Chapter 4977

After settling the others, Kai’s figure vanished in an instant.

Freed from Niu Ben’s burden, Kai moved swiftly into the depths of the mountains. His speed increased dramatically, leaving only a blur in his wake.

As he ventured deeper into the mountain range, two cities soon appeared before him!

These two cities stretched across the width of the mountains, completely blocking the path forward.

Only a narrow passage existed between them.

They stood like twin gates.

Seeing this, Kai became even more convinced that the small city atop the mountain was anything but ordinary—someone powerful must be residing there!

Even the main city governed by Jie Zhong didn’t have dual cities flanking it for defense. These newly revealed cities had clearly been stationed to guard the seemingly insignificant mountaintop city!

Large numbers of soldiers were stationed atop both cities, and each city gate was equipped with a massive circular disc. Kai couldn’t determine their exact function…

But it was clear—the scale and strength of these cities far exceeded the others he had seen.

Worse yet, there was no way around them to reach the mountain’s summit.

Patrolling soldiers filled the area above both cities, and the security was incredibly tight.

After observing quietly for a while, Kai retreated in silence.

“How is it? Can we cross the mountains and reach the other beast tribe territories?”

Seeing him return, Bai Yi questioned anxiously.

Kai shook his head with a serious expression.
“There are two cities blocking the path ahead. We’ll have to break through.”

“Brother, can’t we just go around?”
Fengxian asked.

“No, we must break through. If we turn back now, we’re bound to run into pursuers,”
Kai replied firmly.

“Xiansheng, what’s the scale of those cities? Is it even possible to break through them?”
Bai Yi asked, worried.

“It won’t be easy. There must be tens of thousands of soldiers stationed there.”

“Our only hope is that their communication isn’t synchronized. If we’re lucky, we might slip through.”
Kai said.
After all, they were all beastmen, so it wasn’t unusual for them to pass in and out of city gates.

However, Kai worried that Jie Zhong had already relayed their presence here. If that were true, they might be recognized the moment they appeared.

“Let’s give it a try—be ready to fight,”
Bai Yi said with a nod.

The four of them walked toward the twin cities. When they reached the base of the city walls, they saw numerous soldiers stationed atop the gates, each wearing a stern expression, exuding a cold, intimidating aura.

Kai took a deep breath and stepped forward toward the city gate.

“Halt!”

A squad of soldiers blocked Kai and his companions. One of them barked coldly,
“Where are you from?”

“We’re from the main city and came to visit some friends,”
Kai replied, pulling out a pouch of fairy coins, attempting to bribe the squad captain.

After all, this tactic had always worked in the secular world—who didn’t love money?

But to his surprise, as soon as Kai presented the fairy coins, the captain’s expression darkened.

“Who are you? Surround them!”
he ordered.

Clatter…

In an instant, soldiers encircled Kai and his team.

Kai was momentarily stunned. He didn’t understand why the captain reacted this way—was it because the bribe wasn’t large enough?

“Is it not enough? I still have more. Share it with your brothers…”
Kai said, pulling out another pouch of fairy coins.

This time, the captain’s face turned even colder.

“Are you trying to insult me? You’re clearly not from Feihu City. Who are you really?”
he snapped, drawing his weapon.

“Brother, bribery isn’t how things work in our beast tribe. You’re basically slapping him in the face with that.”
The Crazy Immortal said, shaking his head at Kai’s attempt.
