Chapter 164: Soul Chasing Butterfly (1/2)

For gathering intel and tailing, shadow mice are the best, because they are highly intelligent and understand human language.

But for scouting an area, the insects are the best things.

Zoi termite queen let all the termites cover all the area around the mansion and started spreading throughout the estate.

The mansion is in the deeper part of the estate and it is mostly covered with the impact crystals which are toweringly high in some places and at the same time make it almost impossible to peer into the mansion from a distance.

So, if the other party really wanted to keep an eye on Sam, by employing a human, he would be able to find them in no time with the zoi termites.

Even if the shadow mice are good, they are better suited for gathering intel and tailing. But for scouting a particular area in a short amount of time, insects with a queen are best.

But Sam waited for more than half-an-hour and he didn't find any person in the distance. More precisely, the queen didn't find anyone.

Then he deployed the shadow mice to see if anyone is in shadow form. He might have overlooked this before. So, he let the shadow mice take a look.

In the field of shadows, these shadow mice are the best, there are very few beings who can beat them in shadows when they are at their peak.

After getting a negative result again, Sam felt that human following is out of question.

So, he thought of something else. The watcher might be a beast or an insect.

And there is another thing to consider and that is the watcher should be capable of identifying the person who killed Sam, if they want to deal with that person.

So, the search criterion can be narrowed a bit.

And when he looked at the termite queen, something came to his mind.

He immediately went into the tower library and went through the info of the beastiary, he spent more than five hours before he came out. Now, he has a faint smile on his face.

If his guess was right, the watcher must be an insect.

So, he gave some instructions to the queen and took out the remaining locust queens and general of the termites and locust.

Then all the remaining locust are let out to scout the area.

After more than an hour, the termite queen finally gave him a positive answer.

Sam immediately moved to an area the termites and locust spotted and he started using his observe ability. There he saw a small, thin, transparent butterfly flying.

It is not visible to naked eye and even the spiritual sense cannot pin point it.

Only other types of insects can spot it and that is also very difficult.

This is Soul chasing butterfly.

A very peculiar and useful insect.

This insect is not like other butterflies which are independent, rather these butterflies also grow in a community.

In fact, they stay with the caterpillars which would transform into the soul chasing butterflies.

The soul chasing butterflies have a boss which gives the instructions and this insect species bloodline is only below the Zoi termite.

These soul chasing butterflies are a great for tailing and marking a person. The butterfly will attach itself to the soul presence of someone on the orders of the Boss and from then on it will follow that person

The Boss butterfly can record some instructions to the subordinates and infuse those instructions in form of memories or visuals into the souls of the butterflies.

So, if something happens to the person they are tailing, the butterflies will act according to the instructions.

For example, if the target is killed by a person and if the boss instructed that the butterfly should mark the person who killed, it will do so based on the visual instructions that are ingrained in its memories.

If the target is assassinated sneakily or from a long range, if there are any instructions matching the scenario like following the trajectory, the butterfly can do so and mark the killer.

The Boss has a wide range of sensory when it came to sensing its subordinates which is almost compared to a satellite from his previous life.
