遭遇掘洞的死神,第二部分
来自Abd al-Hazir的手稿                                 编号:004

As I began to fall,Burroughs grabbed me by the scruff of my collar andshook me violently."You really want to feed some thresher, don't you,al-Hazir?" he asked."What, haven't you seen scavengers before?"


当我正要跌倒的时候,Burroughs抓住我的后颈衣领把我提了起来并且粗暴的晃动着."你真的很想去喂喂某条长尾鲛是么,al-Hazir?"他问道."什么?你以前没有见过食腐者?"

QUOTE:
Ihad indeed seen scavengers: small, burrowing creatures that feeduponcarrion. Unlike most animals of this type, however, they areextremelyaggressive and will not hesitate to attack those unfortunateenough toencounter them. Scavengers have powerful legs which they usefor swiftspringing attacks, striking at vulnerable faces and throats.Theiranatomy bears a striking resemblance to that of the leapers oftheAranoch desert, and thus, many researchers classify the two groupsaspart of the same family of creatures. An ensorcelled (some saydemonic)variant is known to have plagued adventurers in the Tristramregiontwenty-odd years ago as well. Scavengers were also the cause ofanextremely distressing episode during my youth, which I need notrelateat this juncture.


我以前其实见过食腐者:一种体型小,善于挖洞的生物,专吃尸体的腐肉.与大多数同样食腐的动物不同的是,它们非常具有攻击性,会毫不犹豫的攻击那些不幸遭遇到它们的人.食腐者拥有一对有力的腿,借此它们可以发动快速的跳跃攻击,目标直指毫无防备的脸和喉咙.它们的骨骼结构和Aranoch沙漠的跳跃者的骨骼结构有一个明显的相似点.而正是如此,许多研究者把这两个种群归为生物学上同一个科目的两个不同的分支.二十多年前,一个已知的令人迷惑的(有人说是受恶魔力量影响的)异变同样使崔斯特瑞姆地区的探险者受到了感染.而食腐者也是我童年时期一个令人痛苦的事件的起因.但在这样一个紧要关头,我就不需要再详述这个童年的痛苦回忆了.

QUOTE:
"Yep.Burrowers to catch a burrower," he said. He then took the lengthsofrope hanging from the cage and impaled them on the ground using aheavypike. He also attached what looked like long knives to the sidesof hisheavy, scarred boots, and drove the blades into the ground.


"对.用会掘洞的怪物去抓同样会掘洞的怪物,"他说.然后他拉住从笼中垂吊出来的绳子,用一个沉重的矛头把绳头牢牢的钉在地上.同时他紧了紧绑在他那沉重,布满伤痕的靴子边上的长刀模样的刀子,之后用力把刀刃打入地面.

QUOTE:
Iwas extremely tense by this point. I felt naked and exposed. Whatinsanity had convinced me that coming out here was a good idea?


这时我极度的紧张,我感到我完全赤身罗体,毫无防备.当初是不是我精神错乱了?我竟然会觉得来这里是一个好主意.

QUOTE:
Ilooked out over the wastes in the fading light, trying to detect thetelltale horned fins of the thresher cutting through the surface of thesand.


我望着昏暗月光下的荒野,试着寻找长尾鲛那块刺穿沙面的带刺的鳍.而这样的鳍预示着长尾鲛的到来.

QUOTE:
Withabsolutely no warning, the dune thresher violently broke the surface,all three scavengers caught in his horrifying maw. There was a massiveexplosion of sand as the thresher dove back into the ground with itsprize. The ropes immediately snapped taut, and I thought Burroughswould be pulled to his death. I didn't understand how he thought hecould reel in a monster that huge, but he wasn't even trying ? justholding on.


没有任何的预兆沙丘长尾鲛粗暴的打碎了地面,3只食腐者都被它那骇人的大颚牢牢咬住.长尾鲛带着他的战利品重新潜入地面,激起了一场巨大的沙爆.所有的绳子瞬间被咬的紧紧绷直,我以为Burroughs会被活活拖下去死掉.我不明白他为何会认为自己可以拉起这么大的怪物,不过他甚至没有尝试往回拉,只是站在原地坚持着.

QUOTE:
After several tense seconds that stretched towards eternity, the rope began making weird jerking motions.


这是令人紧张得难以呼吸的几秒种,这几秒钟仿佛就像人的一生那样漫长.这几秒钟过去之后,绳子不可思议的开始扭动起来.

QUOTE:
"Ah. The little buggers are doing their work." He smiled a ghastly smile. "Shouldn't be long now."


"啊,小家伙们开始工作了."他露出恐怖的笑容."很快就会结束了."

QUOTE:
Afew more moments of this strangeness passed, and the thrashing of theropes became less and less. Finally, he began to haul his catch in.When it was partially on the rocks, I could see what had happened. Thethresher had swallowed the scavengers whole, and they, in turn, hadbegun eating their way out of the thresher's stomach before the beast'sdigestive juices had killed them. One scavenger still clung to life,but barely. It had actually dug itself halfway out of the thresher,clawing at the air as its skin was slowly eaten away. I vomited.


绳子诡异的扭动持续了一会儿,之后绳子的扭动变得越来越微弱.最后,他开始往回拉手中的绳子.当长尾鲛身体的一部分被拉到岩石上之后,我终于能够明白刚才发生了什么.长尾鲛把食腐者活活吞了下去,之后,在被长尾鲛的消化液杀死之前,这些食腐者依次把长尾鲛的胃吃穿了,跑了出去.一只食腐者还依附在长尾鲛的活体中,不过就快出来了.它实际上正从长尾鲛体内往外挖,已经挖到了半路.长尾鲛的爪子痛苦的在空气中乱抓,它的皮肤正在被一点一点的吃掉.我呕吐了起来.

QUOTE:
Burroughs,laughing at me once again as he cut off the beast's triangular head,began lecturing me on the amazing dune thresher: the dynamics of itsjutting, angular lower jaw, which cuts a path through the soil; the waythis jaw design enables the thresher to swim effortlessly beneath thesand with unimaginable swiftness; and much more that I didn't care tohear just then. I nodded my head weakly and wondered how long it wouldbe before I could politely get myself home and crawl into bed.


Burroughs割下了长尾鲛三角形的头,同时又一次的嘲笑了我.之后他给我上了一堂关于沙丘长尾鲛,这种令人惊异的生物的课:长尾鲛能用它突起的,带角的下颚在土里掘出一条通道;这个由大自然鬼斧神工制造出来的下颚令长尾鲛能够在沙子下面毫不费力的游动,灵活得令人无法想象;还有其它许多的内容,可是现在我实在是听不进去.我虚弱的点点头,然后开始盘算我还要花多少时间才能安稳的回到自己的家,然后爬到舒适的床上去.

原画很凶猛啊,flash中的表现也很cool

我慢慢瘫倒，Burroughs抓住我的后脖领并且拼命的摇晃我。“你真的想把自己喂了沙鳄吗， al-Hazir？”他说。“你之前没见过清道夫吗？”

我当然见过：身形短小，靠腐肉为生的会打洞生物。但是它们却不像绝大部分这样类型的动物一样，他们进攻性十足并且会毫不犹豫的攻击任何遇到他们的倒霉生物。它们的腿强健有力，是实施迅速跳跃打击的完美工具，而跳跃打击则是敌人脆弱面部和喉咙的噩梦。他们的结构与Aranoch沙漠的一种跳跃生物大致相当，所以许多学者将这两个品种归为同一个门类。一类的（有人则说是魔化的）变种被人们所知，因为它们20多年前同样折磨过崔斯特瑞姆的冒险者们。清道夫也是给我年轻时代造成重大阴影的原因，但在这个紧要关头似乎没有空闲讲述陈年往事

“好吧，为了抓住打洞者的打洞者。。。”他说。然后他拿起一段从笼子里出来的绳子并用重矛将绳子插在地上。他还把一把类似长匕首的东西别进磨痕累累的重靴里，再将利剑插在了地上。

“你最好站远一点。”说罢，他抓着绳子，同时打开了笼子一边的锁闩。然后把笼子扔了出去，笼子随即便在清道夫摆脱限制的疯狂渴望下瓦解了。我惊呆了，甚至没来得及去想Burroughs是怎么在这些邪恶的野兽钻进柔软沙地之前把绳子栓在他们脖子上的。

我被眼前这一幕幕所惊呆。我立即觉得自己被毫无保护的暴露在外。我到底是发了什么疯才会想到跑到这里这个“好”主意的？

我借助着渐渐消退的光线向远处荒地望去，试图发现沙鳄破沙而出时露在外面的可怕的角状鳍。

然而在完全没有预兆的情况下沙鳄从沙地中突然窜出，全部三只清道夫同时被吞入它那恐怖的嗉囊中。当沙鳄带着它的战利品钻回沙坑里时，沙地像炸开了一样。我不知道他怎么会认为他能对抗如此庞大的怪兽，而他现在，却什么什么也不做。

在过了漫长的几秒后，绳子开始奇怪的摆动。

“嘿嘿，这些小畜生开始干活了。”他的脸上露出了诡异的笑。“差不多快了。”

在过了一会儿，奇怪的抖动慢慢停了下来。最后，他开始拖拽他的猎物。当它慢慢被拖到岩石上的时候，我才恍然大悟。沙鳄把清道夫整个吞了进去，作为回报，清道夫得在被巨兽的消化液化掉之前从它的胃中【吃】出一条血路。一只清道夫还在挣扎，但也奄奄一息。它其实已经马上就从沙鳄的体内出来了，爪子在空中挥舞，皮肤在慢慢被腐蚀。我忍不住吐了。

Burroughs，在切下沙鳄的三角形脑袋时又一次冲我笑了笑，然后开始向我讲解这神奇的沙鳄：有力的突臂，尖利的下颚，这些可以让它在土地里开出一条通道；下颚的性状可以让它毫不费力的在沙漠之下以不可想象的速度游弋；我基本没有理会他的说教。我只是微微（其实是微弱的）得点着头，心里想着我还有多久才能优雅的跺进我的卧室，然后，钻进我的被窝。。。

很丑啊~

确实丑啊~~
