Anabella and Thiên Phong left the library with the determination to find the ancient temple before the full moon. They knew time was pressing and every minute counted.
They started their journey by studying the ancient map Anabella had found.
"The temple might be in a remote area,"
Anabella explained.
"We need to look into ancient sites in the region."
Thiên Phong agreed.
"We should also seek more information from local residents or historians."
They decided to visit a small village near the area indicated on the map. There, they met an elderly man known for his knowledge of local history and legends.
"We're searching for an ancient temple,"
Thiên Phong began.
"Do you know anything about it?"
The old man looked at them suspiciously but then agreed to speak.
"There is an ancient temple, but it has been forgotten and is barely known. It lies deep in the forest, and only those with special knowledge can find it."
Anabella felt excited.
"Is there a way to locate the temple?"
The old man nodded and handed them an old piece of paper.
"Follow these directions. It might help you determine the way."
With the paper in hand, Anabella and Thiên Phong continued their journey deeper into the forest. As night fell, they camped near a small stream and prepared for the next day.
