"They must have been putting that together for all five minutes," said Momoe. "If we'd attacked while theywere doing it, we could've destroyed them.""Eat it, Momoe," whispered Bee. "You saw the way that little kid flew. He went all the way around the star andback behind without ever touching a wall. Maybe they've all got hooks, did you think of that? They've gotsomething new there."The formation was a strange one. A square formation of tightly-packed bodies in front, making a wall. Behindit, a cylinder, six boys in circumference and two boys deep, their limbs outstretched and frozen so they couldn'tpossibly be holding on to each other. Yet they held together as tightly as if they had been tied -- which, in fact,they were.From inside the formation, Dragon Army was firing with deadly accuracy, forcing Griffins and Tigers to staytightly packed on their stars."The back of that sucker is open,"said Bee. "As soon as they get between the stars, we can get around behind--""Don't talk about it, do it!" said Momoe. Then he took his own advice and ordered his boys to launch againstthe wall and rebound out behind the Dragon formation.In the chaos of their takeoff, while Griffin Army held tight to their stars, the Dragon formation abruptlychanged. Both the cylinder and the front wall split in two, as boys inside it pushed off; almost at once, theformations also reversed direction, heading back toward the Dragon gate. Most of the Griffins fired at theformations and the boys moving backward with them; and the Tigers took the survivors of Dragon Army frombehind.But there was something wrong. William Bee thought for a moment and realized what it was. Those formationscouldn't have reversed direction in midflight unless someone pushed off in the opposite direction, and if theytook off with enough force to make that twenty-man formation move backward, they must be going fast.第 227 页 共 340 页http://www.en8848.com.cn/ 原 版 英 语 阅 读 网
