“Your familiar is a floral attribute monster. The way to improve its quality is different from other animal familiars,” Gao Peng said to himself while explaining to Zhou Tieshan.
“Yes,” said Zhou Tieshan. “I leave everything to your command.”
“I’ve collected the materials for you. Come with me. Where’s your familiar?”
Zhou Tieshan’s face brightened when he called out for his familiar, a White Skeleton Demon Fir.
The White Skeleton Demon Fir was at the Perfect grade. In Gao Peng’s eyes, it was at Level 83, which was considered a newbie Saint-level.
“I have holy evolution, nightmare evolution, and dark evolution here. What kind of evolution do you want?” Gao Peng, with his hands behind him, asked softly while standing at a high spot.
Zhou Tieshan was stunned. Were there so many ways to improve quality? But every form of evolution sounded pretty good… Zhou Tieshan was uncertain. “King, which evolution is the most powerful?”
Gao Peng closed his eyelids slightly and shook his head. “There’s no most powerful familiar, only most suitable. Each form of evolution is the same, and they have almost the same strength, so it depends on which one you like.”
“I… I don’t quite understand,” Zhou Tieshan stammered.
“Ah,” Gao Peng sighed. “It simply means that you can choose your favorite evolutionary route.”
“A stronger one…” Zhou Tieshan said weakly.
Gao Peng was silent. If I knew which evolution route was the most powerful, I would certainly tell you.
Since only the materials for a holy evolution had been collected, in this case…”Holy evolution suits you best,” Gao Peng said slowly with his eyes narrowed.
“Okay!” Zhou Tieshan’s face turned red with excitement. “Thank you, king.”
The White Skeleton Demon Fir wasn’t tall, only about 12 feet, an embarrassment amongst fir trees. Even so, this White Skeleton Demon Fir held its head and chest high, as proud as a little general.
“So baldness is an issue among trees, too,” Goldie said with emotion.
The White Skeleton Demon Fir’s entire body was leafless, with only a bare white trunk and branches. There were many small holes in the trunk, which gray fog came in and out of. Naturally, Gao Peng was familiar with the fog, since Dumby was quite involved with it.
They were similar to Yin and Soul energy. In places where there was a large amount of fog, it was easy to breed evil Yin energy.
Gao Peng placed the white blood jade around the White Skeleton Demon Fir and formed it into the strange shape of ancient characters. This wasn’t a character that Gao Peng recognized. When the blood jade was placed according to the pattern, it emitted a strange wave.
Gao Peng then sprinkled the ground black powder on the White Skeleton Demon Fir. Once the powder was sprinkled on the White Skeleton Demon Fir, it quickly dissipated. The body of the tree exuded a mellow smell.
Goldie took a sniff. It didn’t like the smell of it.
“Woof, woof, woof!” Sahara smelled it from afar. It was so excited that it dashed over like a husky just before Goldie’s right hand reached out to grab the back of the dog’s neck.
“If you disturb the master’s ceremony, you’ll be made into dog stew.”
“Woof.” Sahara’s intelligence quotient wasn’t that low. It knew that Gao Peng was its master’s master, able to be used as a blackmail card. He was more terrifying than the bald owner, the noblest in the familiar world and the least antagonizable being.
‘You know what dog stew is?” Goldie laughed. Thinking of dog stew, it felt slightly hungry.
Drip, drip… Urine leaked onto the back of Goldie’s foot; Sahara was terrified and had peed. Goldie’s face darkened as it walked away with Sahara.
Gao Peng continued to smear all kinds of spices… materials on the body of the White Skeleton Demon Fir, which became more and more fragrant. All the dog monsters in the tribe were barking wildly and rushing out from every corner of the village.
“Woof, woof, woof!”
“Howl!”
“Woof!”
Zhou Tieshan saw this scene for the first time and wiped the sweat on his forehead. The White Skeleton Demon Fir became more flustered, its branches trembling.
“Don’t be nervous. What are you afraid of?” Gao Peng patted the trunk of the White Skeleton Demon Fir.
“I’m not afraid. It’s just windy,” stuttered the White Skeleton Demon Fir.
“Dumby, don’t let those dogs create any trouble.” Gao Peng continued to apply oil without looking back.
“Yes,” Dumby replied. Rotating 180 degrees, it lifted the corners of its outfit, raised its right hand, and spread open its palms. Closing up, the earth trembled. A thick bone stabbed out of the ground and formed a wall that protected the people in the center.
Each bone spur was over two miles tall, and at a glance, looked as though it was almost poking the clouds. The dog monsters hit the bone wall with a bang and saw stars.
“There’s one last step.” Twelve different kinds of powders and liquids had been applied on the White Skeleton Demon Fir’s surface. Now, the surface of the White Skeleton Demon Fir was as smooth and shiny as if it had been waxed.
Zhou Tieshan opened his eyes wide.
Goldie lifted its neck.
Flamy’s head was facing Goldie, but it seamlessly shifted its eyes.
Dumby took a cigarette out of its pocket, put it into its mouth, and snapped its fingers to light the cigarette. It took a deep breath and slowly exhaled it.
Sahara’s ears were up, its mouth watering.
Gao Peng took a cube-like object out of his inner pocket.
The flame in Dumby’s eyes solidified for just a moment.
“What a strange treasure this is. But somehow, I feel like I’ve seen it somewhere.” Zhou Tieshan frowned.
Crack. Flames came out of the fire hole. The flame ignited the grease on the surface of the White Skeleton Demon Fir, like a torch that instantly grew bigger and bigger!
Boom! The White Skeleton Demon Fir turned into a blazing torch. Gao Peng still held his Southern Sky brand lighter.
The flame rising from the body of the White Skeleton Demon Fir was very strange and divided into seven different colors, with different colors on the top and bottom.
“Wonderful,” Gao Peng praised.
It wasn’t the coolest evolution he’d ever seen, but it was definitely one of the most interesting. The fire grew higher and higher, and the White Skeleton Demon Fir gave a happy cry.
At first, Zhou Tieshan was worried, but through the Blood Contract, he felt a steady stream of pleasant emotions from the White Skeleton Demon Fir. This reassured him.
The flame cracked the bark, more like a smooth and white shell, on the surface of the Demon Fir.
Pop, pop, pop, pop, pop, pop— The surface of the White Skeleton Demon Fir made non-stop burning and crackling sounds. The sound was getting faster, like firecrackers were being set off. It was accompanied by a moan of relief and comfort, then the bark on the surface of the White Skeleton Demon Fir suddenly burst!
In its place was a ten-foot-tall monster with a tree-like shape formed by white light. A pure and holy aura could be felt from this monster.
A row of data was refreshed within Gao Peng’s eyes.
