The article "Soul-chasing butterfly and the extermination of the Great Wilderness Sect in Taixia Country" was free to read . The author of the article was anonymous . It took Zhang Tie over 10 minutes to read that article three times carefully . After that, he started to consider about it .

Soul-chasing butterfly was an exotic species in the abyss of the underground world . It had very special property——after a knight gained its egg, the knight would have a telepathy with the soul-chasing butterfly after it hatched as long as he fed it with a bit of his own blood . With the help of the soul-chasing butterfly, the knight would be able to find or lock anyone .

A person would leave his odor in a certain territory or space . Gundogs and military dogs might easily identify a person's odor and find the owner through his odors . In addition to such an odor, there was another invisible odor, which came from one's inner properties . It was released from one's spiritual energy or soul . Soul-chasing butterfly's strength was that it could sniff such an invisible "odor" like gundogs and find its owner through this special "odor" .



Through many studies, as long as one had stayed in one place, his "soul's odor" would remain there for 72 hours after he left there . After putting one soul-chasing butterfly in that place where the man had stayed, the soul-chasing butterfly would be able to precisely identify that one's "soul's odor" . After that, it would be able to sense that one's location within 300 miles .

Zhang Tie remembered two key data about soul-chasing butterfly——3 days and 300 miles .

Of course, the two data would variate slightly due to physical differences between different soul-chasing butterflies . For instance, some soul-chasing butterfly would be able to sense their targets within 310 miles while some could only sense their targets within 290 miles; some soul-chasing butterflies could still precisely identify the person's "soul's odor" after the person left the place for 74 hours; some could not precisely identify the person's "soul's odor" after the person left the place for 65 hours .

According to the presumption of Northmountain Cloud in the article "Soul-chasing butterfly and the extermination of the Great Wilderness Sect in Taixia Country", there were two reasons about the relevance between soul-chasing butterfly and the extermination of the Great Wilderness Sect in Taixia Country": First, it was said that an elder of the Great Wilderness Sect deepened into the underground abyss and controlled a mutated soul-chasing butterfly by soul-based animal controlling skill . Compared to common soul-chasing butterflies, the mutated soul-chasing butterfly not only had a longer service life but also had a terrifying ability in chasing souls, which was 20 times better than common ones . After getting that special soul-chasing butterfly, that elder of the Great Wilderness Sect cooperated with some people and did some major events by that mutated soul-chasing butterfly . He became famous at once . However, due to the "major events", he enraged some powerful forces in Taixia Country . Finally, those forces joined hands with each other and exterminated the Great Wilderness Sect .

Second, although soul-chasing butterfly could identify everyone's soul's odor, it could do nothing to the soul-based animal-controlling skill of the Great Wilderness Sect . The soul-chasing butterfly could not identify and lock the souls of humans on animals . In the second holy war, the members of the Great Wilderness Sect adopted the soul-based animal-controlling skill to deepen into the demons' territory so as to seek for key intelligence and destroy many actions of demons . Due to this reason, demons and Three-eye Association cleared the Great Wilderness Sect from both inside and outside .

To be honest, this article was very gossipy . Some details were obscure . However, it was useful to Zhang Tie more or less as Zhang Tie learned two information about soul-chasing butterfly——How's the ability of soul-chasing butterfly? Whether he would be found by the soul-chasing butterfly in the state of soul-based animal controlling state or not?

Zhang Tie wondered what he would do if the demon general had more than one egg of soul-chasing butterfly . 'Unless I hide myself in Castle of Black Iron for 60 days after each action, I probably will be besieged by demon general and the other knights . Today, the demon general has 1 soul-chasing butterfly to chase after me, who knows whether he will send 3-5 soul-chasing butterflies to chase after me in the future? As long as he sends over 3 soul-chasing butterflies to chase after me, each of 3 groups of knights could extend their search range to 1,800 miles with one soul-chasing butterfly . In that case, the 3 groups of knights only need to fly towards the north in a line . The moment any group of them found me, they would instantly lock me . I would face tens even hundreds of times more risks by then . '

'Even though I could turn into an incarnation or directly hide in Castle of Black Iron at the critical moment, I would suffer by exposing my secrets . The moment those secrets were exposed, I would have endless troubles . '

'Nothing is free . Emperors will risk their life in common restaurants; handsome boys will lose their semen fluid in brothels; even I will risk exposing my secrets while deepening into the enemy's rear even though I have Castle of Black Iron . '

Zhang Tie considered to leave out of here . He wanted to stop this action . 'To be honest, I've already made a great military exploit——I almost destroyed two cities of demons and Three-eye Association, killing over 10 precious grave tower demons and one knight . Besides, I disrupted the plan of demons and Three-eye Association . With such a glorious achievement, it's reasonable for me to leave even if I face dangers . '

However, Zhang Tie suddenly recalled the pair of swollen and mattery feet and how the owner of that pair of feet was shared by the demonized puppets on the snow land .

'What should I do at this moment so as to make my parents proud and relieved?'

Zhang Tie would always ask the same question whenever he met the situation where he could hardly make a choice . . .

After being tortured by this question for many times, Zhang Tie's eyes gradually became firm . . .
