When Shu Xiaobai saw a lead-made cube.
He lifted it up a bit, and with the red crystal inside, this thing must weigh about 300 kilograms.
Ding—
Red crystal discovered, can absorb red crystal energy, converting it into 1000 points of imagination power.
"I can't carry it." Shu Xiaobai stared with big, watery eyes.
The special forces team leader placed a hand on Shu Xiaobai's shoulder: "Xiaobai, think carefully before you answer."
"This is really too heavy." Shu Xiaobai said with a troubled expression.
Mainly, if he had to carry such a heavy object, Shu Xiaobai felt he would need to add at least 20 points of strength.
This would completely waste his imagination power.
"Xiaobai, if you can't carry it, you will lose your value in the team, and you will be left on the aircraft, which will crash with it."
"Captain, I can try a bit harder." Shu Xiaobai decisively admitted, but soon hesitated: "But with you and me, plus this 300-kilogram box, will the parachute work?"
Shu Xiaobai was worried that such a heavy object might make the parachute ineffective.
Just this box alone already weighed as much as two people.
Add him and the special forces team leader, and that would be the weight of four people.
"You don't need to worry about that... Also, stay away from me."
Even with the red crystal wrapped in lead, the special forces team leader still feared the radiation from the red crystal.
The aircraft's door opened, and the special forces team members jumped out one by one.
"Captain, did you forget to wear the parachute?" Shu Xiaobai noticed that the captain wasn't wearing a parachute.
The special forces team leader glanced at Shu Xiaobai and pointed at him from a distance.
The next moment, Shu Xiaobai felt a force pulling him.
He was then dragged out of the aircraft's door.
"Ahh..."
The special forces team leader also jumped out of the aircraft.
He dove down completely, at an incredible speed.
In an instant, he caught up with the falling Shu Xiaobai.
During the fall, Shu Xiaobai felt the same pulling force again.
Gradually, he felt his falling speed slowing down.
Shu Xiaobai felt a bit more at ease.
He couldn't help but wonder what kind of constitution their captain had.
The landing was uneventful, and when Shu Xiaobai's feet touched the ground, his descent speed had slowed significantly.
It had at least slowed to a level his body could handle.
The captain landed first, and Shu Xiaobai took a deep breath.
"Captain, what kind of constitution do you have? Is this your ability?"
"Have you not been following the news? My constitution isn't a secret; I have a dual awakening constitution." The captain said: "Kun Tong's constitution and Zizai Tian's constitution."
Shu Xiaobai was a bit confused, not understanding these two constitutions at all.
"You really don't follow the news. Kun Tong refers to the Kun Tong mountain range, an area with abnormal gravity, several times that of other places. The ability of Kun Tong's constitution is related to gravity, allowing control over gravity. So people with this constitution are also called Kun Tong's children."
"What about Zizai Tian's constitution?"
"Zizai Tian's constitution is the opposite of Kun Tong's constitution, anti-gravity. I can apply anti-gravity to any object, including living beings."
The captain's tone was calm, but it exuded confidence.
If the special forces team was Taiyong City's trump card, then the captain was the team's trump card.
Shu Xiaobai looked at the captain with eyes full of longing: "Captain, do you mind if I take a sample of your body?"
"Ha ha... Do you know how much money I make each year by selling body samples? Ten million white crystals. Can you afford that price?"
"Captain, talking about money hurts feelings."
"Can you get a free pass for this mission?"
"No."
Indeed, once money was mentioned, it hurt feelings.
Soon, the other team members who used parachutes also landed.
Everyone landed safely, with no casualties.
However, from the moment they landed, everyone's faces were filled with a serious expression.
Clearly, everyone knew this mission was a trip to the gates of hell.
The captain was the one with the highest chance of survival.
The others did not have strong survival skills.
They were more focused on combat, which was their primary job.
So, when selecting members for the special forces team, combat ability was the top priority.
Shu Xiaobai was an exception.
Shu Xiaobai was a pure tool.
Of course, Shu Xiaobai didn't mind this.
He was also willing to be a tool.
What he objected to was not the role of a tool, but the suicide mission.
Although Shu Xiaobai had made many preparations before the mission,
he now deeply felt that his preparations were not sufficient.
"Don't be nervous, everyone. We are still a distance away from Taiwu Mountain. Although we will encounter some strange beasts along the way, the threats won't be significant. We will enter the Taiwu Mountain area in three days." The captain said with a smile.
Everyone adjusted their mindset and started chatting and laughing again.
Only Shu Xiaobai was flipping through his notes and writing something down.
Shu Xiaobai knew this mission was a matter of life and death.
But he still wanted to struggle.
If he wanted to survive, the best way was to make sure no one could catch him.
Extreme speed could achieve this.
But Shu Xiaobai couldn't do it.
Even if he put all his attributes into agility and added the Wind's Breath, he still couldn't reach that level.
So he had to look for other elemental magic, hoping to find a solution in other elemental magic.
Currently, Shu Xiaobai was studying dark magic, but so far, he had never sensed dark elements.
Not even in the dark.
By the campfire, everyone was laughing happily.
Shu Xiaobai couldn't be as carefree as they were.
He couldn't face death as calmly as they did.
They were willing to be heroes, willing to carry the burden.
Shu Xiaobai didn't want to die; he wanted to survive, even if it meant surviving in the most ungraceful way.
"Xiaobai, what are you looking at?"
"Nothing, just some things I'm researching." Shu Xiaobai said casually.
Suddenly, Shu Xiaobai heard a rustling sound from the shadows.
Shu Xiaobai shivered, and the previously noisy campfire suddenly fell silent.
They had also heard the noise.
The captain suddenly raised his arm, his palm pointing towards the shadows in the forest.
In the next moment, the flames beside him roared fiercely.
A strange beast was dragged out of the shadows by an invisible force.
Haha! Another team member leaped up and kicked.
A powerful kick swept across the strange beast's head.
The beast's head was instantly kicked to pieces.
Shu Xiaobai was dazed.
Looking at the strange beast's corpse on the ground, a strange feeling rose in his heart.
Slap—
The captain's large hand patted Shu Xiaobai's shoulder: "Don't take it too seriously, it's just a small scene."
