Chapter 2

Chapter 2 DESERT BEFORE DINNER! ITS TIME HAS COME! A vast expanse of sand stretched out before them. Morgan's head swam--if that was the right word when one was standing in a desert biome. The voices of his friends filled his ears with questions. "HOW IS THIS POSSIBLE?" asked Ash. "Maybe we went through a different portal?" Harper suggested. "We might have gotten turned around in our rush." "No way," Po answered. "We scoped that whole area out. IF THERE HAD BEEN MORE THAN ONE PORTAL, WE WOULD HAVE

第二章饭前甜点！是时候了！一片广阔的沙滩展现在他们面前。 当一个人站在沙漠生物群落中时，摩根的头晕了——如果这个词合适的话。 朋友们的说话声使他的耳朵里充满了疑问。 “这怎么可能？”阿什问。 “也许我们穿过了另一个传送门？”哈珀表示。 “我们可能在匆忙中被调头了。” “不可能，”阿宝回答。“我们对整个地区进行了调查。 如果有不止一个传送门，我们会的

NOTICED." "We all know how this happened," Jodi said. "It's the Evoker King. It has to be." A moment of silence stretched among them. Finally, Morgan sighed. "Redirecting portals?" he said. "That is some madcap modding." Ash nodded. "IF HE CAN DO THAT, THEN HE CAN GO ANYWHERE IN THE OVERWORLD AT ANY TIME. He can secure any resource. Move mobs around. There may be no stopping him." "So why come here?" asked Harper. "If there's logic to his actions, I'm not seeing it yet." They stared at one another as they each contemplated the question. When no answers came, Po said, "LET'S LOOK AROUND." After being in the enclosed walls of the fake school, the desert felt huge. There were some low, rocky mountains in the distance. Everything else was sand and cacti. The square Minecraft sun was high above them. Morgan was grateful they didn't feel heat here or need fresh water. In the desert, they were more likely to find lava than water.

注意到。”“我们都知道这是怎么发生的，”乔迪说。 “是唤醒王。它必须是。” 他们默哀了一会儿。 最后，摩根叹了口气。“重定向门户？”他说。 “这是一些狂妄的模仿。” 灰点了点头。“如果他能做到这一点，那么他就可以随时去地上世界的任何地方。 他可以获得任何资源。 移动暴徒。什么也阻止不了他。” “那你为什么到这里来？”哈珀问。 “如果他的行为有逻辑的话，我还看不出来。” 他们彼此凝视着对方，思考着这个问题。 没人回答，阿宝说：“我们四处看看吧。” 在这所假学校封闭的围墙里，沙漠感觉很大。 远处有一些低矮的岩石山脉。 其他的都是沙子和仙人掌。 方形的《我的世界》太阳高高在上。 摩根很庆幸他们在这里不觉得热，也不需要淡水。 在沙漠中，他们更有可能找到熔岩而不是水。

"Watch your step," he said. "No one walk in any lava." "LAVA?!" Jodi froze, scanning the sand around her feet. "Okay. What else do we need to know?" As a fan of Minecraft's Creative mode, she was often surprised by details of Survival mode. Many of the surprises were

“小心脚下，”他说。 “没有人在熔岩中行走。” “熔岩? !”乔迪僵住了，扫视着脚边的沙子。 “好吧。我们还需要知道什么？”作为《我的世界》创意模式的粉丝，她经常对生存模式的细节感到惊讶。 很多惊喜都是

unwelcome ones—at least to her. "Well," Morgan began, "you won't see many animals out here. Maybe some rabbits. Hostile mobs, on the other hand, spawn like crazy at night. We'll want shelter before the sun gets low." "The good news is you can really see the mobs coming," Ash said. "There aren't many places for them to hide in all this flat, open land." "OR FOR US TO HIDE," Po said. "I'm guessing we'll be building a burrow tonight." "Like the rabbits." Jodi laughed. "You need a bunny outfit, Major Po." Ash was still peering into the distance. "Is that…?"

不受欢迎的人——至少对她来说是这样。 “嗯，”摩根开始说，“你不会在这里看到很多动物。 也许一些兔子。另一方面，敌对的暴徒会在晚上疯狂地出现。 我们需要在太阳落山前找个藏身之处。” “好消息是，你真的可以看到暴徒来了，”阿什说。 “在这片平坦开阔的土地上，它们没有多少藏身之处。” “或者让我们躲起来。”阿宝说。 “我猜我们今晚要挖个洞了。” “就像兔子。”乔迪•笑了。 “你需要一套兔子装，阿宝少校。” 艾什仍然凝视着远方。 “那是……?”

She gasped, then gripped Morgan's arm. "EVERYONE TAKE COVER," she hissed, and she pulled him behind a cactus. "WHAT IS IT?" he asked. "What did you see?" "Something that doesn't belong here," she answered. "Do you see those mountains? Do you see what's right in front of them?" Morgan looked where Ash was pointing. At ground level, there was a cave in the mountains. It looked like an entrance to a mineshaft. And in front of it… "Are those vexes?" he asked.

她喘着气，抓住摩根的胳膊。 “每个人都躲起来。”她嘶嘶地说，然后把他拉到一棵仙人掌后面。 “什么事？”他问。“你看到了什么？”“一些不属于这里的东西，”她回答。 “你看到那些山了吗？” 你看到他们面前是什么了吗？”摩根看了看艾什指的地方。 在地面上，山上有一个洞穴。 它看起来像一个矿井的入口。 “这些是烦恼吗？”他问。

Vexes were small, flying, ghostlike mobs. And Ash was right. They did not spawn in the desert. "Three of them," Ash said. "IT ALMOST LOOKS LIKE THEY'RE GUARDING THAT CAVE. THAT'S STRANGE, ISN'T IT?" "I think we left normal behind a few weeks ago," Morgan said. "And if they're guarding the cave, that must mean there's something worth guarding." Ash grinned. "Then we should find out what that something is." "Agreed," Morgan said. He looked up at the sinking sun. "Although it might have to wait. We should dig our burrow, set up our beds, and

维克斯是一种小型的、会飞的、幽灵般的生物。 阿什是对的。它们不在沙漠中产卵。 “三个。”阿什说。 “看起来他们就像是在守卫那个山洞。 这很奇怪，不是吗？”摩根说：“我认为我们在几周前就脱离了正常状态。 “如果他们在守卫洞穴，那一定意味着有什么东西值得守卫。” 灰咧嘴一笑。“那我们就应该找出那个东西是什么。” “同意，”摩根说。他抬头看着下沉的太阳。 “虽然这可能需要等待。 我们应该挖个洞，铺好床，然后
