Watching Cataclysm turning his head with trust, Yu Mengzhou made a decision in his heart.
You can't use the conventional hoof trimming method, it's best to just give it dry crushing.
Yu Mengzhou did it right away. He changed the pliers specially for horseshoes. Hoof cutting pliers are used for horse hooves, while nail cutting pliers are used for horseshoes.
Holding the pliers in his hand, he carefully studied the structure of the hoof crusher and found that although the size of the thing could be expanded or contracted, there were no traces of welding. It was as if it had grown out of the hoof, curled and tangled, twisted into a natural whole.
With a "crack", Yu Mengzhou tried to break a chain.
"Does it hurt?" he asked Cataclysm.
Cataclysm immediately stammered, "No, it doesn't hurt!"
Yu Mengzhou was relieved. He was afraid that there might be some interlocking mechanism inside that would cause the shattering tension to spread to the inside of the hoof. With the permission of the catastrophe, he was like a bad-tempered gardener, trimming the discordant steel weeds to his heart's content, and smashing the beautifully decorated but extremely vicious torture instruments into pieces.
After every connection was broken, Yu Mengzhou began to use the hoof knife to clean the punctured hoof, scrape off the cuticle that had grown dead with the metal, and then pull out the broken parts one by one. Soon, the fragments fell to the ground, some of which were already stuck to the flesh and blood. Yu Mengzhou pulled them ruthlessly, leaving a bloody hole.
Fortunately, the demon horse had long been accustomed to such pain. It was not until he started to pull out the cursed nails that Cataclysm began to scream and struggle uncontrollably.
"Alright, alright, it's okay, it's okay..." The two magic horses immediately rushed over to hold their companion, making sure it wouldn't move around. Yu Mengzhou coaxed the horses softly, kicked the cursed nails that had rolled to the ground aside with his feet, and then skillfully began the routine process, hooking out the foreign matter accumulated in the hoof fork, then flattening the hoof sole, repairing the bumps and making sure the hoof would not grow crooked after healing.
After the first hoof was trimmed, Yu Mengzhou used the last bit of bandage and poured out the remaining iodine tincture. Catastrophe sensed something and turned around and asked in embarrassment, "Is the medicine gone?"
Yu Mengzhou patted its forehead and comforted it, "You have to use the medicine, it's nothing."
The person next to him helped to pick up some extra silk and said, "They will be back soon. There will be no shortage of supplies."
Yu Mengzhou happily reached out his hand and touched its big head. It licked Yu Mengzhou's wrist affectionately with its tongue and wagged its tail proudly.
With the experience of dealing with the first hoof, the next three were much easier to deal with. The more he repaired, the more he felt that the Blood Butcher's cursed nails were the most difficult to remove. The first demon horse that regained its freedom was like a crack in a solid dam. After that, every time a new companion broke free from the shackles, it was like expanding the crack area, making Yu Mengzhou more and more adept at using the knife.
The delicate and ingenious torture instruments on the horse's hoof, which had been designed with great care, were all destroyed by Yu Mengzhou into four piles of metal garbage. He scraped off the dirty parts, cleaned the tiny holes in the hoof, and then tore the soft silk into thin strips to use as bandages, tied them on the repaired hoof, and wiped the sweat off his face.
