The entire camp, which had already been devastated, was permeated with an unbearable stench. In the high temperatures of the desert, even a corpse would quickly decompose after only a short time.
The warriors from Cloud Summit and the people of Haman Dan were cleaning up the battlefield, and the atmosphere was slightly somber.
Anyone seeing so many dead bodies of their kind would likely not feel too good.
An hour ago, that mutated beetle that had suddenly emerged from the ground took away Haji and the Star Spirit on his shoulder.
Both Haman Dan and Ye Zhongming were feeling downcast.
After exterminating the sand-type monsters in the camp, there were attempts to dig and search the area, but besides sand, there was nothing else.
These sand-type monsters seemed to have a natural ability to move within the sand.
Having been in West Asia for two days, things weren't going well at all. Ye Zhongming's displeasure was evident on his face, which made Haman Dan somewhat anxious. After all, his current interests were tied to Ye Zhongming; the gifts had already been given, and now he had nothing, making him even more worried.
Thus, Haman Dan made a suggestion.
“Go to the Holy City?”
Ye Zhongming's eyes flashed as he repeated the phrase.
“Yes,” Haman Dan seemed to have made a resolution, “We can go to the Holy City because Jannadrah is there!”
Haman Dan didn't notice that Ye Zhongming's hand trembled slightly at the mention of that name.
Ye Zhongming had never met this person, but he had heard of him.
In his past life, besides the nine-star evolvers from the China district, there were indeed nine-star evolvers in other parts of the world. Communication was limited across the ocean to America, and only the higher-ups likely knew much about it. However, among the countries on the same continent, some particularly famous ordinary evolvers were known.
For instance, this Jannadrah.
When Haman Dan spoke his name, Ye Zhongming understood his intentions.
Jannadrah, the stellar prophet!
A name that resonated like thunder in his past life.
In Ye Zhongming's memory, this person was one of the few who could emerge victorious after clashing with a nine-star evolver from China.
This may sound simple, but very few people could achieve it.
After all, China, as the most populous country with vast territories, had many mutated beings, which meant a higher number of nine-star evolvers and more resources to occupy, giving them an advantage in conflicts with other countries.
However, Ye Zhongming recalled that there was a nine-star evolver from China whose territory was close to West Asia, and he had once fought against Jannadrah. Although neither had killed the other, it was said that the initiative was held by the West Asian.
In his past life, this guy was a nine-star evolver.
A nine-star evolver with bizarre abilities.
According to rumors, during that battle, Jannadrah did not defeat the Chinese nine-star evolver through brute strength but used unexpected abilities.
Later, the news gradually trickled in, and Ye Zhongming learned that this person possessed the cunning and mysterious profession of a stellar prophet.
He wasn't sure what specific skills this profession had, but it could be inferred from the name that it likely involved anticipating enemies or predicting outcomes.
Now that Haman Dan proposed to find this person, it was likely to utilize Jannadrah's abilities to locate the Star Spirit.
As for the Holy City, Ye Zhongming had heard of it. In the past life, there were only two sizable cities in the West Asia Zone: one was the Holy City, and the other was the Divine City, established by another set of religious followers.
Perhaps only faith could empower survivors to unleash superhuman perseverance in such lands, leading to the establishment of cities deemed divine or holy.
“I don’t have much time.”
Although he didn’t know where the Holy City was, Ye Zhongming had little time to spare. The fighting at the Posthumous Child King City might erupt at any moment, and he needed to return before it began. Traveling long distances to the Holy City across the vast land of West Asia was simply not feasible due to external conditions.
