Chapter 3

Chapter 3 CALLING LIGHTNING DOWN FROM A MYSTERIOUS RIP IN THE SKY…AND OTHER QUESTIONABLE IDEAS Jodi tried not to think about the rabbit. Had it gotten away? Or had the fox caught it in the end? She would never know. But she could learn where the butterflies were leading them. "Focus on the butterflies," she said to herself. There had been only one of them at first. But as it led them across the taiga biome, OTHER BUTTERFLIES HAD JOINED IT. Now there were four of them, flittering around each other. Fortunately, they were all moving in the same direction.

第三章从神秘的天空裂缝中召唤闪电……以及其他可疑的想法乔迪尽量不去想那只兔子。 它跑掉了吗？还是最后被狐狸抓住了？ 她永远不会知道。但她可以知道蝴蝶会把他们带到哪里。 “把注意力集中在蝴蝶身上，”她对自己说。 起初他们只有一个人。 但当它带着它们穿过针叶林生物群落时，其他蝴蝶加入了它。 现在有四个人了，在彼此的周围飞来飞去。 幸运的是，他们都朝着同一个方向前进。

"I bet if a parrot swooped down and started eating those butterflies, you'd try to stop it," she said to her brother. "I don't know," said Morgan. "It might be interesting to see what would happen. Any theories?" Theo tapped his chin. "If the butterflies are stray bits of the Evoker King's code…maybe the parrot would be transformed by eating them?" "THE EVOKER PARROT!" said Ash. "Sounds cute." "I agree," said Po. "Maybe if I wore my pirate skin, he'd hang out on my shoulder."

“我敢打赌，如果一只鹦鹉俯冲下来，开始吃那些蝴蝶，你会设法阻止它的，”她对哥哥说。 “我不知道，”摩根说。 “看看会发生什么可能会很有趣。 任何理论?”西奥拍了拍下巴。 “如果蝴蝶是埃弗克·金密码的碎片……也许鹦鹉吃了它们就会变形？”“那只叫EVOKER的鹦鹉！” “听起来可爱。”“我同意，”阿宝说。 “也许如果我穿上海盗的皮肤，他就会在我的肩膀上闲逛。”

The kids laughed. Then lightning crackled from the Fault overhead and the sound of thunder made them jump! All at once, they remembered what was at stake. Jodi knew they were entering a new biome when the trees changed. There had been nothing but spruce trees in the taiga biome. Now they were walking among a cluster of oak and birch trees. Jodi wasn't a plant person, really. But she knew her Minecraft trees. They all provided wood of different colors, and that was important to know when planning a colorful build. For the same reason, she was trying to learn all the flowers of Minecraft. But there were so many different types! Some of them could be used to make dyes, but not all of them. And usually, they were spread across an assortment of different biomes. But as Jodi stepped past the trees, she saw a huge array of flowers growing on the gentle slopes ahead. It was like a rainbow had come down to nestle in the grass. "WHAT IS THIS PLACE?" she asked in awe. "IT LOOKS LIKE A FLOWER FOREST BIOME," said Theo. "Almost every kind of flower grows here."

孩子们笑了。然后闪电从断层上方劈啪作响，雷声把他们吓了一跳！突然，他们想起了危在旦夕的事情。 乔迪知道，当树木发生变化时，他们正在进入一个新的生物群落。 在针叶林生物群系中，除了云杉什么也没有。 现在他们正走在一片橡树和桦树丛中。 乔迪不是植物爱好者，真的。 但她知道她的Minecraft树。 他们都提供不同颜色的木材，在规划色彩丰富的建筑时，了解这一点很重要。 出于同样的原因，她试图学习《我的世界》中的所有花朵。 但是有很多不同的类型！其中一些可以用来制造染料，但不是全部。 通常，它们分布在不同的生物群系中。 但当乔迪走过树林时，她看到前面缓坡上长着一大排花。 就像一道彩虹落下来依偎在草地上。 “这是什么地方？”她敬畏地问道。 “它看起来像一个花林生物群落，”西奥说。 “几乎每种花都生长在这里。”

"Could the butterflies be attracted to the flowers?" asked Harper. "I don't know," said Ash, pointing with her blocky hand. "They seem more interested in that." Jodi saw what Ash meant. The butterflies had all gathered around a block that was hanging from a nearby oak tree. The block was yellow with bands of brown. Small openings in its sides made it look almost like a miniature house.

“蝴蝶会被这些花吸引吗？”哈珀问。 “我不知道，”艾什用她那粗壮的手指着说。 “他们似乎对此更感兴趣。” 乔迪明白了阿什的意思。蝴蝶都聚集在附近一棵橡树上挂着的一块木头周围。 那块砖是黄色的，上面有棕色的条纹。 它两侧的小开口使它看起来几乎像一个微型房子。

"IT'S A BEES' NEST!" said Morgan. "Why are the butterflies gathered around it?" Harper asked. "Do you think the next Evoker Spawn could be A GIANT BEE?" asked Ash. But Jodi wasn't paying attention. She'd spotted a sheep grazing among the flowers. Pressing herself again a nearby birch, she scanned the area for wolves and

“这是一个蜂巢！”摩根说。 “为什么蝴蝶聚集在它周围？”哈珀问道。 “你觉得下一个Evoker Spawn会是一只巨大的蜜蜂吗？”Ash问。 但乔迪没有注意到。 她发现一只羊在花丛中吃草。 她再次抓住附近的一棵桦树，扫视这片区域是否有狼

other predators. For now, the sheep appeared safe. But how long would that last? "Psst," Jodi whispered. "Hey, Po." While the others were gathered around the bees' nest, Jodi pulled Po aside. "Do you still have that trident?" she asked him. Po gave her a suspicious look. "Yeeeah," he said, and he glanced up at the lightning that flashed around the edges of the Fault. "What do you need it for?" "I had an idea," Jodi said. "Your trident has a special enchantment on it, right? It causes lightning to strike." "When it's raining, sure," said Po. He looked up again at the Fault. "You think it'll work on the lightning that's flashing around the Fault?" "I THINK IT MIGHT WORK," Jodi said. "Okay," said Po. "But why do you want to call lightning down?" Jodi looked around to make sure her brother couldn't hear her, and then she fixed Po with her most serious expression. She asked him, "Do you remember what happened when a pig got struck by lightning?"

其他食肉动物。目前，羊似乎是安全的。 但这能持续多久呢？ “嘘，”乔迪低声说。“嘿,阿宝。” 当其他人都聚集在蜂巢周围时，乔迪把阿宝拉到一边。 “你还留着那把三叉戟吗？”她问他。 阿宝怀疑地看了她一眼。 “是啊。”他说，抬头看了一眼断层边缘上闪过的闪电。 “你要它做什么？”“我有个主意，”乔迪说。 “你的三叉戟有特殊的魔力，对吗？” 它会引起闪电。” “下雨的时候，当然，”阿宝说。 他又抬头看了看断层。 “你认为它会对断层附近的闪电起作用吗？”“我想这可能有用，”乔迪说。 “好吧，”阿宝说。“可是你为什么要叫闪电下来呢？”乔迪环顾四周，确保她哥哥听不见，然后用她最严肃的表情盯着阿宝。 她问他：“你还记得一头猪被闪电击中的事吗？”
