第三章:计划出问题了(13)
Timing was everything.
The first Dragon Rebellion dragons plunged around the corner, and Hiccup let fly one, two, three, four, five, six arrows.
With a shriek of shock, the first dragon, a Razorwing, was hit. It went spiralling into the pack behind, and then plummeted down into the gorge. There was a brief, squalling moment of confusion. But it was enough. By the time the pack had righted themselves and recovered their concentration, their prey had disappeared.
Windwalker, the Hurricane and their riders had vanished down the entrance to the underground treehouse, and the Dragon Rebellion, drooling and enraged, could not see Hiccup hovering only twenty feet away from them on the back of the Deadly Shadow, which had reared up to conceal its rider. The Razorwings swam in the air, barking at each other, and eventually set off further down the gorge, where they supposed the prey must have gone.
Hiccup breathed again.
And then it happened.
