Dominating Evolution of the Cosmos

Elizabeth was only fifteen years old now, but because of her strong talent, she had been allowed to skip several levels. As such, her talent had far surpassed a typical genius.

"Do you think we still need to collaborate?" Steve asked in a calm voice.

Lauren said with a bitter smile, "No, there is no need for you to collaborate with us."

Elizabeth's strength was unmatched among the younger generation, and the majority of the magical beasts on the hunting ground were not Elite Magical Beasts. Moreover, Lauren could see that Steve was much stronger than Elizabeth. Therefore, unless the two of them encountered a boss-level magical beast, they would not be in any danger at all. And, even if they did encounter a boss-level magical beast, they would still be able to escape.

"Let's say that we don't collaborate. Then, it would be no concern of yours that we hunt on this large hunting ground, right?" Selma asked with a laugh. Steve responded by putting up his two hands, indicating that it would be none of his concern.

Although the two parties did not collaborate, Selma and Lauren were still following closely behind Steve and Elizabeth. As they went, Steve taught Elizabeth how to hunt magical beasts, set traps, and distinguish between the types of magical beasts via their faeces.

At the same time, Lauren also shared with Selma the different ways of hunting magical beasts. Compared to Lauren, Steve did not have much experience in certain aspects of hunting. Thus, he also gained some knowledge along the way.

Despite the two parties not collaborating together, their communication was gradually increasing. Selma, taking advantage of the situation, deliberately got close to Steve, wasting no time in chatting him up.

Elizabeth looked on, a knowing smile in her eyes. In this way, the two teams approached the hunting ground and killed several magical beasts in the process.

...

Soon after this, Steve left the protected zone of the Stanlos Base Camp. They then came into the Harbolo Base Camp.

This camp base was built by the demons that had mutated from human beings. This process had taken place during the alien invasion of the Blue Star Continent, where a portion of the human beings were captured and transformed.

The aliens then exterminated the positive emotions in these human beings, leaving only the negative emotions, such as greed, anger, desire, destruction, killing intent and so on. After undergoing this transformation, the physical appearance of these newly created demons differed greatly from ordinary human beings. Yet, they still maintained a few traces of human characteristics.

Although these demons lost all positive emotions, their human reproduction systems, intelligences, and creativities were preserved. Such a dichotomy led to the demons' extreme madness, which lead them into chaos.

Meanwhile, in his gorgeous castle, Demon Collic was exceptionally irritable and angry. His sour mood was the result of his most important treasure having just been stolen. It was the treasure that had transformed him from an ignorant monster into a level-one mutated demon. Hence, it was very special and important to him.

Demons below the level of level-one mutated demon were often called monsters. The reason for this was that the negative emotions in the minds of these lower-level mutated demons were greater than their reasoning powers. Thus, they were often driven by an emotional desire to act.

In contrast, once one evolved into a level-one mutated demon, its reasoning power would be able to surpass the negative emotions to make more rational decisions. The higher the evolutionary level, the higher the demon's intellect and will power.

When Collic was still a monster, he had found the treasure. He never knew exactly where it came from, but only remembered that he had witnessed two peerless powerful beings fighting, during which, something fell out of the sky.

He had picked up the fallen item, which was the seven-colored egg. Later on, after he had evolved into a level-one mutated demon, he set up a laboratory to study the seven-colored egg.

But, he dared not set up the laboratory at the Harbolo Base Camp. After all, if he were to be discovered by the other higher level demons, they would surely steal it away from him.

He was also afraid that the demons working under him would leak the news to the higher level demons in exchange for benefits. After all, he was only one of the many level-one mutated demons in the Harbolo Base Camp, so there were many much more powerful than him.

Yet, even though he had taken such great pains to conceal his tracks, his laboratory was still discovered and even his treasure was stolen.

He watched the surveillance video of the laboratory and found out that the ones who stole the treasure were several human beings. He was so angry that he wanted to charge towards the human base camp and kill them.

But he managed to hold himself back.

Beep… Beep… Beep…

Just then, his smart bracelet suddenly let out a rapid alert sound and his facial expression changed. It was the warning alert of the treasure!

Demon Collic looked a little agitated. This alert had sounded once before, when the treasure was first stolen from the base camp.

He secretly hid the demon rune among the many runes on the shell of the seven-colored egg. Neither the physical appearance nor an analysis instrument would reveal the secret demon rune from the many runes on the seven-colored egg. Moreover, this rune was had only one function: the smart bracelet on Demon Collic could track its position.

That damn human being finally exited from the human base camp. I must kill him and take back the treasure.

This thought made Demon Collic happy, so he laughed to himself. The human base camp had a defence shield to isolate signals. But, once it was outside the human base camp, the location of the treasure could be easily located.

Demon Collic quickly opened his smart bracelet and a map appeared in front of him. The map covered a large geographical area around the two base camps.

Demon Collic saw a black spot, which was flickering non-stop on the map. He pinpointed the black spot and zoomed in on the map. The location of the black spot appeared to be very near the human base camp.

The hunting ground near the Stanlos Base Camp? Why did the man go there?

Demon Collic did not act on these new findings immediately, as he needed to be clear of the current situation first. Opening the network, he searched for the latest information about human beings, immediately finding information about the hunting ground.

The headline read: High school alliance hosts Magical Beasts Hunting parent-child activities...

When Demon Collic saw the news, he recalled what he had seen on the surveillance video of the stolen treasure...

About contracts

Hello, dear readers. I have decided to formally sign a contract with Webnovel. This means that my novel will enter Premium. The main reason that I signed the contract is because Webnovel informed me that I'll receive a minimum of $400 US dollars every month as long as I keep up a minimum word count. And, if readers pay spirit stones to read my novel, I can receive half of the spirit stones' price.

I'm not rich at all. In fact, I'm living in a relatively poor country where US dollars are quite valuable. These dollars are quite important to me, my family, and my daughter.
