2 In the Central Marsh

When the radiance of the white eyes disappeared, the girl slowly got up.

She held her head in pain and recollected her thoughts to understand this strange situation. First, a screen appeared out of nowhere. Second, she pressed [Yes] since [No] is not available. Third, she was summoned to this little girl's body. Lastly, the memory seems to be one of her own. It is like this body is a part of her but is not.

Chang Xiuying is the name of the little girl, adopted when she is 7 months old in the Orphanage. 3 years old as of now and the memory of being born is rewritten too, the same as her previous life. What is really going on? She thought.

Chang Xiuying glanced at her other hand. It is clutching on the 10-colored flower. She suddenly remembered the time before she entered the girl's body. The body is clearly bitten and the poison is lethal that can result in death in a second. But this body expelled the poison and her consciousness entered.

Guided by the mischievous will-o'-the-wisp, which is intentional to find an opportunity to enter the new body, she discovered the very rare 10-colored flower but is guarded by the 10,000-year-old Python. That leads to her transfer into this world.

"Alright." She said to herself before stretching her little body. This body is 0.95 meters tall, her limbs are short, and her view is much bigger when she is back on Earth. Remembering the fact why she picked the rare flowers, she decided to keep it to herself.

'No one wanted to give flowers to the one that wanted you to disappear right? Except for children, they are too innocent to detect the hidden enmity between people.'

"Do my strength still effective here?" She pondered. She shrugged her shoulders before attempting to punch on the tree.

BAM!

Smoke came out on the body of the tree. When it disappeared a hole emerged that cracks appeared around the hole. No doubt, she got overpowered after entering the new world. However, this body didn't undergo intense training and is also too young, so why is she able to perform the things she learned on Earth? Even her strength is twice as strong.

"The heck." She complained without an expression on her face. As if it is only natural to her but her words contradict it. Hearing a rustle behind her, a white rabbit came out of the bush and sniffs for food.

Chang Xiuying's white eyes glinted. "I wonder if my speed leveled up too."

The white rabbit's body shivered and fearfully looked at Chang Xiuying. Sensing her intent, it immediately ran!

She grinned and blasted like an arrow to chase the white rabbit. "Yep, it leveled up."

1 minute has passed and she caught the ears of the rabbit. The white rabbit gave a pleading look to her. When Chang Xiuying smirked at the rabbit, the pleading look disappears and it started to kick her hand away. She slowly let it down and lets go of its ears.

"I won't eat you. I just tested my speed and that's it." She puts her hands behind her little back and walked away. The white rabbit tilted its head before departing. It still needed to find food.

When Chang Xiuying left the rabbit behind, her stomach growled. She started to skim through her storage bag to find something to eat. The storage bag's only content is the 7 and 10-colored flowers, some dried rations, two bags of water and a clean pair of clothes.

"These rations are not enough nutrition for this young one... seriously, people have to think about the nutrition of children!" She shook her head. These dried rations were given by Jiang Li to her. In the past few years, the food with the most nutrition was always snatched by Jiang Li and the less nutritious one will be left to her.

Their only relatives, Jiang Hao and Irene Felstead, won't be seeing this as they live in separate houses. These two were foreign people who entered the Central Marsh at the later date with unusual powers that frightened many villagers. Gladly, as time moves by, people are starting to open their hearts to them. They were useful to the village after all.

Chang Xiuying sighed. She decided to eat the dried rations. "I have to look for food then. I don't have to come back for now. If I went missing for a couple of days, this will alert Uncle Jiang and Aunt Irene. The next step will work on itself."

"I still have my previous ability and that is a great help for having a round in this forest."

Back on Earth, the greatest she achieved where the strength of 20 Elephants (approximately 12,000 pounds). While the humans only reached 2 Elephants (approximately 1,200 pounds) of strength. Which made her realize how inhuman she is.

Seeing a feeble body of a 16-year-old display such power, most importantly a girl. How will the confidence of the people with steroids when they saw a weak-looking girl is much stronger than them? How is the world so unfair?! Even Hercules have great muscles on him!

When she is finding food while exploring the forest, it contains wonders that is as good as Earth. Yet this place is just a small piece of land compared to Earth and is just a grain of sand in the eyes of the Universe. Chang Xiuying saw a tree with pink apple-like fruits on it, she looked around to see if there's a hidden trap that is lurking around the tree. When she discovered none, she started to pick some of it and stored it in her storage bag.

Fortunately, the storage bag can handle 1,000 items. This is a gift from Jiang Hao especially for her, saying that this bag is a medium-level Tier 4 Storage Bag. The low-level Tier 5 Storage bag can only hold 50 items, the medium-level can hold 100 items while the high-level can contain 500 items. The high-level Tier 5 Storage bag is scarce in Central Marsh and the most they have is the low-level Tier 5 one.

Jiang Hao produced some of these bags and provided the villagers. On how he did it, it is still a mystery to them. What's more important is that they can no longer have to carry heavy and big items with their hands. Irene also assisted on the making of the storage bag.

She picked all of the 32 fruits and ate one before continuing her round. Chang Xiuying also found more fruits and stored them in her bag, now she had a 1-week supply of fruits that occupied 249 of her storage bag. Disappointingly, she still hasn't encountered some meat on the way of her exploration. Though most of the meats were night-owl, some of them were active during the day such as the rabbits.

"I shouldn't let go of the rabbit back then..." She said dejectedly. Thinking about the meat, she still has to find spices and herbs for cooking. Of course, she has to take note of her nutrition, she's a growing child after all. Even after her adolescent stage, she had to consider her health. She wouldn't want to implicate her neighbor that is also her benefactor about her health.

"Shocks, I forgot about Auntie Zoe..." Thinking about suddenly dying on the way to Melbourne, her neighbor Zoe would hear the news and it will cause her too much heartache. Since Zoe always thought of her as her own child. She shook her head in frustration without being able to bid her goodbye.

Night came, it's completely dark and there is nothing that can light the night sky. There is no such thing as a moon in Central Marsh or the stars. Nights are the only thing that scared the villagers because it's the time where the powerful beasts will hunt and lurk out of their nests.

Chang Xiuying's white eyes looked like two moons under the night-sky as it excitedly observed her surroundings, she slowly closed it and heightened her hearing sense. Waiting for the moment she will hear the noises that the meats will make.

After 20 minutes of eager waiting, countless rustle broke out. It's time for the beasts to hunt and also for Chang Xiuying to hunt for meat.

...

Morning came, people started to group themselves to discuss what happened last night. Wild discussions erupted everywhere.

"Have you heard? Last night, the countless scream of the beasts were heard as if they were being slaughtered one by one."

"I also heard about two white lights were seen warping from one place to another. Once it appeared, a whimper is heard, there is little blood on the ground and there is no body of the slaughtered beast."

"Is it the will-o'-wisp? I never heard of it killing beasts before... however, that mischievous light only came as one, not two."

"Huh? Something like that happened? How come I am only aware now?"

"You're like a dead man if you were asleep, that's why you were not awakened by the scream of the agony of the beasts. This one is afraid that the next morning you would be turned into food by them."

The man named Zhen Chang who bravely got out of his house to check what's happening last night, speak. "It's true! Once I arrived on the scene with a ball of light with me, I saw those two white lights. Those lights were like eyes of the beast that flashed with killing intent as it looked at me. However, it completely ignored me and went from place-to-place to kill those beasts!

"It must be an arcane beast that has just woken up from its slumber, it is not possible to kill in such a dark hour! Now, I really don't want to hunt for food in that forest in a while. I might be the next food on its plate if I disturbed it. Please, dear villagers, stay safe in your homes. Otherwise, you won't be able to hold your dear life."

The villagers gasped in shock as they hear the words of Zhen Chang. He is reputed as the strongest hunter in the village that continuously provided them with food and rations, he also helped the weak greatly and is not too greedy. On top of that, he is a handsome young man in 25. That's the reason why they trusted his words so much to stay at home to protect their lives. As for the food, they also trusted it to the man itself since it is his responsibility to provide it to them.

Zhen Chang guessed what's on their mind and groaned into his heart, he bellowed. "I repeat, I won't be going inside the forest to hunt!"

After saying that, he quickly ran and disappeared from their sight. Another loud discussion erupted from the villagers. Most of it is complaints about what Zhen Chang just said.

"That wicked Zhen Chang! How dare he left us without giving any food?! This is his task for the village yet he chose his life rather than the life of the villagers?! Cruel! Unjustly!"

"Enough, Zhen Chang has done so much for us. Let him do what he wants." Yan Ruo spoke with calmness in her voice.

"You just said that because he helped you many times than us! Even Jiang Hao is nicer to you!" One of the villagers complained about her fortunate position between the two revered people in the Central Marsh.

"Speaking of Jiang Hao... he frantically searched through our village just to find our little goddess. Later, he will search in the forest, we should help." Yan Ruo ignored the complaint and changed the subject. She is one of the people that is always keeping watch on Chang Xiuying. All of the people in the village admired the adorable Chang Xiuying that almost every day they would visit her and play with her.

"It's been a day since our little goddess disappeared. I am starting to worry about her... right, we should help!"

"But Zhen Chang already warned us not to go into the forest. We can just postpone it and do it at a much later date."

The conversation flowed down as Chang Xiuying became a hot topic. The villager that complained to Yan Ruo's fortunate position were flushed in anger. "Don't ignore me!"

...

In the deepest part of the forest, smoke rose up at one point.

"Achoo!" Chang Xiuying rubbed her nose as she sniffed. She is holding a stick with a meat skewed into it while roasting it in the fire. This is one of the beasts that she hunted last night, she also didn't expect that the place she stayed is a nest of several beasts. She ended up killing them all without a trace of a survivor. Chang Xiuying even met a man in the middle of hunting which she ignored since she is busy collecting meats. When dawn came, she collected 14 carcasses.

"Does my situation have been found out?" She thought to herself. She just lifted the roasted meat from the fire and happily took a juicy bite.

"Now this is protein!" She exclaimed as she finished the whole meat. Oblivious to the fact that she became the hottest topic inside the village, whether it is the disappearance and the ruthless killings.
