Due to transforming into a lion for a long time, the beast had become extremely irritable at this moment and was about to go insane. It was this irritability that often made the beast act without considering the consequences, missing many opportunities. However, the beast's intelligence hadn't actually decreased; when he realized that Yan Fei posed a significant threat to him, his irritability immediately vanished. He regained his composure and quickly decided to abandon his companions and flee.
The beast ran swiftly, but inside he felt very aggrieved. In his view, encountering Yan Fei this time should have surely resulted in Yan Fei's death, but no one expected that Yan Fei would suddenly transform from prey, being hunted, into the powerful hunter. Instead, they, the original hunters, had become the fleeing prey. This rapid reversal of roles was something the once proud beast found extremely unsettling.
