03 Into the Shadowlands

CHAPTER 3 INTO THE SHADOWLANDS The three friends landed in the Shadowlands with a bump. Tag managed to miss a prickly thornbush, but Blaze and Skyla crash-landed right in the middle of one. "Skyla! Blaze!" Tag called. "Are you okay?"

第三章进入暗影之地三个朋友砰的一声落在了暗影之地。 泰格设法躲过了一丛荆棘，但布雷兹和斯凯拉却迫降在荆棘中间。 “Skyla !大火!”泰格。 “你还好吗？”

Blaze hopped out of the bush, licking her wings. Skyla tried to follow, but— "My tail is stuck!" she cried. In the sky, the locusts were circling like a big, buzzing cloud. The friends had to move fast. Tag and Blaze tugged at Skyla's thick, bushy tail. Finally, it came free, and she tumbled to the ground.

火焰从灌木丛中跳出来，舔着翅膀。 斯盖拉想跟上去，但是——“我的尾巴卡住了！”她叫道。 在天空中，蝗虫盘旋着，像一片嗡嗡作响的大云。 朋友们必须迅速行动。 泰格和火焰拽着斯凯拉浓密的尾巴。 最后，它挣脱了，她倒在地上。

The buzzing sound above grew louder. Blaze looked up at the sky. "The locusts are going to attack!" she said. The locusts began to dive. They were aiming right at them. Skyla pulled out her slingshot and Tag gripped his golden dagger, but Blaze stepped in front of them both. SKRAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!

上面的嗡嗡声越来越大。 火焰抬头看着天空。 “蝗虫要来了！”她说。 蝗虫开始俯冲。 他们正瞄准他们。 斯凯拉抽出她的弹弓，泰格紧握着他的金匕首，但布雷兹走到他们俩的前面。 SKRAAAAAAAAAAAAAA !

Tag and Skyla covered their ears as Blaze let out her firehawk cry. The cloud of locusts exploded as the creatures scattered in different directions. "You did it, Blaze!" Tag cried. "Your powerful cry scared them off!" The friends hugged. Then Skyla jumped onto Blaze's back. "We need to get out of here," she said. "Those locusts will tell Thorn where we are. More spies will be here soon!"

泰格和斯凯拉捂着耳朵，火焰发出了火鹰般的叫声。 蝗虫群散开了，散开了。 “你做到了，Blaze!”泰格哭了。 “你强有力的叫声把它们吓跑了！”朋友们拥抱在一起。 然后斯凯拉跳到布雷兹的背上。 “我们得离开这里，”她说。 “那些蝗虫会告诉索恩我们在哪里。 很快会有更多的间谍来的！”

Tag nodded. He quickly checked his sack to make sure that their piece of the Ember Stone was safe. Then he spread his wings. "Let's go!" he said. But Skyla and Blaze did not move. They stared at the sky. Their fur and feathers were shaking.

标记点了点头。他迅速检查了他的袋子，以确保他们的那块烬石是安全的。 然后他展开了翅膀。“我们走吧！”他说。 但是斯凯拉和布雷兹没有动。 他们凝视着天空。它们的皮毛和羽毛都在颤抖。

Tag looked up. Darker than any storm cloud and scarier than any of Thorn's spies was... The Shadow.

泰格抬起头来。比任何风暴云都黑暗，比索恩的间谍都可怕…… 的影子。
