Chapter 272

Chapter 272: 272

Neo took the list and the marked system map from Veya without hesitation. She had already highlighted every high-yield site she needed scavenged, the glowing markers bright against the projected terrain. He studied them once, then turned to the women gathered around him.

"I’ll pick the party," he said. "We’ll farm what we can, but there will be monsters. We clear them first."

Most of the women nodded at once. Neo’s gaze moved across the group, weighing speed against strength. He needed people who could move fast and hit hard.

"Alvina. Sai. Martha. Luna. You’re with me."

The four answered with firm nods. Sai alone held up a hand.

"Wait. Let my daughter take my place."

Neo’s eyes widened for a fraction of a second. The quiet force in her voice left no room for argument. A mother’s choice, pure and simple. He gave a single nod.

"Alright. Sakura comes instead of Sai."

The rest of the group accepted it without comment. They filed out of the Nyx tribe grounds together, the exit arch fading behind them. Outside, Neo kept the map open in his palm. The nearest mark pulsed over the Northern mountain—Astrid’s territory. He whistled once. The party broke into a run.

They did not climb. Instead they angled for the dark mouth at the mountain’s base and plunged straight into the cave system. The tunnel swallowed them whole. Inside, the space opened far wider than the entrance suggested. High ceilings vanished into shadow; the air carried the cold mineral scent of untouched stone. Every woman in the group slowed for a moment, surprised by the sheer scale.

Neo did not slow. He caught Sai’s wrist, pulled her a few steps aside, and ran his fingers through her pink hair. His other hand guided hers down until her palm pressed against the hard length straining his trousers.

"Can’t we enjoy a little time first?"

Sai glanced back toward the others, then at him. Her voice stayed low.

"You’re the leader. Get us an excuse."

Neo cleared his throat and raised his voice just enough to carry.

"Everyone wait here. Sai’s leg took a hit on the way in. I’ll check it."

The group accepted the order. Neo led Sai behind a massive slab of rock that blocked them from view. The moment they were hidden he yanked her clothes open. Sai lunged forward at the same time, arms locking around his neck. Neo lifted her by the heavy curves of her ass, fingers digging into soft flesh as he spread her. Her slick folds rubbed along the underside of his cock.

"Please," she whispered against his ear. "Push it all the way in. I’ve needed this since we started walking."

He lined up and slid home in one steady thrust. Both of them groaned. Sai felt the thick, hot length of him stretch her open, the blunt head forcing deeper until her body had nowhere left to go. Her soft weight settled fully onto him; every inch disappeared inside her. She gripped his broad shoulders, nails biting into hard muscle.

Footsteps approached. Neo shifted, angling Sai behind the stone’s edge so only a flash of her hand showed. Martha appeared at the corner.

"What’s wrong?" Neo asked, voice level.

Martha’s eyes narrowed. She had caught a soft feminine sound and the brief glimpse of fingers. She shook her head, deciding she had imagined it.

Neo waved a hand. "Orcs. A group of them. Kill them."

Martha nodded once and turned away. The moment she was gone Neo lowered Sai onto the cave floor in a mating press, knees forced high, shoulders pinned. He drew a slow breath, centered his strength, and drove his hips forward. Twelve thick inches punched deep in a rapid rhythm. Each stroke bottomed out against the softest part of her. Sai’s walls clenched hard; a sudden rush of wet heat spilled around his cock as she came.

Neo filled both hands with her heavy breasts, kneading them in opposite directions while his muscled legs and hips worked in perfect unison. Sweat already slicked the planes of his chest and the thick cords of his arms. Sai’s eyes stayed locked on him—the broad set of his shoulders, the way his stomach flexed with every thrust, the sheen of sweat running down the ridges of muscle. She felt every ridge of his cock drag along her stretched walls. More of her own fluids kept pouring out, soaking his shaft and the ground beneath her.

The pace built. Wet plap-plap-plap sounds echoed off the stone with every impact. Neo felt her inner muscles clamp down with insane force; the friction made his cock throb harder. Sai’s moans turned sharp. She felt him reshape her from the inside, the heavy length forcing her open again and again.

Neo shifted his weight, pinning her completely, and ground deep in slow circles. Sai rocked her ass up to meet him. The pressure finally broke. Thick ropes of cum flooded her as Neo’s hips locked. He stayed buried until the last pulse faded, then pulled free. A heavy stream of white spilled from her open pussy and ran down onto the stone.

He guided her onto her knees. Sai opened her mouth without being told and took him back in, tongue wrapping tight around the sensitive head and shaft. She sucked hard, cleaning every drop while Neo’s fingers tangled in her pink hair. The wet heat and pressure pulled a second climax from him almost at once. He groaned and came again, flooding her throat. Sai swallowed everything and kept working him until he was clean.

Neo helped her back into her clothes, steadied her on her feet, and the two of them rejoined the others as if nothing had happened. The group moved deeper. Light pulsed faintly from the cave walls themselves, revealing thick veins of iron, gold, and rarer minerals glittering in every direction. Neo and the women stopped at the center of the chamber.

He opened ten storage boxes at once. Each one burst open and released eighteen hundred eighty-eight gathering robots. The machines poured out in a black tide until the cavern floor could hold no more. Neo spent mana stones without counting and armed every robot with a mining pickaxe. The swarm climbed the walls at once, pickaxes ringing against stone, ore tumbling into collection fields that grew by the second.

Neo checked the floating status table that tracked every robot’s haul. Numbers climbed fast. He looked at the women.

"We go deeper. The map shows monsters farther in—red markers, and some are already moving toward the robots."

He tossed a time-speeding array behind the mining line, then formed the women into a defensive front with him at the center, his woman to protect those robot as Mc saw how much monsters kept moving towards them.
