Chapter 12: The first encounter with the main rider armored transformer! Outside the base city forged by cruelty and blood, the drums of crisis!
Accompanied by the opening of the gate of Yunze Base City.

Su Bai and An Ruhua also took the first step for knights to surpass ordinary people for the first time!
Enter the wild, enter this so-called human restricted area!

“What a terrible smell.”

This was Su Bai's most genuine first reaction after he walked out of the gate of the base city.

The world outside the base city was not what he imagined. Because there had been no human intervention for a long time, various vegetation grew lushly and the air was fresh.

Instead, there was a faint stench that attacked his nostrils all the time.

It smells bad, but it’s even worse.

"Due to the opening of the underground cave, the special energy contained in it has caused the vegetation on the original blue planet to undergo a vicious evolution."

"They are full of hostility towards humans. Even if they don't dare to blatantly attack human base cities, they will release some stinking flower scents in the direction of the base cities to disgust people."

"Try to adapt to it."

"When you really feel like you can't hold on any longer, merge and transform again."

An Ruhua also frowned, but did not choose to transform immediately.

after all.

This is the world outside the base city. It is the world that these knights will have to come into contact with for a long time in the future, so they should try to adapt to it in advance.

After all, those caves in the base city are only used by novice knights to transition and by the older generation of weak knights to support their families.

In terms of danger, those wild monsters outside the base city that fight at the critical moment of life and death every day can directly kill the cave monsters raised in the city by leaps and bounds!

"Ah."

"Let's go."

"It's an abandoned town southeast of the base city. I don't know how long it will take to get there."

Su Bai shook his head, somewhat accustomed to the faint stench.

I just hope that things will get a little better after we get out of the "key focus" area with viciously evolved vegetation.

After all, he didn't want to deliberately make himself suffer for the so-called adaptation.

"Not far."

"There is only one small town to the southeast of the base city, about ten kilometers away."

An Ruhua silently took out an old-looking map from her four-dimensional pocket, which clearly showed the detailed topography and areas around the base city.

This map looks like it was made several decades ago, or even earlier, because some of the areas on it should have been bustling and prosperous.

Now it has turned into ruins.

Continuing to move towards the southeast, An Ruhua kept a vigilant eye on the surroundings for any movement that might indicate the hiding of monsters, while also being ready to transform at any time.

She had the same idea as Su Bai, that is, just adapt to it and don't make things difficult for yourself.

If you like to seek trouble, then why become a knight?
The two didn't say anything more.

He just kept walking quickly towards the southeast with his whole body tense.

Along the way.

The two of them truly understood why the outside world was called a human restricted area.

When we walked one kilometer out of the base city, the stench that had been lingering around our noses began to gradually weaken, and some dilapidated-looking human buildings began to appear around us.

An abandoned highway that had been torn apart by the claws of some large monster. There was even a toll booth covered with ivy next to it, and tall buildings that seemed to have clotted blood in the distance.

It looks like this generation was before it was conquered by monsters.

It should be extremely prosperous.

“This is the disaster of the monster.”

Su Bai felt the visual impact of the strong wasteland wind in front of him, and his originally relaxed mood gradually became heavy.

Although he has been in this world for three years, his knowledge of the outside world of Base City is limited to the history textbooks compiled by the Federation.

And when he actually saw and felt personally the wasteland-style and tragic things in the history textbooks, they were reflected in reality.

That trance-like feeling also made Su Bai have a deeper affection for this world.

It can be said that the blood solidified in a short sentence in the history book represents the sadness of an entire era.

“Knights enjoy treatment, privileges, and resources far superior to those of ordinary people.”

"In addition to the fact that knights possess far greater strength than ordinary people, they also shoulder the responsibility of fighting against the evil beasts."

"Of course, it might be a bit too restrictive to say responsibility, it's more about danger."

"All the treatment, privileges and resources of the Knights were basically earned by fighting for my life outside the base city."

"Except for some worms and odds and ends, of course."

An Ruhua was also looking at everything around her.

As the young lady of the An family, she knows much more information outside the base city than Su Bai.

But he had never really seen the tragic situation outside the base city.

Seeing this, I can’t help but feel touched.

"Okay, it's time for us to start combining."

"The town southeast of the base city is just ahead. Since there are rank 2 lord monsters in it, it must have become a monster habitat."

"We must be prepared to face attacks from countless first-level small demon beasts in addition to the violent giant python second-level demon beast lord."

An Ruhua looked into the distance.

From her current position, with her enhanced vision from leveling up, she could already vaguely see the outline of a dilapidated town.

"Then you really have to be prepared and try to make it as quick as possible!"

“To deal with the second-level monster beast lord violent python, Jia Dou Wang can try to scratch it, but once the second-level monster beast lord violent python is scratched.”

"I may not have the energy to deal with the remaining monsters!"

Su Bai was not arrogant and did not think that he was invincible after possessing the Decade Driver.

The reason why King Jiadou was able to kill the Lord of Lava was unavoidable.

"Well! Just do your best, and I can handle the remaining huge monsters."

"It's okay even if you can't deal with that second-level monster lord. We can just wait three days and come back!"

"Our level has reached the peak of level 10, surpassing many so-called genius knights. We can afford to wait!"

An Ruhua looked at Su Bai with her big eyes.

In the end, he even remembered to comfort him and told him not to get too carried away.

After all, you can wait for the cooldown before continuing to change your job, but you only have one life!
"It's okay, I'm measured!"

Su Bai looked at the lonely town from afar, took a deep breath, and prepared himself for battle.

"it is good!"

An Ruhua didn't ask any more questions.

He raised his hand, took out the dark ace memory from his four-dimensional pocket, and touched it gently!
The sound effects then began to sound excitingly!
【Joker】（Ace）

Soon, he was also led astray by Su Bai, and heavily inserted into the double driver that had been prepared at his waist. "Let's start!"

Su Bai also pulled out the emerald green Gale Memory from his four-dimensional pocket and touched it gently.

Cyclone

Then it was heavily inserted into the dual drive.

Then both of them pushed him away violently!

moment.

The transformation sound effect begins!
【Cyclone! Joker!】【Ace of Gale】

In an instant.

The originally calm surroundings began to be gusty, and the Gale Ace made its debut successfully!
"Well, let's count your sins!"

This is not what Su Bai said.

This time.

An Ruhua seemed to remember what Su Bai had taught her about the conditions for the ultimate drive of Gale Ace. After she had transformed, she quickly raised the arm on one side of the Ace and added a sentence.

but.

One second, two seconds, three seconds passed.

However, Su Bai did not shout out this immature opening remark.

"???"

"You, didn't you scream?"

An Ruhua's voice was trembling. Even though there were no people or living creatures around her, she felt a sense of social annihilation and shame just because she was the only one shouting this opening remark.

"Pfft."

"Cough cough."

Su Bai forced himself to suppress the sound of laughter that was about to burst out.

And then explain.

"No, there are no monsters or enemies here. Don't you feel embarrassed to shout that?"

An Ruhua: “.”

"No! You!"

"You dog!"

An Ruhua only felt a tightness in her chest at this moment. If it weren't for her more than ten years of cultivation as a young lady, she would have immediately turned into a Zuan pianist!
Stop talking!
An Ruhua simply stopped talking!
No matter how much Su Bai called and teased her, she just pursed her lips without saying a word and quickly walked towards the town in the distance.

It was obvious that he was a little angry because of Su Bai's teasing!
After transforming into Gale Ace, his pace became even faster.

It only took a few minutes to reach the entrance of the dilapidated town about seven or eight kilometers away.

The gate of the town had become rotten, and was stained with blood that had solidified long ago.

"Aurora Town?"

The first thing Su Bai noticed was the plaque that had fallen to the ground, becoming dirty and dilapidated, with only a few words vaguely discernible.

All of this also clearly tells Su Bai and An Ruhua that this town is absolutely extremely dangerous!

"Please help me keep an eye on the back. If there are any monsters approaching, we should avoid them if possible."

"Our only target is the Violent Python, a second-level lord-level monster!"

After arriving at the dangerous area, An Ruhua knew the seriousness of the situation and did not continue to be angry. Instead, she carefully observed any possible unusual movements around her.

The lava sword that had been prepared long ago was taken out directly from the four-dimensional pocket.

"Okay, go ahead and don't worry."

One of the benefits of double riders.

The outside world revealed in the white space is 3D surround, which means that Su Bai can help guard against sneak attacks from monsters behind while An Ruhua is looking ahead.

This is definitely a great auxiliary ability in combat!
The two of them quickly and carefully entered the Aurora town.

Just stepped in.

It was shocking.

What kind of town is this? Isn't this a snake den?

Wherever Su Bai's eyes could see, there were snakes of various colors wandering and patrolling.

This small town, which was originally a place for humans to live, has now become a paradise for these snakes!

"With this level of density, it seems impossible not to alert the enemy."

An Ruhua frowned and finally sighed helplessly.

Originally, he was planning to conserve some strength as much as possible so that he could deal with the second-level lord-level monster, the violent giant python.

But in the current situation, there are so many snakes that it is difficult to move.

Not to mention avoiding disturbing the monsters.

"Then fight!"

"We've come this far, we can't go back!"

Su Bai's eyes focused, and he had the Decade Driver ready in his hand, ready to take control of Gale Ace at any time.

Come switch to Decade and fight!
An Ruhua said nothing more!

The flame patterns on the lava sword in his hand gradually became hotter, and then he slashed down at the area where the snake monsters were most concentrated without hesitation!
"Boom boom boom!"

Accompanied by flames shooting up into the sky!
The originally peaceful Aurora town was completely set on fire!

“Hissssssssss!!!”

Countless snake monsters also reacted immediately and pounced on An Ruhua without hesitation!

But An Ruhua and Su Bai had no intention of getting entangled with these snake monsters.

He just ran towards the depths of Aurora Town while clearing out the snake monsters that blocked his way!
but.

Just as An Ruhua was working hard to clear the snake monsters and clear the way.

However, inexplicably, amidst the dense hissing sounds of the snake monsters, an extremely abrupt sound was heard.

It seems to be the sound effect of knights combining!
【Orange】

【Lock On！】【Lock】

【Soiya! 】

【Orange Arms! Flower Arrangement On Stage! 】

Su Bai: “!!!”

"Someone is combining silly oranges!?"
