Chapter 10

Chapter 10 PUMPKINS! THEY'RE WHAT ALL THE MONSTER HUNTERS ARE WEARING THIS SEASON. Harper had changed her skin to an outfit better suited for capturing a hostile mob. She figured if Po could change his skin for every new adventure and whim, she could change hers for more practical reasons. But at the moment, she felt ridiculous. "Morgan, TELL ME AGAIN WHY I HAVE TO WEAR THIS PUMPKIN ON MY HEAD," she demanded.

第十章南瓜！这一季所有的怪物猎人都穿这个。 哈珀把她的皮肤换成了更适合抓捕敌对暴徒的衣服。 她想，如果阿宝可以为每一次新的冒险和突发奇想改变他的皮肤，她也可以为更实际的原因改变她的皮肤。 但此刻，她觉得很可笑。 “摩根，再告诉我一次，我为什么要把这个南瓜戴在头上？”她要求道。

"It's safer this way. I promise!" Morgan told her. "The Endermonster has powers that an enderman doesn't have. But it still acts like an enderman." He put a pumpkin on his own head. "And an enderman attacks anyone who looks at it…unless that person is wearing a pumpkin." "Personally, I am a big fan of this plan," said Po. "I could really lose my head over how cool it is!" In addition to the pumpkin head, he was wearing all black clothes, with a dark cape hanging from his shoulders. He looked like the Headless Horseman in "The Legend of Sleepy Hollow."

“这样更安全。我保证!”摩根告诉她。 “末底怪拥有末底人所没有的力量。 但它仍然像一个终结者。” 他在自己的头上放了一个南瓜。 “任何看到它的人都会受到终结人的攻击……除非那个人戴着南瓜。” “就我个人而言，我是这个计划的忠实粉丝，”阿宝说。 “这太酷了，我都要昏头了！”除了南瓜头，他还穿着一身黑色的衣服，肩上挂着一件深色的斗篷。 他看起来就像《断头谷传说》里的无头骑士。

Harper sighed. She couldn't shake the feeling that Morgan was playing a prank on them. But she knew he wouldn't be so silly when they were on such an important mission. They had to capture this mob or whatever it was if they had any hope of saving their digital friend. "Let's review the plan," Harper said. "We need to dig a pit and then line the pit with soul sand, which I picked up last time we were in the Nether."

哈珀叹了口气。她总觉得摩根在捉弄他们。 但她知道他不会这么傻，因为他们在执行如此重要的任务。 他们必须抓住这群暴徒之类的如果他们还有希望拯救他们的数字朋友。 “让我们回顾一下计划，”哈珀说。 “我们需要挖一个坑，然后在坑里铺上灵魂沙，那是我上次在阴间捡到的。”

"Because according to Morgan, endermen can't teleport when they're standing on soul sand," said Jodi. "That trick only works during the day," said Morgan. "So we have to time this just right." "So we'll get the Endermonster to teleport into the pit," said Po. "It won't be able to teleport out of the pit, and it will be too deep to climb out." "That just leaves the question of bait," said Theo. "What do we use to lure the Endermonster into the pit?" "Not what," said Morgan. "Who." He turned his pumpkin-head gaze to Theo. "How serious were you when you said you'd do anything to fix this?" Harper knew that it wasn't really possible, but she thought Theo's avatar looked a little queasy. The Endermonster was easy to find. It still hadn't traveled very far from the site of their first battle. The mob shuffled from tree to tree, moving blocks around seemingly at random. Harper passed out flasks of an electric-blue liquid. "Everybody drink up," she said.

“因为根据摩根的说法，终结者站在灵魂沙上是无法瞬间移动的。”乔迪说。 “这个把戏只在白天管用。”摩根说。 “所以我们必须把握好时机。” “那我们就把末底怪传送到坑里去。”阿宝说。 “它将无法瞬间移动出坑，而且坑太深，爬不出来。” “那就剩下诱饵的问题了，”西奥说。 “我们用什么引诱末底怪到坑里来？”“不是什么，”摩根说。 “谁。”他把南瓜头般的目光转向西奥。 “你说你愿意做任何事来解决这个问题，你是认真的吗？”哈珀知道这是不可能的，但她觉得西奥的化身看起来有点恶心。 末底怪很容易找到。 它离第一次战斗的地点还没走多远。 这群人从一棵树拖到另一棵树，似乎随意地移动着石块。 哈珀发了几瓶电蓝色的液体。 “大家都喝光了，”她说。

"It looks like a sports drink," said Po. Harper grinned. "You're sort of right. These are potions of swiftness. We need to be quick against an enemy who can teleport." Theo drank his potion down. "I feel faster already," said Theo. "Wish me luck." "We've got your back," Jodi promised. Theo removed the pumpkin from his head. He looked right at the Endermonster. "Peek-a-boo!" he cried. "I see you, Endermonster!" The Endermonster whirled at the sound of Theo's voice. It emitted a bloodcurdling shriek. "Now, Theo," said Harper. "Go. Run!" Theo turned and ran, hoping he would be fast enough. At the same moment, the Endermonster teleported to where Theo had just been standing, slamming its fists down on empty grass. The mob shrieked in frustration. It scanned the forest with its sinister red eyes. When it spotted Theo, it teleported again. Once again, it just missed him. "THEO'S STAYING AHEAD OF IT, THANKS TO THE SWIFTNESS POTION!" said Harper.

“看起来像运动饮料，”阿宝说。 哈珀咧嘴一笑。“你说得有点对。 这些是迅捷的药剂。 我们需要迅速对付一个能瞬间传送的敌人。” 西奥把药水一饮而尽。 “我感觉快多了。”西奥说。 “祝我好运吧。”“我们会支持你的，”乔迪保证道。 西奥把南瓜从头上拿了下来。 他直视着末底怪。 “躲猫猫！”他叫道。“我看见你了，末底怪！”听到西奥的声音，末底怪旋转起来。 它发出一声令人毛骨悚然的尖叫。 “好了，西奥。”哈珀说。“去。 快跑!”西奥转身就跑，希望自己能跑得够快。 与此同时，末底怪传送到西奥刚才站着的地方，用拳头猛击空旷的草地。 暴民们沮丧地尖叫起来。 它用凶狠的红眼睛扫视着森林。 当它发现西奥时，它又传送了一次。 又一次，球没打中他。 “多亏了迅捷药水，西奥一直走在它前面！”哈珀说。
