Chapter 1047 A Demon Race''s Skeleton
When Austin got into the cave, he noticed that the ground inside was t.
Suddenly, there was a slight bulge and gradually that bulge grew in size.
In a few moments, the t ground had sloped up gently.
Before Austin had entered the cave, he had seen it clearly that the cave next to the valley, was
underneath the mountain.
Something about the cave made him feel that it was a human work instead of a nature''s.
As he walked around in the cave for a while, Austin realized that he was inside the middle of the
mountain.
Austin kept walking forward carefully as he watched for any sudden movement or appearance of any
creature.
He had walked for about half an hour when he was greeted with a much wider passage.
After going ahead for a further twenty meters he came across amodious and spacious hall.
Austin was dumbstruck with amazement at the sight of the vast structure whichy open before him.
The huge hall was more ten thousand meters wide and a thousand meters high.
It was so huge that a human standing in such a hall looked as small as an ant in a room.
As Austin expected, the whole demon race seemed to be in the hall.
At the center of the hall, there was a pond which was a few hundreds of square meters.
The pond was filled with ck water. Dark smoke was emerging from the pond and blowing across the
hall.
Each member of the demon race, who was present there, had gathered around the pond and were
groveling on their knees.
The sight of hundreds from the demon race kneeling on the ground on all fours, totally stunned Austin.
Each member of the demon race was murmuring some bizarre incantation.
The incantation sounded and echoed, as if those were the cries from hell. The cries seemed to
possess darkness and evilness.
The humming of the incantation echoed in the hall and sent a chill down Austin''s spine.
As the demon race kept murmuring the incantation, the ck water in the pond slowly began to form
ripples and then it looked as if it was boiling.
Then the roiling water started receding off, as if the plug of the pond was pulled away.
Half of the pond water disappeared in a sh.
It looked like there was something at the bottom of the pond which was absorbing the ck water.
Soon, there was only a little water left at the bottom of the pond.
Suddenly, arge skeleton appeared inside the pond.
Dozens of iron chains, as wide as bulky arms, had shackled the skeleton tightly. Those chains
extended and were fixed to the earth under the pond.
The skeleton was trapped by those iron chains. It had been held to the bottom of the pond as if
imprisoned.
Obviously, it was not a human skeleton.
The skeleton was about four to five meters tall. Every bone of the skeleton was ck and huge.
Austin finally understood what had been happening.
It was the skeleton that was absorbing the ck water of the pond.
That was a demon''s skeleton!
And all the members of the demon race were present there as they were worshiping the skeleton.
The skeleton had slowly absorbed all the ck water of the pond.
Its appearance became clearer. And finally Austin had aplete look at the skeleton.
When the demon race raised their heads and noticed that the skeleton had appeared before them
Fanatical admiration was sparkling in their eyes as they looked at the skeleton.
''Why are they acting like that?
Does the skeleton have something special in store for them?''
Austin wondered as the scene before his eyes, totally surprised him.
The next moment, something, which was far more surprising, happened in front of his eyes.
All of a sudden, one member of the demon race stood up and walked towards the pond.
He stretched out a finger, and using his sharp nail to slit his wrist.
The line left by his nail on the dark, wrinkled skin started spurting out purple blood. He let the blood fall
into the pond.
It surprised Austin because before the purple bloodnded on the pond, the skeleton had already
absorbed it totally. There was not even a drop left.
So, the purple blood fell on the skeleton and formed a thinyer over the skeleton.
After a while, he pressed on his wrist with the other hand to stop the bleeding. Slowly he stepped back
and again knelt down on all fours. He began murmuring the strange incantation again.
Soon, another one of the demon race stood up and repeated the same thing.
One by one, the skeleton was absorbing more and more purple blood being offered by those members
of the demon race.
It took a few moments for Austin to realize what was happening.
He was shocked to observe that flesh began growing on the skeleton''s bones.
Gradually some parts of its body regained muscles and tendons.

Those iron chains, however, had some abstruse runes which were sparkling around them at the same
time.
Those shining runes flew into air and fell on the skeleton''s bones.
As soon as the runes touched the muscles growing on the bones of the skeleton, the muscles and flesh
began to melt, like snow melted under the sun.
It angered the skeleton and it began to roar every time it happened.
It started trembling as if struggling against the runes in pain.
Seeing the movement and sounds made by the skeleton, Austin''s jaw dropped in shock.
''The skeleton is still alive!'' Austin was baffled by all that he saw happening before him.
Slowly, he understood what the demon race was doing.
They were trying to use some mysterious spell to bring back the skeleton to life.
More and more runes kepting from the iron chains and fell on the skeleton. The runes kept melting
the flesh as soon as it started to grow.
When the members of the demon race saw that, uncontroble rage rose in their chests.
Suddenly, one of them, who was probably of a higher rank, waved his hand and gestured to his
Soon, five members of the demon race stood up and left for the area near the pond. When they came
back, they were carrying a huge bucket.
Roiling bloody water was filled the bucket. It kept bubbling up. Austin could tell that the water inside the
bucket was extremely hot.
The five members of the demon race stopped in front of the pond.
Quickly they poured the water into the pond.
As soon as the scarlet water touched the iron chains, green smoke gushed out from the chains, as if
they were being corroded by the water.
A few momentster, everyone realized that the runes from the chains became lesser and weaker.
Austin knew that those iron chains had been destroyed and wouldn''t work now to hold back the
skeleton.
When the demon race saw that happening, they started cheering up.
Then they continued what they had being doing before. One by one, they kept standing up and cutting
their wrists in front of the pond.
As the skeleton kept absorbing more and more purple blood, new flesh began growing around its
bones.
A strange, formidable force appeared around the hall. It was faint but insidious.
The force sent a chill through Austin. His instinct told him that the force was perilous and destructive.
Austin guessed that once the skeleton came back to life, it would definitely be an invincible being.
When this thought crossed his mind, Austin frowned with fear.
He was now feeling suffocated by the pressure of the formidable force. He couldn''t imagine what would
happen if the skeleton fully came back to life.
Austin had no doubt that the skeleton would have the power to kill him as easily as blinking an eye.
He could never let such a thing happen. He had to stop the demon race right now from resurrecting the
skeleton.
Austin clenched his teeth and made up his mind.
Slowly he moved one hand of his and took out his ughtering Sword from the Space Ring. It was the
right time to strike. He knew that, once the skeleton took shape and form, then destruction would be
inevitable. His life was also as stake now!
