Jiang Kai followed Hu Yan to the cemetery he had mentioned earlier.
In an underground tomb, they found Ruan Yu.
Ruan Yu was still asleep, lying on the ground in disheveled clothes, snoring loudly.
Floating in midair before him was a black treasure jade. From the jade extended dozens of black beams of light, which formed a cage.
Inside the cage were more than thirty female ghosts with barely anything covering them.
What was surprising, however, was that all of these female ghosts were extremely beautiful.
Trapped helplessly in the cage, the female ghosts' eyes were filled with resentment. They did not dare approach the edges of the cage. When they looked at Ruan Yu through the bars, their faces were filled with fear.
"Captain Kai, these female ghosts don't have physical bodies. Originally, each and every one of them looked terrifying, but later Ruan Yu came. You know Ruan Ghost's taste, it's pretty unusual. Ordinary beauties don't interest him much anymore."
Jiang Kai nodded deeply in agreement. Ruan Ghost's interests had long since changed. Simply put, ordinary human women could no longer satisfy him.
"But these female ghosts all look pretty good," Jiang Kai said in confusion.
Hu Yan sighed. "They were forced by Ruan Ghost. They figured out his preferences. To escape Ruan Ghost's clutches, they had no choice but to change their appearance and make themselves look a bit prettier."
Jiang Kai was completely shocked!
What kind of monster was Ruan Ghost, to actually force female ghosts to this extent!
Look at these pitiful female ghosts, huddled tightly together, eyes full of sorrow, trembling all over!
"What exactly did Ruan Ghost do to them?"
Hu Yan sighed, stayed silent for a long time, then finally said three words with grief and indignation, "Striptease!"
"Once he caught them, they had to dance all night. If they didn't dance, he'd kill them!"
"Damn! What a pervert!" Jiang Kai exclaimed in shock.
Good thing this guy was on their side. Otherwise, he'd definitely be some kind of twisted final boss villain!
"This guy got here only a few days ago and already obtained this treasure artifact, the Cage Jade. Besides imprisoning opponents, it has an even stronger binding effect on ghosts." Hu Yan looked at the black jade and said, "The female ghosts here don't dare provoke him at all now."
"Then hasn't he run into commander-level or king-level ones?"
Hu Yan shook his head. "Probably not. After he caught these elite battle-general ones, he got completely carried away here, indulging in wine and women all day, not training anymore, so he never encountered them."
"What a talent!" Jiang Kai said sincerely.
After introducing Ruan Ghost's recent situation, Jiang Kai and Hu Yan looked at the female ghosts in the cage, a trace of pity rising in their hearts.
Being tormented by Ruan Ghost for so long, they were truly pitiful.
Thinking of this, Jiang Kai directly used the Divine Might Aura to cleanse Ruan Yu's drunken state.
This guy slowly woke up and saw Jiang Kai and Hu Yan standing in front of him.
"Huh? Why are you two here? Damn it, why are there so many female ghosts here! And they're all pretty good-looking!" Ruan Yu was startled by the female ghosts he himself had captured.
Hu Yan and Jiang Kai exchanged a glance. When this guy was awake, he was at least a normal person.
"Why are they here? You don't know?" Hu Yan narrowed his eyes at Ruan Yu.
Ruan Yu thought for a moment, as if he remembered something…
"Seems like… I caught them… Wait!" As he spoke, Ruan Yu hurriedly got up and found a few words carved into the ground with a sword.
[If you wake up, don't kill the female ghosts. They are your source of happiness!]
The handwriting was Ruan Yu's own. It seemed that when he was drunk, he had reminded himself not to do anything once he sobered up…
"Impressive," Jiang Kai said sincerely. "Put away your Cage Jade. Stop being happy and come with us."
"Oh…" Ruan Yu scratched his head and replied foolishly, then lowered his head to pack up his things.
"What about these female ghosts?" Hu Yan looked at the terrified female ghosts. Without the cage's restraint, they still stood there, not daring to run.
Jiang Kai sighed. "Let them go. They're pretty pitiful."
Jiang Kai led Hu Yan and Ruan Yu as they rushed forward at high speed, coordinating with Hu Yan's Wind Whisper Spell.
As long as they avoided king-level and map-level bosses, if they encountered any other wild beasts, the three of them could easily one-shot them. In just two days, the three made it back to the safe zone.
According to the agreement, He Shishi had already brought all the guild members who were tier three and tier four but not yet max level to the safe zone.
Aside from a small number of ascetics who couldn't be found, a total of 103 people had gathered.
All of them had brought sufficient supplies and were resting in a large campsite.
They didn't know what they were supposed to do next and could only wait idly in the camp.
Such a big move by the Main God Guild attracted the attention of several nearby squads.
"What is Main God trying to do? These people are practically all of Main God's high-end members, right?"
"Heh, high-end members? Put them in our guild and they'd all be bottom-tier. Might as well go back to selling goods and working odd jobs."
"Main God is really interesting. After producing Hu Yan and Ruan Yu, they went all out recruiting non-combat professions. Bringing so many non-combat professions to the safe zone without enough people to carry them, are they planning to open shops here to make money?"
Hearing the surrounding chatter, a surge of anger rose in He Shishi's heart.
Although the guild leader of Main God was Jiang Kai, it could be said that Main God's current scale had been built by He Shishi herself!
Seeing others mocking them sarcastically from the sidelines, He Shishi immediately stepped forward to argue with them.
After all, He Shishi was a God of War, and she was fiercely protective of Main God's people. The other squads finally didn't dare to openly ridicule Main God anymore.
Back at the camp, He Shishi saw the guild members hanging their heads, low on morale. She shook her head and gathered everyone together.
"What are you all doing? Just because others said a few words, you've lost confidence?"
A tier-three geomancer said with a miserable expression, "Guild Leader, actually… what they said isn't entirely without reason."
"Even Hu Yan, the number one geomancer, I've observed Fire God Squad's battles. He only plays a support role."
"Yeah, we don't even know what our future development will look like…" others echoed.
He Shishi shook her head. "I admit that everyone's development is unknown. Different talents, skill combinations, and advancement paths will all affect your future growth."
"But I hope you don't belittle yourselves. The guild spent so much manpower and resources to raise you to tier three and tier four not so you could doubt yourselves, but so you could overcome difficulties and carve out your own paths!"
"Don't forget, even though our Main God is small, every person who enters our guild has gone through strict selection. Your talent and character have all been tested by us!"
"In the past, leveling up and advancing were just dreams for you. Now the opportunity is right in front of you. If a few casual remarks from others can defeat you, how will you fight against your own fate? How will you explore the ultimate form of your profession?!"
The geomancer looked at He Shishi in astonishment. "Guild Leader, you… you believe in us?"
"Of course!" He Shishi said decisively. "I believe in you, and you must also believe in me and believe in the Main God Guild!"
"Our Main God will sooner or later become a top-tier guild in Huaxia!"
Encouraged by He Shishi, the negative thoughts among the crowd disappeared.
At that moment, a voice suddenly rang out.
"Well said!"
Everyone turned around in surprise and saw three people walking into Main God's camp.
"It's the Guild Leader! And the number one geomancer Hu Yan, and the number one Wine God Ruan Yu?!"
Jiang Kai looked at everyone and smiled slightly. "Brothers and sisters, let me add one more thing. Believe in your own profession!"
"In Ghost Star, there are no weak professions. If there are, it's not because the profession is weak!"
"I dare say that at the same level, eight out of ten martial trainees or soldiers would lose if they ran into Hu Yan and Ruan Yu!"
"If you still have doubts, that's fine. You'll naturally see their strength next. By then, the doubts in your hearts will be resolved."
Looking at the number of people gathered, Jiang Kai walked up to He Shishi. "Shishi, looks like the numbers are about right. I'll take them with me."
He Shishi frowned, clearly still uneasy. "Are you sure you want to take this many people?"
Jiang Kai shrugged. "Time is tight. I only have half a month."
He Shishi said, "Even if you're strong enough, where are you taking them to level up? The number of beasts there wouldn't be enough to support such a huge experience demand."
Jiang Kai smiled faintly. "Who says there isn't? The unknown regions. More monsters than people. That's the best leveling ground."
"Un… unknown regions? Are you crazy?" He Shishi almost shouted.
"Don't worry about it. Wait half a month for me to come back," Jiang Kai said, then led Main God's hundred members straight out of the safe zone.
