The following content is about trap techniques. After skimming through it, David Wright's eyes finally lit up a little.

The traps recorded inside were just as incredible and impossible to guard against. He even found some traps that were quite familiar to him. After thinking for a moment, he understood.

That night, when the black bears rioted in the mountains and reached the entrance of the village, more than half of them suddenly fell into traps.

He had always thought that these traps were the result of Old Man's genius imagination, invented by him alone. Not only that, but there were also several very well-hidden traps in the village, all crafted by Old Man as well.

However, now he found the diagrams and detailed explanations of these traps in this book.

Setting up traps is definitely not an easy task; there are many issues involved. For example, digging a large trap several meters wide, while ensuring the surface can bear a certain amount of weight, is quite a difficult problem.

Yet this book explained all these issues in detail, with tiny, fly-sized characters that made one's head spin. Only now did David Wright realize that the traps his father set all came from here, and that setting up those large traps was actually so difficult.

He carefully flipped through the book, as if trying to memorize everything inside, but in reality, he could understand less than a tenth of it.

After a long while, he finally opened the third book.

The title of this book was even stranger: Talisman Refining Techniques.

David Wright had no idea what a talisman was; this thing was far too unfamiliar to him at this moment.

However, after reading it, he gained some understanding of talismans. They seemed to be something legendary.

There were many types of talismans, but David Wright only skimmed over them and didn't pay much attention, because he found that the materials for making talismans were mostly those plants and animals from the first book, which he had no idea where to find.

At only ten years old, David Wright had no interest in such distant things. So he closed the book very directly and started flipping through the trap techniques again.

"Haotian, come out and eat."

Old Man's call temporarily pulled his attention away from the book. He replied perfunctorily, lowered his head, and continued reading the trap techniques in the second book.

He knew that thing was definitely a treasure.

Because all of Old Man's ingenious ideas actually came from it. He even understood that the reason Old Man could create so many varied, seemingly random yet effective and complex techniques when making furniture and weapons was all thanks to this book.

After a while, as David Wright was engrossed in reading, he suddenly noticed that the atmosphere around him seemed a bit off.

A dark shadow clearly blocked his view. He reached out and patted it, but the shadow didn't move at all.

Frowning slightly, he looked up and exclaimed in surprise, "Dad, when did you come in?"

Charles Wright said with a wry smile, "No matter how much you like it, you should eat first."

David Wright immediately felt his stomach growling.

After the lesson of the first day, every morning Charles Wright only prepared a little food to fill his stomach, and only after he finished his morning martial arts practice did he have a proper breakfast.

But today was clearly an exception—David Wright was too absorbed in reading.

He jumped up, grinned, and ran to the kitchen to help himself to two bowls of rice.

Charles Wright sat down and said, "Haotian, are those books interesting?"

"Interesting." David Wright hurriedly shoveled a couple of mouthfuls of rice into his mouth and said, "But there are a lot of parts I don't really understand."

Charles Wright said calmly, "It's okay if you don't understand. You can learn slowly."

"Dad, are you talking about the trap techniques?" David Wright asked in surprise and delight.

Trap techniques could definitely be called profound and extensive. Although the book already explained them in great detail, if someone could give guidance on the side, learning would be much faster.

Charles Wright nodded slightly and said, "Not just the trap techniques. Even the other things—you have to memorize them all." He reached out and tapped David Wright's little head.

David Wright's face immediately turned bitter. He said, "Dad, you've seen the other content too, but do you really think those things are real?"

A ten-year-old child might not have much experience, but he could already tell the difference between reality and myth.

When he read most of the content in those three books, he really treated them as mythological stories.

They might be good for entertainment, but if he had to memorize them all, that would be a vast and monumental task.

Charles Wright's face turned stern as he said, "This is the ancestral instruction. Anyone who inherits it must memorize the contents. I was no exception, and as my son, you can't be an exception either. Otherwise, after I die, I won't have the face to meet our ancestors."
