As he walked toward the dark cave he heard a few noises which made it clear that he was not the only one present there.
He was able to pick up the smell of ammonia which was a sign that some animal marked its territory.
He thought 'Must be a tiger.'
Ryan searched the surrounding bushes to find a plant that has a high probability of growing in this region.
He was searching for a small plant with egg-shaped leaves and soon he found what he wanted.
Before pulling out the plant he covered his body with mud in hopes to cover his smell. After covering his entire body he pulled the plant and started chewing on its roots and rubbed the leaves on his palms.
After making sure that he was feeling alright he walked towards the cave carefully. He wanted to lower the noise he made while walking or else there would be no use in covering his body with mud.
