13 Spies

CHAPTER 13 SPIES? The spider monkeys hurried up the mountain. Tag, Skyla, and Blaze followed. The higher they climbed, the smokier the air became. When they reached the top, Tag saw why... "Fire Island is a volcano?!" he cried.

第13章间谍？蜘蛛猴们急忙爬上了山。 泰格、斯凯拉和布雷兹紧随其后。 他们爬得越高，空气中的烟雾就越浓。 当他们到达山顶时，泰格明白了为什么… “火岛是一座火山？！”

"That must be why it's called Fire Island," said Skyla. Her tail twitched. "It's not going to blow, is it?" Tag paused. "I hope not!" "Do you think the monkeys are Thorn's spies?" Skyla whispered as they continued to chase them. Tag shook his head. "I don't think so. They don't have orange eyes." All of a sudden, Blaze peeped and hopped back and forth. The monkeys had stopped to catch their breath. "Hey!" Skyla called. She shot a stone into the trees above. The monkeys jumped. They dropped the map as they scurried away.

“这一定就是它被称为火岛的原因。”斯凯拉说。 她的尾巴抽搐了一下。“它不会爆炸，是吗？”泰格停顿了一下。 “我希望不会！”“你认为猴子是索恩的间谍吗？”他们继续追赶他们，斯凯拉低声说。 泰格摇了摇头。“我不这么认为。 他们没有橙色的眼睛。” 突然，火焰窥视着，跳来跳去。 猴子们停下来喘了口气。 “嘿!”Skyla调用。她向上面的树上射了一块石头。 猴子们跳了起来。他们匆匆离去时把地图掉在地上。

Skyla picked it up. Beside it was a long, golden feather. "Look at this," she said, holding up the feather. "That looks like one of Blaze's feathers, but bigger," Tag said. Maybe there are firehawks on the island after all? Tag put the feather into his sack as Blaze peeped behind him. Tag and Skyla turned around to see a large, red rock painted with bright, colorful birds—birds that looked just like Blaze.

斯凯拉捡起来了。旁边是一根长长的金色羽毛。 “看这个，”她举起羽毛说。 “那看起来像布雷兹的羽毛，但更大，”塔格说。 也许岛上真的有火鹰？ 泰格把羽毛放进他的麻袋里，火焰在他身后窥视。 泰格和斯凯拉转过身来，看到一块巨大的红色岩石上画着色彩鲜艳的鸟——这些鸟看起来就像布雷兹。

Tag stepped up to the rock. Some of it was covered in black sand. He brushed it away with his wing. "Firehawks!" Tag said. "It looks like these pictures tell a story." There were four paintings. The first showed so many firehawks that Tag couldn't count them. A large firehawk with golden feathers on his head stood in the middle. He must be their leader, Tag thought. The leader held a large purple stone. "The Ember Stone!" Skyla whispered.

泰格走到岩石前。 其中一些被黑沙覆盖着。 他用翅膀把它拂去。 “火鹰!”泰格说。“看起来这些照片讲了一个故事。” 有四幅画。 第一幅图上火鹰太多了，泰格都数不清。 一只头上长着金色羽毛的火鹰站在中间。 他一定是他们的首领，泰格想。 领袖拿着一块紫色的大石头。 “烬石！”Skyla低声说。

She pointed to the next painting. It showed the Ember Stone glowing purple. Tag moved over to the third painting. He tried to brush the sand away, but it was stuck. "I wish we could see this picture." The fourth painting showed Thorn, surrounded by a dark swirly cloud.

她指着下一幅画。 余烬之石发出紫色的光。 泰格转向第三幅画。 他想把沙子刷走，但沙子卡住了。 “我希望我们能看到这张照片。” 第四幅画中，索恩被一团黑色的漩涡云包围着。

"Thorn!" Tag shuddered. Even in the painting, Thorn—and The Shadow—looked scary. "We need to find that stone," Skyla said. "Where should we look?" Tag said. "The paintings show the stone. But there are no clues about where it is hidden." "We'll just have to search the whole island," said Skyla. The friends searched all day. Tag looked behind every rock.

“刺!”泰格战栗。即使在画中，桑和影子看起来也很可怕。 “我们需要找到那块石头，”斯凯拉说。 “我们应该去哪里找？”泰格说。 “这些画展示了石头。 但没有线索表明它藏在哪里。” “我们得搜遍整个岛。”斯凯拉说。 朋友们找了一整天。 泰格在每块石头后面找。
