Ethan had been trekking for an extended period, and now dusk was fast approaching.
Aware of the need for rest, Ethan considered stopping for the night.
His physical endurance was remarkable, allowing him to travel for days without sleep if necessary.
However, Ethan was well aware of the perils that lurked within the forest, especially as he neared the transition from Shadow Forest to the Venomous Serpent Swamp.
Navigating the swamp at night was fraught with danger, so Ethan decided to find a suitable place to rest, planning to resume his journey at dawn.
His choice of resting spot was made with great care, for he remembered an earlier encounter when he had almost been ambushed by a Three-eyed Serpent while seeking rest.
Only his quick reflexes and preparedness had saved him from a potentially lethal encounter.
Thus, with extra caution, Ethan ensured the area was safe before allowing himself to relax.
