The third way was to get a Magician to set up a Contractual Magic Circle...
It was just a shame that Hudders couldn’t achieve any of the methods, no matter which it was. If he had such abilities, he’d have made it big a long time ago. Why would he still be stuck in this tiny little Magical Beast Village?
Therefore, in the case of mounts like the Iron-Armored Rhinoceros, the only thing he could do was just to daydream about it, and nothing more!
However, Meng Lei was telling him right now that he could make the Iron-Armored Rhinoceros recognize him as its master. How could Hudders not become agitated?
“Why not?”
Meng Lei smiled and began to quickly chant a magic incantation. Before long, a dazzling and colorful magic circle arose from underneath the Iron-Armored Rhinoceros, giving off strange fluctuating waves!
The Iron-Armored Rhinoceros became unsettled upon seeing the magic circle. It began to struggle fiercely, and the Thunderbolt Chains actually started to show signs of breaking! Upon seeing that, Meng Lei launched a few more Thunderbolt Chains in succession!
For a moment there, the Iron-Armored Rhinoceros was shackled and wrapped like a mummy, unable to budge at all!
Meng Lei landed on the ground and dragged his finger lightly across the Iron-Armored Rhinoceros. It easily cut through its tough skin, which was as solid and sturdy like iron, and formed a laceration!
Blood spurted from the wound and landed in the magic circle by itself!
“Captain Hudders, come over here and subdue this beast!”
“Sure, sure!”
Hudders hurriedly ran, so worked up that he could barely contain himself!
Meng Lei pointed at the magic circle and said with a smile, “Drip a few drops of blood into it!”
Hudders didn’t dare to be tardy. He took out his dagger, made a cut on his finger, and let a few drops of blood drip from the cut. At once, the magic circle emitted a bright light, which shrouded Hudders’ and the Iron-Armored Rhinoceros’ blood!
Both human and beast blood began to rapidly transform and formed a strange pocket-sized blood-colored magic circle. Then, it separated into two and shot swiftly toward the Iron-Armored Rhinoceros and Hudders, before entering their heads and vanishing without a trace!
Whoosh!
The magic circle on the ground also vanished along with it!
“How is it, Captain Hudders?”
Meng Lei looked at Hudders, a hint of curiosity in his eyes. He’d long wanted to subdue a Magical Beast as his mount, so he’d specially studied how to set up a Contractual Magic Circle before!
However, this was still Meng Lei’s first time setting up a Contractual Magic Circle and subduing a Magical Beast. Thus, he naturally found it very new and interesting!
“It... feels like... I now have a bit of a link with it?”
Hudders looked at the Iron-Armored Rhinoceros, which also looked at him!
Two pairs of eyes gazed at each other!
The irascibility and savagery in the Iron-Armored Rhinoceros’ eyes disappeared, and reverence and allegiance took its place. The way it looked at Hudders was completely different from how it had looked at him previously!
Hudders called out, “Come here!”
The Iron-Armored Rhinoceros walked over obediently without even the least bit of resistance!
It didn’t resist even when Hudders reached out and touched its nose and was as docile as a kitten. There was no trace of its previous demeanor at all!
“So this is the might of a master-servant contract? It’s impressive, indeed!”
Meng Lei clicked his tongue in wonder and admiration as he watched. The contract’s successful formation had actually straight up changed the Iron-Armored Rhinoceros’ will and thoughts, causing it to recognize Hudders as its master from the bottom of its heart!
This was too scary!
“Haha! I have a mount now! I have a mount now!”
Hudders kept stroking the Iron-Armored Rhinoceros, so excited that he was practically grinning from ear to ear. The other guards also approached them, both excited and envious!
“Captain, congrats!”
“Tsk, tsk, having the Fourth-Grade Magical Beast Iron-Armored Rhinoceros as a mount, I’m totally green with envy!”
“It’s so mighty and imposing! I’m dying of envy...”
Chapter 60: Superior-Grade Fire-Elemental Affinity, Bringing Fortune To The Village
Successfully subduing the Iron-Armored Rhinoceros was just an interesting new experience to Meng Lei, but to Hudders and everyone else in the village, it was an event of epic proportions!
Captain Hudders was incredibly excited!
The team of guards was also filled with joy.
Everyone knew that with the Iron-Armored Rhinoceros keeping watch now, the beast tide problem that had brought the village great suffering would be completely solved. There wouldn’t be any more suffering due to beast tide attacks!
This was an epic event!
“Thank you, Meng Lei!”
Hudders held Meng Lei’s hands tightly, his feelings of gratitude showing in his actions. The other guards also looked at Meng Lei with awe and astonishment in their eyes.
They couldn’t get the scene from just now out of their minds!
Countless magic thunder balls!
Sharp lightning lances falling like a rain of swords!
Dozens of Magical Beasts impaled to the ground!
Thunderbolt Chains securely restraining the Iron-Armored Rhinoceros!
Meng Lei!
He was actually this powerful and formidable?
How long had it only been? Yet he had already undergone such an astonishing change?
“I’ll feel like you’re treating me like a stranger if you say such words of gratitude!”
Meng Lei waved and let Jonah and the other two down from the magic carpet. He said with a smile, “After being away from the village for more than half a year, I miss the village’s roasted meat and your malt wine very much, Captain. I wonder if there’s still any left?”
“I might not have anything else, but I definitely have enough roasted meat and malt wine!”
Hudders burst into laughter and said, “Hurry! Inform the village chief, and get the villagers to hurry and come out to
