Chapter 13

Chapter 13 Vexes Are Vexing! No Surprise There. But This One Is Something Special…. Morgan felt a rush of relief when he saw Theo's avatar appear beside him. "Is everything looking good IRL?" he asked. "I'm not sure," said Theo. "The adults are up to something." "I mean with your computer," said Morgan. "Everything else can wait. As long as the network is working." "It is, for now," said Theo. "But my PC could break down at any second. This might be our last chance." "Then we'll make the most of it," said Harper. "Jodi is in position," said Morgan. "And we've already built a bunch of slime engines," said Ash. "The scouts did a great job of finding slime balls." "There really should be a merit badge for that," said Po. At that moment, they heard Tony cry out, "Vex! There's a vex on the move, north by northeast!"

第十三章烦恼是烦恼！没什么好惊讶的。 但这个是特别的.... 当摩根看到西奥的化身出现在他身边时，他感到一阵宽慰。 “一切看起来都很好吗？”他问。 “我不确定，”西奥说。 “大人们在搞什么鬼。” “我是说用你的电脑。”摩根说。 “其他事情可以等等。 只要网络正常就行。” “现在是，”西奥说。 “但我的电脑随时都可能坏掉。 这可能是我们最后的机会了。” “那我们就好好利用它。”哈珀说。 “乔迪就位了。”摩根说。 “而且我们已经造了一堆黏液发动机，”阿什说。 “侦察员在发现黏液球方面做得很好。” 阿宝说：“这真的应该有一个荣誉徽章。” 就在这时，他们听到托尼喊道：“呸！有个怪物正在移动，在东北偏北方向！”

"It's time," said Morgan. "Come on, team. This is it!" They hurried to the northeast edge of the plains biome. There was a new bridge there, built by their classmates. Its colorfully mismatched blocks made it look a little like the rainbow bridge from Norse mythology. The bridge led to a mushroom field. Morgan saw the vex floating low among the mushrooms. He couldn't believe their luck! Mushroom fields were mostly flat, so the vex didn't have many places to hide. "I'll get it over the bridge," said Morgan. "Then it will be up to the rest of you." "I'll make sure everyone is ready," promised Ash. "Good luck, Morgan!" Morgan ran across the rainbow bridge, but he slowed down as he entered the first patch of mushrooms. He didn't want to spook the vex. It might attack him, or worse, fly away. But he had to slip past it so that he could move it in the right direction.

“时间到了。”摩根说。“加油，团队。 就是这里！”他们急忙赶到平原生物群落的东北边缘。 那里有一座新桥，是他们的同学建的。 色彩不匹配的积木使它看起来有点像北欧神话中的彩虹桥。 这座桥通向一片蘑菇田。 摩根看见那只烦恼在蘑菇中低低地漂浮着。 他简直不敢相信他们的运气！蘑菇地大多是平坦的，所以野猫没有很多藏身之处。 “我会把它弄过桥的。”摩根说。 “那就看你们其他人的了。” “我会确保每个人都准备好了。”阿什保证道。 “祝你好运，摩根！”摩根跑过彩虹桥，但当他进入第一片蘑菇时，他放慢了速度。 他不想吓到那个讨厌鬼。 它可能会攻击他，或者更糟，飞走。 但他必须溜过去，这样他才能把它推向正确的方向。

He constructed one more slime engine. By now, he could do it quickly. He attached a few slime blocks to a sticky piston, added some cobblestones for stability, then placed redstone blocks where they would keep the piston powered. With the push of a button, the piston surged forward—and because it was a sticky piston, it pulled the whole build forward. The engine lurched ahead, a fully automated battering ram. Although something about its movement and green- and-red coloring made Morgan think of a caterpillar. An attack caterpillar! Po would get a kick out of that image. Morgan had positioned the engine perfectly. It crept up on the vex, and when it reached the mob, the pistons

他又制造了一台黏液发动机。 到现在为止，他可以很快地做到这一点。 他在一个黏糊糊的活塞上粘上了一些黏液块，又加了一些鹅卵石来保持活塞的稳定性，然后在保持活塞动力的地方放上红石块。 按下一个按钮，活塞向前突飞猛进，因为它是一个粘性活塞，它把整个建筑向前拉。 发动机摇摇晃晃地向前推进，这是一台全自动的攻城锤。 尽管它的运动和红绿相间的颜色让摩根想到了毛毛虫。 一只攻击毛虫！阿宝会很喜欢那张照片的。 摩根把引擎的位置安排得很好 它爬上了火车头，当它到达人群时，是活塞

slammed the slime blocks into the unsuspecting mob. The vex was shoved forward, onto the rainbow bridge. And as the slime engine moved forward, it continued shoving the vex all the way across the bridge and onto the plains island. So far, so good. But would the others do their part? "The vex is below!" cried Tony. "Heading southeast!" The vex, tired of being bumped, had flown ahead of Morgan's engine. It flew past the tower, past the Evoker King fragments, and toward the edge of the plains biome. If it flew off into the void, it would be lost to them. But Shelly Silver was on the southeast edge of the island. At Tony's warning, she set her slime engine in motion. It knocked the vex back, away from the edge and toward the center of the biome. And so it went. Po's engine in the west, Harper's engine in the northwest and Raul's to the northeast, and more.

向毫无戒心的暴徒猛击黏液块。 那艘船向前推进，登上了彩虹桥。 随着黏液发动机向前推进，它继续把烦恼推过桥，推到平原岛上。 到目前为止，一切顺利。但其他人会尽自己的一份力吗？ “鬼在下面！”托尼叫道。 “朝东南!”讨厌的人厌倦了颠簸，飞到了摩根的引擎前面。 它飞过高塔，飞过易沃克国王的碎片，飞向平原生物群落的边缘。 如果它飞向虚空，他们就会失去它。 但雪莉·西尔弗在岛的东南边缘。 在托尼的警告下，她启动了她的黏液引擎。 它把烦恼打了回来，远离边缘，朝着生物群系的中心。 事情就这样过去了。阿宝的引擎在西部，哈珀的引擎在西北部，劳尔的引擎在东北部，等等。

Each of them was activated in turn so that blocks of slime lurched across the biome, closing in on the vex like a cage, preventing it from flying off. But it could still fly up. "The vex is taking to the skies," Ash warned. "We'll see about that," came a voice from atop the tower. It wasn't Tony this time, but Jodi. She leapt off the tower and into the sky! For a terrifying instant, Morgan watched his sister fall. But she spread the elytra that she'd kept after winning the challenge of the golem. She drifted down, aiming right for the vex.

它们中的每一个都被依次激活，这样一来，黏液块就会在生物群中蹒跚而行，像笼子一样包围着这个讨厌的家伙，阻止它飞走。 但它仍然可以飞起来。 阿什警告说：“烦恼正在向天空蔓延。” “我们走着瞧吧。”一个声音从塔顶传来。 这次不是托尼，而是乔迪。 她从塔上跳上了天空！在一个可怕的瞬间，摩根看着他的妹妹摔倒了。 但她把赢得魔像挑战后保留的鞘翅展开了。 她飘了下来，瞄准了那个烦恼。
