Chapter 396 Anton’s Resistance
When Antonio slowly came to him, Chen Lun handed over the blood diamond in his hand.
"What is this? Mr. Jack."
Anton stared curiously at the finger-sized red crystal in his palm and asked aloud.
"It is similar to the 'sin blood' I drank for you before. It is also a concentrated life substance, but it is more advanced..."
Chen Lun explained softly.
"Oh! I remembered! The last time the 'bad guy' caused trouble, it was you who drank that blood for me, which allowed me to temporarily gain powerful power and overwhelm it... The effect of this stone Could it be better? This is great!"
Anton's ears twitched and he said happily.
"So Mr. Jack, how should I use it?"
"Well..."
Chen Lun pondered for a moment.
In fact, it was also his first time coming into contact with blood diamonds and he didn't know how to use them correctly.
But based on his own mystical attainments and the description of it on the panel, Chen Lun was not worried about the harm it would cause to Anton, so he said directly:
"Anton, follow your intuition and feel the life force it contains..."
Since [A-level serial mission: The Third Ring of Sword Fighters] clearly states that blood diamonds can help Antonio overcome his obsession with the legacy of "The Profaned Lord" and allow him to completely master the [Super-A Grade Artifact - Profaned Holy Sword], then It shouldn't be too difficult to use.
Antonio nodded in understanding, then stuck out his tongue, rolled the blood diamond into his mouth, and chewed it.
Chen Lun couldn't help being slightly startled.
"Mr. Jack, the stone tastes strange, but it's not too bad..."
Antonio said vaguely.
Soon, its body underwent strange changes.
Antonio suddenly roared, and all the officials looked at it with concern.
"Ah...Antonio's belly is so hot!"
It seemed to be suppressing pain, shaking its body violently.
When Chen Lun saw this, he immediately stood up and supported the cow's body, then turned his head and said to the crowd:
"Everyone comes to the back garden to help."
Immediately, he used teleportation and moved Antonio to the lawn of the garden.
Boom!
The cow's body crashed to the ground and rolled over.
Its body temperature is gradually rising, and steam is even filling the air, making it look misty in this cold weather.
"Anton's head hurts so much! His feet hurt so much! And his back! His tail!"
The cow struggled and growled.
Chen Lun tried his best to control the situation on the side, but he had no better way to deal with it. Anton could only handle this matter by himself... and he also knew that with Anton's 80+ willpower, it would be unbearable for him to endure this. Such pain, you can imagine what kind of torture it is!
Soon, Antonio's skin began to peel off, revealing scarlet muscles. Blood oozed from his body. His head, back, four hooves and tail were all squirming, as if something was growing.
The circus officials rushed to the scene and their expressions changed when they saw this shocking scene.
"Mr. Jack, will Antonio be okay?"
Noah asked worriedly.
Chen Lun was secretly solemn, but on the surface he smiled and said with relief:
"Don't worry, Anton is just fighting against the monsters in his body. His willpower is very tenacious. Even I am ashamed of myself... With the help of blood diamonds, it will succeed. We have to believe in it!"
After hearing this, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
But everyone looked at the blood splattered on the lawn and Antonio, who was struggling and looking in great pain, and didn't know what to do for a moment.
Chen Lun then turned to the girl with messy hair and said:
"Maggie, is there any painkiller?"
"Some leaders."
Maggie took out a finger-thick light yellow potion from the small bag on her waist and handed it over.
Chen Lun then ordered Noah:
"Use [Bone Gallery] and the characteristic power of [Star Faction Sequence 7-Heart Thief] to hypnotize Anton and relieve his pain."
"Yes! Mr. Jack!"
Without hesitation, Noah directly grasped the bone key hanging on his chest.
The next second, the ghost image of the gallery appeared in the back of his mind, and an oil painting with three-color pupils was frozen.
Chen Lun also strode forward and used his 177 points of strength to forcefully hold down Antonio's body, poured the medicine into his mouth, then gently stroked his forehead and said in a deep voice:
"Hold on, Anton, the bad guy wants to control your body and take away your freedom... You can't succumb to it, you are yourself, the carefree Antonio who yearns for it. As long as we are here, you will be fine. Yes, you just need to defeat it and take control of your own body and freedom!”
When saying these words, Chen Lun couldn't help but think of his own fate.
It's not the same as Antonio at this moment.
Antonio could no longer respond to Chen Lun at this moment and just kept howling.
After a while, its movement diminished.
Countless bones also grow in the cow's body, tightly wrapping it inside, like a silkworm cocoon. Chen Lun stood aside, looking at the "Cocoon of Bones" lying quietly on a messy lawn, but he was secretly relieved.
Because he has received the task completion panel prompt.
This means Antonio succeeded!
[Completed the A-level serial mission: The Third Ring of Sword Fighters! 】
[Get mission reward: 20W experience points, 400 gold pounds and Antonio’s favorability! 】
[Antonio’s favorability towards you increases! Currently worshiping! 】
Chen Lun turned around and said to the worried cadres:
"Don't worry, Antonio has succeeded... It is undergoing transformation, but it may take some time. Later I will place it in an empty room on the third floor, so that the split white snake can interact with it 24 hours a day. Its care.”
"Yes, Mr. Jack."
Noah nodded and said expectantly.
"I believe Anton will be fine."
Chen Lun walked up to him with a smile and patted Noah on the shoulder.
"You and Maggie were successfully promoted to Sequence Six at the end of this battle. I haven't had time to celebrate for you... After Anton wakes up, we will have a good dinner."
Noah scratched his head in embarrassment, while Maggie on the side wiped her saliva.
"Hey! Leader, I want to eat the steak and cold beef made by Miss Floy!"
"Of course no problem."
Chen Lun and Floy looked at each other and smiled, and then said to Maggie.
He looked at his companions present again, feeling very pleased. At the same time, he also secretly lamented that the training of the two months in the Bloody Battle had indeed made the team members make considerable progress.
Floy, Golov and Noah Magi have been promoted successively. Now Anton has also successfully defeated the [Desecrated Holy Sword] and is waiting to wake up...
Everything is going in the right direction.
‘There shouldn’t be much time until the version is updated. Once things are completely over, let’s take them to the royal city... By then I should also be preparing for a high-level promotion. ’
Chen Lun thought to himself.
It seemed that because of what happened to Anton just now, he was deeply moved and his mood became a little solemn.
‘Howard, we will meet soon...I will settle all the old and new grudges with you one by one! ’

Peacock City Yinlong Chamber of Commerce Branch.
At this moment, the hall and even the backyard were crowded with people.
They are all players who came here after hearing the news.
"Haha, I thought that after the main mission was over, there would be no chance... I didn't expect that Jack can still enjoy the benefits here. Isn't that great!"
A male player said with excitement.
"The bird eats the bird's food! Not only does it have the basic version of the 'Kang Er' flintlock rifle, but it also launches three new painted skins, 'Bloody Dusk', 'Winter Killing Intent' and 'Great Victory'. Zhuo! It's a limited edition! You won’t be able to buy it anymore!”
"All three skins are beautiful! But I like the 'Bloody Dusk' the best! The all-red appearance, the gun stock also has a pair of bat wing patterns, especially the details of the trigger, which is a pair of fangs, really spot on!"
"I think the 'Great Victory' is the most handsome, okay? Every man longs to own a golden rifle, not to mention that this limited edition is also inlaid with 'Zhamite'! Didn't you listen to the introduction from the staff of the Chamber of Commerce? Then The thing can be used as a melee weapon, activating magic to push away nearby enemies. It’s so cool!”
"Children only make choices...I want them all!"
"Hehehehe... It's all my fault for rich people like you. Just buy it and take screenshots to the forum Versailles. Now players in other cities and towns are crying!"
The players lined up and had a heated discussion.
In the open space in the backyard of the Chamber of Commerce, seven or eight employees are selling circus products to players, ranging from firearms to mechanical gloves, from various ammunition and bombs to potions, etc.
There were many security guards standing behind the employees, and even the Silver Dragon Guards of the Chamber of Commerce were dispatched. They guarded boxes of equipment and merchandise, and stared at the immortal strangers with vigilance.
Two thefts and one robbery occurred this morning. Although the immortal stranger involved has been arrested and imprisoned in the "immortal prison" of the shelter, the Chamber of Commerce has still increased its vigilance on this matter.
They must do their best to do what Master Jack arranges!
Top players such as Dongyang Chenxi and Polaris squeezed out from the crowd, each holding a limited-edition paint job.
"Holy crap! There are too many people here?!"
The dog-headed golden man said with an exaggerated expression.
He raised the golden rifle in his hand and touched it fondly.
"But after queuing for more than an hour, it was worth it! This skin is also limited in Wonderland. The group of dogecoin gadgets didn't even say a word and just grabbed it all, which made us have to come here to buy it. ! ”
The group of people in Goutoujin's mouth are talking about other elite players in the circus.
When they learned the news, the lakeside hut was already crowded with people. When they looked again, they saw that these three skins were long gone on the redemption panel that popped up on the Jack statue.
At that time, Dongyang and others' lungs were about to burst with anger.
Fortunately, the Silver Dragon Chamber of Commerce has branches all over the country for sale. As long as you go there in time, you can still grab a handful.
"Brothers, have you also received the notification that the version is about to be updated?"
Dongyang carried three flintlock rifles behind his back, glanced at the players around him without showing off, and then asked Polaris and others.
"Well, the main mission has ended, and the next step is the arrival of version 2.0."
Polaris nodded and said.
Dongyang chuckled and pointed to the bar they had been to together before.
"How about we go have another drink and talk about our next plans?"
"Okay."
The others had no objections and nodded in agreement.
Dongyang took the lead, and a group of more than a dozen people walked towards the bar on the side of the street.
The bartender at the front desk looked at the group of undead strangers, each carrying more than one flintlock gun on his back, and was so frightened that he almost dropped the wine glass in his hand.
"Dear... guests, what do you need?"
the bartender asked shakily. (End of chapter)
