10 The croco-Dragon

CHAPTER 10 THE CROCO- DRAGON The enormous croco-dragon's bright eyes glared at the friends as it crept closer to them. It snapped its sharp teeth at the friends.

第十章鳄鱼龙那条巨大的鳄鱼龙朝他们爬近时，明亮的眼睛瞪着他们。 它用尖利的牙齿向朋友们咬去。

Skyla leaped through the air, shooting acorns at the croco-dragon's head. Tag followed, flying at the creature with his dagger held high.

斯凯拉跃过空中，向鳄鱼龙的头部发射橡子。 泰格紧随其后，高举匕首冲向那怪物。

The croco-dragon roared and opened its huge jaws. A blast of green fire shot out of its mouth. Tag was knocked to the ground. Skyla shot more acorns at the creature, but it sent out another blast of green fire and burned the nuts to ash.

鳄鱼龙咆哮着，张开了它的巨颚。 一股绿色的火焰从它嘴里喷了出来。 泰格被打倒在地。 斯凯拉朝那怪物射了更多的橡子，但它又喷出了一股绿色的火焰，把橡子烧成了灰烬。

"My tail!" Skyla cried as burning green fire caught the tip of her tail. Tag quickly scooped up some mud and covered his friend's tail. The fire went out. Blaze's feathers glowed brighter. She shot a huge fireball at the croco-dragon, but the flames bounced off its tough skin.

“我的尾巴!”燃烧的绿色火焰抓住了斯凯拉的尾巴尖，她哭了起来。 泰格迅速舀起一些泥，盖在他朋友的尾巴上。 火熄灭了。火焰的羽毛更亮了。 她向鳄鱼龙发射了一个巨大的火球，但火焰从鳄鱼龙坚硬的皮肤上弹了回来。

"The creature is too strong!" Skyla cried. "Fly away!" Tag shouted. Blaze's feathers returned to normal and Skyla jumped on her back. They followed Tag into the sky, but— The croco-dragon followed! It chased after them, flapping its small wings. Whichever way they turned, the creature followed, blasting green fire. "My wings are so tired!" Tag called to his friends. "I need to land!" He landed in a muddy puddle. Blaze and Skyla landed beside him.

“这家伙太强壮了！”Skyla哭了。 “飞走了!”标签喊道。火焰的羽毛恢复了正常，斯凯拉跳到了她的背上。 他们跟着泰格上了天，但是-鳄鱼龙跟着！它扇动着小翅膀追着他们。 无论他们往哪个方向走，那个生物都跟着，喷出绿色的火焰。 “我的翅膀太累了！”泰格叫他的朋友们。 “我要降落！”他落在一个泥泞的水坑里。 布雷克和斯凯拉降落在他身边。

They watched as the croco-dragon landed a little way ahead. It roared, then crept toward them, preparing to attack. "We have to do something!" Skyla said. "Try your firehawk cry, Blaze!" Blaze opened her beak. But before she could make a sound, a dark shadow fell over them. The croco-dragon's eyes went wide. It walked backward, looking frightened. Before Tag knew what had happened, the creature dived into the Silver Swamp and disappeared beneath the water.

他们看着鳄鱼龙在前面不远的地方降落。 它咆哮着，然后爬向他们，准备进攻。 “我们必须做点什么！”Skyla说。 “火焰侠，试试你的火鹰叫声！”布雷兹张开嘴。 但她还没来得及发出声音，一个黑影就落在了他们身上。 鳄鱼龙睁大了眼睛。 它向后走着，看起来很害怕。 在泰格知道发生了什么之前，这个生物潜入了银色沼泽，消失在水下。
