第十六章:“我的牙齿......我的牙齿在哪?”(7)
‘You stole my tooth,’ spat the Vampire Spydragon savagely, ‘and now I have found it, I shall finish the meal that I began…’
It crouched for a second, bat wings stretched out. And then it sprang, and sank its vampire jaws deep into Hiccup’s left arm, exactly where it had bitten him only twenty-four hours earlier.
Hiccup screamed, and desperately hit the Vampire Spydragon around its ghastly head. Windwalker attacked it too, raking at its thick hairy hide.
But the Vampire Spydragon would not let go.
Ironically, Hiccup’s whole left side – arm, shoulder, leg and everything – had just begun to feel slightly better. Now he could feel the paralysis creeping back, a deadening numbness, and as he looked down, he saw the black-purple stain flowering again.
Vampire Spydragons don’t let go, thought Hiccup. They have jaws like bear-traps and they never let go…
Hiccup tried to remember all that he knew about Vampire Spydragons, whether they had any weak points, but his mind was so confused by the pain in his arm he could not remember anything at all.
