Jack immediately shushed everyone in the group. He had heard something in the distance, and it set off his alarms. He bent his body low to hide in the trees.
Everybody saw Jack's body language conveying caution, so they followed suit. In these dangerous areas, it would be best if they could stay stealthy.
Jack walked step by step, making sure that his footsteps do not make any sudden sound. He gestured on the ground to make sure that everybody stays quiet.
As he got closer and closer, he heard the sounds of a campfire crackling in the distance. The sound was accompanied by a myriad of hushed voices that indicated life.
Jack stopped in his tracks. There were definitely other people in this forest. He squinted his eyes and he saw a faint bit of red light on the horizon, meaning they were close to the camp.
