This was the first time the system was scanning and analyzing the data for a nascent soul realm beast, and thus it had taken it a bit longer than normal. By now, Shirong had calmed down and thanked his luck that the spear got him out of there quickly.
Because the beast was a flying beast, Shirong would not have been able to detect it using his spirit sense as the distance would have been too long. He didn't know how, but the green crystal spear had sensed it beforehand and warned him to run.
Shirong peeked out of the cave and ensured that the beast was gone before leaving it. In reality, even if Shirong had hidden in a cave, he knew that his chances of survival would be low if the flying beast decoded to attack him.
The cave was merely a way to get out of the sight of the flying beast so that it did not decide to eat him on a whim. Also from the sheer size and spirit qi waves, Shirong could tell that it was no common Nascent soul realm beast.
