The young man who had previously criticized and belittled this butterfly couldn’t hide his embarrassment and he wished that the ground could open up and swallow him whole.
His companions also tried to maintain their composure but it was getting difficult by the second while the young man with glasses shook his head helplessly.
The crowd continued to admire and search for other butterflies through the information available on the internet, but to their surprise, they discovered several other beautiful butterfly species that were unheard of and unseen before.
Even the person who identified the Seychelles swallowtail/Seychelles crow (Euploea Mitra) couldn’t recognize them. It seemed that there were several newly discovered species here as well.
This new information excited everyone and they felt that the space inside the glass enclosure in front of them was like a utopia that didn’t belong to this world.
“Sister Cen, Zhongyun Zoo is making waves.” A petite and charming woman hurriedly walked into an office and spoke with an excited expression on her face.
“What happened? Did he really take his pets to the zoo?” The middle-aged woman sitting on the office chair spoke after hearing the petite girls’ words. She was Cen Yin, the Vice-President of the Pet Business Association.
She had crossed paths with Su Jing a few times in the past. The first time they met was at the Zhongyun Pet Expo, where she was the first to recognize the Morpho Helena. She was amazed and wanted to buy it, but Su Jing only sold her a specimen.
Later, she discovered that the specimens of that level of Morpho Helena were not unique, as Su Jing was selling them everywhere.
If it wasn’t for their exceptional beauty, she would have gone to hold Su Jing accountable for his action of deceiving her. Later on, Su Jing joined the Pet Association, and they met once or twice.
She had heard about the various big events caused by Su Jing, but they had nothing to do with her, so she didn’t pay much attention to them. However, when it came to pets, she couldn’t help but pay attention.
She didn’t like the idea of pets being taken to the zoo. In her opinion, pets and zoo animals were different, especially dogs. They were loyal to their owners and needed their companionship and care.
“It’s not just that. It’s even more exaggerated. They have White Peacock, Yangtze Giant Softshell Turtle, White-footed rabbit-rat, Big Eared Hopping Mouse (Notomys Macrotis), Seychelles Giant Tortoise, Teinopalpus Aureus (Golden Kaiser-i-Hind), Kashenov Ghost Beauty Phoenix Swallowtail Butterfly, Seychelles swallowtail/Seychelles crow (Euploea Mitra) and this is just the start,” The petite and charming woman spoke as excitement seemed to overflow from her very being.
“What?” Cen Yin’s eyes widened immediately when she heard the name of the species present in the Zoo. She had a special fondness for butterflies and overlooked the previous animals.
She spoke with an excited yet doubtful expression on her face, “Teinopalpus Aureus (Golden Kaiser-i-Hind) is one thing, but how could he have Kashenov Ghost Beauty Phoenix Swallowtail Butterfly and Seychelles swallowtail/Seychelles crow (Euploea Mitra)? These two butterflies were supposed to exist only in legends and were likely already extinct.”
“I don’t know what’s going on either.”
“Let’s go, let’s immediately go to Zhongyun Zoo,” Cen Yin said excitedly.
However, she soon awkwardly discovered that tickets to the Zoo were sold out. She couldn’t wait, so she found a scalper and bought a ticket at several times the original price, hastily rushing to Zhongyun Zoo.
In addition to Cen Yin, there were many butterfly enthusiasts who were thrilled upon hearing the news. This news quickly spread to the Seychelles Islands.
…
In the Zhongyun Zoo, Fan Weishen and Xue Zhonghong led the group that was with them to the next location.
The first batch of people, for the most part, had managed to keep up with them, even though some of them choose to remain behind to watch the previous extinct or rare animals.
As for those who arrived later, they also wanted to be at the front to see, but they couldn’t even finish seeing all the butterflies. It was a dilemma for them and they couldn’t decide whether they should go or not, causing them great confusion.
Some hesitated and stayed behind to look at all the new animals on their own, while others caught up with Fan Weishen and Xue Zhonghong, thinking that they would first get firsthand information and then come back to see the butterflies.
Once again, the group walked along a winding road with lush forests on both sides. The entire zoo had a remarkably good green environment.
It took them seven to eight minutes to reach the following location, where they could already see a very large garden from a distance.
This time, the people didn’t need to search for anything as with a single glance, they could see over a dozen animals inside. They appeared to be a kind of bird, varying in height and size. Most of them were around one meter tall, weighing an estimated twenty to thirty kilograms.
They had bluish-gray feathers all over their bodies, a beak of about 23 centimeters, slightly curved with a black tip and a red dot. Their wings were short, making it evident that they couldn’t fly. They had thick, yellow legs and a tuft of curled feathers on their hindquarters.
What puzzled most people was that these animals looked somewhat familiar, but upon closer consideration, they couldn’t remember.
“What kind of bird is this? Some kind of ostrich?”
“That’s clearly not it, I’ve never seen it before.”
A few recognized them, such as Shen Hong and Shen Jiayao, but others in the zoo industry were dumbfounded, seemingly petrified. They were even more shocked than when they had seen extinct species like the Big-Eared Hopping Mouse (Notomys Macrotis).
“What the hell,” Shen Hong rubbed his eyes and looked again as he silently muttered a curse in his mind, but what he saw remained the same, and his expression still conveyed astonishment and disbelief.
