At that moment, it wasn't just the hall door that was closed, Candlestick Spirit felt that the door to his heart was also closed.
It turned its head, glanced at Dean, and then at Lucy, who had disappeared. The three burning purple flames shrank into sparks at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Maybe it was the intuition of being a three-in-one demon pet, but it always felt that Zhu's back was chilly.
There was an ominous premonition.
And soon, the Candlestick Spirit’s premonition came true.
A strand of green hair silently came out and wrapped around the golden base. The newly evolved Candlestick Spirit was severely beaten before it had time to expand for the surge of energy in its body after evolution.
The long hair like iron ropes was wrapped around its body. The candlestick spirit didn't even have a chance to resist, before it was tied up by Xiao Lan and forcibly taken to Dean's study.
When he walked out of the door, he was counting on the two little masters to lend a helping hand to him. Unexpectedly, the two people had just summed up the evolution method. It was when their emotions were high, and they excitedly walked away without waiting for Dean to come out. He ran to find other little candlelings.
The candlestick, which had lost its last hope, burst into tears. In just a few steps, the candle was shortened by one-third.
Although it quickly grew back, this magical phenomenon still aroused Dean's curiosity.
He found the box, asked the old man to release the barrier, locked the candlestick spirit inside, and then ordered it to use skills in the barrier without worrying about being ignited. The candlestick spirit did not dare to refuse, and could only use the skills with tears in its eyes. There are only three skills.
Dean immediately discovered that his guess was correct.
Every time the Candlestick Spirit uses a skill, the white candle supporting the flame will become shorter. And unlike when it was short, the candles consumed by using the skill will recover very slowly.
This greatly restricts the Candlestick Spirit's use of its own skills.
Dean estimated that if this restriction was not included, Candlestick Spirit's rating should be able to reach C level.
After the second evolution, it will be B level. You can have racial skill trees and step into a new level.
Pity.
Looking at the three unused candles, Dean thought greedily.
If only the candles could be replaced.
He can breed a candle demon pet that contains a lot of energy to replace the white candle.
With the power of the three skills of Candlestick Spirit, as long as there is sufficient energy, it is definitely not difficult to fight against a B-level familiar.
However, after Dean touched it, he realized that his imagination was too beautiful. This candle grew together with the base, which was equivalent to the pillar of life of the candlestick spirit. If he really wanted to pull it out, the three flames on it would lose their support, and they would fall in the first place. When time goes out, the candlestick spirit will most likely pass directly.
The candles are all gone, and any replacement candle will be of no use.
So the idea of replacing candles was stillborn not long after it was born.
But Dean soon took a new direction.
Since we can't cut the slack, we should take other roundabout ways to save the country.
For example, selecting a certain parasitic type of familiar, and combining it with the candlestick spirit to increase the length of the candle, or increase the recovery frequency of the candle. Both approaches lead to the same goal. No matter which direction you start from, you can achieve the purpose of changing the number of times the skill is used.
This can be regarded as nurturing demon pets through selective breeding.
I wonder if the rating of Candlestick Ling will change after this defect is made up?
Dean looked at the still trembling candlestick spirit and fell into deep thought.
"twitter!"
Before he could come up with a feasible plan, the old man gave up.
"twitter!"
After two consecutive sounds, Xia hugged his shoulders and pushed his knitted eyebrows into Dean's face.
It has recently been busy practicing building a large barrier to restrict all the difficult monsters in the backyard. It is so busy that it is physically and mentally exhausted and has no time to play games with the pervert.
Dean's operation has exhausted its patience.
If you don't leave, the old man will kick you out!
"twitter!"
Maybe it was because its voice was too deep and its screams were too weird. The train of thought in Dean's head was inexplicably changed to "Zhang Fei with a black face barking...".
...it's quite vivid.
Xiaolan laughed so much that she rolled out of his hair, rolled 360 degrees, and then rolled back.
Being interrupted in this way, Dean could no longer think any further. He twitched the corner of his mouth and returned to the study with the candlestick spirit under the urging of the box.
The gathering and evolution of Little Candle Spirits gave him a lot of inspiration.
Before this, Dean had never taken the subject of "evolution" to heart.
After all, the subjects of his research are usually high-level magic pets. It is much more difficult to discover evolutionary methods on these magic pets than on low-level magic pets.
Until today, after truly witnessing "evolution", Dean's mind changed.
He suddenly realized that this was a shortcut.
If it is not possible to directly breed an S-level magic pet, then the next best thing is to breed an A-level magic pet, and then use selective breeding to upgrade it to S-level. Will this be able to circumvent the difficulty of breeding an S-level magic pet? The problem?
Moreover, the two methods require different breeding beasts. The rare beasts required to breed A-level magic pets are far inferior to S-level magic pets.
Since there are means that can achieve the goal at a lower cost, why do we have to hang ourselves from a tree?
But to achieve this goal, gathering evolution is definitely not enough.
This is also the conclusion Dean came to after analyzing the nature of evolutionary rituals.
To put it simply, this method of evolution is to gather familiar familiars, stimulate the fusion of their powers through contact, and then connect individual lives to form a whole.
The whole process does not require the participation of other familiars and external forces, and it is a relatively easy way to achieve evolution.
However, this method of evolution has strong limitations.
That is, it only applies to magic pets of the elemental or metal types that have the conditions to form a gathering connection. It is difficult to happen to other types of magic pets, especially pure flesh and blood type magic pets.
That's why Dean wanted to explore other ways of evolution.
For example, as he just proposed, replace the candles on the candlestick spirit with better-quality individuals to achieve symbiotic evolution.
That is to say, start from the weaknesses that have been exposed and make up for the flaws to achieve a leap in life levels.
Of course, this evolutionary chain can continue to extend further.
First make up for the shortcomings, then carry out targeted strengthening, and even go a step further to add other abilities to the familiar.
From a rational perspective, Dean feels that this should be considered a relatively reliable speculation on the direction of evolution.
The standard rule is to consider the familiar first and evolution later. The main difficulty lies in the evolution step.
In contrast to this method, evolution is considered first and the familiar is considered later.
That is to say, everything starts from evolution and purposefully selects and breeds magic pets with the possibility of natural evolution.
Push all the problems to breeding, and solve all problems in the initial stage!
