LGHTNOVELBOOK Chapter 1218: Bimbi
-----
"Here, drink this."
I gave Bimbi a [Small Healing Soda], one of the healing items of this VR World. It comes in the shape of a green soda with melon flavor, but it can restore a player's health points.
When she drank it all, her broken arm slowly felt better, and it seemed to have regenerated enough, although it still hurt her.
"There you go."
I ended having to do some first aid for her anyways, wrapping her arm on cloths around her chest so it wouldn't move.
Ah yes, and about her appearance… Bimbi at first glance resembled a human child with dark brown skin, she had long black hair and yellow eyes.
However, once I got closer I noticed she had a lot of fur and her fingers were instead big black claws, and there was fur above them too.
To make things more surprising, she also had large pointy ears instead of human ears, and a small black horn above her left eye.
I also sensed something within her, an accumulation of energy. She most likely possessed a Neutonium Core, or something close to it.
I don't know how this is even possible, but apparently it is… These people aren't human either way, so I guess anything is possible.
"After analyzing her enough, I've realized she must be one of the Tribes born from Mutated Humans that didn't just survive the cataclysm but also managed to adapt to their new bodies over many generations," explained the Neutonium Mother Core Spirit. "It seems that part of their mutation has helped them crystalize the radiation in the air as pseudo Neutonium Cores, but they're red colored and made out of their blood too… We could call them Neutonium Blood Cores, maybe."

"Are they also your kind?" I asked her.
"It's hard to say, but assuming things happened as they did, it seems that the radiation of my kind has permeated these jungles, most likely my other fragment," she said. "Technically, they're half Neutonium Kind."
"That's fascinating I guess," I nodded. "Alright Bimbi, you said you came from some other place?"
"The Saurian King!" she said, while eating some rations we shared with her. "He is the very evilest of evil men! He controls the Dinosaurs, and nobody can fight back against them in such huge numbers! He destroyed the villages that didn't want to obey and enslaved everyone else! Mama and papa… dead… Me alone ran away, I couldn't bring anybody else… Almost died, the untamed jungle dangerous! I was foolish…"
"So there's a guy controlling dinosaurs, the reptilian mutants?" wondered Eleanora. "I see… Well, be grateful, little Bimbi, we found you and now you'll be safe no matter what."
"R-Really?" Bimbi jumped with joy. "Yaaay! Now please kill the Saurian King! H-He's evil!"
"I know, but we need to learn more about him first," I said. "What else does he possess? How has he been treating your people? Where is his hideout?"
"He's over there! I can guide you…" Bimbi said. "He created his own Saurian Kingdom, where only those that belonged to his tribe get any privilege, because they have scales unlike the rest of us who have fur… Saurian are very strong too, not weak… They overpower us! A-And he's been enslaving us… forcing us to work, barely feeding us, killing us indiscriminately, whenever they felt like! We are nothing but toys to them and I'm tired of that!"
"I see…" I nodded. "What about the thing I asked you earlier? Have you seen a big blue jewel around here?"
"Blue jewel?" she asked. "Oh you mean the big blue stone? I remember a granny told me that that stone was once a treasure of the original tribe that lived around here… And this treasure was called the Spirit Soul Stone, and they said that it contained the souls of the dead inside! I've heard that the Saurian King stole it or something…"
"So there it is then…" I nodded. "Maybe he's harboring its powers to control the mutants somehow? What do you think?"
"Hmm, I don't truly know, but that's a possibility amongst the many there are," said the Neutonium Mother Core Spirit. "Seeing how this Saurian King might've been another Mutant Human but with reptilian appearance, maybe he already had a Neutonium Core Ability within his Neutonium Blood Core, and my Soul Fragment further strengthened this power."
"Interesting…" Said Hendrick. "Very well, we shouldn't waste more time, right master?"
"Yeah, I agree, let's go," I nodded. "We can't waste our time in here just thinking and talking, or even worse, worrying. We'll sweep through this however we see fit. Bimbi, our meeting has been very brief, but you've given us valuable clues, thank you."
"A-Ah, it's nothing lord god!" she said, blushing a bit. "Please let me guide you! T-The jungle is a treacherous place, but we people of the jungle can easily move around it and know the routes!"
"Fine then," I nodded. "But you can't remain on the floor, come with me."
I quickly brought her to Bravelion's head, the door above his head was open, letting her see by standing on the chair.
"Oh wow, we're so high!" she said, her eyes shining brightly. "And this is the head of the metal god?! Incredible, so shiny and so many colors! What's this? Wait, what does that do? Can I touch it? I'm going to touch it!"
"W-Wait Bimbi!"
I stopped her just before she were to press a bunch of buttons, holding her functional arm.
"Don't touch the metal god, or… you'll be cursed!" I said, trying to spook her.
"Oh no! Am I cursed already?!" she cried.
"Not yet but don't touch the lights," I said. "Or… Hmm, you'll be cursed and turned into a stone."
"Oh no!" Bimbi cried. "I don't want to become a stoneeee! Buuuaaahh!"
However, I overestimated her too much, as she started crying. I thought she was a bit more mature, buta t the end she was still a child.
"Blake, why are you making the child cry?!" Eleonora reprimanded me.
"Sorry, sorry…" I sighed. "Calm down, Bimbi, it's okay. Please guide us now."
"O-Okay…!" she nodded, as she ate another bag of rations to feel better.
