Hewlett shot out like a cannonball, colliding with a desert lizard. On the contrary, the latter's huge body rolled out.

The situation was extremely bad in an instant.

The mercenaries had already dispersed.

One against one, Hewlett could easily repel a desert lizard. However, once he was targeted by a few at the same time, he could only barely cope.

With Darlene as the center, sharp arrows shot out like blooming flowers. The arrowheads were attached with white battle qi, which could pierce through the desert lizard's body, but they didn't seem to care about such minor injuries.

The desert lizard that occasionally shot its eyeballs through its head would whine and fall to the ground.

The most awkward one was Alvin. As an assassin, he held two daggers in his hands and acted like a scout in the team.

In this kind of head-on battle, he was practically useless. His strength was not enough to break through the desert lizard's defense, and there were many of them.

"Magister, it's time for you to perform. What are you waiting for?"

Alvin's expression was unsightly as he shouted at Joelson, who was at the center of the team.

Joelson looked at him indifferently.

His cold and deep pupils made Alvin Tremble subconsciously.

For a moment, he even thought that he was being targeted by a terrifying high-level magic beast.

Damn it, how could a mage have such a terrifying gaze.

Joelson flipped his wrist, and a tungsten wood staff appeared in his hand.

The eighth-tier magic beast core at the top of the staff had long been replaced by the ninth-tier flame lion core.

Fire elementals gathered towards Joelson.

In this Gobi Desert environment, fire magic was clearly the best choice.

"Flowing fire."

Joelson said in a low voice. A blazing flame condensed into a fiery red blade and shot forward.

Hewlett, who was in an extremely dangerous situation with four or five desert lizards, only saw a fiery red flash before his eyes.

A fire blade quickly flashed past the body of a desert lizard in front of him, and the latter immediately let out a painful roar.

Sizzle sizzle sizzle...

The flames burned the skin and flesh, accompanied by the sound of a blunt blade sawing back and forth.

The huge desert lizard was cut in half from the middle, and the cut was smooth and charred.

Hewlett turned back to look at Joelson, and his eyes revealed an exciting look. he shouted loudly, "Joelson, save the others first!"

Joelson did not answer. He waved his staff gently, his movements calm and elegant.

In the next moment, dozens of huge, burning fire blades emerged from the ground and spread out in all directions.

"Fire, bloom."

The temperature in the air instantly increased by several times. Everyone subconsciously looked at Joelson, their hands moving slower.

A few terrified cries sounded.

It was the mercenaries who happened to block the path of the giant flame blade.

But when the giant flame blade arrived in front of them, it made a light turn, bypassed them, and continued to rush towards the desert lizard.

"Roar!"

More than ten low roars sounded, and more than ten huge bodies fell heavily into the sand.

The air was filled with the smell of burning.

In front of this powerful giant flaming blade, the hard shell of the desert lizard was easily cut open like a piece of paper.

After completely cutting open one of the desert lizards, the giant flaming blade dimmed slightly and continued forward until the second one was killed before it completely disappeared.

In an instant, Joelson solved everyone's crisis.

Silence.

Everyone was stunned and looked at Joelson in a daze.

Was this the power of an eighth-tier mage?!

Was an eighth-tier fire spell that powerful?!

Alvin was completely stunned and looked at Joelson.

It just so happened that Joelson was also looking at him.

A huge wave of flames rose behind him like a sea wave. It was as if Joelson was carrying flames on his back as he looked down at him coldly from above.

Alvin lowered his head in fear.

It was terrifyingly powerful, and it was extremely precise.

No matter which one it was, it was not something a tier 8 mage could do.

Joelson raised one hand, and the flames behind him surged like waves.

At this moment, it was as if he was the god of fire that had descended from ancient times.

With all the mercenaries as the center, a red ring appeared on the sand.

The flames behind Joelson flowed down and rose up along the ring, forming a wall of fire that blocked the desert lizard outside.

Hewlett looked at Joelson in shock, the knight's sword in his hand hovering in the air.

Darlene looked at Joelson with a strange look in her big eyes.

The other mercenaries were also stunned, and then they showed great surprise.

Only Alvin's face was very ugly.

When Joelson attacked, it was as if there were countless hands slapping his face.

The barbarian warrior Amberg beat his chest excitedly, carrying his double-edged battle-axe and trying to break through the wall of fire.

Joelson was slightly satisfied.

With the experience of combining water and air elements, the fusion of fire and air elements was also very smooth.

Its power was even greater than the fusion of air and water elements.

Fire elements were already explosive and violent. The addition of air elements was like a catalyst, making the destructive power even stronger.

Joelson pressed down with his right hand.

The wall of fire spread out in all directions. The Flames swept up hot sand, forcing the remaining desert lizards to retreat.

A life-or-death crisis, which Joelson defused with ease.

"Whoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo!"

Strange cries rang out.

The crowd looked over, desert lizards behind a jump out of a tall, gray-skinned people.

They were dressed in animal skins, showing strong muscles, and their long hair was tied up on their heads.

Hewlett said in a low voice, with a heavy look in his eyes, "Akenshi."

"The Akenshi wanted to be nice and warm and very friendly to the adventurers who passed by, so I went up and explained it to them."

Hewlett went up and a spear shot at him.

Hewlett dodged nimbly, holding the spear firmly in his hand.

"Nothing!"

Seeing that the mercenaries were ready to fight again, Hewlett quickly raised his hand to signal everyone to stay put.

"Woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo!"

Hewlett shouted in the same strange voice.

The leader of the Akenshi people walked out and gestured with Hewlett.

Finally, they gradually let down their guard, but there was still doubt and vigilance on their faces.

"Alright, it's clear."

Hewlett gestured for everyone to put away their weapons.

The Akenshi people slowly approached.

The leader of the Akenshi people looked at the scattered pieces of the desert lizards on the ground and pointed at Joelson. No one knew what he was talking about.

His face was filled with anger and fear.

Joelson frowned slightly and asked, "What are they talking about?"

Hewlett smiled bitterly and said, "He is saying that you are a devil. You killed many of the war beasts in their tribe. It will take them a lot of energy and time to tame a desert lizard."

After this battle, the status of Joelson in the eyes of the mercenaries was completely different. He was the strongest person who had surpassed Hewlett.
