The Mighty Mage novel Chapter 115

Chapter 115: Chapter 115: Advanced Stage of Apprentice Level.

"Catalope has good agility and speed, making it difficult to catch. Their horns are sharp and can cause serious injuries if not handled properly," Zhang Wei continued, his tone serious.

Gu Jin listened attentively, taking mental notes of the information provided.

She knew that being well-prepared and knowledgeable about the dangers they might face was crucial for their journey.

"Also they have very keen sense, so even a slight movement can alert them. It has a single element. Psychic. Does everyone have a mind-calming device?" Zhang Wei asked.

Everyone nodded. Gu Jin had bought a lot of things and though they were of low grade they were still passable.

"Good. Now let’s talk about Catalope’s weakness. Catalope’s weakness lies in its reliance on its psychic abilities," Zhang Wei explained.

"While its psychic powers make it difficult to catch and can detect even slight movements, they also leave it vulnerable to certain countermeasures."

Gu Jin leaned in, her interest piqued.

She knew that understanding an enemy’s weaknesses was just as important as knowing their strengths.

"The Catalope’s psychic abilities are sensitive to disruptions in the energy field around it," Zhang Wei continued.

"By creating a disturbance in its psychic field, we can temporarily disrupt its abilities and weaken its defenses."

"What kind of disturbances are effective against Catalope?" Gu Jin asked, her curiosity evident in her voice.

"Anything that disrupts the flow of psychic energy," Zhang Wei replied.

"Loud noises, sudden movements, or even certain spells can all create enough disruption to throw off its psychic abilities."

"Remember," Zhang Wei cautioned,

"timing and coordination are key. We need to act quickly and decisively to take advantage of the Catalope’s vulnerability."

Gu Jin asked,

"What about Red-eyed deer?"

"Ah, the Red-eyed deer," Zhang Wei replied, shifting his focus to the next threat they might encounter.

"Unlike the Catalope, the Red-eyed deer is a Soul Class beast, meaning it possesses more formidable strength and abilities."

Zhang Wei continued. "Its red eyes are not just for show – they possess a unique ability to mesmerize and immobilize its prey."

"In addition to its mesmerizing gaze, the Red-eyed deer also possesses exceptional stamina and endurance," Zhang Wei added.

"It can chase down its prey for hours without tiring, making it a formidable opponent in prolonged battles."

"Do they have any weaknesses?" Gu Jin asked, hoping for a glimmer of hope amidst the daunting description of the creature.

Zhang Wei paused for a moment, considering his response.

"The Red-eyed deer’s primary weakness lies in its eyes," he finally replied.

"While its mesmerizing gaze is powerful, it also renders it temporarily vulnerable to attacks when it is using this ability."

Gu Jin memorized the information in her mind quickly.

"However," Zhang Wei continued,

"it’s worth noting that the Red-eyed deer’s mesmerizing gaze is not its only method of attack. It also possesses sharp antlers and hooves, which it can use with deadly precision."

"What element does it have?" Gu Jin asked.

Zhang Wei thought for a moment before responding,

"The Red-eyed deer primarily possesses the element of Darkness."

Darkness was a powerful element, often associated with stealth, manipulation, and illusion.

"Do they possess the power to manipulate or create illusion?" Liu Sunhao asked curiously.

"Idiot! Did you not hear? They have the power to mesmerize! How could they have the power to manipulate?" Xu Mingtao rolled her eyes.

"Sunhao you asked a good question." Zhang Wei.

Gu Jin raised an eyebrow.

"Red-Eyed Deers indeed could manipulate, but only if they are in their mature phase i.e. they are about to be promoted to Soldier Class."

Zhang Wei explained further,

"During their mature phase, Red-eyed deer gain the ability to manipulate darkness and create illusions.

This ability enhances their mesmerizing gaze, making it even more potent and difficult to resist."

"So, it’s not just their mesmerizing gaze we need to be wary of," Gu Jin summarized, "but also their potential to manipulate darkness and create illusions."

Zhang Wei confirmed her understanding with a nod.

"Exactly. It adds another layer of danger to our encounters with Red-eyed deer, especially as they approach the Soldier Class."

For the next 5 hours, the team discussed the weakness and strength of the beast and the different beasts they can encounter.

Sometimes, Zhang Wei shared the details, while the other members listened; sometimes another member talked and Zhang Wei listened.

By the end of 5 hours, Gu Jin knew about many other beasts.

"Leader, what about the reward?" Xu Mingtao asked excitedly.

Zhang Wei thought about the reward and said with a heavy heart,

"12 million and 2 days of cultivation tower entry to one person."

The entire team fell silent.

12 million may seem a big amount but if divided into 6 people, it would only be 2 million per person.
