slouches in either offense or defense among demonic beasts. It was practically a meat-shield warrior!]

[Even a Golden Core Middle Stage cultivator of the same realm would gain no advantage in a one-on-one fight against it.]

[Besides, being "cowardly" was merely following your heart.
