Chapter 89 The Lost Bald Man and a Casual Punch

The Infinite Terror World, the One-Punch Man Dimension...

Deep within the dark, winding underground labyrinth, footsteps mingled with suppressed grumbles.

"Something's not right, something's really not right! Where are we? Why do we feel like we're going in circles?"

Zheng Zha looked at the bald, cloaked man in front of him, who was looking around and seemed obviously dizzy. A vein throbbed on his forehead, and his tone was full of helplessness.

"Saitama, are you completely directionally challenged? You have no idea where the Monster Association is, right?"

Upon hearing this, Saitama touched the gold bar hidden in his pants, beads of cold sweat forming on his forehead. He mumbled, "Probably... we'll arrive a little further ahead?"

Zheng Zha: "…………"

The members of the Central Continent Team: "..."

"I really shouldn't have asked some random nobody for directions..."

Zheng Zha was filled with deep regret.

When I asked for directions earlier, the bald man seemed listless and uninterested, but after I handed him a small gold bar, he instantly became energetic, patted his chest, and offered to be my guide. Without saying a word, he lifted a manhole cover and jumped in...

If there weren't actually a maze underground, Zheng Zha would have suspected that this bald guy was just a comedic character trying to cause trouble.

No, now it seems that even if he's not causing trouble, he's definitely a comedic character!

Getting lost?! What kind of nonsense is that?!
But suddenly, everyone except Saitama stopped in their tracks.

A chilling, malicious mental force had just swept over them.

Zheng Zha frowned, a chill running down his spine as if he were being watched by a venomous snake: "Are those guys from the Monster Association?"

Zhang Jie stared intently into the depths of the earth and said in a low voice, "We haven't made contact yet, but the opponent's mental strength far exceeds my telekinetic power. I'm afraid... they've already locked onto us."

Seeing that everyone had stopped talking, Saitama turned around and asked with a blank look, "We've been discovered? Should we stop or keep going?"

The members of the Central Continent Team: "..."

So you're asking because you're lost and don't know which way to go?

……

Deeper underground, on a certain level, a fleshy monster leaned against a cushion. Its head was dominated by a single eye, which scanned the ceiling above it before speaking in a low, eerie voice:
"Besides the Hero Association, it seems there are other uninvited guests who have broken in..."

Its gaze swept over the group of Dragon-level monsters in the hall, finally settling on a lazy figure in the corner: "Meow Meow, you go up and take care of them. The rest of you, keep an eye on the Hero Association's S-class heroes..."

……

A few minutes later, just as Zheng Zha was feeling hopeless about Saitama's terrible sense of direction, a faint sound suddenly came from the shadows ahead.

"Who's there?!" The Zhongzhou team instantly went on high alert. Zhang Jie's telekinesis spread out, and Chu Xuan pushed up his glasses, his sharp eyes locking onto the source of the sound.

From the shadows of the wall, a furry figure suddenly darted out—a strange cat as tall as a person, standing upright on its hind legs.

Zheng Zha's eyes widened at the sight, because he could clearly see that the other person had crawled out from a crack in the brickwork that was only a few millimeters wide!
"It's a bit troublesome."

With its hands on its hips and its triangular eyes wide open, it spoke in a lazy yet arrogant tone: "Sigh, even as an officer, I don't have much time to rest. I'm a Dragon-level monster, yet I have to waste my time on you little guys."

"Dragon level?!" Upon hearing this, Zheng Zha's heart tightened, and he was about to mobilize the energy within his body.

Saitama scratched his head, looking confused. "Huh? Where did this cat come from? We don't have any dried fish here." "Seriously? Are you stupid? There's no such strange cat!" Zheng Zha couldn't help but growl.

Meow Meow was enraged by Saitama's gaze, and inexplicably thought of her former owner, and roared: "You bald bastard, what kind of look is that?!"

Before it finished speaking, it stomped its feet on the ground, and the surrounding floor instantly shattered, turning into a dense rain of stone projectiles that shot towards the crowd!

Immediately afterwards, it transformed into a black shadow and pounced out, its claws carrying wind blades that tore through the air, shredding the surrounding walls wherever it passed!
"Watch out!" Zheng Zha growled and was about to rush forward when he saw Saitama casually scratch his cheek and lazily raise his hand: "Hey, you have no manners. Cats can't just scratch people like that."

"boom!"

A muffled thud was heard, but there was no earth-shattering noise. In less than the blink of an eye, the ground in front of Saitama suddenly collapsed, cracking open a bottomless pit!

As if sensing something, the cat instantly jumped aside, its fur standing on end, looking just like a cat whose tail had been stepped on. It cried out in terror, "Wh-what?!"

Before it could even stand up straight, Saitama's seemingly casual punch landed precisely on its head.

Meow Meow immediately spat out a mouthful of cat blood and collapsed to the ground, dizzy.

"I think I went a bit too far. Will this be considered cat abuse?"

Saitama looked down at the unconscious Meow Meow, scratched his head in annoyance, then glanced at the hole in the wall and suddenly his eyes lit up as if he had discovered a new continent: "Oh, there seems to be a passage here."

The members of the Central Continent Team: "..."

"He... he just solved it like that?" Zheng Zha subconsciously swallowed, looking at the bottomless pit and the unconscious Miao Miao, feeling a chill run down his spine.

Those are Dragon-level monsters that can grant the entire team a B-rank side quest and 5000 reward points just by killing two of them!
"Zheng Zha, you just called him a nobody." Chu Xuan pushed up his glasses, his tone calm and even, but it made Zheng Zha's lips twitch. "Why do I feel like the team has gained another 'gorilla' who only has strength?"

The power that had just erupted made them completely certain that this bald man was definitely a monster disguised as an ordinary person, only... his behavior was too outrageous.

Saitama was already cautiously peeking into the new passage.

Zheng Zha took the opportunity to punch the unconscious monster Miao Miao, smashing its head.

The next moment, a cold, authoritative voice suddenly rang in Zheng Zha's mind: [Kill the Dragon-level monster "Meow Meow," obtain one A-rank side quest, reward 6000 points.]

He was suddenly stunned, then gasped.

"A-level side quest?"

Hearing Zheng Zha's exclamation, Chu Xuan pushed up his glasses: "A-level side quest... It seems this bald guy dealt with a tricky character."

"This Saitama is probably the strongest character in this horror movie, but his behavior is really hard to figure out."

"But didn't the main god give us a survival mission? It seems a bit too easy for Saitama to kill even a Dragon-level monster so easily..."

Zheng Zha watched Saitama's retreating figure, shook his head with a wry smile, and said, "Who cares? Maybe our luck is about to change?"

…………

……

"This seems a bit tricky..."

Deep underground, the large, bright eye sensed the dead Meow Meow, and its single eye frowned slightly.

"But it doesn't matter, Lord Orochi is invincible..."
