After just taking down a hundred thousand monsters, although they were only First Tier and Second Tier low-level monsters, Zhang Yanhang still couldn't help but want to check his Soul points balance.

[Soul Points: 2,503,745 (+1,972,405)]

"Originally, I only had 531,340 Soul points, and now I've gained 1,972,405 more Soul points, bringing my balance from six digits to seven digits at 2,503,745 Soul points. Not bad.

After all, it only took about ten seconds to gain nearly two million Soul points, which was absolutely impossible at the Fourth Tier in the past. Permanent Teleportation Channels are indeed the best for farming Soul points."

Zhang Yanhang recalled that the option previously mentioned that there were teleportation channels all over Niger. He estimated that if he could attack more Permanent Teleportation Channels here, he might push his Soul points balance back up to eight digits. Although most are low-level teleportation channels, their cumulative effect is not a small number.

After briefly checking the Soul points balance, Zhang Yanhang immediately started recovering the monster corpses he had just taken down. While the ranks of the monsters were relatively low, their quantity was substantial—after all, there were a hundred thousand corpses, and it would be a waste not to collect them.

Due to the vast desert plain, Zhang Yanhang's recovery process was quite swift. He quickly swallowed all the corpses into his Stomach Space, naturally excluding the bodies of African individuals, as they would only waste the capacity of his Stomach Space if absorbed.

However, after recovering the monster corpses, Zhang Yanhang didn't rush towards the Ayer Mountains in the west. Instead, he arrived at the door of a Permanent Teleportation Channel to test it, and this time, as expected, his hand passed through it unimpeded to the other side.

Following the principle of "since I'm here," Zhang Yanhang took a look inside. Upon entering, he unsurprisingly saw a vast desert stretching endlessly, with no end in sight even from ten thousand meters in the air.

Zhang Yanhang estimated that this unknown desert of Ashen World should be many times larger than the Sahara Desert.

During his observation of the desert, Zhang Yanhang also scanned a few areas. However, these new areas were all First Tier areas, tightly surrounding the Second Tier area ruled by the Desert Giant Worm, preventing Zhang Yanhang from exiting from the Permanent Teleportation Channel and forcing him to return the same way.

Before returning, in one of the First Tier areas, Zhang Yanhang saw a few familiar spider-shaped lord monsters he had seen but couldn't kill before.

In these several First Tier areas, Zhang Yanhang could clearly see that most of them had already emptied out, with no monsters present. He suspected that these empty First Tier areas had likely opened Permanent Teleportation Channels and currently exist in the surrounding areas of Niger.

Of course, they might also exist in other places, such as Asia or Europe, among other destinations, given that despite the environmental characteristics making Niger more likely to connect with desert areas, it's not fixed, and teleportation channel connections are generally quite random.

Much like how the small Crimson Iron Ant Nest Dala Gu was connected to Qin Island City, while the large Crimson Iron Ant Nest Tarano was inexplicably connected to Greenland, it is all random and uncontrollable.

However, after gradually deciphering some of the connection principles of the teleportation channels, Zhang Yanhang felt he could guess some of the reasons why the teleportation channel of the small Crimson Iron Ant Nest Dala Gu was connected to Qin Island City.

It is well known that the area beneath Qin Island City is entirely solid granite. Zhang Yanhang believed it was this environmental feature that led to the connection between the small Crimson Iron Ant Nest Dala Gu and Qin Island City.

But more often, as a coastal peninsula city, Qin Island City gets commonly linked with areas involving oceans and water, as well as other areas with foreign themes.

Before leaving, Zhang Yanhang asked the Multiple Choice about the name of this desert region, and it identified the place as the Land of Slumber.

Zhang Yanhang had initially thought this was just an ordinary, endless desert, but now it seemed that there might be some extraordinary monster slumbering within it. Unfortunately, he couldn't leave the area. Otherwise, he would have ventured inside to see what remarkable monster or divine being might lay dormant there.

"But if it's a divine being slumbering here, that means that god is probably already dead and waiting for resurrection, which is a bit less interesting," he said.

Zhang Yanhang was more eager to have some interaction, especially physical and close-range interactions, with living divine beings. For instance, he pictured forcefully shoving his hand into their chest and extracting their Divine essence while they blushed furiously (in anger), metaphorically giving them a literal 'heart and soul' extraction.

Having made it to Ashen World, Zhang Yanhang spontaneously attacked the area of the spider-shaped lord monsters again. But unsurprisingly, he still couldn't break through the limits of Ashen World, indicating that he might never be able to defeat those spider monsters.

Feeling a tinge of regret, Zhang Yanhang silently returned to the Main World through the Permanent Teleportation Channel and began comparing his map as he continued towards the Ayer Mountains in the west.

But having just flown for a short while, Zhang Yanhang encountered a new Permanent Teleportation Channel, even closer than before. He had flown for only about a second before coming upon this Permanent Teleportation Channel, which clearly wasn't in the same environment as the previous two.

After all, Zhang Yanhang couldn't imagine a group of humanoid soldiers clad in nano combat suits and wielding electromagnetic rifles occupying the same area as those insects.

Incidentally, this Permanent Teleportation Channel was also located near a city, or rather, near the ruins of a city.

As for why teleportation channels frequently appear near cities, Zhang Yanhang had known the theoretical explanation for that a long time ago, and it wasn't anything too profound. It was simply that cities have a denser population of Awakeners, who possess a special connection with teleportation channels, making those channels more likely to appear around them.

Therefore, with such interlinked factors, the probability of teleportation channels appearing near cities is much higher than in remote wilderness areas or towns and villages.

And this focused targeting is precisely why African inland countries like Niger, whose defense is roughly non-existent and where the government army's sole purpose is to fight rebels, are extremely vulnerable to invasions by monsters from Ashen World and thereby face eventual annihilation.

To be fair, the government army isn't solely engaged in fighting rebels. Occasionally, they engage in large-scale purges and other violence-related activities, because if they can't profit from warfare, they naturally have to resort to faster income-generating side businesses.

But either way, as permanent teleportation channels weren't as densely compacted as they are now, some degree of maintenance was possible.

But since a month ago, which was about half a year after the spiritual revival began, things started to go wrong, as the earliest permanent teleportation channels began opening on a large scale.

In fact, even before entering the Ashen World, Zhang Yanhang had seen a lot of news about the chaos in Africa and the refugee crisis. But it was only after he actually arrived here that he realized the situation might be even more serious than he had imagined.

After all, in the cities he encountered, there were basically no living people. He doubted whether even a tenth of Niger's original population of twenty million remained.

After all, even the lowest-level First Tier Monster had the strength comparable to a Licker, with at least tens of thousands in number. Without Awakeners, even if an ordinary city had an army stationed, it would be utterly ineffective.

In normal conditions, a Licker could slaughter SWAT teams and mercenary teams. The army born under the excellent matching mechanism of the African region likely had less combat capability than the SWAT teams of Raccoon City.

After all, those were elite forces of the United States, many of whom were former army personnel transitioning to SWAT, commonly known as military police. And at least they were educated.

But in a country like Niger, where literacy rates are just over twenty percent when being able to write one's name means you are not considered illiterate, the combat capability of the army is obvious.

As for what the connection between literacy rates and army combat capability is,

You would have to ask a certain Cyrus unit, which specially organized literacy classes.

Of course, fundamentally speaking, it's quite simple. After all, if the soldiers on the ground can't even understand their officers' orders and don't know left from right, they naturally have no organization in combat, and their combat capability would certainly be worryingly low.

So, under such circumstances, Zhang Yanhang wouldn't be surprised by how many people died in a defenseless inland African country like Niger, as they truly have no resistance, not even a little bit.

[Successfully killed First Tier Three Star Monster 'Nano Armor Clone Soldier·Assault Type (Ordinary)' × 1, Soul points +10.]

[Successfully killed First Tier Three Star Monster 'Nano Armor Clone Soldier·Defense Type (Ordinary)' × 1, Soul points +12.]

[Successfully killed Second Tier One Star Monster 'Nano Armor Clone Soldier·Attack Type (Elite)' × 1, Soul points +60.]

[Successfully killed Second Tier Two Star Monster 'Nano Armor Clone Soldier·All-round Type (Elite)' × 1, Soul points +110.]

......

After casually wiping out all these soldiers in nano armor below, Zhang Yanhang discovered that these humanoid monsters were all clones. No wonder he found them weird looking, or rather, they looked quite similar.

Previously, he thought this was some special type of humanoid monster, but it turned out to be clones directly generated from a cultivation tank.

After casually clearing out another Second-tier Permanent Teleportation Channel, Zhang Yanhang didn't go inside anymore, as he wasn't very interested in these low-level areas. He just wanted to farm more Soul points.

In line with the idea of farming more Soul points, Zhang Yanhang took a stroll around and indeed found several more low-level teleportation channels, all First Tier and Second Tier teleportation channels, primarily divided into two types. The first type was naturally the previous desert monsters, and the second type was these humanoid monsters in nano armor.

However, compared to the diversity of desert monsters, these humanoid monsters of unknown origin were relatively repetitive, basically constantly repeating among the three types: Nano Armor Clone Soldier, Transformed Soldier, and Biochemical Soldier. Perhaps the opposite technological type area was more advanced in biotechnology.

But this advancement is relative. In terms of individual strength, these monsters lag far behind the various biological monsters of the Umbrella company. After all, the Krees have even researched the miniaturization of nuclear fusion, which belongs to the pre-technology of lighting up star civilization and can start space colonization by building spaceships anytime.

And these nano armor teleportation channels are obviously poor in this aspect.

Finally, when everything was cleared, Zhang Yanhang had cleared a total of three First Tier Permanent Teleportation Channels and five Second Tier Permanent Teleportation Channels, swallowing over seven hundred thousand monster corpses into his stomach space.

But fortunately, monster corpses, etc., are relatively small and do not take up much space, especially those clone soldiers and transformed soldiers, who are generally only about two meters tall, not much larger than normal humans. At least several bodies can fit into one cubic meter, while his stomach space has a volume of seventeen billion cubic meters.

Therefore, if it's just the corpses of monsters of this degree, it's still far from filling up Zhang Yanhang's stomach space, so there is no need to rush to refine the monster corpses into subordinate sage stones to make room for the stomach space, which is quite unnecessary.

As for the desert monsters' corpses, they might be a bit larger, but the stomach space can still accommodate over ten million corpses without a problem.

So, Zhang Yanhang plans to return and find time to convert these monster corpses into subordinate sage stones.

Meanwhile, it must be mentioned that Zhang Yanhang's original subordinate sage stones were quite abundant, and could still last for more than ten days. Once this batch of corpse refining is completed, it is estimated that it can last for a longer time.

Only, considering that they are First Tier and Second Tier low-level numbers, although the quantity is large, the quality is worrying, and how many subordinate sage stones ultimately produced remains unknown.

But it certainly can't compare to the Third Tier monster corpses and Fourth Tier monster corpses he had before, as in terms of energy density, even the weakest Third Tier monster corpse contains several times the energy of Second Tier monsters.
