The horse hoof is a delicate part with tendons and ligaments connecting the hoof bone, hoof pad and hoof joint. Compared with the hard hoof wall and hoof bottom, the internal structure requires extra careful attention.
Yu Mengzhou was able to knock out and pull out the copper nails on the outside, but he felt powerless when faced with the nails that had already been deeply embedded in the hoof bones.
Although the hoof crusher of Cataclysm is horrible in shape, it only has a thick and long beam to support its core. As long as it can be unscrewed, it is basically half successful. However, these torture instruments distributed on Ether's hoof are all independent individuals. Cataclysm may only have to endure the piercing pain once, but Ether will have to endure it many times.
Yu Mengzhou sighed countless times, fortunately they were all magic horses, and could endure such fatal torture...
"Ether?" Yu Mengzhou suddenly had an idea. "Have you ever, I mean, you were all born from the magma in the earth's core and can control fire, right? Have you ever tried to melt these nails?"
"We have tried," Aether said sullenly, "We have tried everything you can think of, but once the cursed nails are set, there is no way to break free unless their owners are willing to give up."
Yu Mengzhou nodded and began to pry off the curse nails on its hooves one by one.
Ha, his skills in dealing with the cursed nails are becoming more and more proficient. According to the custom of Hell, he should be given a title like "Cursed Nail Conqueror", right
"Try again now?" he asked. "These remaining nails are all driven into your bones. Feel them... Oh, you can't feel them. Anyway, I feel that they are dead. Burn them. Maybe you can melt them."
Ether hesitated for a moment: "Then you have to get out of the way."
Yu Mengzhou stood further away as he was told. A platinum-colored fire instantly ignited on one of Ether's front hooves. The temperature was so high that even the surrounding flowers and trees became scorched and shrunken, and the moist soil quickly dried up and cracked.
The copper nails made an unbearable, squeaking sound as they melted. Yu Mengzhou had sharp eyes and immediately noticed that they were showing signs of softening.
"Alright, alright! It works!"
The raging fire gradually died down. Braving the afterglow of the rolling heat wave, he rushed forward with pliers wielding like a firefighter charging. Yu Mengzhou pulled the red-hot copper nail as if it were a piece of easily shaped soft candy, and with just a little force, he pulled it out easily.
"Not bad," Yu Mengzhou was delighted, "This trick works!"
Ether swung his tail, very excited. Yu Mengzhou bent the hoof to take a closer look and found that after removing the magic circle made of copper nails, a circle of dense holes was left on it, still in the shape of a magic circle.
However, this was much easier to handle. He took out the hoof knife and scraped the hoof surface thoroughly, flattening all the holes caused by the torture instrument until the clean cuticle underneath was exposed, then scraped out two brand new hoof forks, and finally, used hoof clippers to trim the shape of the hoof tip and grind out a non-sharp arc, which would make the hoof leave the ground easier and faster.
He and Ether worked together in the same way to quickly finish the remaining three hooves.
The chlortetracycline ointment had been used up long ago, and the medicine the magic horses found for him was a translucent green ointment. Yu Mengzhou tried to apply it on his hand, and it felt very cool, which must be a good medicine, so he squeezed a bunch of it into the wound without hesitation, and then wrapped it with light and thin gauze cut into strips - the palace was full of such white gauze that looked like fairy fluttering, and Yu Mengzhou was really happy to see it, this is good, there is also a replacement for the bandage!
