After dinner.
Chen Lun came to the study.
He poured himself a glass of milk and was about to drink it when his spiritual intuition fluctuated again, sending a faint warning of danger, but it was not strong.
"Um?"
Chen Lun placed the cup in front of his eyes and looked carefully at the milk inside, but found nothing special. Even the panel could not detect anything unusual.
"It's the same problem as beef... It seems to be hidden deep."
Chen Lun narrowed his eyes, and then threw all the milk into the spirit world to be destroyed.
He slowly sat down on the single sofa and began to think.
'I have no clue about the third opportunity for now. I originally planned to go to the suburbs to look for it myself, but now this matter is quite strange... Let's go to the slaughterhouse to investigate tomorrow.'
After Chen Lun made up his mind.
He began to examine the new abilities he had acquired during this period.
Of the ten memory cells of the animal imitation, nine of them now contain extraordinary biological characteristics—
Crawling Body, Spirit Breath, Split Resurrection, Hell Resistance, Cursed Skin, Heart of the Crazy Pot, Blood of Decay, Ultimate Beauty and Didak's Armor.
The one remaining common biological trait is his steel bones, which allow him to grow a jet-black exoskeleton for attack and defense, but it seems that it can no longer keep up with his strength.
'When you come across a suitable supernatural creature, replace it, and you will have ten in total...'
Chen Lun thought.
He slowly raised his right hand and tried various variations.
I saw its entire right arm twisted like a snake, and then fine pale scales grew on the surface, like a ferocious white snake.
The next second, the entire body of the white snake began to split from the middle, turning into two, four, eight... Finally, dozens of white snakes as thin as fingers grew out from Chen Lun's elbow, twisting and winding in the air.
Chen Lun grinned and uttered a word:
"Crawling..."
With a few terrifying crisp clucking sounds, the dozens of white snakes that his forearms transformed into suddenly swelled up and became pythons with thick legs. They crawled onto the floor, spreading and twisting in all directions, as if covering the entire study with a thick layer of pale carpet.
If an ordinary person saw such a horrifying scene, he would probably lose his mind, faint on the spot, or go crazy.
'If we use this combination of changes, it seems that we can use it as a high-level technique for close-range fighting... The snakes are intertwined and intertwined, and their plasticity and dexterity become extremely strong. They can be transformed into many forms such as hammers, cones, whips, clamps and nets, which can be used in various battles, whether it is offense and defense, or to restrain and interfere with the enemy.'
The more Chen Lun thought about it, the brighter his eyes became.
'Now that I have the full-level Fredetree Meditation Technique, my body control ability has been improved, and I can fully support such operations... Unfortunately, the number of snakes affects the effect, and dozens of white snakes are already my limit.'
He sighed secretly, took back all the snakes, and his arm returned to its original state.
"Let's call this technique 'Pale Hands'."
Then, Chen Lun studied and developed derivative uses of the new technique... For example, he could grab the enemy with his pale hands, and then use the magic of "body separation" to separate the snakes from himself.
The split snake group can bind the enemy continuously, or be used as a corruption bomb to bombard the enemy face to face.
Chen Lun tried to separate a finger, and then the finger gradually became a human form, looking exactly like him, but with a dull face and very small size.
Like a small figurine.
This is the characteristic effect of split recovery.
"Um… "
Chen Lun pondered and tried to command this "little Chen Lun" to walk, jump and run on the table.
This was a small mobile corruption bomb, but it was still far from the "fraudulent clone" he had expected.
'Even if I use the characteristics of the crawling body to enlarge it, it can only grow to 20 centimeters in height... Unless I separate half of my body, it will not be possible to achieve a one-to-one ratio.'
He controlled "Little Chen Lun" to run towards him, jumped up from the edge of the coffee table, flew back to where his finger was broken, and recovered as before.
Chen Lun continued to explore his own abilities.
After a moment.
He made a new discovery.
I saw two cracks on the left and right sides of the shadow of the jawline on his cheek, which were slightly opening and closing and moving as if he was breathing... This was the effect of his special spiritual breath, which allowed him to breathe the air of the spiritual world.
Chen Lun opened his mouth and spit out a ball of deep blue flame, burning the space in front of him into a distorted state. Immediately, he tried to teleport and successfully appeared at the other end of the vortex, which was the corner of the study.
Turning around and looking at the space vortex, Chen Lun was shocked.
'I am not affected at all!'
He recalled the process just now. When he teleported, the crack on his jawline suddenly opened up and he took a big breath of air from the spiritual world... It seemed that some kind of compensation was achieved.
'This is the most powerful innate ability of the ancient supernatural creature Lenagana. It can interfere with space, block supernatural beings from entering and leaving the spirit world, and prohibit the use of abilities such as teleportation and cloud leaping... As a caster, I can treat this chaotic space as my home ground and act at will!'
Chen Lun was very happy about this.
After about ten minutes, because there was no subsequent interference from the breath of fire, the space slowly returned to normal.
He sat back down on the sofa.
'The characteristics of extraordinary creatures have been updated. The previous normal state and extreme state are no longer applicable... Usually, I walk in the world as Mr. Jack. Magic, cards and swordsmanship are enough to handle most things. If necessary, I can directly perform the ten-in-one transformation.'
Chen Lun took a deep breath.
"This new form is called 'Pale Stance'!"
He touched the rusty wire necklace hanging around his neck.
"And the Balagar Armor..."
Next second.
The rusty wire spread from the necklace and gradually covered his body.
At the same time, he chose to unfold a "pale posture" -
In the blink of an eye, Chen Lun became the Spade Knight... No, he should change his name now.
"The Pale Knight."
He dragged his long scarlet cloak and walked to the full-length mirror on the side of the study, and saw what he looked like at the moment.
A retro knight's helmet, with black cross holes, a three-layer folded chest plate covered with scaly patterns, shoulder armor with snakes entwined around it, and various joints are all covered with snake decorations. The overall design is extremely exquisite.
The biggest difference is.
The armor that was originally pitch black and covered with rust spots turned into an old white armor.

The next morning.
Chen Lun asked Golov to drive the carriage and took him to the Montero slaughterhouse northwest of Peacock City.
Also accompanying them were Patton and Morey.
Because the Montero Slaughterhouse was originally a toy factory owned by the Harrington family, it has a three or four meter high wall on the outside. However, due to long-term lack of maintenance, the paint on the entire wall is now mottled and peeling, revealing the red brick and cement structure inside.
I don’t know whose naughty kids have scribbled on these already ugly walls, making them look dirty and messy.
Chen Lun got off the carriage and told Golov to wait for him at the door.
Immediately, he brought Patton and Morey to the iron gate and tapped the door lock twice with his fingers.
Bang bang!
"Who? What's going on so early in the morning?!"
A sleepy middle-aged man walked out of the sentry post on the side of the door. He was wearing a black security uniform, but it looked loose.
He came to the door, cigarette in hand and cursing.
When he saw an extremely handsome, well-dressed young gentleman standing outside the iron gate, his expression immediately became restrained and awed.
In particular, there were two tall men in suits beside this man, staring at him with cold expressions, like fierce people who would pull out guns and shoot him at any time.
"Aha! Gentlemen, I'm sorry, I was just talking in my sleep!"
The middle-aged man immediately threw away the cigarette butt in his mouth and said nervously.
Chen Lun smiled politely, put the silver cane on his right arm, and said nothing.
Morey, who was standing beside him, stepped forward and handed him a business card.
"This is Mr. Jack, the owner of the winery in the city center. We are here to discuss a big business deal with the owner of the Montero slaughterhouse..."
"Ah, big business... OK, OK!"
The security guard took the business card, but he actually couldn't read at all, so he had to nod pretentiously and then opened the iron gate.
"The boss usually rests in the upper office of the workshop. I'll take you gentlemen there!"
The security guard looked fawning and nodded.
"No need, just do your job well... Also, if I see you disrespecting Mr. Jack next time, I'll shoot you in the head!"
Patton grinned, revealing a ferocious look.
The security guard was so frightened that he almost fell to the ground and wet his pants.
Chen Lun shook his head secretly. Although Patton had followed him for a long time, he was a killer after all. He also managed the Iron Fist Gang for a period of time, so he was very aggressive.
He flicked his finger and a silver goblet popped out, which fell accurately into the security guard's arms.
"Just let them know by radio first, and we'll be able to go there on our own."
Chen Lun smiled and spoke.
The security guard touched the silver coin in his hand, looked up and saw the young gentleman's smile, and his fear suddenly dissipated a lot. He swallowed his saliva, and then said gratefully:
"Thank you, Mr. Kangkai. I will inform Mr. Montero right away!"
Watching the security guard run back to the sentry post, Chen Lun made a gesture and the three of them entered the slaughterhouse.
As we went deeper, the air began to be filled with the smell of blood and a strong stench of feces.
In fact, Chen Lun did not go directly to the workshop in the main building. Instead, he secretly summoned the rats, birds and small creatures living in the slaughterhouse and directed them to explore around.
After a moment.
These little animals returned with intelligence and information.
After listening to this, Chen Lun narrowed his eyes.
"The pork, sheep and chicken areas are normal... Only a new batch of live cattle has arrived in the beef area. Is there really something wrong here? Or is there something secret hidden in the slaughterhouse itself?"
At this time, a group of people walked towards him quickly. The fat man in the lead seemed very happy and shouted from a distance:
"Sir, is it you who wants to discuss business with me? Haha... I knew today was a lucky day!"
As soon as the other party approached, Chen Lun used the Siren Song with an expressionless face.
The slaughterhouse owner Montero and his men were immediately controlled by hypnosis.
"Are you involved in some mysterious plot, tampering with beef and milk?"
