48: Chapter 48

Lin Xiao noticed that the spacetime of his territory was in a state of oscillation and showed no signs of weakening.

It was now the third day since the territory was invaded. Calculating from the first Sin Race lord to invade, the duration of the spacetime oscillation should have passed the halfway point, and a clear weakening should be visible.

However, the reality was that it wasn't.

The reason for this was quite simple: the second Bull Demon Race lord had invaded without waiting for the spacetime oscillation to end.

His invasion had also caused a certain degree of spacetime oscillation, making the spacetime of Lin Xiao's territory increasingly chaotic, which effectively extended the duration of the spacetime oscillation.

The duration wasn't a simple addition, but it wouldn't be less than ten days either.

Such a situation was actually normal.

After all, the restrictions during spacetime oscillation only applied to both parties; other lords invading wouldn't care whether you were in a state of spacetime oscillation or not.

Otherwise, the situation of multiple lords besieging one person wouldn't happen.

"What if the spacetime oscillation continues indefinitely?"

Lin Xiao pondered in his heart.

Could such a situation occur?

The answer was certain.

He was now the number one hunting target for the Purgatory Race and the Sin Race. They would absolutely not allow him to grow up and subsequently affect their grand plan to besiege the Human Race lords of the First Source Sea.

Although the lords of the Purgatory Race and the Sin Race did not have his territory coordinates, they only needed to spend a huge amount of Source Crystals to perform a directional search.

Under a massive base number, even if the probability was small, it was still possible to invade Lin Xiao's territory.

This also meant that the spacetime oscillation would continue indefinitely.

And as long as the spacetime oscillation did not disappear, Lin Xiao could not contact the outside world, let alone obtain resources.

Lin Xiao frowned slightly.

He did not want to remain in a state of being cut off from the outside world.

It wasn't difficult to solve.

Wipe out all invaders, and the spacetime oscillation would naturally disappear.

Simple and brutal, but not the answer Lin Xiao wanted.

He began to recall the content he had learned in class, as well as his parents' teachings.

"For lords who are constantly invaded and whose spacetime oscillation continues, the Chaos Source Sea will also provide a glimmer of hope."

"In the First Source Sea, on the seventh day of continuous spacetime oscillation, the invaded lord can obtain one opportunity to force a call for help."

Ignoring the spacetime oscillation, forcing a call for help.

This was the lifeline for a besieged lord.

Lin Xiao didn't need to ask for help, but he could use this opportunity to send information to the outside world, letting Jin Ruxuan and Qin Yiyi bring the resources he needed.

"Then let's wait until the seventh day."

Lin Xiao stopped thinking about it.

On the fourth day, there were no new invaders, but something unexpected happened to Lin Xiao.

[Human Race lord Li Bo has sent you a request for help. This request is part of the contract content and is mandatory.]

"Requesting help from me?"

Lin Xiao was stunned.

He had some impression of Li Bo; he was one of his temporary subordinates.

How long had it been, and he was already failing?

The other party was not a Prodigy like him, only a Tier 1 lord, and had no qualifications to be deliberately targeted by Purgatory Race and Sin Race lords.

Was his luck too bad, encountering a strong enemy?

Regardless, since he was his contract object, Lin Xiao certainly had to save him.

It is worth mentioning that.

Invasion and reinforcement are two different mechanisms.

Even if your territory is invaded and is in a state of spacetime oscillation, you can still send troops to rescue after receiving a request for help.

As long as you still have the spare capacity to send people...

Opening the request for help sent by Li Bo, Lin Xiao read it.

Looking at it, he finally understood what was going on.

Li Bo was not in mortal danger. The reason he sent this precious request for help was entrusted by Jin Ruxuan, who wanted to know about Lin Xiao's situation.

"I can actually communicate with the outside world through rescue."

Lin Xiao's heart stirred.

He thought for a moment and summoned Jiang Yao.

"You take a few Wind Shadow Archers and make a trip..."

A request for help cannot be sent casually; it must be triggered when the territory is invaded by other lords, or when it is under a massive attack by Void Monsters and encounters a crisis.

Li Bo chose the moment when the intangible barrier between his territory and the Void Land disappeared, and the Void Monsters attacked in large numbers, to send this request for help.

As for the fact that only a few days had passed since the Seven-Day Assessment, the newly appeared Void Monsters should not be able to enter the territory yet...

That was not a problem.

The intangible barrier between the Void Land and the territory was not without ways to be removed in advance.

Lin Xiao sending troops was not just to deliver information, but also to help Li Bo solve the Void Monsters.

"Understood, my lord."

Listening to Lin Xiao's instructions, Jiang Yao understood immediately.

As Lin Xiao chose to reinforce, a spatial channel appeared out of thin air, and Jiang Yao led several Wind Shadow Archers into it without hesitation.

Half an hour later.

The System notification sounded in Lin Xiao's ear, reminding him that he had completed a rescue.

Jiang Yao and the others left quickly and returned quickly.

The few looked relaxed, without the slightest appearance of having experienced a bitter battle.

Regarding this, Lin Xiao was not too surprised.

Not to mention that Li Bo did not send him a request for help because he was in a desperate situation, and the purpose of the request was to contact him; in reality, he could handle the attack of the Void Monsters by himself.

Even if he really couldn't solve it, it didn't matter.

The Void Land outside Li Bo's territory had only been explored to the fourth layer.

The Void Monsters of the fourth layer encountering Jiang Yao and the others was undoubtedly a slaughter...

"Lord, I have already told that lord the words you wanted me to convey." Jiang Yao came to report.

"Very good."

Lin Xiao nodded with satisfaction.

He was in a good mood.

He had established contact with the outside world and completed a contract at the same time.

Using up a vassal-level protection so easily was definitely a huge loss for Li Bo.

However, Jin Ruxuan would definitely compensate him, so it wasn't a big problem.

...

On the other side, Jin Ruxuan also received the message from Li Bo.

"Lin Xiao is actually this confident."

Jin Ruxuan was a little shocked.

From the words Lin Xiao had someone bring, he did not hear any panic, only a desire for resources...

If it were him, in a situation where he was constantly invaded by Purgatory Race and Sin Race lords, his territory was always in a state of spacetime oscillation, and he could not contact the outside world, he would inevitably feel some panic.

Perhaps he would already be thinking of ways to save himself, or even publishing his territory coordinates to let others come to rescue him.

But Lin Xiao did not.

"I hope you can bring us more surprises." Jin Ruxuan expected in his heart.

Lin Xiao had given him too many surprises, and he hoped this time would be no exception.

Jin Ruxuan soon became busy; the things Lin Xiao wanted were not few.

He first contacted Qin Yiyi to explain Lin Xiao's situation, and then began to look for the next candidate to request help from Lin Xiao.

A request for help could not be sent by just anyone.

Strangers definitely wouldn't work.

Friends, members of the same faction, and contract objects could send a request for help to Lin Xiao.

Lin Xiao had not joined any guild or faction, but he had friends and over a hundred contract objects. It was not difficult to select a suitable candidate from them.
