12 Follow the Path

CHAPTER 12 FOLLOW THE PATH Tag and Skyla walked toward the mountains ahead of them. "It might be quicker if we fly," Tag said. "We can follow the path from the sky." Skyla put her hand on her hip. "I can't fly without Blaze." "Ah," said Tag. "Good point. We'll have to walk."

第十二章沿路走泰格和斯凯拉朝前面的群山走去。 “如果我们坐飞机可能会更快，”塔格说。 “我们可以顺着天上的路走。” 斯凯拉把手放在臀部。 “没有火焰我飞不起来。” “啊，”泰格说。“好点。 我们只好走了。”

"Besides," Skyla added. "Zeb said to stay on the path." Tag and Skyla walked on through a valley covered in tall pink grass. "I really hope Blaze is okay," Skyla said. "She has her firehawk powers to protect her," Tag said. "But we need to find her soon. Skyla nodded. Tag tried to keep to the path like Zeb had told them, but the grass grew tall and wild. Tag stopped walking. "I can't see the path anymore," he said. "The grass grew over it."

“再说，”斯盖拉补充道。“泽布说要沿着小路走。” 泰格和斯凯拉继续往前走，穿过一个覆盖着高高的粉红色草的山谷。 “我真的希望布雷兹没事，”斯凯拉说。 “她有火鹰的力量来保护她，”泰格说。 “但我们需要尽快找到她。 Skyla点点头。泰格试图按照西布告诉他们的那样沿着小路走，但草长得又高又野。 泰格停了下来。“我再也看不到路了，”他说。 “上面长满了草。”

Skyla whistled. "It doesn't look like anyone has been this way for a very long time," she said. "I'll fly ahead quickly, just to see if I can find the path again," Tag said. "Okay, but hurry back!" Skyla called after her friend. Tag flew ahead. Farther along, he saw a dark line in the grass. He flew down closer. There was another wiggly brown line. And another. The squiggly lines were moving through the tall grass. And they were heading toward Skyla! I should never have left the path! Tag's heart raced as he flew back to Skyla as fast as he could. But he was too late.

Skyla吹口哨。“看起来很久没有人这样了，”她说。 “我会快速向前飞，看看能不能再找到那条路，”塔格说。 “好吧，但是快点回来！”斯凯拉在她朋友身后喊。 泰格飞在前面。再往前走，他看到草地上有一条黑线。 他飞得更近了。还有一条弯弯曲曲的棕色线。 和另一个。弯弯曲曲的线条在高高的草丛中移动。 他们正朝斯凯拉走去！我就不该离开这条路！泰格以最快的速度飞回斯凯拉，心跳加速。 但是他来得太晚了。

"Giant snakes!" Tag shouted. Giant snakes surrounded Skyla. They slithered around her in a circle, moving closer and closer. "HISSSSSSSSSS!" A huge snake reared its head and hissed at Skyla. "Help!" Skyla screamed. Tag swooped over her head. "Quick! Grab my tail feathers," he called.

“巨蟒!”标签喊道。 巨蟒包围了斯凯拉。 它们绕着她转了一圈，越来越近。 “HISSSSSSSSSS !”一条大蛇抬起头，对斯凯拉发出嘶嘶声。 “救命!”Skyla尖叫。泰格从她头顶飞过。 “快!抓住我的尾羽，”他喊道。

Skyla held on tight, and Tag flapped as hard as he could. Slowly, Skyla lifted off the ground. Tag tried to fly away from the snakes, but Skyla was heavy. Tag's feathers shook. The snakes were big enough to gobble them up whole. "Tassssssty sssssnack!" one snake hissed. "Eeeeek!" Skyla yelled as another snake showed its fangs.

斯凯拉紧紧抓着，泰格使劲拍打着翅膀。 斯凯拉慢慢地离开了地面。 泰格试图逃离蛇，但斯凯拉很重。 泰格的羽毛抖了起来。这些蛇大得足以把他们整个吃掉。 “嘶嘶嘶嘶！”一条蛇嘶嘶地说。 “Eeeeek !”另一条蛇露出毒牙时，斯凯拉大叫起来。

Tag took a deep breath and flapped harder. He didn't stop flapping until they were through the valley, with the snakes far behind. "Phew!" Skyla said. "You really saved my tail there." Tag puffed. "We need to get out of here in case they follow us," he said. "Let's find those birds' nests!"

泰格深吸了一口气，用力拍打着翅膀。 他不停地拍打着翅膀，直到他们穿过山谷，蛇远远地落在后面。 “唷!”Skyla说。“你真是救了我的命。” 标签膨化。“我们需要离开这里，以防他们跟踪我们，”他说。 “我们去找那些鸟巢吧！”
