When Gong Hao hurried to Area 56, he saw that Andrew was already there.

There was also a servant kneeling on the ground, being trampled under the feet of a puppet warrior. It looks like if Andrew gives the order, and the servant will fall to the ground.

In order to better control these servants, Andrew doesn't mind wasting resources when necessary, killing one or two miners to deter the rest.

"Lord Andrew. Gong Hao ran over and bowed to Andrew first.

"Gler, you have been derelict in your duties. "Andrew's tone is extremely unpleasant.

Gong Hao's heart trembled.

On the way here, Fink had already told him what had happened.

There are about fourteen species of magical beasts in Area 56, all of which are relatively rare species.

The most precious of them are the pair of blazing birds in the cage.

The blazing bird is born with the ability to communicate with magic elves, and can release various fire-based spells, making it a high-level magical beast. Due to the abundance of elemental energy in their bodies, their blood can be used to make good mana recovery potions. Perhaps the most precious of all potions, the Mana Recovery Potion requires a large number of materials, among which the blood of elemental birds is indispensable. The magic recovery potion made from the blood of the blazing bird can not only help the mage recover his own mana, but more importantly, it can also increase the mage's fire element sensing ability, which can be said to be the foundation of the mage's life, which shows its great usefulness.

During the Hundred Years' War, elemental birds such as the Blazing Bird and the Polar Ice Bird were hunted and killed by human alchemists in large quantities and used to make various mana recovery potions and elemental induction amplification potions. Although they are extremely fierce and powerful, no matter how powerful the magical beasts are, they cannot stand up to humans who are good at organizing and using all means.

After that, the Blazing Bird and other magical beasts gradually disappeared. Although alternative materials were later found from other monsters, none of them worked better than the blood of elemental birds. Not to mention increasing elemental sensing abilities.

Half a year ago, Lancelot brought back a pair of blazing birds in the central area of Purgatory Island, and he himself was also covered in bruises and almost died. From that day on, extracting the blood of the Blazing Bird to refine mana recovery potions and elemental induction potions became another major contribution of Purgatory Island to the Empire.

Since there was only one pair of blazing birds, Hines ordered them to be given special care. Draw the blood of a blazing bird every seven days, and change it again the next week, so in turn, once every half a month, with the strong vitality of the blazing bird, there will be no danger to life.

Elemental birds have always appeared in pairs, and they were loyal to each other to their respective mates until death. If one of them dies, the other will never live alone. In the first place, humans used this characteristic of the elemental bird to successfully set traps and capture the elemental bird again and again.

However, what no one expected was that these partners were loyal to each other to a level that humans could not even imagine. When the young servant in charge of Area 56 was drawing the blood of the Blazing Bird, he never dreamed that for three months, he would actually draw the blood of the same Blazing Bird.

Now, in the tall birdcage, the blazing bird that had been drawn blood finally couldn't stand it.

It lay down in its cage, its flaming red wings dimmed, and its life was fading. Her mate, a female blazing bird, was mournfully guarding her husband, hissing from time to time.

Her eyes were full of sadness.

"Ejie, didn't I ask you to put a number plate on them to distinguish them?" Gong Hao asked the kneeling servant.

The servant trembled and replied, "I hung up, but I didn't expect the bird to change the number plate." ”

The anger in Gong Hao's heart suddenly rose: "But I told you to hang the magic number plate, the Blazing Bird is a very intelligent creature. ”

"I ......" Poor Egje could have imagined that the blazing bird would be so smart. At that time, he thought that Gong Hao's order was just a superfluous move, so he didn't care. Since they look exactly the same, ordinary people can't tell the difference at all. Agey's negligence caused the male blazing bird to secretly change the number plate every time, and he was the one who was drawn every time.

Only then did Edge remember why the blazing birds, which had been known for their loyalty and love for their mates some time ago, often showed signs of fighting in their cages. It turns out that they don't love each other, but they love each other too much.

It's just that females obviously can't compete with males, which leads to this consequence.

At this moment, looking at her dying husband, the female blazing bird let out an angry roar at the outside of the cage.

It spewed out a large gasp of flames and slammed into the walls of the magic cage, but it didn't hurt the other in the slightest.

Probably also aware that her actions were useless, the female blazing bird gave up the attack and lay sadly on her husband's body.

Gong Hao could even see that tears were flashing in the eyes of this fire-attribute elemental bird.

Blazing birds, who shed tears only once in their lives, and that was crying for their mate.

Gong Hao sighed softly, he knew that if this male flaming bird died, then this female would never live alone.

Andrew let out a long breath, and although he knew that it was not Gong Hao's responsibility, he still said coldly: "Gler, many times people may not do exactly what you tell them to do. They are often lazy, clever and self-righteous. If you think that you have thought about it, commanded, ordered, and the thing is done, then you are very wrong. In any case, you have an unshirkable responsibility in this matter. ”

The other chief servant on the side, Cisher, couldn't help but say, "My lord, is there no way to save it?"

Andrew shook his head: "Elemental creatures, it's not for us to save. And we've never done anything about it. ”

That is, you just studied and killed. Gong Hao said viciously in his heart.

Compared to these magical beasts with sincere feelings, perhaps humans are the real beasts!

Either way, however, the current crisis must be resolved. Gong Hao never wanted this to be the reason for him to be sent into the valley next month.

Something must be done to revive the blazing birds.

But how to save the problems that Andrew can't solve, how can he solve them?

I became more and more anxious.

Suddenly, he remembered Bloody Orchid.

The eyes are bright, yes, life has its own way out!

He cried out, "My lord, I have a way to save it." ”

Andrew was overjoyed and said, "Is there any way?"

Gong Hao gritted his teeth and finally shouted, "Let it go." ”

"Let it go?" Andrew was taken aback, only to hear Gong Hao already say quickly: "We can't save it because we don't know about it." But as a high-level magical beast with wisdom, I believe it must have a way to save itself. We all know that some Warcraft will flee to certain places after being injured. They always have a natural sense of what gives them life. I've seen records of the Hundred Years' War, and this hasn't happened once or twice in the process of humans capturing monsters. The monsters licked their wounds and made a comeback, sometimes even causing great casualties to humans. I believe that there must be a place or opportunity on Purgatory Island to bring it back to life. But it won't tell us. As long as it is released, it will save itself. ”

Andrew roared, "But what does a flaming bird mean to us? I'd rather it die now, or at least it has blood in it for a few times." Once you fly away, won't there be nothing?"

Gong Hao replied calmly: "You're right, this is indeed a risk. But I'm sure it will come back. ”

"You say it's going to throw itself into the net and let us catch it?" Andrew wanted to laugh, isn't this kid crazy?

But Gong Hao said: "Yes, it will fall into the net and get back into this cage by itself." ”

"Why?"

"For here is his most cherished being, more precious than his life—his wife. Gong Hao pointed with one hand and pointed at the female blazing bird who was crying in front of her husband.

Andrew was silent.

He didn't expect Gong Hao's thinking to be so sharp, and he immediately grasped the crux of the problem.

That's right, even if the male blazing bird was released, he would never have left. It will not be willing to leave his wife.

"So what if it can't save itself?"

"Then we'll just lose that little blood in the body of a blazing bird, that's all. My lord, if he is alive, he will provide us with a steady stream of benefits, but if he dies, we will have to dig up the last inheritance from the corpse. If you can, I believe that adults should try to gamble and give it a try. ”

Andrew suddenly felt that Gong Hao's words were not only talking about the blazing bird, but also about himself.

A living life is always more valuable than a dead one.

He nodded, more and more affirming the kid's wisdom.

"Very well, just do as you say. Whether this succeeds or not, Gler, I will not punish you again. If the blazing bird doesn't make it back, we're out of luck. If it flies back, I'll give you some reward. You can start by thinking about what reward you want. ”

"Thank you, sir, let's save him first. Gong Hao replied quietly.

The dying blazing bird was released.

Gong Hao is anxiously waiting for news every day.

A day passed, and another day passed.

For many days, there was no result.

Even Andrew became a little anxious and ran over to ask Gong Hao if the bird was dead, or if he didn't plan to come back at all.

Looking at his anxious appearance, it was as if he had forgotten that he had promised that even if the Blazing Bird did not come back, he would not punish Gong Hao.

Gong Hao pointed to the female blazing bird in the cage and replied, "From the moment her partner flew away, she didn't eat or drink, she kept waiting. Until the day before yesterday, she suddenly resumed eating and drinking, and I think it must be because her husband has recovered. Today, I can even hear her singing loudly, and her voice is full of joy. I think...... It was her husband coming back. ”

Andrew was a little confused: "How could she know about her husband?"

Gong Hao replied: "Maybe it's because of the heart." ”

Andrew then sighed: "There are always many things in this world that we don't understand and don't understand. Even an alchemist cannot understand all existence. ”

The next day, the male blazing bird returned healthy.
