October 31st, Saturday, the sixth day after the Double Ninth Festival, and also the second day since Zhang Yanhang left the Ashen World. It was eight in the morning, Main World, Greenland, Capital Region, Nuuk (Gothob), outskirts, Jensen Mountain.

Zhang Yanhang eventually returned to Greenland, back to this familiar territory. He casually made a decision on whether to step with the left foot or the right first, which triggered a Time Pause, and quickly located the position of the Transmission Channel under the paused time.

The Transmission Channel related to the Bloody Reindeer was situated more towards the central region. According to his subsequent measurements, the monsters emerging from this unknown but obviously 'Christmas'-related Permanent Teleportation Channel were active in an area of approximately 60,000 square kilometers, with a diameter of about two hundred kilometers.

This area is roughly equivalent to five Qin Island Cities or one Ningxia, or about half of South Korea, after all, the total area of South Korea is only 100,000 square kilometers.

"I didn't expect the coverage range to be 60,000 square kilometers, it's really much larger than I imagined."

Zhang Yanhang originally thought that the monsters around this Transmission Channel could spread over ten thousand square kilometers, which would already be large enough like Qin Island City, but he didn't expect it to be five times larger than Qin Island.

"However, correspondingly, the number of monsters is also quite large, at least over 200,000, and among them, the weakest are these Bloody Reindeers, which are Third Tier One-star Monsters worth 300 Soul points. If this round doesn't net me several million Soul points, it would be completely unreasonable."

Zhang Yanhang estimated that if he could manage to eliminate all the monsters coming out of this Christmas Transmission Channel, he could at least acquire enough Soul points to upgrade three skills.

"Two hundred thousand monsters spread over 60,000 square kilometers, that means there are just three to four monsters per square kilometer, which indeed aligns with Greenland's vast area and sparse population characteristics."

Zhang Yanhang quickly began clearing out the monsters after a brief contemplation.

Since it was about eradicating monsters from the Permanent Teleportation Channel, he didn't make any plans, but simply picked a direction and started the massacre. Once he ended up in an area with no more monsters, he'd switch to another direction, this straightforward and brutal method worked well for him, as long as he didn't miss out on any treasure boxes inadvertently.

Not far from Zhang Yanhang was a new kind of monster he hadn't slain before. It looked like a snowman but had a pair of blood-red deformed ghost claws.

Clearly, the snowman itself was just about one or two meters tall, but these blood claws extended to a length of three or four meters, looking extremely mismatched. Moreover, its eyes revealed visible madness and the gaping bloody maw displayed uneven but blood-streaked sharp fangs, definitely frightening enough to scare children to tears.

But this had nothing to do with Zhang Yanhang, no matter how strange the enemies looked, it only took one punch for him to settle things.

Zhang Yanhang unleashed a punch, accompanied by a massive sonic boom, sending forth an invisible and transparent Air Bomb, the surrounding shock wave lifting the ground's snow and making the eternally Frozen land of Greenland, frozen for centuries, ripple like mud under layers of waves.

Bang!

That nameless peculiar snowman got dispersed on the spot by merely being grazed by the edge of the Air Bomb's shock wave, while its ice-snow fabricated body shell and its internal miscellaneous heated organs and intestinal tissues didn't get far before they too got swept along with the Air Bomb, hurtling further into the distance.

The Air Bomb erupted explosively several kilometers out, the long-frozen ground finally sensing a warmth and moisture not felt for billions of years.

Snow swiftly melted by the massive heat from the shock wave's high-speed friction with the air mingled into the icy soil underneath. Hundreds of millions of tons of frozen soil mixed with rocks soared skywards, reaching up to hundreds of meters in altitude.

Then seconds later, gravity dragged everything back down with a booming thud, creating massive collision sounds. Simultaneously, the ground transmitted vibrations from the impact, resonating continuously like a minor earthquake, gradually spreading outwards.

But shaking earth or fragmented land had nothing to do with Zhang Yanhang; he only cared about how many monsters he had just killed.

[Successfully killed Third Tier Two-star Monster 'Evil Snowman (ordinary)' ×1, Soul points +630.]

[Successfully killed Third Tier Two-star Monster 'Evil Snowman (ordinary)' ×1, Soul points +630.]

[Successfully killed Third Tier One-star Monster 'Bloody Reindeer (ordinary)' ×1, Soul points +300.]

...

"An ordinary Third Tier Two-star monster Evil Snowman? It's worth 630 Soul points, roughly the strength as the Crimson Iron Hell Ant I slew earlier, not bad."

According to Zhang Yanhang's previous scans, there were at least tens of thousands of these Third Tier Two-star Evil Snowmen in the surrounding area. Killing them all could supply him with no less than tens of millions of Soul points.

Zhang Yanhang carefully reviewed the previous kill notifications, realizing that although his earlier punch looked impressive, it actually only killed less than ten monsters.

No way around it, the monster density around was simply too low, and it included only Third Tier One-star Bloody Reindeers and Third Tier Two-star Evil Snowmen, not counting any other monsters in his kills.

Looking at the thoroughly upturned ground in front of him, Zhang Yanhang couldn't help but sigh.

Of course, he didn't really care about so-called environmental damage; what truly concerned him was that the monster corpses were practically nonexistent, either ground to pieces or buried deep in the soil among clumps of earth, making retrieval cumbersome.

"I initially thought about devouring some monster corpses here since they, especially from Third Tier and Fourth Tier monsters, must contain energy far surpassing saline water or those nutrient-deficient sands, perhaps absorbing them would be quicker.

But facing this situation, it seems like obtaining the corpses would be quite challenging."

It was somewhat frustrating for Zhang Yanhang in this regard.

"Although they refresh quickly in the Ashen World, after all, it is 200,000 monsters we are talking about, quantity leads to quality eventually, I'll still have to find a way to get a taste."

Whether there's any nutritional value, Zhang Yanhang had to taste to find out.

"Next, let's continue monster hunting." Zhang Yanhang said as he flew towards the distance.

......

October 31, Saturday, the sixth day after the Double Ninth Festival, and the second day after Zhang Yanhang left the Ashen World. It was 8:51 AM Main World, Greenland, Kargone Hill Zone.

[Successfully killed Third Tier One-star Monster 'Bloody Reindeer (Ordinary)' ×1, Soul Points +300.]

...

After punching and crushing a small mountain and simultaneously killing over a dozen gathered Bloody Reindeers, Zhang Yanhang saw from afar two enormous blood-red chainsaws, constantly emitting a buzzing sound, flying towards him. The chainsaws were at least a dozen meters long and were unmanned.

Of course, saying they're unmanned is not entirely accurate, as it just means nobody is holding them. Based on Zhang Yanhang's scan results, a floating, peculiar Gingerbread Man in the distance seemed to be controlling these two gigantic chainsaws from afar.

The Gingerbread Man was about a meter tall, not very large, but it appeared very dark, probably chocolate flavored... no, maybe it's a blackened demon Gingerbread Man.

But whether it's a blackened demon Gingerbread Man or a chocolate Gingerbread Man, Zhang Yanhang would soon find out once he had a taste.

The saw chain on the blood-red chainsaw was rotating furiously and lunging straight at Zhang Yanhang, seemingly planning to saw him vertically from top to bottom.

However, when it actually landed on the Energy Shield above Zhang Yanhang's head, sparks flew wildly from the chainsaw, creating quite a spectacle, but the only damage incurred was the gradual creation of gaps in the chains, with not even a ripple in the Energy Shield.

In the past, when Zhang Yanhang faced attacks from such obviously Late Third Tier monsters, he certainly would have lost some Shield Value, but now it's different.

He had already promoted to the Fourth Tier, and during the third adventure last night, he additionally consumed a Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures that enhanced his defensive power, not to mention Late Third Tier. An attack from a Fourth Tier Late Stage monster without Skills might not even affect his Shield Value.

After all, in terms of Attribute values, he was already a Peak Fourth Tier Awakener, and that kind of status naturally demanded significance, and there was plenty of it.

Zhang Yanhang used two fingers to gently catch the blood-red chainsaw. Once its motion was hindered, the saw chain immediately snapped, becoming unable to continue rotating. He carefully picked up the blood-red chainsaw to avoid accidentally breaking it.

But while he picked it up, when he threw it, the handle of the chainsaw was still snapped off by Zhang Yanhang. It's worth mentioning that weapons used by Third Tier enemies, especially those refreshed alongside the enemy itself, aren't as high-quality as those found in Treasure boxes.

The thrown chainsaw spun around like a fan with only one blade, flying toward the blackened Gingerbread Man. Despite the saw chain being snapped, the remaining saw face still easily sliced through the blackened Gingerbread Man's body.

But, due to some peculiar trait, the Gingerbread Man whose body was sliced in half didn't bleed at all at the wound and seemed to struggle desperately to reform its severed body.

The chainsaw, continuing its circular motion, soon drove its thick motor directly into the already sliced body of the blackened Gingerbread Man, immediately breaking it into pieces, slowly drifting from the sky like Christmas gifts.

With no more control, the other enormous blood-red chainsaw attempting to horizontally cut through the Energy Shield behind Zhang Yanhang was powerless and crashed to the ground with a bang, like a large piece of scrap iron, splashing snow everywhere.

[Successfully killed Third Tier Three-star Monster 'Electric Chainsaw Gingerbread Man (Ordinary)' ×1, Soul Points +1050.]

"This Gingerbread Man is only a Third Tier Three-star? And an Ordinary Monster?"

Zhang Yanhang previously felt the attack strength of this Electric Chainsaw Gingerbread Man and thought it might be a Third Tier Four-star Monster, but now it seemed he might have overestimated it.

The reason for the overestimation could be attributed to the fact that monsters holding weapons are sometimes indeed stronger than those unarmed, especially in the humanoid monster category.

"Speaking of which, I remember encountering a Third Tier Three-star Molten Crystal Giant near the volcano Transmission Channel, valued at eleven hundred Soul Points. I didn't expect this Electric Chainsaw Gingerbread Man to be even slightly weaker than the Molten Crystal Giant?

Well, it's understandable since this Electric Chainsaw Gingerbread Man is clearly a fragile long-range output, while the Molten Crystal Giant has strong defenses, can fight, withstand attacks, and possesses commendable resistance to Energy attacks, also having long-range Skills and using flame attacks on enemies, stronger than the Gingerbread Man by far."

Thinking this way, Zhang Yanhang gradually understood why the Electric Chainsaw Gingerbread Man was worth fifty fewer Soul Points than the Molten Crystal Giant.

But ultimately, it's just fifty fewer Soul Points; overall, the difference isn't that significant. After all, although the Gingerbread Man never had a chance to demonstrate, it appeared capable of strong recovery.

In the past fifty minutes, Zhang Yanhang had cleared over ten thousand square kilometers of area. As for why it was so fast, it can only be said there was no need to collect Treasure boxes or worry about anything else, simply killing everything in sight allowed that speed.

And this mainly because there weren't many monsters here. Additionally, the movement speed he achieved after upgrading to the Fourth Tier was exceptionally fast, achieving the current result.

Considering there were only three to four monsters per square kilometer, it was certainly more convenient to kill them.

Also, previously while Zhang Yanhang hunted monsters in the Ashen World, he was worried about Energy Value consumption and was generally reluctant to use Spiritual Qi Blessing to enhance his Movement Speed.

But now it's different. He can recover twenty-two Energy Value points per second, so Spiritual Qi Blessing can be used freely without worrying about energy scarcity.
