Chapter 29

Abel returned to the castle the next morning . After he had breakfast and rested for two hours, he returned to his private operation room in the Blacksmith’s Guild .

For the trillionth time, Abel was a bodybuilding trainer in his previous life . He was used to going hiking with his friends in the wild, which made him have a lot of experience in hunting .

This time, Abel wanted to make a giant bear trap according to his memories . As Master Bentham suggested, the wolfriders were very fast and flexible . They would often implement a hit-and-run strategy during battle . If they didn’t have a large number of soldiers to surround them, it would be very difficult to annihilate them . However, things would be completely different if we could make a large bear trap . If a wolfrider stepped on it, it would at the very least injured their leg . This could hugely reduce their speed, therefore they will no longer be a threat .

The beasts and humans of this world were both much stronger than the beasts and humans in the previous incarnation of earth . Thus, Abel thought that he needed something special to stop these wolfriders .

The components of the gigantic bear trap consisted of a large compression spring, two charm clamps, a clamp trigger, a button, and a chain .

After the compression spring was flattened with force, it was gently held secured with the clamp trigger . If someone stepped on it, the two sharp clamps would be released instantaneously—catching the prey with a tremendous amount of rebound force . Since the two sharp clamps were not fully enclosed yet, the more the prey struggled, the tighter the grip would be .

It would be easy to imagine if the mount wolf of a wolfrider was caught by this gigantic bear trap . With the speed of the wolfrider . the mount wolf would be in excruciating amounts of pain . Therefore, the wolf rider would most likely be shaken off by the mount wolf .

This world did not have such a large bear trap, therefore the placement of the traps should not attract too much attention to the orcs, especially if we add some more camouflage to it .

The process of making the trap was simple . The only trouble was the compression spring . According to Abel’s memory, the steel used in the spring must require a high carbon content, to maintain the steel’s elasticity .

Abel practiced by forging a rough model with a hundred skills . After several attempts of carburizing, a lot of small samples were made according to different carburizing ratios . After testing, he decided on the best sample, and the production process was finally determined .

Then, Abel began mass production . After he made ten compression springs, there were still a lot of materials left . He then made several large spiral springs which could be used as shock absorbers when he decided to upgrade the carriage in the future .

Abel did not make any other accessories of the gigantic bear trap him since that would take too much time . The compression springs were the component that mattered the most . The other parts could let other blacksmiths in the blacksmith shop take care of it .

Abel called his senior, Gordon, who gave him a drawn blueprint and dimensions of the bear trap’s other components, and requested it to be forged in 2 days . Gordon did not have a problem with the request since he ordered a few of the most capable blacksmith to work extra hours, to complete it as soon as possible .

Early next morning, when Abel arrived at the blacksmith shop, Gordon told Abel with a pair of tired red eyes, “Master Abel, all the parts are made according to your requirements, and they are placed in your operation room . ”

Abel was very surprised . He thought that it would have taken at least two days, but it was finished in one night .  Looking at the tired red eyes of Gordon, He could not help but say, “Why didn’t you sleep last night? I don’t need these parts in a rush . ”



“Since the blacksmiths heard that it was your command, they refused to delay it and worked overnight . ” Gordon did not mention himself . He only gave the credit to the other blacksmiths, who was standing in front of Abel .

“Next time, when I forge a sword of hundred skill, the blacksmiths and you can watch on the side . Now, go to rest” Abel said with a smile .


“Thank you, Master Abel, I will let them know,” Gordon thanked Abel and ran off .

When Abel walked into the operation room, he saw a pile of accessories placed on the ground . It has been divided into ten parts . From these details alone, it was enough to show that Gordon was a very attentive person .

It took some effort to assemble such large bear traps, but Abel had always been a tough person, in half an hour, ten large traps were fully assembled .

Two horses were brought in, and each of them was strapped with five large traps . After it was secured, Abel waved a hand, signaling that they were ready to go .

Behind Harry Castle was a forest . Since Abel has been busy ever since he settled here, he never had the chance to explore this forest . He has heard that there were large beasts roaming around in there, Therefore Abel decided, this would be the place to test out his giant bear trap .



Although the castle has now begun to be on guard, when Abel left the castle with the 2 horses, no guard dared to ask anything . Abel’s current status was completely different from that when he first arrived . Everyone knew that Abel has now become a blacksmiths Master . In this world, the title of master could be attained by the elites of that particular profession . Therefore, they would be respected no matter where they go in the Holy Continent .

It was the sunniest part of the afternoon . The sun was shining through the gaps of the trees, scattering patches of lights over the fallen leaves on the ground . It made a dull crunching sound as Abel continued to walk . The horses were not very fond of the forest environment ether, as their nose began to make snorting sounds .

After he walked for about half an hour, Abel felt that he had arrived at the center of the forest . Although he did not see a single large beast along the way, he found a large pile of beast dung, which suggested there must be large beasts around here . The place was deserted, the last sign of civilization had already disappeared 10 minutes ago . Abel immediately knew this was the perfect place to put the bear trap since the trap was so powerful, it could not be placed anywhere close to humans .

Abel squatted down to looked for a beast’ s route on the ground . Beasts would always like to travel on the same route, and they would often leave some footprints behind . Therefore, experienced hunters would always know where the best place to set their traps

Although Abel didn’t have as much experience, he was still trained in this aspect . So after careful observation, he found a beast’s route . He immediately took out two gigantic bear traps from the horses . Then, he opened the clamps by force and secured the trigger . There were many techniques when it came to the placements of bear traps . You had to inspect the beast’s route properly in order to speculate the steps they would take . Even if the beast could dodge the first bear trap, it would not be able to escape the second one .

After the installation, Abel made an arrow marking on a tree . This mark was a reminder of where Abel had placed the trap and would make sure he wouldn’t step in it, himself . However, since there were arrows on the marking pointing towards different directions, it also allowed Abel to less likely get lost in the forest .

Abel continued to move forward . Every ten minutes, he would find a place to put the bear trap . Slowly, he walked for more than an hour, and all the large traps were placed .



The sky began to get dark . Abel was packing up his things, preparing to go back to the castle . There were still 2 hours before the sky was completely darkened . Until then, he could still see his way back .

At that moment, suddenly he heard a painful, yet angry scream from the distance .

A beast must have fallen for his gigantic bear trap . Only a beast could have made a noise in this forest .

Abel strapped his horse next to a tree and rushed in the direction of the sound . As Abel was running, he was constantly observing the surrounding environment, and the marking he made . It would be hilarious if he had fell for his own trap .

After running for ten minutes, Abel found the marking that he made . He slowed down and walked gently into the trap .

Although the sharp clamps had been triggered, there was no prey to be found anywhere . Abel squatted down and touched sharp teeth of the clamp with his hands . There was blood .

What triggered the trap might not be a beast after all . Although Abel doesn’t know what else could have triggered it, a beast definitely would not have the intelligence to free itself from it, especially without the help of a human hand . If the beast was very powerful, at most, it would just destroy the trap, not leaving it enclosed like this .

Could it be human? Abel shook his head . The voice he had just heard was clearly not human . That, he could be certain of .
