Weakest Beast Tamer Gets All SSS Dragons novel Chapter 474

Chapter 474: Chapter 474 - Taming Opportunism

Zhao barely had time to process the massive shadow plummeting from the heights before his survival instincts launched him into a desperate flutter to one side.

Death brushed past his left shoulder.

The body of the Cat Bear, an enormous creature 20 meters tall, crashed into the ground with an impact that made the earth tremble.

"Damned cursed luck!" hissed Zhao, canceling his silent flight while moving away from the crater the creature had created.

The massive feline rose slowly, golden blood dripping from multiple wounds. The marks of pincers and perforations in its fur told the story of the recent lost encounter against the hunting trees.

It had escaped, but barely.

The wounds were showing a desperate struggle. Deep gouges where the trees’ specialized appendages and massive claws had found purchase, puncture wounds and patches of missing fur where the sharp beaks had pierced through its natural armor.

This was a predator that had learned the hard way about the price of overconfidence.

The giants above didn’t move to pursue. Their beaks couldn’t reach all the way down anyway.

Zhao could see their imposing forms remaining erect, conserving energy thanks to their structure adapted for upright rest. The cost of moving from place to place with that enormous mass was astronomical, so they only did it when absolutely necessary.

Their patience was a method of hunting and living. Why waste energy chasing prey when greed for the forbidden fruit would eventually deliver it to them anyway?

The forest had become a vertical killing field where the trees held almost all the advantages.

But the giants weren’t his immediate problem.

The wounded Cat Bear growled, especially annoyed by the pain and loss. Its eyes, normally sharp as blades, moved erratically, seeking something to take its frustration out on.

The bark of the enormous trunk became its outlet for a moment first.

Massive claws raked furrows in the surface, each swipe carving trenches deep enough for a man to hide in. The display of raw power was both impressive and deeply concerning for anyone small or weak enough to become a target for such rage.

Zhao reactivated his low profile silent flight, luckily in time, using his Mist Owl’s ability to glide away from the grumpy cat without making noise.

It was then that, distracted by the enormous feline bear’s tantrum, he touched something he didn’t realize was there. 𝚏𝕣𝕖𝚎𝚠𝚎𝚋𝚗𝐨𝐯𝕖𝕝.𝕔𝐨𝕞

The "root" wrapped around the trunk felt like flesh, moist and pulsing.

Zhao realized his mistake the same instant the thing coiled around his arm to trap him with enormous constrictor force. It wasn’t a root; it was more like a tentacle, a feeding vine, part of something much larger and hungrier.

"Golden Carrion Sprout!" he cursed, immediately recognizing the trap he had fallen into.
