8. THE SHADOW PHANTOMS

CHAPTER 8 THE SHADOW PHANTOMS The Shadow Dragon reared back his head. Drake tensed. What is Chaya going to do? he wondered. A low humming noise came from the dragon as wispy shadows flowed from his mouth. The shadows quickly took shape into creatures with arms, yellow eyes, and creepy mouths.

第八章影子幽灵影子龙仰起头来。 德雷克绷紧。Chaya要做什么？ 他想知道。龙嘴里吐出缕缕影子，发出低沉的嗡嗡声。 这些影子很快变成了长着手臂、黄眼睛和令人毛骨悚然的嘴巴的生物。

Drake and Jean sprang into action. "Worm, freeze those shadow phantoms!" Drake yelled. "Argent, use your shine!" cried Jean. The phantoms zoomed forward, extending their wispy arms. Drake felt a cold chill as they got closer.

德雷克和琼立即行动起来。 “虫子，冻结那些影子幽灵！”德雷克喊道。 “阿金，用你的光！”琼叫道。 幽灵们急速向前，伸出纤细的手臂。 他们走近时，德雷克感到一阵寒意。

Worm closed his eyes, and a green light spread across his body as he concentrated on freezing the phantoms. Then he shook his head. I can't freeze them! he told Drake. Suddenly, Argent let out a piercing shriek. He started to flap his wings.

Worm闭上眼睛，当他集中精力冷冻幽灵时，一道绿光传遍了他的身体。 然后他摇了摇头。我冻不起来！他告诉德雷克。 突然，阿金特发出一声刺耳的尖叫。 他开始拍打翅膀。

A bright silver shine flowed from Argent's wings, pushing back the creatures. Drake had seen Argent's shine power before. He could reflect any dragon's attack. Now the shadow phantoms slammed back into Chaya. But the dragon simply gobbled them up! A burst of red light shot from his eyes.

一道明亮的银光从阿金特的翅膀上流出来，把这些生物往后推了推。 德雷克以前见过阿金特的光芒。 他能反射出任何龙的攻击。 现在，影子幽灵又撞回了查雅。 但是龙直接把它们吞了下去！他的眼睛里射出一道红光。

"Fools!" Aruna cried with a wicked grin. "You have only made Chaya more powerful!" Our dragons' powers aren't working against Chaya, Drake thought. What can we do? There was no time for a backup plan. Chaya flew toward them. He flapped his wings, and a thick black shadow moved toward Drake, Jean, Worm, and Argent.

“傻瓜!”阿鲁纳邪恶地笑着叫道。 “你只会让查雅变得更强大！”我们龙的力量对查雅不起作用，德雷克想。 我们能做什么？没有时间制定备用计划。 Chaya朝他们飞去。他拍打着翅膀，一个厚厚的黑影向德雷克、琼、Worm和阿金特移动。

Goose bumps popped up on Drake's arms as he felt a cold chill again. The black shadow transformed into an eerie gray fog... When the fog lifted, Drake, Jean, and their dragons were no longer on the temple steps. They were in some kind of desert, and everything around them looked gray. The sand and sky were gray, and there were no buildings, only strange gray plants. Then Drake heard a voice behind them: "Welcome to the Shadow Realm."

德雷克再次感到一阵寒意，他的手臂起了鸡皮疙瘩。 黑影变成了可怕的灰雾。 雾散去后，德雷克、琼和他们的龙不再站在寺庙的台阶上。 他们身处某种沙漠之中，周围的一切都显得灰蒙蒙的。 沙滩和天空都是灰色的，没有建筑物，只有奇怪的灰色植物。 接着，德雷克听到他们身后有个声音：“欢迎来到暗影王国。”
