After Antonio slowly came over, Chen Lun handed the blood diamond in his hand to him.
"What is this, Mr. Jack?"
Anton stared curiously at the finger-sized red crystal in his palm and asked.
"It is similar to the 'sin blood' I gave you to drink before. It is also a concentrated substance of life, but it is more advanced..."
Chen Lun explained softly.
"Oh! I remember now! The last time the 'bad guy' was causing trouble, it was you who gave me that blood to drink, which gave me temporary powerful strength to overwhelm him... Will this stone be more effective? This is awesome!"
Anton said happily, his ears twitching.
"So Mr. Jack, how do I use it?"
"Um… "
Chen Lun pondered for a moment.
In fact, it was his first time to come 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 that it would cause any harm to Anton, so he said directly:
"Anton, follow your intuition and feel the life force it contains..."
Since the A-level serial mission: The third ring of the sword fighter clearly stated that the blood diamond could help Antonio overcome the obsession of the "blasphemous prince" relic and allow it to completely master the super A-level weird thing - the blasphemous holy sword, then the method of using it should not be too difficult.
Antonio nodded as if he understood, then he stuck out his tongue, rolled the blood diamond into his mouth, and began to chew it with a crunching sound.
Chen Lun couldn't help but be slightly stunned.
"Mr. Jack, the stone tastes strange, but it's not bad..."
Antonio said vaguely.
Soon, strange changes occurred in its body.
Antonio suddenly growled, and all the cadres looked at him with concern.
"Ah... Antonio's belly is so hot!"
It seemed to be suppressing the pain, its body shaking violently.
Upon seeing this, Chen Lun immediately stood up and supported the cow's body, then turned his head and said to everyone:
"Everyone come to the back garden to help."
Immediately, he used teleportation to move Antonio to the lawn in the garden.
winter!
The cow's body hit the ground with a loud bang and kept rolling.
Its body temperature was gradually rising, and it even emitted steam, which looked smoky in this cold weather.
"Anton's head hurts! His feet hurt too! And his back! And his tail!"
The cows roared as they struggled.
Chen Lun tried his best to control the situation. There was no better way to deal with it. Anton had to get through it by himself... and he also knew that even with Anton's willpower of over 80, he could hardly endure such pain. You can imagine what kind of torture that was!
Soon, Antonio's skin began to peel off, revealing scarlet muscles. Blood was oozing from his body. His head, back, four hooves and tail were all wriggling, as if something was growing.
The circus's managers later rushed to the scene, and their faces 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 comfortingly:
"Don't worry, Anton is just fighting against the evil in his body. His will is very strong, even I am inferior to him... With the help of the blood diamond, he will succeed. We have to believe in him!"
After hearing this, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
But everyone didn't know what to do when they saw the blood all over the lawn and Antonio struggling and looking extremely painful.
Chen Lun then turned to the girl with messy hair and said:
"Maggie, do you have any painkillers?"
"Yes, Captain."
Maggie took out a finger-thick pale yellow medicine from the small bag on her waist and handed it over.
Chen Lun then instructed Noah:
"Use the Bone Gallery and leverage the power of the Star Faction Sequence 7 - Heart Thief to hypnotize Anton and alleviate his pain."
"Yes! Mr. Jack!"
Noah didn't hesitate and grabbed the bone key hanging on his chest.
The next second, the shadow of a gallery appeared behind his mind, and an oil painting of a child with three-color eyes was frozen in time.
Chen Lun also strode forward, using his own 177 points of strength to forcibly hold down Antonio's body, poured the potion into his mouth, then gently stroked his forehead and said in a deep voice:
"Hold on, Anton. The bad guys want to control your body and take away your freedom... You can't give in to it. You are yourself, the Antonio who longs for a carefree life. With us here, you will be fine. 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 is the same with Antonio at this moment.
Antonio was no longer able to respond to Chen Lun at this moment and just kept howling.
After a moment, its movement slowed down.
Countless bones grew inside the cow, wrapping it tightly inside, like a cocoon. Chen Lun stood aside, looking at the "bone cocoon" quietly placed on the messy lawn, and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Because he had received the panel prompt indicating that the task was completed.
This means Antonio succeeded!
Completed the A-level chain task: The third ring of the swordsman!
Obtain mission rewards: 200,000 experience points, 400 gold pounds and Antonio's favorability!
Antonio's favorability towards you has increased! Currently it is worship!
Chen Lun turned around and said to the worried cadres:
"Don't worry, Antonio has succeeded... It is undergoing a transformation, but it may take some time. I will place it in an empty room on the third floor later and let the split white snake take care of it 24 hours a day."
"Yes, Mr. Jack."
Noah nodded and said expectantly.
"I'm sure Anton will be fine."
Chen Lun walked up to him with a smile and patted Noah on the shoulder.
"You and Maggie successfully advanced to Sequence 6 at the end of this battle, and I didn't have time to celebrate for you... After Anton wakes up, we'll host a proper dinner."
Noah scratched his head a little embarrassedly, while Maggie beside him wiped her saliva.
"Hey, Captain, I want to eat the steak and cold beef made by Miss Flo Yin!"
"Of course."
Chen Lun and Flo Yin smiled at each other, then said to Maggie.
He looked at his companions again, feeling very pleased. At the same time, he secretly sighed that the training of the bloody battle for one or two months had indeed led to considerable progress in the team members.
Froyin, Golov and Noah Maggie have been promoted one after another. Now Anton has also successfully defeated the Blasphemous Holy Sword and is waiting to wake up...
Everything is moving in the right direction.
"It shouldn't be long before the version update. Once this is completely over, I'll take them to the Royal City... By then, I'll be preparing for a promotion to a higher position."
Chen Lun thought.
It seemed that because of what happened to Anton just now, he was quite touched and his mood was a little heavy.
'Howard, we will meet soon... I will settle all the old and new grudges with you!'

Peacock City Silver Dragon 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 there would be no chance after the main mission was over... I didn't expect that I could still enjoy the benefits from Jack's side. How wonderful!"
A male player said with great excitement.
"Eat, eat, eat! Not only is there the basic model of the 'Kanji' flintlock rifle, but there are also three new skins with new paint jobs, 'Bloody Dusk', 'Winter Killing Intent' and 'Great Victory'. Huh! This is a limited edition! You won't be able to buy it anymore!"
“All three skins are pretty for Jill! But I like Blood Dusk the best! The all-red look, the buttstock has a pair of bat wing patterns, and the details on the trigger are a pair of fangs, really spot on!”
"I think the 'Great Victory' is the coolest, okay? Every man wants to own a golden rifle, not to mention that this limited edition is inlaid with 'Brilliant Stone'! Didn't you listen to the introduction of the Chamber of Commerce staff? That thing can be used for close combat, activating magic to push away nearby enemies. It's so cool!"
"Only children make choices... I want them all!"
"Hehehe... It's all because of rich people like you. You bought it, but you took screenshots and posted them on the forum. Now the players in other city areas are crying with envy!"
The players lined up and had heated discussions with each other.
In the open space in the backyard of the Chamber of Commerce, seven or eight employees were selling circus merchandise to players, ranging from guns to mechanical gloves, from various ammunition and bombs to potions and so on.
There were many security guards standing behind the employees, and even the Chamber of Commerce's Silver Dragon Guard was dispatched. They guarded boxes of equipment and goods, and stared at the undead strangers with vigilance.
Two thefts and one robbery occurred this morning. Although the immortal strangers involved have been arrested and detained in the "undead prison" of the shelter, the Chamber of Commerce has still increased its vigilance on this matter.
They must do their best to complete the tasks assigned by Lord Jack!
Advanced players like Dongyang Chenxi and Polaris squeezed out of the crowd, each holding a limited edition painted gun.
"Damn! Aren't there too many people?!"
Goutoujin said with an exaggerated look.
He raised the golden rifle in his hand and touched it lovingly.
"But after waiting in line for over an hour, it was worth it! This skin is also limited in Wonderland, and those Dogecoin guys snatched it all up without saying a word, forcing us to come here to buy it!"
The group of people in Dog-Head Gold's mouth refers to the other elite players in the circus.
When they learned the news, the lakeside cabin was already crowded with people. When they looked again, they saw that the three skins were no longer available on the redemption panel that popped up when Jack was shown.
At that time, Dongyang and others were so angry that their lungs were about to explode.
Fortunately, the Silver Dragon Chamber of Commerce sells it in its branches across the country, so as long as you go in time, you can still grab one.
"Brothers, have you also received the notification that the version is about to be updated?"
Dongyang carried three flintlock rifles on his back, glanced at the players around him without any intention of showing off, and then asked Polaris and others.
"Well, the main quest has been completed, 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?"
"OK."
Everyone else had no objection and nodded in agreement.
Dongyang took the lead, and a group of more than ten people walked towards the bar on the side of the street.
The bartender at the front desk looked at this group of undead strangers, each of whom was carrying more than one flintlock rifle on his back or in his pocket, and was so scared that he almost dropped the wine glass in his hand.
"Dear guests, what can I do for you?"
the bartender asked shakily.
