John and Thuvan traverse the carrion caves and make it through to the land of the yellow men of the north. They immediately rescue a lone traveler from an ambush and he agrees to help them. They are taken to the domed city of Okar where the Jeddik of Marentina disguises John as a yellow man so he can continue his pursuit of Shang. John and Thuvan join a hunting party heading to the city of Kadabra and witness the effects of a giant magnetic tower protecting the city that causes all airships to crash. The hunters see through John's disguise and he and Thuvan are captured.
