9 Ch9-Bones of the Beasts

CHAPTER 9 BONES OF THE BEASTS Griffith, the two Dragon Masters, and their dragons followed the wizards into the fortress. Everyone stopped when they saw the stone statues: Mina of the Far North and Frost, her Ice Dragon. Caspar and his Stone Dragon, Shaka. Quilla blinked. "Astrid did this?" she asked. Drake nodded. Jayana pointed to a group of wizards. "Stay here and free them from the stone." Six wizards ran over to the statues.

格里菲思、两位巨龙大师和他们的巨龙跟着巫师进入了堡垒。 当他们看到石像时，每个人都停了下来:遥远北方的米娜和她的冰龙霜。 卡斯帕和他的石龙，沙卡。 Quilla眨了眨眼睛。“这是阿斯特丽德干的?” 德雷克点点头。迦耶娜指着一群巫师。 “待在这里，把他们从石头下解救出来。” 六个巫师跑向雕像。

"The rest of you will come with me," she instructed. "Astrid is with the bones. Drake, where can we find them?" "Follow me," Drake replied, and he and Worm led the way. They marched over to the entry to the Garden of the Beasts. A bright red light shone from inside. Drake shaded his eyes.

“你们其余的人跟我来。”她命令道。 “阿斯特丽德跟骨头在一起。 德雷克，我们到哪里去找他们?”“跟我来。”德雷克回答，他和沃姆走在前面。 他们向野兽花园的入口走去。 一束明亮的红光从里面照了出来。 德雷克遮住了眼睛。

Through the light, he saw giant beasts— beasts made of bones! Some beasts had a huge body and a long, long neck. Others stood on two feet, and had a huge head filled with sharp teeth! Others had spiky spines, or a horn growing from their forehead. Another beast flew around the garden on large wings. Its sharp, skinny beak looked like a bird's beak.

透过光线，他看到了巨大的野兽——骨头做的野兽!有些野兽有着巨大的身体和长长的脖子。 还有一些用两只脚站立，长着一个巨大的脑袋，上面长满了锋利的牙齿!其他的有尖尖的刺，或者从额头上长出角。 另一只野兽用大翅膀在花园里飞来飞去。 它那尖而细的嘴看起来像鸟嘴。

Astrid floated above the sand. She wore a belt around her waist. Tiny, glowing bottles dangled from loops on the belt. Each one held a different color liquid— a dragon power she had stolen. If she drank one, she could use that dragon's attack as her own. The evil wizard cackled loudly. "Come, my beautiful, bony beasts! Together, we will conquer the world!" A swirling red portal opened up behind her. Drake darted forward. "I have to use the Tenebrex Box!"

阿斯特丽德浮在沙滩上。 她腰上系了一条腰带。 腰带上的环上挂着发光的小瓶子。 每个人都有一种不同颜色的液体——她偷来的龙的力量。 如果她喝了，她就可以把恶龙的攻击当作自己的攻击。 邪恶的巫师大声地咯咯笑着。 “来吧，我美丽的骨瘦如柴的野兽!我们将一起征服世界!”一个旋转的红色传送门在她身后打开。 德雷克冲上前去。“我必须使用tenbreex Box!”

Griffith stopped him. "Wait, Drake! We need a plan to keep you safe." "Wayra can help," Quilla piped up. "She can whip up a wind that will create a sandstorm around Astrid" But Drake shook his head. "Astrid steals dragon powers. It's too dangerous." "She won't see us coming!" Quilla promised. She climbed on Wayra's back. Her Dragon Stone glowed. "Wayra, create a sandstorm around that wizard!"

格里菲思拦住了他。“等等,德雷克!我们需要一个保证你安全的计划。” “韦拉可以帮忙。”奎拉尖声说。 “她可以掀起一股风，在阿斯特丽德周围制造一场沙尘暴。”但德雷克摇了摇头。 “阿斯特丽德偷走了龙的力量。 这太危险了。”“她不会看到我们来的!”Quilla承诺。 她爬到薇拉的背上。 她的龙石闪闪发光。“薇拉，在那个巫师周围制造一场沙尘暴!”

Just as Astrid stepped closer to the portal, Wayra lifted off the ground and flew into the Garden of the Beasts. The dragon's body glowed with soft purple magic, and the sand around Astrid whipped up. A spinning tornado of sand surrounded the wizard. "Drake, now!" Griffith urged.

就在阿斯特丽德走近传送门的时候，韦拉飞离地面，飞进了野兽花园。 巨龙的身体散发着柔和的紫色魔法，阿斯特丽德周围的沙子被搅动起来。 一阵旋转的沙旋风包围了巫师。 “德雷克,现在!”格里菲斯敦促。
