My wife is a dragon

The citizen ticket for the North City Zoo is 10 yuan, and can be purchased with an ID card.

If you don't have an ID card, you can buy a full-price ticket separately, which costs 58 yuan.

Lucia didn't have an ID card, so she could only buy a full-price ticket to enter.

Now most scenic spots have changed to electronic tickets. Fortunately, places like the zoo still retain traditional paper tickets, otherwise Lucia would have to find another way to enter the park.

"Here is a map. Where do you want to go first?"

Xia Li unfolded the paper map that came with the ticket in front of Lucia.

There was still a drop of yogurt on Lucia's little face, and she looked at it for a long time with her bright eyes.

I have seen many maps in the Aize continent before, but most of those maps are made of parchment, which is ugly and blurry, and it is simply incomparable to the real color map in front of me.

Lucia tiptoed for a long time and then concluded.

"Well, I don't understand."

"..."

Come to think of it, this guy can't even tell the east, south, west and north, so it's too difficult for her to read the map.

Xia Li brought Lucia to the zoo this time, and the place he wanted to go to the most was the beast area.

He wanted to see who was more suppressed between the pure-blooded dragons on the Eze continent and the top predators on the earth.

Of course, seeing which bloodline suppressed was purely a kind of fun.

The real thing was to educate Lucia about the species on the earth.

"Let's go, let's see the monkeys first."

As the finale of all zoos, the beast area is always hidden in the deepest part of the zoo. This division can not only increase the tourists' stay time, but also drive the commercial development of several surrounding parks.

Therefore, Xia Li gave up the idea of ​​going straight to the beast area after just a glance at the map, and had to go down one by one along the route on the map.

Xia Li came here with his family when he was a child. This place is not much different from his childhood memory. Except for some facilities that have been renovated, the layout of the entire zoo has not changed.

Walking along the paved gravel road, the sun shines through the dense leaves and falls on Lucia's face in patches.

Lucia is busy eating fruit.

... Is this evil dragon here to eat or visit the zoo? Why is she not interested in the animals around her? ?

They all passed by the bunny garden, but this guy just stared straight ahead.

Other girls would have squatted in front of the bunnies with their skirts pressed down and said coquettishly, "Wow~ The bunnies are so cute~~"

But this evil dragon is completely immune to small animals!

What Xia Li didn't know was that when she passed by the circle of white rabbit nests, Lucia's eyes did turn sideways.

However, what she was thinking in her mind was whether the more than 20 rabbits in this nest would be enough to fill her mouth when her dragon body opened its mouth.

However, rabbits have too much hair, and it's hard to eat enough rabbit meat...

After thinking about it, she decided to forget it.

Lucia slowed down her pace, and Xia Li took her to the monkey area.

The monkeys here are all locked in cages, which are about five meters long, wide and high, and are not quite a standard square.

Because of the fear that tourists would feed them randomly and monkeys would scratch tourists, the bottom two meters of the monkey cages were reinforced with wire mesh.

From Lucia's short angle, she could only barely see the messy vegetable leaves and unknown objects inside through the wire mesh.

"It stinks..."

Lucia pinched her nose and covered the fruit basket in her arms with the sleeve of her other hand.

"Oh oh oh!!"

At the end of the monkey area, a strong chimpanzee was locked up alone in an iron cage.

From the thickened double-layer iron mesh on the surface of the cage, it can be seen that this chimpanzee is already a habitual offender in this park.

Just as Lucia covered her nose and walked forward with disgust, the chimpanzee who was still dozing seemed to have discovered something, and ran over with his strong arms, making a sound that was not sure whether it was excited or dangerous.

Lucia looked at it carefully, and then took a small step back.

Xia Li, who had been observing Lucia, frowned.

Speaking of which, chimpanzees are also a kind of beast...

Could it be that the chimpanzees on Earth are more powerful than the evil dragons?

Just as Xia Li was analyzing this in his mind, the black, muscular chimpanzee took a step back as if threatened after approaching the cage.

It and Lucia retreated together, as if they were testing each other and both were startled.

However, the reason why Lucia was startled was different.

Lucia: "What an ugly thing."

Xia Li: "???"

I don't allow you to say that about the origin of humans!

Lucia's expression was particularly disgusted.

There are clever little monkeys on the Eze continent, but this is the first time Lucia has seen such an ugly big monkey.

"Oh oh oh..."

The chimpanzee who was still shouting excitedly just now shrank into the innermost corner of the cage, and his spirit was obviously much weaker. He pretended to play with the rotten leaves on the ground as if nothing had happened, and inadvertently looked up at Lucia, then turned around and turned his broad back towards the tourists.

Xia Li thought, what does this mean?

Xia Li didn't know whether it was afraid or not interested in its reaction.

"Xia Li, why are they locked in the cage?"

Lucia walked out of the monkey area and breathed a sigh of relief.

The smell in there was really bad. Lucia didn't dare to breathe deeply, and her face turned red.

She lowered her head and sniffed the fruit in the bowl. Fortunately, there was no strange smell.

"Some are born in cages, and some are caught from the wild." Xia Li explained to the evil dragon.

"Born in cages?"

Lucia looked back in surprise and glanced at the monkey area again.

The dragons have been pursuing freedom and unrestrainedness all their lives. This palm-sized iron cage is a nightmare for Lucia.

Most of the dragons caught in the Eze continent... as long as they are not dead, they live this kind of life.

"There are very few animals bred by the zoo itself," Xia Li saw that Lucia's expression was not very good, so he continued.

"In fact, most of them were captured in the wild. Some were injured, and some were abandoned by their tribes.

The zoo will have special people rushing to rescue them. Some of them will be released on the spot after being rescued. Those who are more seriously injured or cannot live outside the tribe will be brought back to the zoo and will be released after they recover. If they cannot be released, they will be kept in cages in the zoo.

For example, the chimpanzee we just saw, its introduction said that it was once the leader of the tribe, but later it was taken over by young chimpanzees when it was old. It was seriously injured during the battle and was later rescued by the zoo, so it has been kept in the zoo."

"Oh..."

Lucia rarely listened to the story of an animal so seriously.

After listening to Xia Li's words, she suddenly felt that those animals were not pitiful.

After all, they were provided with good food and drink, which was much more comfortable than in the wild.

Thinking about it this way, the relationship between Xia Li and herself is actually like that between a chimpanzee and a zoo keeper.

She got lost, so Xia Li picked her up and brought her home, but Xia Li didn't put her in a cage.

Thinking of this, Lucia secretly glanced at her breeder Xia Li.

The humans in this world are different from those on the Aize continent.

They are very friendly, and Xia Li is also very friendly.

Lucia likes the humans here very much.
