October 24th, Frost Descent, and also the first day Zhang Yanhang entered Ashen World. At 11:50 PM, in an inner area of the small-scale Crimson Iron Ant Nest Dala Gu, a dim and cramped but corpse-strewn unnamed fork in the road.
Zhang Yanhang grabbed the head of a Crimson Iron Worker Ant in front of him and crushed it, whether it was the hard exoskeleton, the fragile fleshly tissue, or the simple ganglia that functioned as the driving brain, Zhang Yanhang instantly turned it all into a mash of meat.
A large amount of dark red thick fluid splattered high onto the surrounding walls during the crushing process, with a small part flowing out from between Zhang Yanhang's fingers, eventually dripping slowly onto the ground, merging with other dark red fluids, and forming into a narrow, dark red blood river flowing into the distance due to gravitational potential energy.
