"Morning dawned over the forest, illuminating the wet leaves and moss-covered ground. After a night full of mysterious experiences, Siu Jou felt increasingly convinced that a great secret was hidden deep within this forest. He decided to investigate further the ancient carvings and the glowing creature he had encountered the night before."
His steps led him back to the large stone covered in ancient drawings. He examined the symbols and the images of the glowing creatures depicted there. In the center of the carvings was an image of a large, luminous tree, with its branches reaching toward the sky and roots spreading across the earth.
Siu Jou felt that this tree was the key to the secret that had been hidden all along. He stretched out his hand and touched the carvings, feeling the rough texture and the coldness of the old stone. He knew that this grand tree might truly exist in the real world, possibly hidden in one of the deepest parts of the forest.
With great enthusiasm, he followed the clues from the drawings. He traveled north, passing by towering trees and roots that extended in all directions. The further he went, the more his surroundings changed—birdsong and nighttime creatures gradually faded, replaced by an eerie, profound silence.
Finally, he arrived at an area different from the previous sections. There stood an enormous tree whose age defied comprehension. Its trunk was thick and twisted, covered in moss and adorned with roots that stretched into the earth and up into the sky. Among its branches were small holes that looked like tiny doors.
Siu Jou approached carefully. He sensed that there was something special about this tree—like the heart of the entire forest, a place where a great secret was stored. He studied it closely, searching for clues about what lay hidden behind the thick trunk and branches.
Suddenly, from one of the small holes in the tree, emerged a gentle blue light. The glow shimmered and surrounded the tree, as if inviting Siu Jou to come closer. He felt that behind this tree, there was something very important—a secret that could reveal the origins and power of the forest.
Slowly, Siu Jou extended his hand and touched the cold, rough bark of the tree. He felt a delicate vibration flowing from within the tree into his hand. Suddenly, the entire tree trembled and produced a soft whisper, as if conveying a hidden message.
*"The one who protects and the one who is protected,"* the voice echoed, like a resonance from within the earth and the wind. *"The key to power and secrets."*
Siu Jou was startled, but he knew he had discovered something very significant. He understood that this tree was the center of the forest's power, and within it lay the greatest secret.
With unwavering determination, he decided to delve deeper—seeking a way to unlock the mystery of this ancient tree and reveal the long-hidden secret.
