Though he never entered these woods before, he was familiar with this place. Hence he walked forwards thinking that he should look around. After all, this would be his neighboring area for a long while and knowing neighboring areas is always good.

As he slowly walked forwards, he heard sounds of howls from a faraway place.

As soon as he heard the sounds, he stopped in his tracks and looked around.

Since it was from a faraway place, he thought he would not face anyone and thus decided to walk a little farther.

He lightened his steps and made sure no sound came from him.

After walking for a little longer, he decided to go back home as there was nothing interesting around here.
