Chapter 32

chapter thirty-two "June, up here!" Dirk shouts. "Throw me the bestiary!" I watch as June attempts to keep the book away from Thrull. A Vine-Thingie quickly snaps out and snatches her into the air. As she's spun around, she manages to hurl the book to another monster: a short, six-legged thing. And at last, the book is heaved up to Dirk. He hands it to me. "You sure about this, bro?" "I'm sure. Just get me chained to those Weed-B- Gone barrels, or else—well, or else it's been nice knowing you..."

第三十二章“琼，到这儿来！”德克喊道。 “把圣经扔给我！”我看着琼试图让这本书远离Thrull。 一只藤蔓怪物迅速跳出来，把她抓到了空中。 当她转身时，她设法把书扔给了另一个怪物：一个短小的六条腿的东西。 最后，书被递到了德克面前。 他把它递给我。“你确定吗，兄弟？”“我确定。 快把我拴在那些杂草b——没了的木桶上，不然的话——嗯，不然的话，很高兴认识你……”

HERE IT IS, TUPALL! HERE'S YOUR BEASTIE. YOUR KEY. COME AND GET IT. The giant tree monster stares down at me. Wood splinters as his eyes narrow. Dirk hurriedly uses Rover's chain and a bunch of old bike locks to loop the barrels together and hook them to my suit. I check the plastic pockets: yep, I've got everything I need. Thrull's immense hand opens. "Are the barrels hooked on?" I shout. "Almost!" Dirk says. I hear the bike locks banging and clanging. My knees are practically knocking together as Thrull's hand lowers. "Hurry, Dirk! He's almost got me!"

给你，塔帕尔！这是你的小宝贝。 你的关键。来拿吧。 巨大的树怪俯视着我。 他的眼睛眯了起来，木头碎了。 德克赶紧用罗孚的链条和一堆旧自行车锁把桶环在一起，把它们钩在我的衣服上。 我检查了塑料口袋：是的，我有我需要的一切。 瑟鲁的大手张开了。 “木桶挂好了吗？”我喊。 “差不多了!”德克说。我听到自行车锁砰砰作响的声音。 瑟鲁的手放低时，我的膝盖几乎要撞在一起了。 “快点,德克!他差点就抓住我了！”

"Hurrying, bro!" I gulp. And then, an instant before the massive wooden hand seizes me, I hear a CLICK and Dirk slaps the suit and says, "GOOD TO GO!" I want to shut my eyes. But I don't. I stare down Thrull as his monstrous hand scoops me up.... The giant barrels of weed killer dangle from my space marine suit, swinging and clanging in the air. Thrull's body bends backward and the tree cracks. The mouth opens wide.

“匆匆,兄弟!”我吞咽。然后，就在那只巨大的木手抓住我之前的一瞬间，我听到咔哒一声，德克拍了拍那件衣服，说：“好了！”我想闭上眼睛。 但我没有。我盯着Thrull，他的巨手把我捞起来.... 装着除草剂的大桶在我的宇航服上晃来晃去，在空中晃来晃去，叮当作响。 Thrull的身体向后弯曲，树裂了。 嘴巴张得很大。

RAZAK, THE ANCIENT. THIS WORLD WILL SOON BE YOURS As Thrull places me into his mouth, I manage to fling the book backward, away from him. Thrull's wooden eyes go wide, but it's too late. I tumble into the monster's mouth. His giant wooden teeth slam into the barrels. Crushing them. Weed killer bursts from the busted metal. I'm falling. I see nothing but darkness as I tumble through the inside of this strange, hollow tree. The metal barrels knock against me. I hear weed killer sloshing out, splashing everywhere. Reaching into the suit, I manage to pull a single TNT-brand-triple-explosive bottle rocket from my pocket. As I plummet, I scrape the wick against the barrel. It sparks and the bottle rocket lights up the inner darkness of the hollow, monstrous tree. With one powerful swing, I jab the bottle rocket into the side of one barrel. And I brace myself... I finally hit the ground inside of the tree. My knees slam into my chest, and it takes a second to catch my breath before I can stand. The barrels

拉扎克，古老的。当斯拉把我放进他嘴里时，我设法把书向后一扔，远离他。 瑟鲁的木头眼睛睁得大大的，但为时已晚。 我跌进了怪物的嘴里。 他巨大的木牙猛咬木桶。 粉碎它们。杂草杀手从破裂的金属中迸发出来。 我在下降。当我在这棵奇怪的空心树里翻滚时，除了黑暗什么也看不见。 金属桶撞在我身上。 我听到除草剂溅出来，溅得到处都是。 我把手伸进战衣，从口袋里掏出一枚tnt牌三爆瓶火箭。 下落时，我把灯芯刮到了桶上。 它的火花和瓶子火箭照亮了中空的黑暗，巨大的树。 随着一个有力的摆动，我把瓶子火箭戳进了一个桶的侧面。 我振作起来……我终于在树上落地了。 我的膝盖撞到了胸口，我喘了一会儿气才站起来。 的桶

crash into the ground all around me and the weed killer continues to rush out. Thrull the Tree Beast shrieks! Wood snaps and cracks around me. At my feet, jutting out of the barrel, the bottle rocket burns. Weed killer pools around my feet. Looking up, I see it pouring down the inside of the tree. Sorry, Thl, but in this dimension, we've got something called fireworks. And they're a blast. The bottle rocket wick is down to nothing. Smoke clouds my vision. I look away, shut my eyes tight, and... The bottle rocket EXPLODES, setting off a chain reaction. Every barrel blows with it. I hope that this suit is strong enough to save me...

撞到我周围的地上，杂草杀手继续冲出来。 野兽的尖叫！我周围的木头噼啪作响。 在我的脚下，从桶里伸出来的瓶子火箭在燃烧。 杂草杀手在我脚边游动。 抬头一看，我看到雨水从树里面倾泻而下。 抱歉，泰尔，但在这个维度里，我们有个东西叫烟火。 他们是一个爆炸。瓶子里的火箭灯芯快没了。 烟遮住了我的视线。我把目光移开，紧紧闭上眼睛，然后…… 瓶子火箭爆炸，引发连锁反应。 每个桶都在吹。 我希望这身战衣足够坚固，能救我……
