After I became a zookeeper

Luo Jia looked serious, and his demeanor was more condensed and stern than the black combat soldier behind him, like a cold knife out of its sheath.

He put his left hand on his waist, stroking the hanging peacock feathers, holding a gun in his right hand, with cold white fingers gently hooking the black trigger.

"Fenghuang, come back with us."

The voice is dignified, it is an order, but there is also fear.

Ye Zhi's eyes widened instantly when he heard the words, the big red bird on his shoulder was actually a phoenix!A fantasy creature that existed only in legends in his original world.

Although I don't know if the two are the same species, and if this big bird just borrowed the name of Phoenix, Ye Zhi feels that it fully deserves the name Phoenix.

Whether it is its feathers like a beautiful fire, or its flying posture carrying wind and rain, or its singing that can be heard for hundreds of miles, it is all heartbreaking.

Ye Zhi slowly recovered from the shock that the bird beside him was Phoenix, and looked at the group of "bad-hearted" people in the distance.

From what Ye Zhi saw before, Fenghuang has been detained and controlled. Now that he appears here, and there are so many people chasing him, he must have escaped. Now they want to catch Fenghuang and bring him back.

Just, what is the reason?

Ye Zhi didn't expect that although the other animals in the garden were kept in the garden, the area where they lived was not even fenced.

Last time Ye Zhi recklessly proposed to add a guardrail beside the lake to prevent mermaids from attacking, and was reprimanded by Luo Jia for depriving him of his freedom.

Then why did they lock the phoenix, which should be flying in the infinite sky, in a grid cage that is so cramped for it?

Facing Luo Jia who has been providing him with help since he came to Honghuang Zoo, Ye Zhi is completely on the opposite side of him this time.

He asked, "Why did you arrest him? Why did you lock him up?"

Ye Zhi looked at Luo Jia, "Last time you said that setting up a fence by the lake is to restrict the freedom of mermaids, so what do you say now that you take the lead to catch him back?"

Facing Ye Zhi's questioning, Luo Jia just glanced at Ye Zhi lightly, and his eyes didn't even stay on him for a second.

He seemed to have never known Ye Zhi, and at this moment he only focused on the phoenix standing on the shoulder of the person, and made a gesture, and the group of people behind him spread spontaneously, and surrounded the Phoenix and the implicated Ye Zhi in a well-trained manner.

"Fenghuang, I know you understand, if you don't leave, we have nothing to do with you," Luo Jia said lightly, but the meaning in the words made Ye Zhi's heart tighten.

He only heard his next sentence: "You are not afraid of pain. The current gun in our hand can't hurt you, and the current net can't catch you. What about the person under you?"

Ye Zhi's expression froze, Luo Jia was threatening Phoenix with himself!

"Isn't he your kind?!" Ye Zhi was so angry for the first time, using force and irrelevant people to force others to submit, these methods are disgusting, let alone they are using this to deal with a bird.

Luo Jia's eyes turned, and now they also fell on Ye Zhi.

"Is there anything special about this degenerate human? You broke through Feng Qiwu's power grid and ran here for him?"

Luo Jia's tone was a little unbelievable, after all, the irritable big bird he saw was always going crazy, and there was no quiet moment.

But at this moment, the other party was not only quiet, but also squatted on the other person's shoulder very obediently.Because the shoulders are too narrow compared to the big bird's huge body, it also squeezes its claws together aggrievedly.

This scene really stunned a combat soldier who was used to dealing with Phoenix, and Luo Jia, who was standing in the front, had to accept this phenomenon after being surprised at the beginning.

Maybe he can understand.

He used to think that Ye Zhi had an affinity with animals, and it was normal for animals to like him and be close to him, and indeed some people were born with such an affinity.

It's just that I didn't expect Phoenix to be attracted to him.After all, the other party is such a special existence.

But this scene now proves that Ye Zhi has such a strong affinity for animals.

Maybe he could take advantage of this, Luo Jia narrowed his eyes, thinking of his responsibilities in the Primordial Zoo.

On the other side, Ye Zhi heard Luo Jia say that the phoenix broke through the power grid, and immediately looked worriedly at the big red bird that Anhao landed on his shoulder. The other party couldn't speak, and he couldn't know that he was injured.

He reached out to stroke the feathers of the other party, and the big bird lowered its head to let him stroke it according to his movements, and gave a soft "chirp", as if it was also soothing Ye Zhi.

Ye Zhi leaned over her head and gently rubbed against Fenghuang.

Luo Jia watched this scene calmly, for a long time, he said: "Fenghuang, let's go, I will come back."

Ye Zhi raised his head, this time the other party's words could be said to have some gentle meaning, as if they were spoken from an old friend.

But this time the phoenix didn't respond as before. He shook his wings, stretched his neck and rubbed against Ye Zhi's cheek, and then flew high, hovering over Ye Zhi's head three times, and flew in one direction. away from here.

The surrounding combat soldiers dispersed like a tide in an instant, and they all followed the direction where the Phoenix left, and the formation was orderly.

Ye Zhi looked away from the back where the Phoenix had disappeared, and looked at Luo Jia who was still here.

"Aren't you following?" Ye Zhi asked.

At this moment, he didn't know what attitude he should take towards Lorgar.

They were strangers at first, and then they became friends, which should be counted.

After the confrontation just now, the difference in position between the two was revealed, which put the relationship between the two in a strange position.

"I have something to tell you." Lorgar smiled.

Ye Zhi pursed her lips, "Listen carefully."

Luo Jia bent his eyes, and after the group of combat soldiers left behind him, he returned to the way Ye Zhi had seen him before, smooth and soft, as if he had lost his identity as the leader of the combat soldiers, and had become a relaxed state.

"You are very attractive to animals, have you been like this since you were a child?"

Ye Zhi hesitated for a moment, then nodded.He was indeed very fond of animals since he was a child, but it was in his original world.Animals in this world are different, so I don't know if we can generalize them.

"You've seen Phoenix before?" Lorgar added, "except the first time you came to the zoo with me."

"Well, I went to Fengqiwu once." Ye Zhi looked at Luo Jia, "After that, I wanted to feed the phoenix, but I was rejected by the personnel department, and I met you when I came out."

"At that time, I said that the judging rules had been changed, and I told you to go to the Mermaid Pavilion," Luo Jia looked back at each other, "I didn't lie to you, I don't mind if you go to feed the phoenix, it doesn't matter whoever is in that position, it's just a mechanic."

Ye Zhi looked at Luo Jia, but didn't know what to ask.The attitude of the other party was as if he would answer everything he asked, which was very different from when he was holding the gun just now, like two people.

No one spoke, and the two stood in relative silence.

After a long time, Luo Jia broke the silence, "The pterodactyl came back from the battlefield, he was injured, go and feed him."

"What battlefield?" Ye Zhi asked.

The first time I saw Phoenix at the zoo, Luo Jia blurted out, "Why is he back? Has the war been won?"

Ye Zhi didn't understand at that time, and didn't ask much.

Now the other party took the initiative to disclose information, he wanted to know more about Phoenix, why he was imprisoned, and why he went to the battlefield.

Perhaps there is some causal link between these.

However, Luo Jia did not tell everything as Ye Zhi wished, which is also normal.

Luo Jia smiled slightly and said, "This is a test."

Ye Zhi was puzzled, "A test for me?"

"To see if you are unconditionally approached by all animals." Luo Jia turned around and was about to leave, "But it's okay to fail, you have been selected by the Phoenix, you are a special person."

Ye Zhi looked at the back of the other party, as long as it involved Phoenix, the other party would become that shrewd and capable leader again, this identity was very unfamiliar to him.

He finally called out to the other party, "Then what about the promise you made to me earlier? You said that after taking care of the mermaid, let me go to Fengqiwu."

Luo Jia stopped walking, didn't look back, and waved back, "When Phoenix comes back, I'll take you to Fengqiwu. As for now..."

Ye Zhi waited for the other party's arrangement.

"I won't take you there personally this time," Luo Jia continued to walk outside, "Look at the road signs, or ask for directions, and take care of the pterosaur."

Luo Jia's back gradually disappeared among the layers of bamboo, Ye Zhi looked away, calmed down, and looked at the three pandas lying at her feet.

Good thing they didn't understand anything.

Ye Zhi looked at the three little birds who were lying in the grass two steps away and lost the ability to fly. The crow held his head and felt that Ye Zhi was looking at them, and his wings were trembling.

"I didn't hear anything, I didn't see anything."

Ye Zhi: "..." Even if you hear something you shouldn't hear, you shouldn't be afraid of him.

What's more, Luo Jia was almost tight-lipped and tight-lipped, never revealing any important information.

"It won't be silenced," Ye Zhi comforted, "Phoenix has already left, and Luo Jia has also left, so you don't have to be afraid anymore."

Crow: "Who is scared?" However, the voice lacked breath.

Ye Zhi smiled, but didn't point it out, and found another topic to divert the topic.

"The pterosaur Lorgar mentioned, do you know which area it is in?"

"Well, I know," Bai Ling answered, "In Fengxia Mountain, it's very close to Fengqiwu, almost neighbors."

Bai Ling's tone changed when he mentioned Feng Qiwu, but he didn't repel him as before.

It may be that the impact of facing them directly this time was too great, and the relationship between them and Ye Zhi returned to what it was before, and the awkward feeling after the conflict disappeared.

Ye Zhi picked up a panda cub and asked Bai Ling and the others, "Can you still fly?"

Crows really don't want to admit the fact that they can't fly, it's embarrassing, but their wings are really too soft to stretch out, and they can't control the biological instinct suppressed by levels.

Seeing that they didn't answer, Ye Zhi also guessed that they were not in good condition, so he said, "Wait a minute, the bamboo forest here has been burned, I will send the pandas to other places, and then I will come back to pick you up, and then send you back."

Bailing and the others agreed.Ye Zhi did it one by one.

It was already noon when Ye Zhi sent them all back home.He was not in a hurry to eat.

Fengxia Mountain.

Ye Zhi looked in that direction, the Pterosaur who had just returned from being injured on the battlefield, could he get information about the Phoenix from there?
