The cave!

Delilah and Roy were drawn to the cave.

After reaching its entrance, they stopped simultaneously.

"The treant from the swamp had said that its master was in seclusion. Could it be inside this cave?" said Delilah.

She had many reasons to believe that the master of the tree monster was guarding the treasure inside the cave.

It wasn't in seclusion. It was merely using that as an excuse to stay close to the treasure for some reason.

She also suspected that the tree monster was stationed at the entrance of the left path by its masters to stop adventurers and beasts alike from venturing inside and finding the cave.

"Maybe. It does not hurt to be vigilant." Roy said as his eyes narrowed.

He focused on what he was sensing. He picked up three different kinds of energy fluctuations. The strongest one was coming from him, while the weakest one was coming from Delilah. The last one belonged to the treasure inside the cave.
