BXBX NOVEL Chapter 27 Island Of The Falling Star
"Well, I didn\'t get many points today, but thanks to Mei, I got a lot of important information!" Theo thought as he ran towards the cave.
At this moment, Theo was very happy with his decision not to worry about a (Human) city now, for from what he heard from Mei, they had a good chance of either killing him or forcing a contract with him. This was something he least desired. He also felt lucky to have met Mei rather than someone else, since even when she was so strong, she did not try to force him to follow her.

Continuing on the way back to the cave, even after running for some time, Theo did not find many (Animals) or (Monsters). Which made him think that they must have felt Mei\'s strong presence and fled. Only the less intelligent ones stayed.
Only after running around for half an hour, Theo began to come across more (Animals) and some (Goblins) that he killed on his way.
Thanks to this, Theo now had a total of 26,741 [System Points] and it wasn\'t long before he reached the cave.
Theo: "[Dimensional Room]"
Arriving in the cave and entering the [Dimensional Room], Theo noticed that Yuki had already stopped cultivating, and was waiting for him.
"Have you waited long?" Theo asked.
"No, I stopped cultivating not too long ago!" Yuki replied.
"I see... well, I have some things to talk to you about! But before that, let\'s go back to eat," Theo said.
Seeing Yuki nodding in response, Theo and Yuki left the [Dimensional Room] and Theo began to prepare lunch for them.
"Yuki, today I went out hunting and I came across a very strong (Human). Luckily she had no intention of harming me," Theo said as he prepared his lunch.
"Really?! Glad that nothing bad happened!" When Yuki heard about Theo finding a powerful (Human). She was relieved that nothing had happened to him, but the fear that something would happen to Theo again persisted.
"Yes, I also talked to her for a while, and I got some important information from her!" Theo said.
Yuki sighed relieved and said, "Well, as long as you\'re well, I\'m happy!"
"Yes, I was lucky to have found her and not another (Human)." Theo said and continued, "I am glad to have found her. She explained many things that I was in doubt about before."
"Good!" Yuki exclaimed happily.
In fact, Theo was not afraid of being killed by anyone, because he owned the [Dimensional Room] and could always hide there. Instead, he was afraid of having to expose the [Dimensional Room] to someone, because, if he was found out to have something like that, it is very likely that he would start to be hunted. Even more so after he heard from Mei about the (Human) who betrayed the (Dragon) running away with (Dragon\'s Egg) to have more profits. Just hearing this, Theo already imagined that the people of this world were very greedy.
Theo then began to explain to Yuki everything he talked to Mei about.
"Ahem, the things I\'ve heard about the human Mei are really like that." Theo recounted the conversation he had with Mei. It turned out that the forest in which they currently live was not as simple as he thought. This forest lied on an island called [Falling Star Island] and despite being called an island, the size of it was not small at all. It stretched for thousands of miles. Mei mainly warned him not to go too deep into the island, as there are very powerful beings there. She said she did not have the strength to explore this island until the very end, especially because the beings who live deeper in the forest have their own territories, and if someone were to enter it without permission... they will end up dying.
The [Falling Star Island] was not very strong originally.
However, they say that a thousand years ago, a star fell on the island and made the mana around it several times denser and purer. Therefore, many strong beings emerged continuously living near the place where it fell.
It was also because the members who lived close to it kept it a secret so that they were able to cultivate to become stronger. In the end, it came out to surface later, but they were already strong enough to protect their territories.
"Wow! So it\'s like that…" Yuki said in surprise.
"Yes, but we do not have to worry about that! Because we have the [Dimensional Room] that also has dense mana, and we are getting strong quickly, but it is best not to go too deep in the island at the moment. We can always get stronger, and then explore the island," Theo explained.
"I will definitely work hard to become more powerful and not be a burden to Theo. I\'ll train, train hard!!" Yuki said determinedly.
Hearing what Yuki said, Theo smiled and said, "I do not think of you as a burden! I\'ll always help you get stronger and protect you!"
"Theo..." Yuki was so thrilled that warm tears began to stream down her face. She felt like the happiest person in the world for having Theo by her side.
With tears in her eyes, Yuki said, "I\'ll be more powerful and I\'ll protect you too!" Moving toward Theo, Yuki began to rub her face on his.
Theo smiled gently at Yuki and said, "I\'ll be counting on you then!"
Yuki waved her tails, asserting in a cute way Theo\'s words: "Mhm!"
Soon the food was ready, then they began to eat while Theo talked to Yuki and narrated the rest of what he had talked with Mei.

After eating lunch, Theo remembered something and said, "I got some delicious fruits, do you want to try?"
"Yes!" Yuki nodded, wagging her tails.
Theo then took two apples out of his [Dimensional Bag] and gave one to Yuki.
"Sour! Hm... but it tastes sweet afterwards... they taste good!" Yuki said happily.
"Hehe, I also found it sour, but good to eat right?!" Theo smiled at her.
"Yes!" Yuki replied as he ate the apple.
Seeing how happy she was eating the apple, Theo was glad to have brought enough into his [Dimensional Bag].
After eating the apples, Theo asked, "I\'m going to hunt now, do you want to come with me?"
"Yes, I want to help you hunt!" Yuki quickly responded by surprising Theo.
Theo and Yuki then left the [Cave] towards the forest.
