Bearded soldier's words made sense, and I nodded in agreement.

Since I wanted them to willingly follow me, I had to prove that I was truly capable.

These five ghost heroes wouldn't follow a cowardly person into the world.

Therefore, I needed to do something to convince them.

I asked the bearded soldier what I could help them with.

The bearded soldier said, "Help us eliminate a bad person!"

"What?!" The bearded soldier's request startled me. I was a decent young man, how could I do such a thing? It's not like their time, where everything was settled with violence!

The bearded soldier said, "Oh, sorry, I misspoke. It should be help us eliminate a bad ghost!"

I breathed a sigh of relief. That scared me. Can't you speak clearly?

I asked the bearded soldier to explain the situation in detail. The bearded soldier told me that back when they were fighting in Ghost Cry Gully, although their entire army was wiped out, they also killed many enemies. So not only were there friendly spirits here, but also many enemy ones. Naturally, there were many enemy ghosts in this place.

Among these ghosts, there was one who was a leader in his lifetime, killed many people, and after death, carried a heavy grudge and became a malevolent ghost, tyrannically ruling the area.

The most terrifying thing is that this malevolent ghost named Gang Ben Taro boosts his own power by devouring other ghosts. Each time he devours a ghost, his power increases. Over the years, Gang Ben Taro has consumed countless ghosts, making him stronger and stronger. No ghost can match him.

The ghosts here are all afraid of Gang Ben Taro. If they aren't careful, there's a danger of being devoured by him.

So, most of the time, those lone and wild ghosts stay far away, afraid of being devoured by Gang Ben Taro.

Of course, there are many warrior spirits here, including the brave soldiers like the bearded soldier and his companions, who have been resisting all along. But in terms of power, they are no match for Gang Ben Taro. Many warrior spirits have been devoured by him.

The bearded soldier and his four brothers, although willing to kill the enemy, lacked the ability to deal with Gang Ben Taro. Watching their comrades being devoured by Gang Ben Taro one by one, they felt powerless.

Today, when they met me, the bearded soldier asked me to take care of Gang Ben Taro. If I could defeat this malevolent ghost, it would prove my abilities, and they would willingly submit to me.

The narrative has been taken without authorization; if you see it on Amazon, report the incident.

As the bearded soldier reached the end of his request, he seemed to be on the verge of tears.

I listened with righteous indignation, clenching my fists tightly.

This Gang Ben Taro is indeed despicable. He caused harm in life and continued to bully others after death. Even if the bearded soldier didn't ask me, I would have a duty to eliminate this malevolent ghost!

I agreed to the bearded soldier's request, and they were all very pleased but also carried some doubts. They couldn't fully believe that I had the ability to deal with Gang Ben Taro.

To be honest, I wasn't confident about facing Gang Ben Taro either.

But since the five ghosts made the request, I had to prove myself. No matter how difficult it was, I had to face it head-on.

I touched the "Samadhi True Fire Talisman" in my pocket. As long as I had this talisman, I dared to fight against Gang Ben Taro.

I asked the bearded soldier where Gang Ben Taro's lair was.

The bearded soldier was about to take me there when suddenly, two lone and wild ghosts ran over in a panicked manner, without paying attention to their surroundings. One of them, an old man in black, accidentally bumped into the Horse-Face Ghost.

The Horse-Face Ghost grabbed the old man in black and said, "Old man Chen, what are you running from? When I left Ms. Zhang's house earlier, you were happily drinking!"

The old man Chen had a bitter expression on his face, showing fear. He said, "Gentlemen, you don't know. Right after you left, the disaster arrived. Many people have been devoured by him. The scene is chaotic. We took the opportunity to escape. We better run. I don't want to be eaten by him!"

As soon as I heard this, I knew that the "disaster" mentioned by the old man Chen must be Gang Ben Taro.

If Gang Ben Taro barged into Ms. Zhang's house while they were holding a gathering of ghosts, wouldn't it turn into a massacre?

The bald man became anxious and grabbed Chen, asking, "What about Ms. Zhang?"

Chen said, "The scene was so chaotic at the time, everyone was busy running for their lives. Who had time to care about Ms. Zhang? I'm afraid... I'm afraid he has already been devoured by that disaster!"

"Nonsense!" The bald man pushed Chen away without saying a word and ran in the opposite direction.

I knew the bald man had feelings for Ms. Zhang. He must be going all out to confront Gang Ben Taro.

The bald man couldn't afford to have anything happen to him. If something happened to him, our group of five ghosts would be incomplete.

"Brothers, let's follow them!" the bearded soldier waved his hand, and the other ghosts followed suit.

I stomped my foot and chased after them. The ghosts ran so fast, and I was panting from behind, shouting, "Wait for me... wait for me..."

Ghost Cry Gully is a large mountain valley. It takes at least two days to go around the entire gully. Although this is my third time in Ghost Cry Gully, I have only covered about a tenth or a fifth of the area.

After passing through a mountain pass, a relatively flat area appeared in front of us.

On this flat ground, there were brightly lit lanterns and dozens of large round tables set up. It was the place where Zhang's family held the banquet.

The lanterns here were made of white paper, with white candles lit inside, casting an eerie atmosphere over the mountain valley.

Looking around, a crowd of ghosts gathered, numbering at least a few hundred. The scene was quite lively.

It was just like a wedding banquet in our village, with dozens of tables set up, and the villagers gathered together to eat and drink.

I never expected these ghosts to be so particular, even having the concept of "family reunion" like ours. Today, I truly broaden my horizons.

Unfortunately, this originally joyous family reunion feast was ruined by Gang Ben Taro, that malevolent ghost.

When we arrived at the banquet scene, it was already in ruins. Hundreds of ghosts were fleeing in panic, and the sound of heart-wrenching screams echoed continuously.
