Chapter 5

Chapter 5 TERROR IN THE SKIES! DANGER IN THE DEPTHS! WHAT ELSE IS NEW? Morgan got a good look at the first phantom as it swooped low over the island. At first, it did look batlike. But it was much larger than a bat from the real world, and its wings were tattered like an old, ragged curtain. Morgan could see white bones sticking out through its broken blue skin. Its eyes glowed an eerie shade of green. The phantom looked dangerous. And it was. It swooped low, slashing into Jodi. She flared red, a sign that she'd taken damage.

第五章空中的恐怖！深渊里有危险！还有什么新鲜事吗？ 摩根在第一架幻影低空掠过岛屿时，仔细观察了它。 起初，它看起来确实像蝙蝠。 但它比现实世界中的蝙蝠要大得多，它的翅膀像一块破旧的窗帘一样破烂不堪。 摩根可以看到白色的骨头从它破碎的蓝色皮肤里伸出来。 它的眼睛闪着一种诡异的绿光。 幽灵看起来很危险。 确实如此。它俯冲而下，狠狠地砸向乔迪。 她脸红了，这表明她受到了伤害。

"Ow!" she said. "I FELT THAT!" The phantom returned to the sky after hitting her. Along with the other two phantoms, it circled high above their heads. "There's nowhere to hide!" said Po. "Harper, get your bow out!" "IT'S USELESS," Harper said. "I don't have any arrows. I can't make more without feathers!" "We can fight back with swords," said Ash. "We just have to wait for the phantoms to swoop down at us." "THAT'S TOO RISKY," Morgan said. "Jodi's already hurt. How many more hits can she take?" "I'm fine," Jodi argued, but she sounded scared. Fighting was dangerous. The island didn't provide any shelter. The boats were too slow for a getaway. Morgan had only one idea for how they could escape the phantoms. But he wasn't sure it was a very good idea. Then one of the phantoms broke from the pack. It dove for them.

“噢！”她说。“我感觉到了！”幻影击中她后飞回了天空。 它和另外两个幽灵一起在他们头顶上空盘旋。 “没有地方可躲！”阿宝说。 “哈帕，把你的弓拿出来！”“没用的，”哈珀说。 “我没有箭。没有羽毛我做不出更多！”“我们可以用剑反击。”阿什说。 “我们只能等着幽灵向我们扑过来。” “那太冒险了，”摩根说。 “乔迪已经受伤了。她还能承受多少次打击？”“我很好，”乔迪争辩道，但她听起来很害怕。 战斗是危险的。这个岛没有提供任何庇护。 那些船太慢了，无法逃跑。 摩根只有一个办法让他们逃离幽灵。 但他不确定这是个好主意。 这时，一个幽灵脱离了狼群。 它扑向他们。

It was now or never. DIVE DIVE

机不可失，时不再来。潜水潜水

"Everyone into the water!" Morgan cried. He waited just long enough to make sure Jodi made it to the edge of the island. Then they all jumped, splashing into the water together. At first, Morgan couldn't see much. Everything beneath the surface was a hazy blue. But as he went farther down, a whole new world opened up before him. Colorful schools of Minecraft fish

“大家都到水里去！”摩根哭了。 他等了足够长的时间，确保乔迪到达了岛的边缘。 然后他们都跳了起来，一起跳进水里。 起初，摩根看不太清楚。 水面下的一切都是朦胧的蓝色。 但随着他往下走，一个全新的世界展现在他面前。 《我的世界》里五颜六色的鱼群

darted through the water. An entire forest of long strands of kelp waved in the currents. In the distance, a squid sped through the water using its tentacles. It was a beautiful sight. But one thing was missing: air to breathe. Morgan blinked twice, an action that brought up a menu. His health and hunger meters were full, but his air was already half gone. He took out a potion of water breathing. Before he could drink it, Ash swam in front of him and shook her head.

在水里飞奔。一大片长长的海带在水流中摇曳。 远处，一只乌贼用触角在水中快速游动。 这是一个美丽的景象。但是缺少一样东西：可以呼吸的空气。 摩根眨了两次眼，打开了菜单。 他的健康和饥饿计是满的，但他的空气已经消失了一半。 他拿出一剂水呼吸药水。 他还没来得及喝，艾什就游到他面前摇了摇头。

Morgan didn't understand. The potions were only a temporary solution, but they were better than nothing. Ash gestured for Morgan and the others to follow her. She pointed at something in the water. Something moving. It was a great column of bubbles. The bubbles rose from a glowing orange square of magma on the seafloor. They floated all the way to the surface. And inside the column of bubbles… He could breathe! Morgan took a big breath, then looked above and below him. In the light cast by the magma block, he could see the others had all made it safely to the bubbles. He could also see the shadows of the phantoms. They were still circling above the surface, like hungry sharks. Morgan breathed a sigh of relief that there weren't any actual sharks in Minecraft. Of course, there were other underwater dangers—but it was best not to think about that right now. They needed a shelter. He swam over to Harper.

摩根不明白。魔药只能暂时解决问题，但总比没有强。 艾什示意摩根和其他人跟她走。 她指着水里的什么东西。 移动的东西。那是一个巨大的气泡柱。 这些气泡是从海底一片发光的橙色方形岩浆中升起的。 他们一路浮到水面上。 在泡泡柱里面，他可以呼吸了！摩根深深地吸了一口气，然后上下打量了一下。 在岩浆块投射的光线下，他可以看到其他人都安全到达了气泡。 他还能看到幽灵的影子。 它们还在水面上盘旋，像饥饿的鲨鱼。 Morgan松了一口气，因为在《我的世界》中没有真正的鲨鱼。 当然，还有其他的水下危险——但现在最好不要去想这些。 他们需要一个庇护所。他向哈珀游过去。
