Chapter 5

Chapter 5 BURIED SECRETS! BUT JUST SO YOU KNOW, ONE OF THE SECRETS IS SPIDERS. They returned to the game that afternoon. Ash breathed a sigh of relief as her blocky avatar took form. She was standing in the desert burrow they'd built the night before. Part of her had worried that the school's tech problems might cause their headsets to glitch. But she was too curious about the desert mineshaft to wait any longer. She could tell Morgan felt the same. His avatar rubbed its cube hands together. "I've been thinking," he said, "about how to handle those vexes. Or rather…about how not to handle them."

第5章埋藏的秘密！但你要知道，其中一个秘密是蜘蛛。 那天下午他们又回到了赛场。 阿什松了一口气，她那块状的化身成形了。 她站在他们前一天晚上建的沙漠洞穴里。 她有点担心学校的技术问题可能会导致他们的耳机出现故障。 但是她对沙漠的矿井太好奇了，不能再等下去了。 她看得出摩根也有同样的感觉。 他的化身搓着它的立方体手。 “我一直在想，”他说，“如何处理这些烦恼。 或者更确切地说……关于如何不去处理它们。”

Ash nodded. "LET'S HEAR IT." "We keep taking the direct approach," Morgan went on. "BUT THERE'S ALWAYS MORE THAN ONE WAY TO DO SOMETHING IN MINECRAFT. Why walk up to those vexes and get into a fight when we can go around them?" "You want to look for a back door?" asked Po. "I WANT TO MAKE A BACK DOOR," Morgan answered. "Also, why do you look like a rabbit?" Po struck a pose, modeling his new skin. "It was Jodi's idea." "LET'S FORGET ABOUT PO'S ADORABLE BUNNY EARS AND COTTON TAIL FOR A MINUTE," said Harper. "Morgan, you want to dig through the mountain?" "Exactly," Morgan said. "If we dig through the rock, we should eventually intersect the mineshaft. Then we can avoid a fight." "SOUNDS SENSIBLE TO ME," Ash said. "Especially given the state of my sword," Jodi said. She held up a broken iron blade. "It shattered the last time I used it."

灰点了点头。“让我们听听。” “我们一直采取直接的方法，”摩根继续说。 “但是在《我的世界》中总是有不止一种方法去做某事。 既然我们可以绕过这些麻烦，为什么还要走到它们跟前和它们打架呢？”“你想找个后门吗？”阿宝问。 “我想做个后门，”摩根回答。 “还有，你为什么看起来像只兔子？”阿宝摆了个姿势，展示他的新皮肤。 “这是乔迪的主意。”“让我们暂时忘掉阿宝可爱的兔子耳朵和棉花尾巴吧，”哈珀说。 “摩根，你想挖穿这座山吗？”“没错，”摩根说。 “如果我们挖穿岩石，我们最终会穿过矿井。 这样我们就可以避免打架了。” “听起来很有道理，”阿什说。 “尤其是考虑到我的剑的状况，”乔迪说。 她举起一把破铁刀。 “我上次用它的时候就碎了。”

Morgan rolled his eyes. "JODI, YOU HAVE TO TAKE CARE OF YOUR EQUIPMENT! You should have said something." "I'm saying something now," Jodi said. "Why don't you sit this mission out," Morgan suggested. "You can be our lookout. Hang back and make sure the vexes don't follow us." Ash knew Jodi wouldn't like that. Morgan could be overprotective at times, and it always got under his little sister's skin. If their avatars could blush, Jodi's face would be bright red. "You want to leave me here?" she said. Her

摩根翻了个白眼。“乔迪，你必须照顾好你的设备！”你应该说点什么。” “我现在有话要说，”乔迪说。 “你为什么不参加这次任务呢？”摩根建议道。 “你可以帮我们把风。退后，别让那些烦恼跟着我们。” 阿什知道乔迪不会喜欢这样。 摩根有时会过度保护自己，这总是让他妹妹很生气。 如果他们的化身会脸红，乔迪的脸就会是鲜红的。 “你想把我留在这儿？”她说。 她的

voice was strained. "I THINK WE ALL NEED TO STICK TOGETHER," Ash said, wanting to head off a situation between the siblings. "If Morgan's plan WORKS, WE WON'T EVEN USE OUR WEAPONS." "And I can lend Jodi my bow, just in case," Harper added. "Fine," Morgan said. "Just be careful, Jodi." "Let's all be careful," said Po, his bunny whiskers twitching. "Like always."

声音有些紧张。“我认为我们都需要团结在一起，”阿什说，他想阻止兄妹之间的矛盾。 “如果摩根的计划成功了，我们甚至不用动用武器。” “我可以把我的弓借给乔迪，以防万一，”哈珀补充道。 “好吧，”摩根说。“小心点，乔迪。” “我们都小心点，”阿宝说，他的兔子胡子在抽动。 “像。”

"Let's gather our beds and make a few torches," Ash said. "We'll head out in a minute." While the others got to work, she pulled Morgan aside. "HEY, GO EASY ON YOUR SISTER," she whispered. "For someone who wants to avoid unnecessary fights, it seemed like you were trying to pick one." "Sorry," Morgan whispered. He looked like he wanted to say more, but he hesitated. "What's wrong?" Ash prompted. Morgan sighed. "I just don't want anything to happen to her. WHEN THAT WITHER SKELETON ATTACKED HER YESTERDAY, MY HEART ALMOST STOPPED." "But you were there to protect her," Ash reminded him. "Just like she's protected you." She

“我们把床收拾起来，做几个火把。”阿什说。 “我们马上就出发。” 当其他人开始工作时，她把摩根拉到一边。 “嘿，对你妹妹好点，”她低声说。 “对于一个想避免不必要的争吵的人来说，你似乎在努力选择一个。” “对不起，”摩根低声说。 他看上去想再说些什么，但又犹豫了。 “怎么了?”灰了。 摩根叹了口气。“我只是不希望她出什么事。 昨天那个枯槁的骷髅袭击她的时候，我的心都快停止跳动了。” “但你在那里保护了她。”阿什提醒他。 “就像她保护你一样。” 她

patted him on the shoulder. "You're a good big brother. But Jodi's a part of this, and there's no changing that." "You're right." Morgan nodded. "EVERYBODY READY?" Harper asked, taking a torch from the wall. Ash and Morgan shared a look. "Let's do it," Morgan said. "ALL TOGETHER." They approached the mountain from the side, staying out of the vexes' line of sight. In the silence, Ash pondered how strange it was to find those mobs here. It wasn't just that vexes weren't supposed to spawn in the desert. They weren't supposed to spawn anywhere. As far as she knew, they were always created by evokers. And they only existed a few minutes before disappearing. Since the Evoker King had named himself after the game's magic-wielding illagers, maybe he had a soft spot for vexes. That made a certain

拍了拍他的肩膀。 “你是个好哥哥。 但乔迪是其中的一部分，这是无法改变的。” “你说得对。”摩根点点头。 “每个人都准备好了吗?”哈珀问，从墙上拿了一支火把。 阿什和摩根互相看了一眼。 “就这么办吧，”摩根说。 “在一起”。他们躲在敌人的视线之外，从侧面走近了那座山。 在一片寂静中，艾什在想，在这里发现这些暴徒是多么奇怪。 这不仅仅是说沙漠里不应该产卵。 他们不应该在任何地方产卵。 据她所知，它们都是由召唤者创造的。 它们只存在了几分钟就消失了。 因为Evoker国王以游戏中使用魔法的村民的名字命名自己，也许他对烦恼情有可原本。 这使得
