After accepting the mission, the Qin Chuan team headed straight for Azshara's Eye without stopping.

There are no other players seen at the dungeon entrance here.

At the entrance, Qin Chuan observed for a moment and found traces of tentacles spreading in the nearby area, and occasionally dead bones could be seen scattered in the grass.

Jing frowned, carefully observed the surrounding environment, and said nervously, "It looks eerie here."

Tiga Lingyu walked forward, took Jing's hand and said, "Jing Meimei Don't be afraid, I will protect you."

Water God walked to the side and squatted down, stared at the ground carefully for a moment, pointed at the mucus on the ground and said, "These traces seem to be left by aquatic animals, but this is land."

Qin Chuan said, "There is Naga to the north of Feather Moon Fortress. This copy is also dominated by Naga. It is estimated that they are a group. And Tis Feather Moon asked us to investigate the mutation. I think there is a connection."

Xiao nodded in agreement, then waved his hand nonchalantly. "Don't worry about the dungeon settings, I can't wait to get ready."

Ever since experiencing the dungeon flow, Xiao has lost interest in regular play, it's too slow.

Qin Chuan was not in a hurry, looked at the surrounding environment, and thought secretly.

In his previous life, he also refreshed the copy of Azshara's Eye, but he vaguely remembered that there were no tentacles.

Of course, it's possible that he came in late and the tentacle-related incidents had already been resolved.

Or maybe there is simply no abnormality found.

In this life, he is progressing faster and may make different discoveries.

Speaking of tentacles, the first thing Qin Chuan thinks of is Ancient God Ruins seen in the Soder Black River.

However, the big eyeball in the ruins was instantly destroyed by Fate of Darkness and should not be able to continue to corrode Naga.

Qin Chuan's heart moved.

Could it be that the source of corrosion is not Soder Black River, but the copy of Azshara's Eye?

Under normal circumstances, changes to the copy come from the outside world.

Because of the special nature of the copy, it is difficult for it to undergo fundamental changes.

Players usually follow the instructions given by the NPC, complete the task step by step, and finally discover the affected copy, then eliminate the BOSS, submit the task and receive rewards, and everyone is happy.

Qin Chuan originally thought so too.

But now, he has a different view.

The core of the Naga mutation that occurred near Feather Moon Fortress may be Azshara's Eye.

Gathering his mind, Qin Chuan said, "Let's advance to the copy."

Then select the Nightmare Tier difficulty and bring others in.

As soon as he entered the dungeon, Qin Chuan heard a whisper from an unknown source. Looking at the status bar, he saw an eyeball icon.

[You have been followed]

Qin Chuan remembered that when he killed the aberrant Naga Chief, a Choice Quest was triggered. At that time, he severely rejected Naga Chief's solicitation and killed him with a flying knife.

The reward for that mission is Ancient God Attention degree +10.

At that time, I even complained about what kind of reward this thing was.

Now as soon as I enter Azshara's Eye, I am stared at. It is obvious that there is also the atmosphere of Ancient God here.

Qin Chuan looked at Tiga Lingyu and the others and found that there was nothing unusual about them, and they did not mention anything about being noticed.

"It seems that the smell of Ancient God here is not very strong."

Qin Chuan secret channel.

It is also possible that the relevant breath is not activated and is in a hidden and sleeping state.

While thinking about it, Xiao was already eager to give it a try. Looking at the Naga guards patrolling in the distance, he said excitedly, "There are many melee monsters, so a wave of them should be no problem."

Before Akatsuki could set off, Tiga Lingyu pointed at the giant Water Elemental in the distance and said, "That should be the final BOSS. It seems to be imprisoned. I guess I have to defeat the previous BOSS before it can be activated."

Qin Chuan took over, "Each BOSS guards an altar, and three altars need to be activated to unlock the final BOSS."

Xiao felt a little regretful. "Ah, we can't let it go all at once."

Qin Chuan shook his head. "It's still possible. Xiao first pulls the first three bosses and mobs over, and then Water God, Tiga Lingyu and Mirror, the three of you go activate the altar and come back to gather together. This can save a lot of time."

"President, I'm going."

Akatsuki said hello, started sneaking and walked forward.

Taking advantage of this time, Qin Chuan continues to observe the copy situation.

In addition to being watched, he could hear Ancient God whispering from time to time.

Soon, Qin Chuan discovered something.

He clearly remembered that when he first entered the dungeon, the monsters in it were all normal Naga.

But now, these Naga have distortions.

There are varying numbers of tiny tentacles on their chins, and their limbs are also transforming towards the tentacles.

There is no doubt that these Naga are also corroded.

And the closer to the center of the copy, the more obvious the Naga corrosion there is.

The imprisoned giant Water Elemental in the center has the most serious distortion and has turned into a mass of dark red flesh that is constantly twisting.

A steady stream of dirty energy seeped into the pool beneath it, continuously contaminating the entire copy.

In Qin Chuan's field of vision, the BOSS's name changed slightly.

[Imprisoned Water Elemental(light pollution)]

Qin Chuan really wants to know, from Water Elemental to Flesh Monster, can this also be called mild pollution?

What does it look like to be moderate or even severe?

However, the hint of mild pollution also made Qin Chuan realize that this Water Elemental BOSS was not the source of pollution.

Qin Chuan looked down and looked at the pool under the BOSS.

[Pool of Corruption]

Under the influence of Void-Piercing Eye, Qin Chuan clearly saw the name of the pool, which verified his guess.

The source of pollution does come from this pool.

"Speaking of which, it seems that the copy of Azshara's Eye was finally blown up, and the entire area of dozens of miles around turned into a deep pit. Soder Black River merged here to form Soder Black Lake."

Qin Chuan thought secretly.

Many inconspicuous details in my previous life, when I think about it now, reveal something unusual.

For example, why did Azshara's Eye explode?

At that time, players generally believed that too many dungeons caused an energy imbalance, which in turn caused the dungeons to fail.

In addition, it was already Apocalypse Descent, and monsters were running around in the real world. The bombing of a dungeon did not attract much attention.

Looking back at this time, I'm afraid it was Ancient God who was behind it, trying to break through the seal.

Taking a deep breath, Qin Chuan felt that the fog in front of his eyes dispersed a little.

Obtaining Void-Piercing Eye indeed gave him many new clues.

While thinking, Xiao's call came from the distance, "President, I'm back."

Behind Xiao, Hu Lala followed countless Naga.

In the eyes of Qin Chuan, they are just a bunch of twisted monsters.

This scene makes people's scalp numb.

I don't know how Xiao would feel if he knew that he had attracted such a bunch of things.
