The retreat of the monsters was very sudden, from the signs of escape, to the evacuation of all of them, it only took a few tens of seconds, and everyone caught up with a few stragglers, and the corpses were killed, and as for the remaining monsters, everyone didn't chase anymore.

"What's going on?" The enemy's retreat caused deep doubts among the people.

"Why did they suddenly say that they would retreat, this is completely different from their previous performance, they didn't retreat when they were 'wiped out' before, why did they run away all at once this time? It's like ......" Ivan was puzzled.

"Looks like someone is giving orders?" Alvin continued.

"That's right." Ivan nodded heavily, the situation just now made him feel like this.

"But there was no leader among the monsters before!" Said the player next to Ivan.

"......" The crowd fell into deep thought again.

In the end, everyone failed to come up with a decent conclusion, especially Rena, who remained silent and looked ashamed.

"I'm primarily responsible for this defeat." Seeing this, Alvin spoke.

When they heard this, they turned their heads to look at Alvin in some surprise.

"The main reason why we suffered losses was the mistake of the strategy of dividing our forces, overestimating the danger of this area, and finally losing men meaninglessly." Alvin said.

"You can't say that." Ivan shook his head, "When we first talked about the division of troops, none of us stood up against it, this is because we are all acting according to our habits, and the recent period of success has made all of us feel a little contemptuous. ”

"And this time it's just too special." Another said, "If it was an ordinary large group of monsters, a team of 10,000 people would be easy to get rid of, but no one expected that there would be such a large number of epic monsters here." ”

"That's right." Everyone nodded.

"If I say that, my responsibility is even greater." Alvin smiled wryly, "Actually, we encountered similar monsters before this, but I thought it was just my bad luck and I didn't raise my vigilance. ”

"Well, let's not talk about it, there's no point in discussing whose responsibility it is now." Ivan spoke at this time, "It's imperative to think about what to do next." ”

"Of course, we have to continue to explore, but this time we can't be too scattered."

"That's fine, anyway, the exploration around the node has been completed, and there is not much danger for the time being, so let's concentrate and explore one direction." Ivan said.

"The question is which direction to explore first." One person said that since he could only choose one, he could only divide the priorities.

"I have an intelligence on this issue." Rena, who had been silent, finally spoke.

"What information?" The crowd turned to look at her.

……

Rena told everyone about her encounter, and it turned out that, unlike other forces that had not gained anything, DMC players had made a valuable discovery in just over an hour.

"Companion Essence?" Everyone was very surprised, "Isn't this thing only available to nodes?" ”

"I'm not sure, the situation was urgent, and I couldn't get close to observe." Rena said.

"Maybe we're just misled by the name." Alvin said, "It doesn't have to be that the associated spirit essence of the node can only appear in the node. ”

"I think it's a bit far-fetched, but we don't know enough information right now, so it's really not appropriate to draw a conclusion."

"So there's only one ...... left," Alvin looked up, "to see?" ”

"Check it out!" Everyone nodded in unison.

……

Everyone followed the retreat route of Rena and the others, and at the same time was always vigilant for possible enemy attacks, but to their surprise, everyone did not see the previous group of monsters along the way, and they did not even find a trace.

"Go in the other direction!" Ivan made the obvious conclusion.

Everyone: "......" This is the most troublesome situation, there is no trace of the other party's retreat, which means that this side is not the other party's hometown, but the DMC people encounter them here, which means that the other party is not a monster in a fixed position, but a wandering monster, or...... Patrol monsters?

But for everyone now, this is not the point, the focus is on a monster lair not far ahead.

"It's really a companion essence!" The crowd said after seeing what was ahead.

"If nothing else, it should be right." Alvin said, pulled out the long knife in his hand, in front of the lair, there were two demigod bosses, everyone was simply assigned, Alvin was responsible for containing one, and the others took this opportunity to gather fire on the other end.

After dividing the tasks and going straight to work, Alvin rushed straight towards an epic monster on the left, with Alessia and Heloise slightly behind and following him. On the side of Ma Ta Changge, he also led a group of people to start attracting monsters.

Rumble! Ivan's cannon fired, and a monster was enraged and rushed towards him, but as soon as he was halfway through the run, he was stopped by a figure in heavy armor.

"Whew!" The boss didn't pay attention to this creature that was not even a third of his height, and waved his strong arm, trying to smash it away, but unexpectedly, his punch smashed into the "copper wall".

Boom! Ma Ta Changge stood in place and did not move a step, Ma Ta Changge now has five epic equipment on his body, although the size of the two sides looks disproportionate, but in the blocking posture, his strength is judged to be not weaker than the other party.

After an unsuccessful attack, the boss became furious, and launched a hammer strike at Ma Tre Changge one after another, which was obviously an attack skill of the opponent.

Dangdangdang...... Three consecutive attacks fell, failing to repel Ma Tread Changge once. Of course, he didn't have to move a single step, and Ma Tread Changge made a short distance of displacement in each attack interval of the opponent, avoiding the area with the most force, and then blocked. If you really want to talk about it, Ma Ta Changge doesn't have any eye-catching wonderful operations, what he shows is just a detailed operation that is accurate to the extreme. But it was with such seemingly mundane details that he managed to resist the difficult operation of the demigod boss combo skills without using any skills! It's almost a miracle. However, the players of the party did not show a look of surprise, because they had long been surprised.

The strongest person in the adventuring group is Alvin, and anyone who knows a little about this knows, but if you want to ask who is the strongest besides Alvin, the players of the adventuring party will tell you that the strongest is not the output of those powerful storms, not the healing that controls life and death, the multi-purpose necromancer, or even the Duxiao Frost Forest who sees the overall situation! In addition to Alvin, the real strongest is the obscure meat shield of Ma Ta Changge!

It is precisely for this reason that Alvin has given him preferential treatment several times, but no one has raised any objections.
