"Just bear with it."
Kloer patted Jite, who was lying on the ground, and took out a dagger to dig the bullet out of his right hind leg.
Gu Ning squatted beside them with a flashlight, helping to light the area. Seeing the blade pierce the flesh, she felt a sympathetic pain in her own leg and looked away, unable to watch.
Jite didn't make a sound. He even licked Gu Ning reassuringly.
Kloer quickly extracted the bullet. A thumb-sized, bloody hole was left where Jite had been shot, blood gushing out. Gu Ning immediately sprinkled styptic powder on the wound.
She had found the powder in a small first-aid pouch in her backpack. The pouch contained gauze, cotton balls, topical ointment, and other supplies—all packed for her by Barto.
Kloer examined the bullet and asked, "This doesn't look like a military-issue bullet. Who attacked you?"
Fortunately, Beastmen were physically robust and durable; an ordinary bullet wasn't enough to easily kill them.
