Previously, Zhang Yanhang thought that if there were enough Third Tier Permanent Teleportation Channels to clean up consecutively, it would still require the most ideal conditions to achieve this. However, amusingly, Niger simply doesn't have that many Third Tier Permanent Teleportation Channels for him to clean. Fortunately, he managed to achieve this with the Fourth Tier Permanent Teleportation Channel.

Of course, it was just briefly achieved, as he could finish cleaning in at most twenty minutes, so it's not long-lasting enough.

Tens of thousands of various monsters surged towards Zhang Yanhang like a tidal wave, but as soon as they approached him, they fell to the ground like mosquitoes sprayed with insecticide, quickly crashing down onto the sand dunes, scattering large amounts of sand.

...

While continuously clearing the area, Zhang Yanhang also encountered a new type of monster named Desert Giant Spiky Beetle. This creature resembled a sacred beetle but was different, more like a cross between a longhorn beetle and a sacred beetle, with a back covered in dense spikes.

Moreover, compared to other spiky series monsters, the spikes on this creature's back shell could be launched directly like missiles, with certain homing abilities, and could fire dozens of spikes at a time.

Additionally, these creatures fought in groups, and whenever they fired spikes, Zhang Yanhang felt like he was facing a dense barrage of arrows. The black spikes, which were as thick as a human thigh for ordinary people, were as thin as needles to him, covering him extensively.

Given that a single entity had the firepower density of a rocket cluster, Zhang Yanhang felt that Niamey's destruction was not unjust. It's likely that most of the Awakeners here were pierced into sieves.

But against Zhang Yanhang, such attacks were clearly ineffective, as they lacked any armor penetration ability, true damage or fixed damage skills. The spiky shooting merely made a series of 'puff puff' noises when hitting Zhang Yanhang's Energy Shield, without causing any other effects.

After gradually advancing deeper into the desert area, Zhang Yanhang finally encountered the Fourth Tier monster at the core area of this Fourth Tier Permanent Teleportation Channel.

It was a locust-like monster similar to the previous Desert Spiny Locust, but as a Fourth Tier monster, it was much larger, at least a dozen meters long, and its rear end glowed like a firefly, flashing red whenever it approached him.

Initially, Zhang Yanhang didn't know what this meant. He thought it was just fancy LED taillights until he deliberately allowed the Fourth Tier Desert Locusts to get closer once, and the locusts immediately started self-destructing.

Of course, it wasn't entirely self-destruction— or rather, the self-destruction method was novel. The Fourth Tier Desert Locusts would eject their cylindrical rear ends, then bombard Zhang Yanhang like intercontinental ballistic missiles.

Amid the continuous booming noises and soaring flames, Zhang Yanhang's curiosity was finally satisfied. Luckily, these Fourth Tier Desert Locusts still lacked any armor penetration abilities, so Zhang Yanhang's Shield Value wasn't compromised by this missile barrage.

...

"Does launching their own rear count as spiky shooting? Luckily, the Soul points value is high enough."

Zhang Yanhang recalled that the Kulunzo Magnetic Energy Heavy Tank he destroyed at the Umbrella Biochemical Test Field only valued at twenty-eight hundred Soul points.

Of course, this is related to the Kulunzo Magnetic Energy Heavy Tank itself being rather inferior, just a defectively designed product by Krees. But the later Omida Electromagnetic Railgun was much stronger, representing Krees' true design capabilities.

After clearing most of the monsters in the desert area, Zhang Yanhang finally reached the core section of this Fourth Tier Permanent Teleportation Channel, located in Niamey.

According to the information that Zhang Yanhang deduced from the ruins' distribution, this Fourth Tier Permanent Teleportation Channel appeared directly inside Niamey, specifically in a slum area, making it impossible to defend in time.

After all, a country like Niger wouldn't possess the Empire's advanced space technology, which uses array plates to create parallel spaces to limit enemy invasions. They could only hold out, and the result of holding out is Niamey's current status— no survivors.

Moreover, it's clear that Niger couldn't possibly have a Fifth Tier Awakener. Even in the Empire, Fifth Tier Awakeners are rare. For a city like Qin Island City with the same twenty million population as Niger, apart from the white-bearded Taoist in the Lao Mountain Taoist Temple, the only Fifth Tier Awakener is the group leader who just recently promoted to the Fifth Tier.

Even a genius of the group leader's caliber just recently advanced, so how could Niger, which had been doomed for at least a week or half a month, have any Fifth Tier Awakeners?

Therefore, the remaining low-level or same tier Awakeners naturally found it hard to resist such a permanent transmission channel invasion.

Of course, what mainly convinced Zhang Yanhang that there were truly no survivors in Niamey was that he sensed a kind of space locking ability from one of the Fourth Tier monsters. With such monsters present, teleportation for escape was strictly prohibited.

But thanks to the Hundred Taboos, Zhang Yanhang directly ignored this ability, so he could only sense the space locking, unsure if it also locked or weakened other aspects.

Regardless, with this space locking ability combined with spiky shooting, it indeed forms a very effective combo, making spiky shooting much more likely to hit the target.

It was a long-lost type of spider monster, capable of using its eight compound eyes to release a wave-like skill. As long as you're under their gaze or within the wave's coverage area, spatial teleportation becomes impossible. Then they seize the chance to repeatedly shoot thick spikes from their abdomens to attack the enemy.

However, Zhang Yanhang felt that this ability, similar to a magic eye, might also have some negative effects that weaken mobility, as well as some special curse effects. Yet, under the dual influence of the Hundred Taboos and Supreme Will, he couldn't quite feel these effects.

Moreover, these monsters were forcibly refreshed, and he couldn't examine the skill effects from the attribute list in detail. Thus, Zhang Yanhang could only vaguely speculate about their skill effects.

...

However, when it comes down to it, although it possesses space locking abilities, the inability to fly still makes the Soul point value of the Desert Giant Spiny Spider not too high.

"I remember that the Fourth Tier Two-star monster Kulunzo Electromagnetic Railgun I dealt with at the Umbrella Biochemical Test Field was worth seven thousand soul points. After all, the Electromagnetic Railgun not only flies but also combines attacks, naturally having a much higher strength than these Desert Giant Spiny Spiders."

While Zhang Yanhang was assessing the Soul point value of these Desert Giant Spiny Spiders, a lord monster that had been originally guarding near the Fourth Tier Permanent Transmission Channel flew towards Zhang Yanhang's direction.

Perhaps because of the abundance of desert locusts in this desert region, this time, the lord monster of the Fourth Tier Permanent Transmission Channel was also a locust.

It even possessed the self-destruct ability of those Fourth Tier Desert Locusts from before, madly firing red glowing missile-like cylindrical butts at Zhang Yanhang from a distance.

Of course, we might refer to that part as the abdomen since insects only have a head, thorax, and abdomen, and no buttocks. In reality, these desert locusts were launching their abdomen, which is everything below the thorax, leaving only their head and thorax, together comprising less than a third of the original length.

This is precisely why Zhang Yanhang calls it a self-destruction attack—once this skill is executed, it's akin to a human having everything below their heart amputated, with organs, tissues, and half the spine used as bombs.

Honestly, Zhang Yanhang didn't like this skill much—not because of the damage; that was irrelevant—but mainly because it reduces the energy obtainable from the corpse. The abdomen blew up into shredded meat that couldn't be recovered.

Therefore, he usually opted to quickly kill these Desert Locusts to prevent their self-destruction. Yet the lord monsters' self-destructing was too fast, and even from afar, he had no chance to stop it.

So before Zhang Yanhang could react, these lord monsters simply killed themselves.

Fortunately, the kill prompt still judged it as a valid kill and granted him the soul points as usual.

...

"Madness Worm? Indeed, quite mad. Just a glance, and before I could do anything, it killed itself with self-destruct."

As Zhang Yanhang received the kill notification, the suicide attack launched by these lord monsters finally arrived at his side 'after firing first', accompanied by intense explosions, large amounts of high-temperature flames began fiercely burning around him. Simultaneously, violent shockwaves rapidly dispersed in all directions.

Soon, a massive gray-black mushroom cloud rose up. Standing in the center of the explosion, Zhang Yanhang strangely felt a familiar sensation akin to experiencing a nuclear blast. But unlike a nuclear blast, this suicidal attack lacked the characteristic glow radiation, various high-energy and nuclear radiations, including gamma rays.

Yet he couldn't deny that this inexplicable suicidal attack perfectly aligned with Zhang Yanhang's stereotypical impression of the local Peace Sect in Niger.

He even suspected that perhaps besides the desert, this similarly inexplicable suicidal attack was also one of the reasons the desert permanent teleportation channel connected to Niamey.

Of course, the reckless childbearing also fits Zhang Yanhang's stereotype of the local Peace Sect in Niger. In an Africa abundant with Christianity and Shamanism, he felt that perhaps it was precisely Niger's faith in the Peace Sect that made its birth rate the highest in the world.

Zhang Yanhang knew little about the Peace Sect; he only knew that whenever he went to a Lanzhou noodle shop, the owner had at least two or three children. So he guessed the teachings of the Peace Sect must have something in this regard.

"Although the Madness Worm is indeed mad, its soul point value is quite high—just one provides ninety thousand soul points, and ten add up to nine hundred thousand soul points."

But the only pity is that these lord monsters can't drop treasure boxes; otherwise, with a tenfold increase from the box, he could earn eight-digit soul points from these lord monsters.

Although the lord monsters were dead, many other monsters remained. Thus, Zhang Yanhang quickly started clearing them again. Yes, this time, the lord monsters didn't die last, given they self-destructed so quickly, leaving Zhang Yanhang no chance to kill them last.

Fortunately, the remaining monsters weren't many, and Zhang Yanhang estimated he'd clean them up in a few minutes. Well, that might not be such a good thing, after all.
