'This should be enough to survive until I find a human settlement.' she thought.
System quickly prepared herself to explore the forest finding way to the nearest village or city. She wanted to experience living and interacting with other humans to complete her soul.
The sky had already turned dark by the time she ready to set off. Her eyes quickly adapted thus allow her to acquired < Night Vision > skill to see through the darkness.
While she dashed through trees and bushes, suddenly she felt several couples of eyes set their sight on her. She didn't stop moving when she sensed some presence pursuing her from behind.
Fail to shook off her pursuer, she turned around and stand in a combat-ready position. She saw several rat-like beasts ran toward her position. Their body as tall as 10 years-old human children, fully covered by rough grey-colored fur. Their claws were huge, and sharp make them looked like a warrior wielding 8 swords on their paws.
The group of beasts quickly surrounded her while the biggest beast shows its fang and lock its eyes on her like predators looking at their prey.
Without avoiding its gaze, she slowly recited.
”Identify.”
Pop-up notification appeared on her mind.

Although this was her first fight in her life, she remained indifferent. Her enemies were only a Second Stage Qi Refining at most, nothing to fear of.
Seeing its prey didn't show any sign of fear; the leader let out a screech, and immediately other gray rats leap at the woman.
Without moving from her position, she grabbed the nearest rat and threw its body at the second rat.
Bam!
The second rat, which still in the air, couldn't avoid the collision. The brunt impact made them instantly dead.
Next, System punched the third rat and abruptly exploded its head. The fourth and the fifth rats attacked her from each of her sides but were easily repelled.
Swoosh! Swoosh! Smack!
She then swung her kicks at the two rats aiming at their head, both of them ended up dead.
Five gray rats were wiped out in a mere second.
The gray rat's leader felt like it saw a grim reaper when the woman in front of it quickly massacred its minion; the leader realized that it was a bad idea to fight this woman head-on.
It retreated to the bush, hiding its presence.
The woman knew that the big rat hadn't left yet. She kept her guard up and ready to strike at any moment the rat revealed itself.
At the next moment, she heard rustled from the bushes behind her, and suddenly a shadow leaped at her.
Before she can react, an arrow shot through the shadow head, piercing its skull and destroying its brain. The next moment, she saw the gray rat's leader lifeless on the ground.
”Are you okay?” A clear voice like the chirps of Oriole was heard from afar.
Looking at the source of the voice, she saw a figure rapidly came closer.
It was a young woman with aqua eyes and long wavy brown hair in a two-side-up consisting of a part of her being tied into two black ribbons, while the rest hung loose.
Her fiery crimson dress tightly hugged her body, emphasizing her graceful and enchanting figure. Her figure was slim to the point one would worry a light breeze would blow her away and break her.
As the woman stopped in front of her, she nodded and replied curtly.
”Yes”
The young woman seems intrigued with her doll-like figure and expressionless face. Why was she alone in the forest at night? Where was she coming from? And what the heck with that ugly white robe?
”I am Xue. Feng Xue. What's your name? and why are you in the forest alone?” Xue asked worriedly.
