Chapter 594: The Ability of the Green Vine

Beside Six-Colored Lake, the Three-Headed Spirit Ghost Python hissed. Its cold serpentine eyes locked onto the black figure on the mountain peak. The next moment, it shot out violently, and a torrent of dark black Genesis Qi spewed from its mouth.

On the mountain peak, Zhou Yuan's expression also became slightly grave. He had witnessed the power of this Three-Headed Spirit Ghost Python before. His figure blurred, retreating like a phantom to avoid the torrent of Genesis Qi. The entire mountaintop was shattered by the dark black Genesis Qi breath.

The Spirit Ghost Python hissed, and as its cold serpentine eyes locked onto Zhou Yuan, a surge of hatred seemed to well up. It clearly recognized Zhou Yuan as the culprit who had severely injured it before.

"It's you, beast." Zhou Yuan also noticed this, his brows furrowing immediately. This Spirit Ghost Python was indeed the one they had dealt with previously. However, it seemed somewhat weaker than before, and its body had shrunk several times. If his guess was correct, although it had fortunately escaped earlier, its strength had still been damaged. But this did not lessen Zhou Yuan's apprehension, because two phantom pythons still circled the Spirit Ghost Python's body. Once these phantom pythons merged with it, its power would increase again.

"Hiss!" The Spirit Ghost Python shrieked and charged forward again. Zhou Yuan continuously retreated. Wherever the man and the python passed, towering ancient trees constantly collapsed. Zhou Yuan's eyes were icy cold, and the "Earth Saint Rune" flickered faintly in his palm. He was clearly looking for an opportunity to completely slay this Spirit Ghost Python here.

However, when the black figure in the distance saw the stalemate in the battle, a blue light suddenly shot out from beneath its wide black robe. It then rapidly expanded against the wind, transforming into a blue ice bird. As soon as the ice bird appeared, the temperature between heaven and earth plummeted.

"Xiao Han, go help kill him!" A voice emerged from beneath the black robe.

"Shriek!" The ice bird let out a long cry, flapped its wings, and shot out, about to join the battle.

But when this ice bird appeared, a look of surprise and doubt flashed in Zhou Yuan's eyes as he was entangled with the Spirit Ghost Python. He abruptly turned his gaze towards the black-robed figure by Six-Colored Lake and couldn't help but exclaim, "You, are you Lu Luo?!" Wasn't that ice bird the one that often accompanied Lu Luo?

As Zhou Yuan's shout echoed, the black-robed figure by the lake also seemed to stiffen. Then she finally heard the voice clearly, and a hesitant voice emerged from beneath her black robe: "Zhou, Zhou Yuan?" The voice was delicate and pleasant to the ear once more. As she spoke, she lifted her black robe, revealing her long green hair and a delicate, adorable small face. Who else could it be but Lu Luo? At this moment, her small face was filled with astonishment as she stared at Zhou Yuan's figure.

Zhou Yuan's figure appeared on a large boulder, moonlight shining on him. He stared at Lu Luo, who was not far away, with a strange expression. Clearly, he had never imagined that this stealthy figure would turn out to be Lu Luo.

"Hiss!" From behind, the Spirit Ghost Python hissed as it approached, about to launch an attack.

"Xiao Ling, come back!" Seeing this, Lu Luo quickly called out. The Spirit Ghost Python immediately stopped. It seemed somewhat unwilling, letting out a roar towards Zhou Yuan's figure, but ultimately transformed into a black light and shot back, shrinking its body and burrowing into Lu Luo's sleeve. The ice-blue giant bird named Xiao Han also shrunk, transforming back into its familiar small bird appearance, landing on Lu Luo's tender shoulder.

After putting away the two beasts, Lu Luo blinked her big eyes, looked at Zhou Yuan, and mumbled, "Zhou Yuan, you, why are you here?"

Zhou Yuan moved, appearing beside Lu Luo. He scanned her up and down and said, "I was about to ask why you're here. And what's going on with that Spirit Ghost Python?" He stared at Lu Luo's sleeve. This little girl had actually tamed the Spirit Ghost Python without any of them noticing?

Lu Luo's clear black and white eyes darted around. She giggled and said, "Although you defeated it earlier, it's very clever. Knowing it couldn't win against you, it directly shed its skin like a cicada and secretly hid. But I secretly found it. You haven't forgotten my ability, have you?"

Zhou Yuan pondered, "Beast Empathy." When they were in the Vast Expanse Continent, Zhou Yuan knew that Lu Luo had a special constitution that allowed her to communicate and sense the minds of Genesis Beasts in the world. That was what was known as Beast Empathy.

Lu Luo nodded and said, "So I found it, and then Xiao Ling obediently came with me."

Hearing her say it so casually, Zhou Yuan couldn't help but feel a bit speechless. They had spent a lot of effort dealing with this Spirit Ghost Python before, and he never expected Lu Luo to tame it with such ease. Although the Spirit Ghost Python's current strength was somewhat damaged, if it were to truly fight, ordinary chief disciples would be no match for it. Furthermore, once it merged with its phantom pythons and Lu Luo employed her Beast Empathy abilities, Zhou Yuan estimated that Lu Luo might even be able to contend with a Saint Child. This made him sigh with emotion. Among the Hundred Flowers Immortal Palace's previous team, even Tang Xiaoyan probably didn't know that the strongest among them wasn't her, but this seemingly harmless green-haired girl.

"Didn't your Hundred Flowers Immortal Palace team leave already? Why did you come back?" Zhou Yuan asked slowly.

Lu Luo's gaze first dodged away, then she seemed to recall something, puffed out her chest, and retorted, "Then why did you come back here?"

Zhou Yuan stared at Lu Luo, saying with some surprise, "It seems you..."
