Open the crate / Look under the crate
You give this crate the hardest punches you've got, the clangs of your sythe are echoing through the endless deserts of the 1st ring, yet, your attempts are futile, the crate was stronger.
It probably didn't have anything inside anyway, not once have you seen an open crate. Maybe they weren't even used for storage in the first place?
Make a smoothie from a Ghost
You come back to the remenants of the ghost you totally anihilated earlier.
To... Make a smoothie?... You aren't sure what that is, but if it's made from the tasteless remains of ghosts, you are certainly not trying it.
It would've been much more reasonble to turn off your automatic soul-essence collector, so that these chunks would have at least something tasty left in them.
