These six people had been scorched by fire until their mouths were dry and their tongues parched, nearly dehydrated. Just now, when Ye Qing mentioned giving them water, every single one of them perked up a little. Now that the water was brought before them, all six tilted their heads back as far as possible, desperately gulping down the water. The way they drank looked just like someone who had been running in the desert for several days without a drop of water.
With a bowl of light salt water downed, the spirits of these six men improved somewhat. Including the two who were gasping for breath just earlier, a bit more vigor could now be seen in their eyes—it was evident they had really been severely dehydrated just now.
