After he realizes this, he follows Gollum almost all the way to the exit, where he then leaps right over Gollum, who was at a stop. Before he could get to the exit, the ring slipped off and the Goblins who were guarding the exit saw him.
This ring gives him the power to disappear. With his new power he escapes the goblins lier and makes it back to his group. Escaping made Bilbo feel powerful and very capable.
