You couldn't find any

You spent hours exploring the outside, going through forests, swamps and even old dungeons not finding a single hero. By nightfall, you made camp near some hot springs. Hungry, you pick some mushrooms surrounding the spring. You ate them raw, they taste like chicken. You look into the springs and see the starry night sky is reflected by the calm water.

There is a rustling noise in a nearby bush, you don't notice it. A figure comes from the bush, slightly crouching your way. You store the mushrooms into your bag, then a twig snaps behind you. You turn around to see what made that noise.
