Tanah Lot in Bali.Id: Di tengah semilir angin basah dan suara deburan ombak, Dewi berdiri sambil memegang erat tas punggungnya.En: Amidst the gentle breeze and the sound of crashing waves, Dewi stood holding tightly onto her backpack.Id: Hawa musim hujan membuat aromanya segar, meskipun tanah di sekitar terasa licin.En: The rainy season's air made the aroma fresh, even though the ground around felt slippery.Id: Pemandangan yang biasanya ramai dikunjungi turis kini sepi, menyisakan suara desiran angin dan suara ombak yang menghantam batu karang.En: This usually tourist-filled sight was now quiet, leaving the sound of the whispering wind and waves crashing against the rocks.Id: "Dewi, jangan jauh-jauh, ya!En: "Dewi, don't wander too far, okay!Id: Ingat kita di sini untuk belajar," seru

enthusiasm.Id: Arief menggeleng, "Ini bukan ide yang bagus, Dewi.En: Arief shook his head, "This isn't a good idea, Dewi.Id: Pura ini besar dan bahaya kalau nyasar.En: This pura is big, and it’s dangerous if we get lost."Id: "Namun, rasa penasaran Dewi sudah terlanjur berkobar.En: However, Dewi's curiosity had already flared up.Id: Dia melanjutkan langkahnya diikuti dengan sedikit ragu oleh Arief.En: She continued her steps, followed with slight reluctance by Arief.Id: Mereka menyusuri jalan setapak yang dibatasi oleh pohon-pohon tinggi dan semak basah, mengikuti Sari dari kejauhan.En: They traced a narrow path bordered by tall trees and wet bushes, following Sari from a distance.Id: Hujan mulai turun dengan deras, memaksa ketiganya mencari perlindungan di bawah naungan sebuah batu besar.En: Rain began to pour heavily, forcing the three of them to seek shelter under the shade of a large rock.Id: Di balik batu itulah, mereka menemukan area tersembunyi, tempat ritual kuno, seperti
