After retrieving the corpses, Zhang Yanhang checked his Soul points balance again to see how much those eight permanent teleportation channels had helped him earn.

[Soul points: 14960146 (+12456401)]

"Originally, there were only 2,503,745 Soul points in total, but now my balance has increased to 14,960,146 Soul points, equivalent to a gain of 12,456,401 Soul points, which is indeed as expected, exceeding ten million."

Zhang Yanhang had previously felt that he could use these low-level permanent teleportation channels to raise his Soul points above ten million, but he didn't expect it to be so easy. Including the time spent retrieving corpses, it only took a few minutes to acquire twelve million Soul points.

"Although I've already marveled once before, I must say, this efficiency in acquiring Soul points is something I couldn't even imagine during the Fourth Tier."

Of course, eight figures are definitely the limit of these low-level permanent teleportation channels. It's certainly impossible for Zhang Yanhang to rely on quickly brushing through these low-level permanent teleportation channels to restore his Soul points balance to over nine figures.

After all, it would take at least several dozen consecutive runs of low-level teleportation channels, and if luck was bad, even seventy or eighty low-level permanent teleportation channels might not be enough to reach one hundred million, given that these eight permanent teleportation channels only yielded twelve million.

If the yields were slightly lower, even brushing through a hundred low-level permanent teleportation channels to gather one hundred million Soul points would be normal.

But that would be quite uninteresting. Zhang Yanhang is brushing this part of the Soul points primarily because it's convenient and doesn't waste time, but if he has to specifically search for them, that would waste time. He might as well find a high-level permanent teleportation channel and go all out.

"Speaking of which, I clearly said that after advancing to the Fifth Tier, I definitely wouldn't brush through these low-level permanent teleportation channels, yet only a few hours have passed and now I've completely embraced it. Truly, life is full of surprises."

Of course, Zhang Yanhang thinks this is mainly due to Multiple Choice, since if it hadn't been constantly hinting at it, he definitely wouldn't have come to such a basically worthless inland African nation like Niger.

"But after clearing these eight permanent teleportation channels, there are hardly any more teleportation channels nearby."

However, 'nearby' just means there's no permanent teleportation channel. While Niger is all desert, its area is still vast, roughly over one million square kilometers, certainly larger than countries like Japan and South Korea, so within the national borders, a lot of permanent teleportation channels are definitely still opening.

Zhang Yanhang estimated that if he really searched, he might not find hundreds, but at least one hundred should still be there, considering Niger is a big country in terms of land area, with surely a permanent teleportation channel every ten thousand square kilometers.

Specifically, Niger's territory of 1,270,000 square kilometers can actually rank twenty-first in the overall rankings, larger than some regional powers in Africa in terms of hard power, such as South Africa, Ethiopia, and Egypt.

Moreover, the entire Niger spans nearly 2,000 kilometers north to south, and Zhang Yanhang has only explored one direction and not fully yet has already harvested a total of eleven permanent teleportation channels.

This shows that Niger indeed has great potential to be excavated, and indeed, as mentioned in the options, the land is truly populated with teleportation channels.

Therefore, if he continues to encounter already opened permanent teleportation channels, Zhang Yanhang wouldn't mind cleaning them up again in passing.

"Oh, what kind of spirit do I have? This is simply a selfless humanitarian spirit, sacrificing myself in Africa, for nothing more than giving the African people a pure land where not a single living creature exists."

Zhang Yanhang feels the African Union ought to award him some kind of medal, perhaps an African New Liberalism medal or something, to commend his remarkable achievement of allowing all creatures to enjoy the freedom of the Netherworld after death.

"Nonetheless, the African Union is truly useless. Niger has been ravaged by monsters to this extent, and there's not the slightest bit of protest?"

Of course, Zhang Yanhang can understand a bit, given that most member countries are currently in a ravaged state, naturally making it hard to allocate more resources for selfless aid to unrelated neighboring countries. Therefore, only a dedicated internationalist warrior like Zhang Yanhang would come here to clear monsters gratis.

After all, truth be told, if Zhang Yanhang were to clear low-level permanent teleportation channels extensively within the Empire, it would be paid labor, earning a wage for each cleared channel, whereas in Niger, this is purely unpaid work. If Zhou Muxi knew, she would undoubtedly call it a waste of the Empire's high-end talent resources.

But admittedly, clearing permanent teleportation channels within the Empire would certainly be slower and involve several turns, given that teleportation channels cannot open together in clusters. They wouldn't gather together awaiting his clearing like in Niger, but would only open one after another, requiring separate travels to different provinces.

After checking the Soul points balance, Zhang Yanhang continued flying west, heading towards the Ayer Mountains.

This time, having pre-cleared some nearby permanent teleportation channels, Zhang Yanhang didn't encounter a new permanent teleportation channel within just a second or two of flying. This time, he flew for a full five seconds before encountering a new permanent teleportation channel.

That's right, Zhang Yanhang encountered another permanent teleportation channel, and this time it was a Third Tier permanent teleportation channel. Thus, Zhang Yanhang confirmed once again the saying that Niger truly is full of permanent teleportation channels.

Since crossing the Niger border, Zhang Yanhang has flown seriously for only eight seconds, and this has already been the twelfth permanent teleportation channel he encountered, while he has only flown four hundred kilometers, merely reaching a midsection, and is still four hundred kilometers away from the western Ayer Mountains.

Alright, actually with a range of four hundred kilometers, perhaps the density of these permanent teleportation channels isn't very high. After all, in many countries, this is already the size of a province. In a province, the opening of this number of permanent teleportation channels with thousands of Awakeners is already considered scarce.

Speaking of the population issue, Zhang Yanhang suddenly remembered that Qin Island City also seemed to have a population of twenty million, and Niger also had a population of twenty million. If Qin Island City has twenty-thousand Awakeners, where did Niger's Awakeners go? Did they all die in the Ashen World?

From the information he had learned in the past, Zhang Yanhang remembered that the Awakeners on this side of Africa definitely did not have the Limitless Universe Skill for cultivation, and at most, they could practice some local indigenous Meditation Methods. Therefore, it was naturally very normal for their overall strength to be weaker than that of the Empire Awakened, which would also lead to a greatly increased mortality rate in the Ashen World.

Additionally, Zhang Yanhang felt that another likely cause of death for some Awakeners was the monster invasions in their cities, where they perished in the process of fighting the monsters. After all, there were barely any survivors in Niger now.

Furthermore, Zhang Yanhang thought that many Awakeners should have joined the military or the rebels, all stationed together in large troops, which explains why none are seen outside.

As for the remaining Awakeners, Zhang Yanhang believed that fleeing to other more stable countries was also possible, since Awakeners are sought after and considered elites wherever they go. No matter where they seek refuge, they won't lack acceptance, unlike ordinary refugees who are treated as burdens and receive entirely different treatment.

This is much like the time before the Spiritual Qi Recovery, when wealthy people were welcomed wherever they went and could immigrate casually to obtain green cards, while ordinary people struggled to immigrate despite working diligently, yet couldn't even easily get a work visa. Once their visa expired, they were promptly deported back. It's a pure exploitation of human resources.

Zhang Yanhang thought that the aforementioned four types of Awakeners' death or escape channels, along with some other minor branching paths, might explain why he hardly saw any survivors or Awakeners along his journey to here.

As for why he felt that many Awakeners joined the government army and the rebels, it was naturally because he indeed saw quite a few Awakeners in the rebel forces earlier. Even with only four to five hundred people, the proportion of Awakeners accounted for at least one-tenth, around fifty people. This serves as strong evidence of the army recruiting Awakeners.

Of course, at this point, Zhang Yanhang felt that he should perhaps focus more energy on the Third Tier Permanent Teleportation Channel before him, rather than being concerned with the life and death of Niger's Awakeners.

After casually making a choice and scanning the surrounding environment during a Time Pause, Zhang Yanhang discovered that there are at least twenty thousand monsters at the Third Tier Permanent Teleportation Channel before him. This scale is indeed quite large, almost similar to the Fifth Tier Christmas Teleportation Channel Zhang Yanhang cleared last time.

Well, perhaps it's not that this Third Tier Permanent Teleportation Channel is large, but that the Fifth Tier Christmas Teleportation Channel he cleared earlier was too small. Normally speaking, even the Umbrella Biochemical Test Field he just cleared had nearly ten thousand monsters even without amplification, while the Christmas Permanent Teleportation Channel only had twenty thousand monsters after a tenfold increase.

This only indicates that the original Christmas Permanent Teleportation Channel had too few monsters, even just twenty thousand prior to amplification, basically similar to the number of monsters in the Third Tier Area's Demonized Swamp that Zhang Yanhang cleared before, which indeed is somewhat embarrassing for a Fifth Tier Teleportation Channel.

Therefore, Zhang Yanhang always felt that the Christmas Permanent Teleportation Channel was a micro-region among Fifth Tiers.

Of course, even now, Zhang Yanhang doesn't despise such micro-regions, but unfortunately, he no longer has the opportunity to clear them. It's quite humorous that he can't find any Fifth Tier Teleportation Channels to clear and can only reluctantly clear some low-level teleportation channels to scrape up some Soul points.

After observing the Third Tier Teleportation Channel before him, Zhang Yanhang confirmed it's likely a desert series permanent teleportation channel coming from the Land of Slumber, just like the previous desert permanent teleportation channels.

Because, inside, Zhang Yanhang saw very familiar worm-type monsters, except the Desert Giant Worm, which used to be a Lord Monster, had now seemingly become small monsters in this Third Tier Area, receiving the same treatment as the earlier First Tier Spider Lord Monster.

Even the earlier First Tier Spider Monster had no chance to appear in this Third Tier Permanent Teleportation Channel, as even the weakest in this area are Second-tier One-star Monsters.

But possibly due to a high proportion of worm-type monsters among Second-tier Monsters, Zhang Yanhang discovered that the Third Tier Lord Monster in this Third Tier Permanent Teleportation Channel was also a worm-type monster, just much larger than ordinary Giant Worms.

Moreover, since it's a Third Tier Permanent Teleportation Channel, the monster distribution range is also much broader than before, now covering an area of several thousand square kilometers, making it not so easy for Zhang Yanhang to clear.

Luckily, Zhang Yanhang now is much more powerful; he can maintain a Movement Speed of 145 Mach even in a normal state, and with Spiritual Qi Blessing, it can reach 290 Mach.

Previously, he flew all the way here and cleared other permanent teleportation channels without using Spiritual Qi Blessing, but now facing this Third Tier Permanent Teleportation Channel spanning several thousand square kilometers, Zhang Yanhang felt the need to be a little more serious, otherwise clearing it might become quite tedious.

After achieving a Movement Speed of 290 Mach with Spiritual Qi Blessing, Zhang Yanhang found his hunting efficiency indeed greatly improved, capable of clearing several dozen square kilometers per second. He received kill notification messages exceeding four digits every second, continuously flooding into his brain.

[Successfully killed Second-tier One-star Monster 'Desert Corrosive Poison Worm (Elite)' ×1, Soul points +60.]

[Successfully killed Second Tier Two Star Monster 'Desert Death Worm (Elite)' ×1, Soul points +105.]

[Successfully killed Second Tier Three Star Monster 'Desert Giant Sacred Beetle (Elite)' ×1, Soul points +175.]

[Successfully killed Third Tier One-star Monster 'Desert Giant Spiky Sacred Beetle (Normal)' ×1, Soul points +320.]

......

Zhang Yanhang estimated that this Third Tier Permanent Teleportation Channel could provide him with at least eight-digit Soul points, which is also his motivation for clearing this telepor--tation channel. After all, he is not truly here to aid those in distress.
