I Am Unaware That I Am the Peerless Martial God Chapter 1249: Seizing the Opportunity

"Look! Someone is over there..." Cheng Yuxun cried out.

Lin Ruowei was struggling to haul heavy ore when the shout reached her, but she barely reacted—finding people in this place was far from a rarity.

However, the maid standing beside her also became motionless, her eyes fixed on the horizon.

"Young Mistress, there truly is someone flying this way! He is riding a snail... it looks just like that man!"

That man?

Him?

Filled with doubt, she shifted her attention to follow their line of sight.

With just one look—

Lin Ruowei found herself frozen in place by the shock!

After several seconds of staring with wide eyes, a mix of pure disbelief and joy flickered within her clear gaze.

"It is him?!"

"The expert who engaged in battle on the ancient ship that day!"

The suspicions of the captain and the maid were instantly validated, their eyes shimmering with intense excitement.

"It really is him!"

"To think he managed to traverse the vast ocean entirely alone—how truly remarkable!"

As they watched Yi Feng approach at a relaxed pace atop his snail, the three were overwhelmed with emotion, feeling as though they were meeting a dear friend in a foreign land. A surge of long-suppressed hope and thrill ignited in their eyes!

What excited them the most, however, was the fact that this newcomer remained well outside the guarded perimeter of the mining camp.

This meant he had not yet been taken prisoner.

If they could somehow convince him to deliver a message, it would be their greatest opportunity for salvation.

Lin Ruowei watched the distance with a tense expression, her voice trembling slightly.

"This... this fellow cultivator has crossed the sea and appeared right before us. This must be the work of fate—heaven truly never closes every path."

"Even if he cannot defeat the Black Dragon Divine Guards, simply getting word of our location out to the world could save us!"

Cheng Yuxun tightened his fists, nodding his head with fervor.

"Exactly!"

"He is an outsider just like us, which makes him trustworthy. With his level of power, he will certainly manage to deliver the message and facilitate our escape!"

Their happiness was fleeting, however. Within moments, their expressions turned grim.

In their field of vision—

Yi Feng was still drifting forward lazily, completely unaware of the looming danger, looking for all the world like a man out for a casual stroll.

And now, he was on the verge of entering the mining territory!

Their heaven-sent savior was seconds away from walking straight into the enemy's grasp!

Cheng Yuxun's face went pale as he stamped his foot in a fit of desperation.

"Disaster!"

"That brother has no idea how perilous this place is—he is still moving forward! What are we supposed to do?!"

He turned around to find Lin Ruowei looking equally panicked.

"It is over..."

"With our Cultivation sealed, there is no way to shout a warning to him. If he keeps coming, our final hope will vanish!"

The moment he stepped inside, Yi Feng would be spotted and forced to share their miserable fate, destroying any chance of a rescue.

Lin Ruowei felt her desperation reaching a breaking point.

She scanned the surroundings and, seeing no sentries nearby, she grit her teeth with resolve.

"We have no choice but to risk signaling him to halt. Even if the guards seize us for it, we have to try!"

Her determination left Cheng Yuxun stunned.

Despite being a woman, she possessed a decisiveness that could match any veteran leader!

In this critical moment, it really was their only path forward.

Exchanging a look of grim resolve, they both nodded.

Lin Ruowei scrambled onto a cart and began waving her arms frantically toward the distance—a silent but desperate warning.

Cheng Yuxun and Yu'er joined in immediately, waving with everything they had.

A short distance away—

Yi Feng sat swaying on his snail, letting out a heavy, somber sigh.

After days of "hunting" at sea—collecting enough fish to last several lifetimes—he had become thoroughly bored. He had anticipated that arriving in the legendary Fallen God Realm would provide some much-needed excitement.

Instead, he found himself in a barren wasteland without a single trace of adventure to be found!

Had he perhaps gone the wrong way?

Just as he began to doubt his direction, he noticed several figures waving at the foot of a mountain.

Squinting his eyes—

A man covered in dust and two women were gesturing wildly at him, looking like people trying to flag down a ride.

Baffled, Yi Feng took a closer look.

The three were filthy, their faces blackened like coal miners. Yet, they looked strangely familiar...

As he drew closer, he finally recognized the man—it was the captain from the ship!

Well, look at that.

What a coincidence to run into acquaintances in a place like this.

It made sense why they were waving so urgently.

Perhaps they had some useful information to share with him.

Feeling encouraged, Yi Feng hurried his snail forward.

"Whoosh!"

In the blink of an eye, he arrived before them, hopping down and performing a polite fist-palm salute.

"You were waving quite enthusiastically! It has been a long time."

And yet—

His greeting received no reply. The trio remained frozen, their arms still raised in mid-wave, staring at him like statues.

After all that frantic signaling, had they suddenly malfunctioned?

Yi Feng scratched his head, completely lost.

Meanwhile, Lin Ruowei’s heart sank from the heights of hope into the depths of despair.

Their last shred of hope had just turned to ash.

Who could have anticipated that his snail possessed such incredible speed? In a mere instant, he had crossed into the mining zone—sealing the doom of everyone present.

Following a heavy silence—

Yu'er collapsed weakly to the ground.

Lin Ruowei’s expression twisted with intense guilt as she forced herself into a stiff bow.

"Fellow cultivator..."

The sight of their shattered faces only made Yi Feng more confused.

"What is the matter? You signaled for me to come over, but now you have nothing to say?"

His question caused Lin Ruowei to flinch.

Her own actions had tragically lured him into a trap!

In her attempt to be "clever," she had destroyed their only prospect of escape.

Filled with shame, she lowered her head even further.

"Please, forgive me!"

"My thoughtless actions have doomed you as well!"

Yi Feng’s confusion reached its peak.

His eyes were nearly spinning in circles from the absurdity of it all.

"Doomed me?"

Lin Ruowei took a difficult breath and forced herself to explain the truth.

"Ever since we arrived in the Fallen God Realm, we have been held captive here. Our Cultivation has been sealed, and we are forced to work these mines under the watch of the Black Dragon Divine Guards."

"We had hoped you could go for help... but you have already stepped into the mining zone. This entire area is under constant watch. Now you are trapped just like we are—"

"This is entirely my fault. You may punish me however you wish!"

She bowed even lower, her noble robes stained with dirt and her hair nearly touching the ground in a display of profound remorse.

Cheng Yuxun bowed alongside her, preparing himself for Yi Feng’s inevitable anger.

However—

There was no outburst of rage. Instead, Yi Feng’s eyes began to sparkle with life.

"Mortal danger...?"

This was his lucky day!

After searching for an entire month, a real opportunity had finally presented itself!

Looking at their miserable condition and hearing their sincere apologies, the situation definitely sounded incredibly dire...

Yi Feng suddenly looked very excited!

"Quickly, tell me everything that is happening here!"
