"Hmm...?"
Seeing the giant bear suddenly turn, charge straight down Roosting Phoenix Mountain, and flee toward Great Wilderness Ridge,
Huangfu Yun and the two Black-Clad Powerhouses were all taken aback.
It was leaving just like that?
Just moments ago, the giant bear had gone utterly berserk over that storage ring.

"Could the beast have seen someone take the storage ring away, thought it had no chance of getting it, and retreated?"
