13 The Prime Dragon Stone

CHAPTER 13 THE PRIME DRAGON STONE Drake looked the egg up and down. The egg looked... alive. Golden lightning bolts of energy shot out of it.

第十三章龙头石德雷克上下打量着那只蛋。 蛋看起来……活着。金色的能量闪电从里面射出。

The prime Dragon Stone was pale green now. Drake could tell it was weaker than ever. Then he noticed that a stream of green light sizzled between the Dragon Stone and the egg. It connected them. And as the stone got dimmer, the egg got brighter. "It looks like this egg is taking energy from the Dragon Stone," Drake said. He looked at Worm. A stream of green light flowed between Worm and the egg! The egg was taking energy from Worm, too.

最原始的龙石现在变成了淡绿色。 德雷克能感觉到它比以前更弱了。 接着，他注意到一道绿光在龙石和金蛋之间咝咝作响。 它把他们连接起来。随着石头变得越来越暗，蛋变得越来越亮。 “看起来这只蛋正在从龙石中汲取能量。”德雷克说。 他看着虫子。一道绿光从虫子和蛋之间流过！卵也从虫子身上吸取能量。

What am I supposed to do now? Drake wondered. We came so far to find the Dragon Stone. Now it's my job to save it. "But I don't know how!" Drake said out loud. "And even if I did, how will we get out of here if Worm has no energy?" Think, Drake, think, he told himself. The egg was taking energy from the Dragon Stone and Worm. So maybe all he had to do was move the egg away from them to break the connection. Push it away. But will I hurt the egg if I move it? Drake took a careful step toward the egg. The hair on his arms stood up. The air was crackling with energy! He slowly moved his hand toward the egg, and felt the tips of his fingers tingle.

我现在该怎么办？ 德雷克很好奇。我们大老远跑来找龙之石。 现在是我拯救它的时候了。 “但我不知道怎么做！”德雷克大声说。 “就算我找到了，如果虫子没有能量，我们怎么出去呢？”想想，德雷克，想想，他告诉自己。 蛋从龙石和蠕虫中汲取能量。 所以也许他只需要把蛋从他们身边移开就能断开连接。 把它推开。但是如果我动了它会不会伤到蛋呢？ 德雷克小心翼翼地朝蛋走去。 他胳膊上的汗毛都竖起来了。 空气中充满了能量！他慢慢地把手伸向那颗蛋，感到指尖发麻。

"Ow!" he yelled, pulling back his hand. He couldn't push the egg. He might get hurt. If Worm had energy, he could transport it out. But — Crack! Suddenly, the egg started to break apart. The lightning bolts of energy jumped toward Drake. Worm's eyes shot open. Worm's whole body glowed bright green. The Dragon Stone was glowing brightly, too.

“哎哟！”他大叫一声，把手缩回来。 他推不动蛋。他可能会受伤。 如果虫子有能量，他就能把能量运出去。 但是——啪！突然，鸡蛋开始破裂。 能量的闪电向德雷克扑来。 虫子的眼睛突然睁大了。虫子的整个身体都发着绿光。 龙石也在闪闪发光。

Golden light from inside the egg filled the room. Worm quickly wrapped his body around Drake to protect him. Drake shielded his eyes. The light became brighter and brighter. It almost blinded Drake. Whoosh! Worm and Drake disappeared from the pyramid.

从蛋里射出的金色光芒充满了整个房间。 Worm迅速地用身体包裹住Drake以保护他。 德雷克遮住了眼睛。光线变得越来越亮。 德雷克几乎被弄瞎了眼睛。嗖!Worm和Drake从金字塔里消失了。
