Humans are devouring and selling off the heavens

Chapter 89 The Lost Bald Man and a Casual Punch

In the world of Infinite Terror, deep within the underground labyrinth of the Dark Pea in the One-Punch Man dimension, footsteps and suppressed grumbles mingled.

"Something's wrong, something's really wrong! 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 completely disoriented. 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—it'll be there soon, right?"

Zheng Zha: "...—

Team Central Continent: "..—

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

Zheng Zha was filled with deep regret.

When Zheng Zha asked for directions earlier, the bald man looked listless and uninterested. But after Zheng Zha handed him a small gold bar, he suddenly became incredibly energetic, patting his chest and declaring that he wanted to be a guide. Without saying a word, he lifted a cover and jumped inside. If there hadn't actually been a maze underground, Zheng Zha would have suspected that the bald man 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 operation 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 to them with a blank expression and asked, "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 barged 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 gaze 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, for he could clearly see that the other person had crawled out from a crack in the brickwork that was only a few millimeters wide!

"This is 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 executive, I don't get much 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 puzzled, and said, "Huh? Where did this cat come from? We don't have any dried fish here."

"No, are you an idiot? What kind of cat is this weird?!" 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 slammed its feet into 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."

"Bang!"

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 hopped to the side, its fur standing on end in fright, looking just like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, and 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 Central Continent Team members: "..."

"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 in that instant confirmed to them that this bald man was definitely a monster disguised as an ordinary person.

However, their 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, Zheng Zha suddenly heard the cold notification voice of the main god in his mind: [Kill the Dragon-level monster "Meow Meow" to obtain A.]

One side quest at level 1 rewards 6000 points.

He was suddenly stunned, then gasped.

"A-level side quest?"

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

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

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

Zheng Zha watched Saitama's retreating figure, shaking his head with a wry smile: "Whatever, 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—"
