第二十章：威力蓄须王的最后一曲(13)
Hiccup was steering the boat very close to the Wind now. Snotlout was sailing very close to the wind himself, for though the Windwalker could fly much faster than the Bullguards, Snotlout was deliberately flying the dragon slowly to make himself a more tempting lure to chase.
The maddened swarm converged on Snotlout so closely that Hiccup thought for one heartstopping moment that they might have caught him.
And then Snotlout pulled out an impudent Death Dive, steering Windwalker down, down, like he was a peregrine falcon diving, at over one hundred and eighty miles per hour, towards the sea.
The Bullguards followed, plunging after him like arrows falling from the sky.
At the absolute last minute, Snotlout brought Windwalker out of the dive, so late that the Windwalker brushed the tops of the waves with the tips of his wings.
A large number of Bullguards could not correct themselves in time, and went plunging into the water. Many others put the brakes on in the nick of time, but were put off course, and went spiralling into other Bullguards. When the swarm righted itself, squawking, and set off in pursuit once more, they had lost about a third of their number, who were picking themselves up out of the sea.
