Pirates: Get the Ice Demon Slayer Magic at the beginning

Black Rock City, as a prosperous city in this future world, is not only full of technological brilliance, but also hides many conspiracies and struggles.

The city is full of tall buildings and metallic buildings, which look like a steel forest, flashing a cold and mechanical light.

Various aircraft shuttled through the city, and traffic was flowing like wildfire. The entire city seemed to never sleep, presenting a scene of extremely advanced future technology.

However, behind these dazzling appearances, the ones who truly control Black Rock City are the major families hidden in the dark. They are the source of the power behind this city.

In Black Rock City, the Bai family is one of the most prominent families.

The second master of the Bai family, Bai Shengde, as an important figure in the family, has always played the role of the Bai family's behind-the-scenes planner.

He was wearing a gorgeous silk robe inlaid with high-tech accessories that glowed with blue light, looking extremely noble.

Bai Shengde has long gray hair that is groomed very neatly, and he often has a cold and arrogant smile on his face, giving people an unfathomable feeling.

At this moment, Bai Shengde was sitting in his luxurious private club, which was decorated extremely lavishly. The floor was paved with black marble and huge crystal chandeliers hung from the ceiling, reflecting a hazy light.

Every detail of the club revealed an extreme atmosphere of wealth and power. Bai Shengde played with a glass of amber wine in his hand and stared coldly at the information presented by his subordinates.

"Second Master, it is rumored that the jade pendant on Lina is the key to unlock an ancient treasure. Recently, many forces have been eyeing it. Although the man in black is just a small character, it can be seen that more and more forces are taking action." A burly subordinate stood respectfully in front of Bai Shengde and reported in a low voice.

Bai Shengde gently shook the wine glass in his hand, a cold smile flashed in his eyes: "This jade pendant is indeed not simple, it can attract so many people's covetousness. Unfortunately, these small characters are not qualified."

The Bai family, as one of the top families in Black Rock City, has a great say in the city. As the second master, Bai Shengde is not only well versed in the power struggles within the family, but also operates a huge secret line outside.

On the surface, the Bai family runs a high-tech enterprise, but secretly controls many underground forces and maintains complex relationships with other families.

But the Bai family is not the only strong family in Black Rock City. In this city full of technology and opportunities, other families are also eyeing it, ready to fight for their interests at any time.

First is the Hong family. The Hong family is another major force in Black Rock City. They are famous for arms manufacturing and combat robots.

The head of this family, Hong Wanxiong, is a tall and strong middle-aged man with a fierce face and muscles as tight as iron towers. He relies most on the family's heavy weapons and combat robots, which are unparalleled in both combat power and productivity.

The Hong family controls half of the weapons market in Black Rock City, and many other families have to rely on equipment supplied by the Hong family.

Hong Wanxiong's son Hong Qiang is also a ruthless character. He often leads the Hong family's combat team to carry out some secret missions. Recently, the Hong family seems to have shown a strong interest in Lina's jade pendant.

Next is the Liu family, which is the controller of intelligence and resources in Black Rock City. They manage a large amount of mineral resources and are also an important part of Black Rock City's information network.

Liu Qianqiu, the head of the Liu family, is an extremely shrewd old man. Although he is old, he still controls the operation of the entire family. The power of the Liu family is hidden in the dark, but their intelligence network is everywhere.

The Liu family is obviously also ready to make a move in the fight for the jade pendant. They prefer to control it from behind the scenes and keep abreast of the movements of all families at all times.

In addition, there is the Zhao family. The Zhao family is good at scientific research and biotechnology. They control a large number of biological laboratories and high-end scientific research institutions. The head of the Zhao family, Zhao Zhenggang, is a scholar who looks gentle and refined. He wears a decent white robe and a pair of gold-rimmed glasses on his nose. He looks gentle, but he is actually meticulous.

The Zhao family he led had been researching the genes of exotic animals and human enhancement technology, and they obviously had a special interest in the rumors about the jade pendant. According to rumors, the treasure pointed by the jade pendant contained an ancient power that could transform human genes and enhance strength, which made the Zhao family particularly eager to obtain it.

Black Rock City, a city full of prosperity and technology, actually hides countless undercurrents. The open and covert struggles among the major forces are not limited to the competition of business and force, but also the game of intelligence and interests.

Now, the jade pendant on Lina's body has attracted the attention of various forces. The Bai family, Hong family, Liu family, Zhao family and other families have all turned their attention to where Lina is, and the undercurrent in Black Rock City has begun to stir.

Bai Shengde looked at the virtual screen in front of him, with a cold smile on his face. He knew that the next battle would not be easy, but he had already prepared for it.

"Hong family, Liu family, Zhao family... let you fight to your heart's content. The final winner will eventually be my Bai family." Bai Shengde sneered in his heart and drank the wine in the glass in one gulp.

He raised his finger and tapped lightly on the virtual screen. An image of a miniature tracker appeared in his sight. It was the tracking device in the jade pendant that he had someone place on Lina.

He knew that the secret of the jade pendant would attract countless ambitious people, and he was the real hunter in this hunting game.

In Black Rock City, in this huge technological metal forest, power and conspiracy are intertwined, and the collision between families and forces is gradually reaching a climax with the appearance of the jade pendant.

After a few days of fleeing, Lina gradually let go of her guard and pressure in front of Ye Fan, and became much more cheerful than before. She was no longer the girl who was always alert to her surroundings and always suppressed herself, and finally confided in Ye Fan.

The two sat in a quiet corner, surrounded by some abandoned high-tech buildings, and the air was filled with a sense of desolation and loneliness. The night gradually enveloped the earth, and occasionally the roar of strange beasts could be heard in the distance, but in this brief moment of tranquility, Lina finally found inner peace.

"Ye Fan, actually I didn't tell you the truth before." Lina's voice was a little low and a little nervous, but with a hint of relief.

Ye Fan looked up at her, his eyes calm. He had long noticed that Lina was hiding something, but he had never forced her to speak. He just nodded, motioning her to continue.

Lina took a breath and slowly told Ye Fan the secret of the jade pendant passed down from her ancestors: "This jade pendant was passed down from my ancestors. It is said that it was left by an ancestor of our family. It is not just an ordinary ornament. Through this jade pendant, you can find an ancient inheritance - the art of taming beasts."

"Beast taming technique?" Ye Fan raised his eyebrows slightly, obviously feeling a little interested in it.

"Yes, it's an ancient technique that can control exotic beasts." Lina nodded and continued to explain, "Although we humans already have extremely powerful technology in this future world, there is still a big gap compared to those top-level exotic beasts. Especially in the wilderness, the number of exotic beasts is astonishing, and many of them are terrifyingly powerful. If you can master this beast control technique, it is equivalent to having an army of exotic beasts."

Lina's eyes sparkled with hope and desire, and her voice gradually became excited as her emotions grew: "Can you imagine? If I could tame those terrible beasts, and even control them for my own use, what a powerful force that would be! Whether it's ruling a wilderness or being invincible in this city, animal taming is an unrivaled power."

As she spoke, she lowered her head slightly, as if she was thinking about something, and she was a little nervous: "I know that I concealed this matter before, and maybe you think I am not trustworthy, but this is a secret passed down from generation to generation in my family. I... I am just afraid that others will do something to me."

Ye Fan still had that indifferent expression, as if these words did not cause much impact on him.

He looked at Lina quietly, and after a while he said softly: "I understand. In this world, hiding one's true strength and secrets is actually a way to protect oneself. After all, everyone has their own difficulties."

Hearing that Ye Fan did not blame her, Lina felt relieved. She raised her head and a slightly relaxed smile appeared on her face: "Thank you, Ye Fan. Really, thank you."

At this time, Lina had completely freed herself from the previous depression and guilt. She was no longer afraid to reveal her true feelings to Ye Fan, but felt much more relaxed. The conversation between the two in the dark night seemed to completely break the barriers between them.

"However, the secret of this jade pendant is not known only to you and me." Ye Fan said calmly, his eyes as sharp as a knife.

Lina was stunned for a moment, then nodded: "Yes, I know. Many forces in Black Rock City have set their sights on the jade pendant in my hand, and they are all coveting this inheritance. Those men in black are only part of the forces, and the real danger comes from the big families in the city."

She paused for a moment, then her eyes showed a hint of determination: "But this jade pendant is the glory of our family. I must find the inheritance and cannot let those greedy families succeed!"

Ye Fan looked at her determined eyes and nodded gently: "In that case, let's go on together. No matter what the road ahead is, since you have chosen to face it, I will accompany you to the end of this journey."

Lina was deeply moved when she heard Ye Fan's promise. She leaned against Ye Fan gently, and her tired body gradually relaxed: "Thank you, Ye Fan. If it weren't for you, I might have been forced into a desperate situation by those families."

The night gradually darkened, and the silence around was broken by the low roars of strange beasts from time to time, which seemed to indicate that more dangers were waiting for them ahead.

However, at this moment, the trust and tacit understanding between Lina and Ye Fan have made them ready to face any challenge. Although they know that the road ahead will not be smooth, they already have a common goal in mind.

The legend of beast taming gave Lina hope and made her realize that no matter how powerful the family in front of her was, as long as they could obtain this inheritance, they would have the opportunity to change the entire situation.

As Ye Fan said, this world is cruel. If you want to survive in this cannibalistic society, you must become strong.

Lina is no longer the helpless girl. She is now full of fighting spirit and courage, ready to face any difficulties that may come.

In this indifferent future world, the fates of the two are intertwined as they move towards the unknown land of inheritance.

Behind them, the major forces in Black Rock City were closely monitoring their every move, waiting to factor their every step into their own calculations.
