Chapter 374: Mission accomplished

An hour later, the shouting and screaming behind Xu Lin was still continuing, but there was only one ghost left in front of him.

This ghost was different from other ghosts. Xu Lin discovered that this ghost had a layer of golden light of merit on its body.

Considering his merits, he should not have died in a foreign land.

"Old man, do you have any unfulfilled wishes?"

"Master, I am sorry for being rude." The ghost clasped his fists towards Xu Lin and smiled bitterly.

"You should have saved my soul, so I should be grateful and not have any other requests. That's true."

The ghost smiled bitterly, "My surname is Wu. I was a student who went abroad to study in the 1930s. I was obsessed with academics all my life.

After the founding of the People's Republic of China, I wanted to use what I learned throughout my life to serve my motherland, but I had to survive many dangerous situations before I could escape to this place. Alas!"

The old man sighed, his heart full of sorrow. He thought that all the hardships he had endured along the way were nothing.

Unfortunately, those good men died in a foreign land in order to protect him back to his country. They originally collected the ashes of the deceased and wanted to bring them back to Dragon Country.

Unexpectedly, the pirates did not even let go of the ashes and threw them into the boundless seabed together with their bodies.

"Master, I don't ask for much. I just hope you can help me bring the ashes of those good men and my life's research back to Dragon Country."

After saying this, the ghost once again performed a great gift, but this time Xu Lin did not accept his gift. She dodged and asked:

"I can take them back to China, but where are the ashes? Where is your research data?"

"Master, I hid the ashes in a cave halfway up the cliff. My research data is also hidden there."

The ghost was afraid that Xu Lin would misunderstand, so he quickly said, "I can take those things up and give them to the immortal master. Please just take them back."

"Well, do you have any other wishes?" Xu Lin asked, deeply moved. She didn't expect that the old man didn't even make a wish for her.

"I." The ghost smiled bitterly, with tears in his eyes. He wanted to ask Xu Lin to tell his old mother that she was well.

But, after so many years, I’m afraid my mother is no longer alive.

He wanted to send a message to his wife and children, but they had already sacrificed their lives on the road to protect him.

He seemed to have no one to care about.

"You still have a grandson alive. The child was born to your eldest son's girlfriend. The mother and child now live in the United States."

Xu Lin was not a nosy person, but she didn't want to see an old man who cared so much about his motherland become helpless and without anyone to wish him good health.

"If you have something to give them, I can help you get it done."

"Really?" The ghost's hands trembled with excitement, and two lines of blood and tears flowed down his face. He muttered to himself, "It is my Wu family that has let them down.

If I hadn’t insisted on returning to China, they wouldn’t have broken up. ”

The ghost lowered his head and silently wiped the tears from his face. He was about to leave, and he had to think about what to leave for them mother and son.

Money? He doesn't have any either.

It must be an heirloom. The Wu family's heirloom had been stolen by pirates long ago and was not left here at this time.

After thinking about it, the ghost realized that he had nothing to leave for them, which made him even sadder.

"Your research should be very useful to the motherland. I think the motherland will give you rewards. If you don't object, I will give those rewards to them, okay?"

Xu Lin looked at the self-blaming ghost and took the initiative to propose a solution. She thought that it didn't matter even if the reward from the country was small.

Anyway, she is not short of money, so the worst that can happen is that she can just make up for it.

The ghost raised his head suddenly, a glimmer of hope flashed in his eyes, and he nodded heavily at Xu Lin, "Okay, okay, that's great."

"Thank you, Master. Please wait a moment, I will bring their skeletons up." He said as he prepared to float down.

"I'll go with you." Xu Lin took out a talisman and stuck it on her body, "Please lead the way, old man."

"Okay, okay, the immortal master wants to see you." The ghost quickly led the way, and was shocked to see Xu Lin floating slowly descending beside him.

The abilities of this immortal master are truly beyond imagination.

Soon, a man and a soul arrived at the cave in the middle of the cliff. The cave was not big, only about ten square meters, and it was a naturally formed cave.

There were several skeletons and six urns in the cave. There were no names on the urns, so the ghost floated to the urns and introduced them one by one.

Xu Lin felt something was wrong as she listened. She discovered that the urns and the names did not match. There were only six urns, but there were eleven names.

After questioning, we found out that six of them did not leave any bodies behind, they just put each other's clothes into the urn.

After returning to Dragon Kingdom, we will build tombs for them respectively.

Unfortunately, none of them were able to return to Dragon Kingdom.

The bones on the ground include those of the ghosts, those of his sons who escorted him back home, and the corpses of his ghostly family members.

Placed together with the ghost's corpse were the corpses of his old wife and young son.

Unfortunately, none of the five members of their family survived.

Xu Lin wrote down their names one by one, and the ghosts also told what they knew about their situations, hoping that one day the heroes would be able to return home in glory.

Xu Lin put the bones and ashes into the space talisman, then looked at the ghost. The ghost nodded at Xu Lin and began to rummage in a corner of the cave.

It didn't take long for him to dig out a box. "I stole this box from the pirates' den after I gained strength.

I didn’t know where to hide it, so I buried it here.”

The ghost touched the box, his eyes filled with reminiscence, and finally pushed the box towards Xu Lin.

"Thank you for your help, Master. I hope our motherland can use it."

"You are too polite. I will definitely fulfill my mission."

Xu Lin made the promise with a firm look in his eyes, and the ghost nodded with a smile. He believed in the words of the immortal master. If the immortal master couldn't do it, then no one in this world would be able to do it.

Xu Lin put away the box and floated to the top of the cliff with the ghost. After sending the old man into the ghost gate, Xu Lin turned around with murderous intent.

Damn pirates, damn pirates, they are dead, not a single one can be left alive!

The one-eyed dragon, who didn't know he had been sentenced to death, was cursing in the hall. He suffered too much loss in this battle.

Those sailors either fled or died, and now there are only a dozen of them. What can they do with such a small number of people?

The most important thing is that more than half of his brothers were killed or injured, and he needed more people right at that time. How could the One-Eyed Dragon not be angry?

If you want to die, wait until he has arranged everything.

Advisor Wen stood below and didn't dare to say anything. The angry One-Eyed Dragon was not someone to be trifled with. That guy would really explode and kill people.

Even for the sake of your life, you can't interrupt me at this time.

The other pirates were so angry that they dared not make a move. They also believed that they were careless. How could they have given those bastards the chance to escape?

"Brother, why don't we just kill those people? We still have a few more to do and then catch the sailors."

Er made the suggestion with a ferocious look on his face, which scared the dozen or so sailors kneeling in the hall and made them tremble.
