System: You have triggered the new expansion pack "Primordial Heart."
Starmoon Kingdom Region System Announcement: A player has triggered the new expansion pack "Primordial Heart." The expansion pack will automatically descend upon the Witch's Hill in three hours. Please be prepared.
…
The system announcement echoed in the minds of Starmoon Kingdom's players. As soon as the announcement ended, Starmoon Kingdom's players began to discuss the new expansion pack.
"What's this Primordial Heart?"
"Is something big going to happen in the Witch's Hill?"
"The appearance of a new expansion pack must be a great opportunity. I wonder what changes this expansion pack will bring to the Witch's Hill?"
"If I had known, I would've gone to the Witch's Hill to develop."
Starmoon Kingdom's players focused their attention on the Witch's Hill once more. Previously, the Witch's Hill's monsters had grown stronger, and the various large Guilds had seized the opportunity to explore the Witch's Hill. As a result, only the various large Guilds and adventurer teams' enthusiasm for the expansion pack had dwindled.
Starmoon Kingdom's players weren't the only ones paying close attention to the new expansion pack. The Witch's Hill's various major powers were also frantically researching the new expansion pack. They wanted to know what changes the expansion pack would bring to the Witch's Hill.
"So, this is the condition to trigger the Primordial Heart?" Shifeng's eyes flashed with surprise as he read the system announcement.
The Primordial Heart expansion pack had appeared in the past, but it had been some time after the Otherworld Gate had opened. Now that the expansion pack had appeared, Shifeng didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
In the past, players had discovered the Otherworld Gate far too late. Back then, there had already been plenty of Tier 3 players. Let alone the various major powers, even independent players had only considered the Otherworld Gate a good place to grind for unique materials and level up. Aside from that, the Otherworld Gate didn't have much value.
Although the new expansion pack was an opportunity for players, the Primordial Heart expansion pack was of little value to them.
The Primordial Heart's appearance was due to the backlash from sealing the Otherworld Gate. As a result, many of the Otherworld Gate's monsters had entered the Witch's Hill through an unstable spatial passage. At the same time, the Primordial Energy in the Witch's Hill had grown denser. Not only had the monsters in the Witch's Hill grown stronger, but their levels had also increased significantly.
Not only were these monsters powerful, but they also contained dense Primordial Qi. As long as these monsters were killed, there was a certain chance of dropping Primordial Crystal Fragments. These fragments were condensed from Primordial Qi, and they contained incomparably violent energy. The energy of Primordial Crystals formed from Primordial Crystal Fragments was even denser.
These Primordial Crystals were one of the best materials for nurturing Life Mounts. They were even better than the Eclipse Gate's Energy Essence. After all, various monsters had ruled God's Domain during ancient times. The reason these monsters were so powerful was due to the Primordial Energy.
However, these Primordial Crystals had a flaw. Although they could promote Mounts' growth better than Energy Essences, they could only evolve to Bronze rank.
Back then, Primordial Crystals had been of little value to Level 100-plus Guild players. Most of the large Guilds' members had nurtured their Mounts to Bronze rank, while ordinary players couldn't grow their Mounts. Hence, the Primordial Heart expansion pack had been of little value to the various large Guilds' players. The Primordial Heart expansion pack was only useful if Guild members wanted to upgrade their Mounts.
However, the Primordial Crystals were a different story for the various major powers. Many of the various large Guilds now had their own Stables and could nurture their own Guild Mounts. Using Primordial Crystals to nurture Guild members' Mounts to Bronze rank would be of great help to a Guild's development.
While Common Mounts couldn't be of much help, Bronze Mounts could support players in battle. Bronze Mounts were also of much higher Movement Speed than Common Mounts.
Although the Primordial Heart expansion pack was a boon for the various major powers, it also came with a lot of trouble.
Not only would the Primordial Heart's activation double the monster density in the Witch's Hill, but it would also increase the number of Field Bosses. The Field Bosses in the Witch's Hill, in particular, would become far more difficult to raid, making it even more difficult for players to survive in the Witch's Hill. If players weren't careful, they could lose their lives in the fields.
This was especially true at night. Monsters would attack the Witch's Hill more frequently. Originally, the Witch's Hill only had a 10% to 20% chance of being attacked at night, but after the Primordial Heart's activation, that chance would increase to 20% to 35%.
While Shifeng pondered how to deal with the Primordial Heart, the Jealous Witch, who hovered in the air, began to rejuvenate.
In just a few seconds, the crouching old woman transformed into a beautiful, middle-aged noblewoman. She wore a sleeveless, pitch-black dress and a black mage's hat. She also wielded a black, jade staff. Just by standing there, she radiated an indescribable charm, and one couldn't help but turn to look at the Jealous Witch.
"Very good, young adventurer. You have helped me seal the Otherworld Gate in time, saving the Starmoon Kingdom from a calamity. You have also alleviated the curse on me. Consider this magic array design my thanks," the Jealous Witch said. She then looked at Shifeng and said, "Originally, I could've settled your matter, but after the Otherworld Gate stabilized, the Backlash has destabilized the Witch's Hill. Now, I need you to help me collect 100,000 Primordial Crystals.
"So long as you collect 100,000 Primordial Crystals, this Forging Design I worked so hard to obtain from the Ancient Shrine will be yours!"
After saying so, the Jealous Witch spread her hands, and a thick, ancient tome made of dragon hide appeared in her palm. The Dragon's Might radiated from the tome made Shifeng struggle to move. Meanwhile, several large words were written on the tome's cover, and Shifeng couldn't take his eyes off it.
Runic Armor Design!
Runic Armor Design wasn't anything special. After all, there were plenty of such designs in God's Domain. However, the Runic Armor Design before Shi Feng was an Epic Forging Design. Unlike ordinary Epic Equipment, the Runic Armor Design was standard equipment from the Ancient Shrine. It was similar to the standard equipment he had crafted for Titan City.
