Reincarnated As The Hero Ring

After 2 days of journey, we finally arrive at Dalgueuil Forest. The carriage driver wishes us good luck with our mission and leaves the area.

We are surrounded by dense trees that could hide a battalion monster, darkness that could conceal a person, and an atmosphere of mystery that could cause a ship to run aground.

I was frightened by the forest atmosphere, I never thought that this forest will give a chill. But at least I am with the bronze knight, he seems not to be a scare at all as he walks towards the dense forest.

I thought this was going well but all is not well in the Dalgueiul Forest, for we hear screams coming from somewhere within. The knight search for the screams, there it is again. A woman's scream, nearby and coming from below.

It's that of a human being in pain, not the sound of some beast prowling around. The knight then moves carefully through the branches, heading as low as he can go. We find a path and follow it down.

The screams become more frequent, more panicked. It's seems we have found the source of the noise. The closer we get we now realized that it was indeed a person screams but when we arrive they're no longer here.

The screams must've come from somewhere else. The knight continues to follow the trail, but it quickly stops after we heard the scream coming from behind us. The knight then turn around and follow the noise.

For several minutes we travel through the branches, not finding the screams or hearing them anymore. However, we hear another sound instead: loud buzzing.

It's coming from the direction of the screams. We follow the buzzing sound for several minutes through the darkness. Then, suddenly, we find it. It's a wasp's nest, a huge stack of rocks and mud that sits in a large hole in a tree branch.

A black fly buzzes near us, drawn to the light of the knight lantern. The nest is stacked haphazardly in a large hole in a large branch hight above you. At the bottom of the nest is a clear fluid, and bees buzz around near it.

We then realize why the bees buzz around it. There is a corpse on the ground, covered in mud, and stuck fast to the ground like a fly in honey. Nearby, a wasp crawls out of the nest and buzzes angrily at the knight.
