Chapter 14

Chapter 14 WHICH WITCH ORDERED THE MOOSHROOM? The witch cackled from the door of the hut, utterly gleeful at the sight of Michael G. The mob came down from the porch, skipping happily to a specially prepared cage. The cage had a floor of mycelium, and tiny mushrooms grew around its edges. For a moment, Jodi thought that perhaps Michael would be happy here. She hesitated, though, when the witch opened the gate to the cage. The witch reached impatiently for Michael's leash, and Jodi knew she didn't have a choice. "Sorry, buddy," she said to the cow. Then she handed the lead to the witch, who locked the mooshroom in his new cage.

第十四章是哪个女巫点的蘑菇？ 女巫在小屋门口咯咯地笑着，一看到迈克尔·G就非常高兴。 这群暴徒从门廊上下来，高兴地跳到一个特别准备的笼子里。 笼子的底部铺满了菌丝体，边缘生长着小蘑菇。 有那么一会儿，乔迪想也许迈克尔在这里会很开心。 然而，当女巫打开笼子的门时，她犹豫了一下。 女巫不耐烦地伸手去拿迈克尔的皮带，乔迪知道她别无选择。 “对不起，伙计，”她对牛说。 然后她把引线递给女巫，女巫把蘑菇锁在他的新笼子里。

"HIS NAME IS MICHAEL G," said Theo. "He likes wheat and gentle pats on the head. You'd better treat him right." "Treat, hrm," said the witch. "Trick, hah." And then the witch drew a gleaming netherite sword.

“他叫迈克尔·G，”西奥说。 “他喜欢小麦，喜欢轻轻地拍脑袋。 你最好对他好一点。” “请，嗯。”女巫说。 “把戏,哈。”然后女巫抽出一把闪闪发光的黑冥剑。

Jodi took a step back. "What is that for?" she asked. "A powerful spell, heh, will I cast," said the witch. "Many, hrm, ingredients, has it. Chicken feather. Wool of, hah, sheep. Horn of, hrm, goat." The witch grinned maliciously. "And leather…from a brown mooshroom…slain BY SWORD." "Slain?!" said Jodi. "The witch is going to destroy Michael G for his leather!" said Morgan. "No," said Theo. "THAT IS NOT GOING TO HAPPEN." And he readied his sword. The witch still smiled. "Weak, you are." "You're right," said Harper. "We're still weakened." "That's why we phoned a friend," said Po.

乔迪向后退了一步。“那是干什么用的？”她问。 “嘿，我要施一个强大的咒语。”女巫说。 “很多食材都有。 鸡羽毛。羊毛，哈，羊的。 嗯，山羊的角。”女巫恶意地咧嘴一笑。 “还有棕色蘑菇的皮革……被剑杀死的。” “被杀？！”乔迪说。“女巫要为了迈克尔·G的皮革而杀死他！”摩根说。 “不，”西奥说。“那是不可能发生的。” 他准备好了他的剑。女巫仍然微笑着。 “你太软弱了。”“你说得对。” “我们的实力仍然很弱。”“这就是为什么我们打电话给朋友，”阿宝说。

The kids stepped aside…and Ash leaped forward, swinging her sword. It was a direct hit. The witch fell back, screeching and flashing red. Ash—who hadn't been debuffed like the others—had clearly done a lot of damage with that attack. "Are you sure about this, everybody?" Ash asked. "If we defeat the witch…you might never be cured." "We're sure," said Jodi. "WE CAN'T LET THE WITCH HURT THAT MOOSHROOM," said Theo. "It just…it isn't right."

孩子们退到一边……艾什跳上前去，挥舞着她的剑。 这是直接命中的。女巫倒在后面，尖叫着，身上闪着红光。 阿什——他没有像其他人那样被buff——显然在那次攻击中造成了很大的伤害。 “大家确定吗？”灰问道。 “如果我们打败了女巫……你可能永远也不会被治愈。” “我们确定，”乔迪说。“我们不能让女巫伤害那株蘑菇。”西奥说。 “这……这不对。”

"In that case, everybody, start opening cages!" said Ash. She gripped her sword. "I'll keep the witch busy." "Hah!" said the witch, throwing a splash potion at the group. "Scatter!" said Morgan, and they all dove in different directions. Theo was too slow. The potion hit him square in the back. "YEOW!" he said. "LEAVE THEM ALONE!" cried Ash, and she took another swing. Jodi hurried to Theo's side. "Are you all right?" she asked him.

“既然这样，大家都打开笼子吧！”阿什说。 她紧握剑。“我会让女巫忙起来的。” “哈！”女巫说着，朝大家扔了一剂飞溅的药水。 “散开！”摩根说，他们都朝不同的方向飞去了。 西奥太慢了。药水正好击中了他的后背。 “耶！”他说。“放开他们！”艾什叫道，又挥了一拳。 乔迪赶紧走到西奥身边。 “你没事吧？”她问他。

"I'm fine," Theo insisted. "Get Michael out of here!" Jodi waited for her moment to act. She watched as Ash swung her sword again, and the witch melted into the shadows. Then Jodi sprang into action, running to Michael's cage and throwing open the door. "GET OUT OF HERE, BUDDY!" she cried. As a parrot flew overhead and a fox rushed past her, Jodi realized her friends were hard at work all the way down the line of cages. She saw her brother hurrying toward the baby panda's cell. But then the witch slipped from the shadows just beside him. "Morgan!" Jodi cried in warning, but it was too late. The witch hurled a potion. By the time it had shattered against him, the mob was already gone again. "I can't keep up!" said Ash, running past Jodi and swinging her sword at every shadow. "How is that witch moving so quickly?" Strangely, the witch showed little interest in Ash. The mob stayed clear of Ash's sword. Instead of fighting back, the witch hurled potion after potion over Ash's head. Theo and Morgan had already been hit. Harper was next. And then Jodi was struck.

“我很好，”西奥坚持说。 “把迈克尔带出去！”乔迪等待着行动的时机。 她看着艾什再次挥剑，女巫消失在阴影中。 然后乔迪跳了起来，跑向迈克尔的笼子，打开了门。 “离开这里，伙计！”她喊道。 一只鹦鹉从她头顶飞过，一只狐狸从她身边跑过，乔迪意识到她的朋友们一直在努力工作。 她看到她的哥哥匆匆走向熊猫宝宝的牢房。 但随后女巫从阴影中溜了出来，就在他身边。 “摩根!”乔迪大声警告，但已经太晚了。 女巫泼了一剂药水。 当他被击碎的时候，暴民们又跑掉了。 “我跟不上了！”阿什从乔迪身边跑过，朝每一个影子挥剑。 “那个女巫怎么走得这么快？”奇怪的是，女巫对阿什没怎么感兴趣。 暴民们避开了阿什的剑。 女巫没有还击，而是把一剂又一剂的药水泼在阿什的头上。 西奥和摩根已经被袭击了。 哈珀是下一个。然后乔迪被击中了。
