第二十三章：有些龙是真的怪物(9)

What had he written about them in his notebooks? The Monster had a small weak spot right in the middle of its forehead. There was only one way he could reach that small vulnerable spot, given that the Monster was so heavily armed with talons and teeth. If he could get the creature to believe that he was dead, it would want to swallow him immediately. He would then have to allow the creature to swallow him whole and look for the opportunity to attack the creature’s only vulnerable spot. He’d have to be patient. He’d have to let the Monster swallow him at least up to the knees, so that it would be harder for it to react when Hiccup reached down and plunged his sword into the weak spot. Thank Thor he had a sword on him, or rather, thank Camicazi. If she hadn’t stowed away in his sand- yacht and given him her spare sword, he wouldn’t even be able to carry out this totally desperate and ridiculous plan. The success of Hiccup’s plan depended on one crucial point. The creature would have to swallow him from the right end, that is, starting with his feet. There wasn’t a lot he could do if it started swallowing his head.
