第二十章:噢,天哪(2)
龙咆哮着,挣扎着,但它的脚无法挣脱。
小嗝嗝把他的头伸出沙艇的边缘,喊道:“如果你让我靠近,我可以把你的脚从捕龙陷阱中解放出来!”
接着,一道闪电呼啸着从他头顶飞过,他一低头,闻到了头发烧焦的气味。
一时间一片寂静,只听见龙头们互相争论的声音。
最后,耐心叫道:“过来吧……”
小嗝嗝小心翼翼向前走。致命影龙侧身躺着,他在颤抖。小嗝嗝看到陷阱,咽了口唾沫。
那是个巨大的装置,也是他所见过最复杂的一个,一个像发条一样复杂且残忍的精妙装置。它的复杂程度远远超过了完成这项可怕工作所需要的程度,就好像它的制造者在设计它的时候是在炫耀自己一样。
小嗝嗝抚慰地摸着巨龙闪闪发光的一面。
“我能做到的……”他说。“我能做到的……”感谢雷神,他花了六个月的时间学习如何解除捕龙陷阱。小嗝嗝脱下马甲,跪在陷阱旁边。
卡米卡琪抽出两把剑,绕着致命影龙踱步,就像他今天早些时候绕着小嗝嗝和卡米卡琪踱步一样。

The second trap snapped shut, catching the Deadly Shadow in its cruel jaws. The Deadly Shadow put back its heads and howled the truly dreadful howl that a dragon howls when it is caught in a trap. It is an awful sound, for a dragon is a wild creature of the air, and so its horror of being trapped is such a ghastly wail of ultimate despair it is almost unbearable.
