Title: The Lost Temple’s SecretLevel: Intermediate (B)#Story : Alex, a curious history student, receives a mysterious letter that leads him on an unexpected journey to find an ancient artifact hidden beneath his city. After finding the artifact—a glowing crystal—he meets a mysterious man who warns him that the crystal is a key to unlocking an ancient temple filled with dangerous traps and powerful secrets. Alex teams up with his best friend, Elena, to explore the jungle and uncover the temple’s hidden treasure.
