10 In the Tunnels

CHAPTER 10 IN THE TUNNELS Tag fell for what felt like forever. THUD! He landed on cold, damp mud. "Blaze?" Tag called. "Skyla?" The tunnel was dark. He couldn't see a thing. "Tag!" Skyla replied. She was right next to him.

第十章在隧道里塔格仿佛坠入了永恒。 砰的一声!他落在又冷又湿的泥上。 “火焰?”泰格。“Skyla ?”隧道里很黑。 他什么也看不见。“泰格!”Skyla答道。 她就在他旁边。

Tag hugged his friend, glad that she was okay. "Where is Blaze?" Skyla scurried a little way ahead. "She's over here!" Skyla said. "We need to untie her." They pulled at the webbing around Blaze's beak and wings until they came free. "Peep!" Blaze called. "Peep, peep, peep!" "We have to stay quiet," Tag whispered. "Blaze, can you light the way for us?" There was a rustle of feathers. Slowly, the tunnel grew brighter as Blaze's feathers glowed.

泰格拥抱了他的朋友，很高兴她没事。 “火焰在哪儿？”斯凯拉急匆匆地走在前面。 “她在这儿！”Skyla说。 “我们得把她解开。”他们拉着布雷兹鸟嘴和翅膀周围的网，直到它们挣脱出来。 “偷看!”大火。“吱，吱，吱！”“我们必须保持安静，”泰格低声说。 “火焰，你能给我们引路吗？”羽毛沙沙作响。 慢慢地，火焰的羽毛闪闪发光，隧道也变得明亮起来。

Tag, Skyla, and Blaze walked through the tight, narrow tunnel, wondering what had happened to Monty. "There you are!" a voice said behind them. "I'm afraid I got a little lost in the tunnels when I went back to fill in my holes and to grab your weapons. Moles don't see too well, you see." Monty handed Skyla and Tag their weapons. "Thank you for helping us, Monty," Tag said. "But how did you know where we were?"

泰格、斯凯拉和火焰穿过狭窄的隧道，想知道蒙蒂出了什么事。 “你们来了！”一个声音在他们身后说。 “我回去填洞和拿你们的武器时，恐怕在地道里有点迷路了。 鼹鼠的视力不太好，你知道。” 蒙蒂把武器交给斯凯拉和泰格。 “谢谢你帮助我们，蒙蒂，”泰格说。 “可是你怎么知道我们在哪儿呢？”

"I am a friend of Grey's," Monty told them. "He told me about your quest and about the Ember Stone, and he asked me to find you." "Are you from Valor Wood?" Skyla asked. "Moles and many other creatures used to live in this part of Perodia—before Thorn and The Shadow destroyed everything up there." Monty pointed aboveground. "But we moles still live underground here, and we use the tunnels to spy on Thorn." "That sounds dangerous!" Skyla said.

“我是格雷的朋友，”蒙蒂告诉他们。 “他告诉了我你的任务和烬石的事，他让我去找你。” “你是从英勇森林来的吗？”Skyla问道。 “鼹鼠和许多其他的生物曾经住在佩洛迪亚的这个地方——在索恩和影子毁灭那里的一切之前。” 蒙蒂指着地面。 “但是我们鼹鼠仍然住在这里的地下，我们利用隧道监视索恩。” “听起来很危险！”Skyla说。

"Thorn and his spies don't know about the tunnels," Monty said. "We fill in our holes so they never see them. You are safe down here. But we must hurry. We need to get you all to Valor Wood." Skyla and Blaze followed after the little mole, but Tag paused. "Wait!" he said. "We can't leave without my sack." Blaze pointed at Monty. "That's what I've been trying to tell you," she told Tag. "I saw the sack fall into a hole!" Monty grinned as he pulled something out from behind him. It was Tag's sack. "As soon as I heard the wolves, I knew you were in trouble. So I tunneled up and grabbed your sack before Thorn's spies saw it."

“索恩和他的间谍不知道隧道的事，”蒙蒂说。 “我们把洞填上，这样他们就看不到了。 你在下面很安全。但是我们必须快点。 我们得把你们都送到英勇森林去。” 斯凯拉和布雷兹跟着小鼹鼠，但泰格停了下来。 “等等！”他说。“不带我的袋子我们不能走。” 火焰指着蒙蒂。“这就是我一直想告诉你的，”她告诉泰格。 “我看见麻袋掉进了一个洞里！”蒙蒂咧嘴一笑，从身后掏出了什么东西。 那是泰格的袋子。“我一听到狼的叫声，就知道你有麻烦了。 所以我挖了个地道，趁索恩的密探没看见，抢了你的袋子。”

"Thank you!" Tag said. He looked inside the sack. The Ember Stone was safe. "Monty," he said as they continued on, we saw prickle ants and crag beetles marching toward Valor Wood. And locusts and tiger bats filled the sky. When that horn sounded, the wolves ran off to join the march. Why are Thorn's spies all together in The Shadowlands now?" "What is Thorn planning?" Skyla added. "They are preparing for a battle," Monty said quietly. He stopped and turned to the friends. "They are preparing to attack Valor Wood."

“谢谢你!”泰格说。他往麻袋里看。 烬石是安全的。“蒙蒂，”他们继续往前走，他说，“我们看到刺蚁和岩甲虫正向英勇森林进发。 空中到处都是蝗虫和虎蝠。 号角一响，狼群就跑去加入游行队伍。 为什么索恩的间谍现在都在暗影之地？”“索恩在计划什么？”Skyla补充道。 “他们在为战斗做准备。”蒙蒂平静地说。 他停下来，转向朋友们。 “他们正准备进攻英勇森林。”
