Douluo II: The nanny is killing people indiscriminately!

Chapter 2 Encountering a Tide of Beasts
The Dream Butterfly was flexible but not fast enough. Although it managed to evade Lian Chen and Duo Lan's combined efforts to capture it several times, it could not shake them off. Once its soul power was exhausted, it would still fall into their hands.

Duolan also planned to fight a war of attrition, but when he turned a corner, the Dream Butterfly disappeared.

She calmly analyzed: "The Dream Butterfly is good at camouflage and hiding. It must still be nearby. Let's split up and look for it."

Before they could make any move, the ground began to shake without warning.

"Is there an earthquake?" Lian Chen steadied himself and tried to remain calm, but his tone still revealed a hint of panic.

How come earthquakes also happen in the fantasy world?

Continuous vibrations were felt from the inner part of the forest, but the next second, the outer part also began to vibrate, accompanied by the growls and roars of soul beasts.

Duo Lan was horrified: "Oh no! It's a beast tide! We have to leave here quickly."

Without caring about the Dream Butterfly, Duo Lan grabbed Lian Chen and ran towards the side where the shock was less felt.

The soul beasts rioted and chased the two of them based on the smell.

Duo Lan pulled him along as he ran, while Lian Chen released his mental power to investigate the surrounding situation.

With her current soul power, the coverage area of her mental power is about 150 meters in radius. Once she detects the mental fluctuations of a soul beast, she will speak out to remind Duo Lan and cleverly avoid the route of the beast herd.

The smaller groups of beasts could still escape, but soon, more and more soul beasts gathered, and they were swept away by the torrent of beasts, and their hands lost strength and loosened.

"Teacher Duolan!" Lian Chen shouted, and what responded to her was the deafening footsteps and chaotic roars of beasts.

Teacher Duolan’s strength is as high as that of a five-ring soul king. Without her as a burden, it would be easier to escape from the beast tide.

Countless bloody mouths were right in front of him. He just tiptoed and used his lightness skills to fly out of the herd.

She was not familiar with this forest, and in order to avoid being chased by soul beasts, she unknowingly stepped into the inner area.

After successfully getting rid of the herd of beasts, Lian Chen stopped and landed lightly and steadily.

Before he could breathe a sigh of relief, he raised his eyes and bumped into the corpses of soul beasts all over the ground. Purple and black soul rings were suspended above them.

After the death of a soul beast, if the soul ring it produces is not absorbed by the soul master in time, it will dissipate on its own within an hour.

The soul rings have not dissipated yet, proving that they died not long ago.

The fresh corpse of the soul beast attracted a large number of flies and insects. The bloody smell in the air was almost as thick as paste, filling her entire nasal cavity.

Lian Chen couldn't help but dry heave, his heart suddenly tightened and he felt a burst of warmth.

She covered her mouth and nose and quickly fled the place.

I held my breath and ran a hundred meters away, and the smell of blood faded a lot.

Lian Chen gasped violently for a few times, and after calming down a little, she continued to move forward, planning to find a place to rest temporarily, wait for the beast tide to pass, and then go back to find Teacher Duolan.

Soul beasts can be seen from time to time along the way. Some have completely lost signs of life, while others are still alive and struggling in pain.

The wounds on their bodies were caused by soul skills or sharp weapons, and both signs clearly pointed to human soul masters.

Although the relationship between humans and soul beasts is one of the survival of the fittest, such wanton killing is too cruel.

Lian Chen frowned, her heart temperature rising again. She raised her hand to her chest, the abnormal changes in her body made her worried.

Suddenly, Lian Chen's eyes were attracted by the purple in the distance.

Very familiar.

She walked closer and saw that it was indeed the Dream Butterfly!

Three sharp ice spikes pierced its chest and abdomen, and the blood flowing on the ground turned into red ice.

The faint mental fluctuations proved that it was still alive. It seemed that the point where the ice cone pierced was not fatal. What was truly fatal was the cold air emitted by the ice cone, which eroded and froze its flesh and blood inch by inch.

Lian Chen pulled out his dagger and stabbed it into the center of its carapace without blinking. Before crossing over, she was a third-year medical student and was familiar with the body structure of arthropods.

If the body structure of a soul beast is the same as that of an ordinary animal, then this knife will hit the heart of the Dream Butterfly.

As the dagger was pulled out, the faint mental fluctuation disappeared. Then, purple light emanated from the body of the Dream Butterfly and condensed into a ring in the sky.

Lian Chen showed surprise when he realized that this was not the original Dream Butterfly.

Soul beasts of different ages produce soul rings of different colors.

The ten-year soul ring is white, the hundred-year soul ring is yellow, the thousand-year soul ring is purple, the ten-thousand-year soul ring is black, and the one hundred thousand-year soul ring is red.

Lian Chen had been searching for the previous Hundred-Year Dream Butterfly with Duo Lan for nearly four months, and now he encountered this one while avoiding the beast tide.

She didn't know how to identify the age of soul beasts, and the two Dream Butterflies looked almost exactly the same, so she naturally thought it was the same Dream Butterfly.

Lian Chen sighed lightly. It was a pity that the lifespan that a soul master's second soul ring could withstand was only about seven hundred years. A thousand-year soul ring was far beyond what she could absorb now.

He casually touched the soul ring, and the purple soul ring flickered for some reason, shrinking the wrist on the ring by itself.

A powerful and surging force was released from the soul ring and quickly penetrated into her skin.

The sudden change made Lian Chen helplessly want to take off the soul ring, but no matter how hard she tried, the soul ring was firmly wrapped around her wrist.

The power of the soul ring is surprisingly gentle and soft. The moment it enters the body, the Lingxi Sky Spider Martial Soul is passively activated to absorb the energy of the soul ring.

The purple soul power glowed brightly, enveloping Lian Chen.

This soul ring was actually actively merging with her!
Lian Chen didn't understand the current situation. According to common sense, the spirit ring should be guided and fused by the spirit master.

She was unable to stop the fusion process and was worried that she would not be able to withstand the power of the thousand-year soul ring.

Fortunately, she did not feel any discomfort.

Could she really absorb a thousand-year-level spirit ring as her second spirit ring?
As soon as the guess came to mind, a slight soreness and swelling pain came from the wrist, and then spread along the tendons of the arm to the whole body.

The pain intensified, reaching the limit that Lian Chen could bear, while the fusion of the soul ring continued.

The feeling of her body being torn apart completely erupted, her facial features were distorted in pain, and her face turned frighteningly pale.

At this moment, the temperature of her heart suddenly began to rise, and the scorching heat almost set her whole body on fire.

"Ugh...ah——" She fell to the ground exhausted, her body curled up, and screamed in pain.

Cold sweat kept rolling down her forehead and her breathing became heavy and rapid.

Due to the double torture of extreme pain and high temperature, Lian Chen lost consciousness in a short time.

In a trance, she felt her flesh and blood being crushed into pieces and then reassembled and repaired.

It was very strange. Even though she was in so much pain that she was collapsing, she intuitively felt certain that her life was not in danger.

The soul ring fusion lasted for an entire afternoon.

As night fell, dark clouds covered the sky and there was no light in the sky.

Finally, the fusion of the soul ring was completed, and a circle of invisible energy fluctuations spread out with Lian Chen as the center, and the overflowing soul power was taken back into her body.

Energy fluctuations shook the entire universe, and eyes from all directions turned to Douluo Star at the same time, and some even came here following the instructions.

A woman appeared out of nowhere. She leaned over and looked at the unconscious Lian Chen, her eyes filled with endless love.

"I have finally found you, my heir."
