8 Shocking Surprise!

Chapter 8 Shocking Surprise! Immediately, the pikos climbed onto Bruno's back, making a pyramid, like cheerleaders at a football game. "Cousins!" shouted Peki. "Up you climb or you will die. The Shiver has at last arrived!" Down the tunnel ahead of them came dozens of triangular fins. The sharks lifted their heads from the water. Their eyes were glowing! "Now!" Peki cried. Malia didn't waste another second. She scrambled up the tower of slick piko bodies, getting as high as she could. Dante and Ivan followed. Just as their feet left the water, the sharks attacked!

第八章 惊人的意外！ 皮科们立刻爬到布鲁诺背上，叠成了金字塔，就像橄榄球比赛里的啦啦队员一样。 “同族们！”佩基大喊。 “赶紧往上爬，不然你们就死定了。 颤噬鲨群终于来了！” 他们前方的隧道里游来了几十片三角形的鱼鳍。 鲨鱼们从水里抬起头。 它们的眼睛正发着光！ “动手！” 佩基大喊道。 马利亚一秒都没耽搁。 她顺着光溜溜的皮科身体堆成的塔往上爬，尽量爬到最高的地方。 丹特和伊万紧跟在后面。 就在他们的脚刚离开水面的时候，鲨鱼发动了攻击！

BZZZZZZT! Electricity forked like lightning from their eyes. The sewer water lit up! Balls of energy rolled along the surface, slamming into Bruno. The spirit dog staggered as waves hit him. Then one of the bigger pikos lost its balance! Its tail dipped into the water, and it began to howl. Another piko reached down to help but got shocked as well. After twenty seconds, the eyes of the Shiver went

滋——滋滋滋滋！ 电流像闪电一样从它们眼睛里迸射出来。 下水道的水都被点亮了！ 能量球在水面上滚过，狠狠撞在了布鲁诺身上。 浪头打过来，灵犬布鲁诺晃了晃身子。 这时一只体型较大的皮科失去了平衡！ 它的尾巴浸到了水里，立刻痛得嚎叫起来。 另一只皮科伸手下去想帮忙，也被电到了。 二十秒后，颤噬鲨群的眼睛变成了

black. But that wasn't the end! WHOOOSH! WHIIISH! They came swimming fast! Peki clapped his front hands. "Okay, charge all gone again. Fighters, stay and help the Guardian. Rest of you, bolt! See you back at the holt!" The pyramid came tumbling down. A dozen of the medium-sized pikos swept Malia, Dante, and Ivan down the tunnel. The bigger ones crashed like a wave of grappling hands on the Shiver, pulling the sharks underwater. Bruno helped, slamming his big paws into the enemy and biting at their fins. The pikos rushed through the sewer until they came to a broader chamber. There were two big concrete platforms on either side, nice and dry. "Ah, it's their holt," Ivan muttered. "That's, like,

漆黑一片。 可事情还没结束呢！ 呼——嗖！ 咻——呼！ 它们飞快地游了过来！ 佩基拍了拍自己的前爪。 “好了，能量又用完了。 战士们留下来守护守护者。 其他人快跑！ 我们回巢穴见！” 皮科堆成的金字塔一下子散了架。 十几只中等体型的皮科带着马利亚、丹特和伊万顺着隧道往前冲。 体型更大的皮科像无数抓握的手汇成的浪，扑向颤噬鲨群，把鲨鱼往水下拽。 布鲁诺也来帮忙，用大爪子狠狠拍打敌人，还咬它们的鱼鳍。 皮科们在下水道里往前冲，直到来到一个更宽阔的洞室。 洞室两边各有两个大大的水泥平台，干爽又舒服。 “啊，这就是他们的巢穴。”伊万小声嘀咕。 “就是，差不多

their den." "Den?" Dante said as he wrung water from his shirt. "Where's the flat-screen and video game console, huh? Pikos, I swear. Worst hosts in the sewer."

他们的窝啦。” “窝？” 丹特一边拧衬衫上的水一边说。 “那平板电视和游戏机在哪呢，啊？ 这些皮科啊，我真是服了。 整个下水道最差劲的东道主。”
