When Austin got into the cave, he noticed that the ground inside was flat.
Suddenly, there was a slight bulge and gradually that bulge grew in size.
In a few moments, the flat 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 a commodious and spacious hall.
Austin was dumbstruck with amazement at the sight of the vast structure which lay 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 black 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 black 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 flash.
It looked like there was something at the bottom of the pond which was absorbing the black water.
Soon, there was only a little water left at the bottom of the pond.
Suddenly, a large 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 black and huge.
Austin finally understood what had been happening.
It was the skeleton that was absorbing the black 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 black water of the pond.
Its appearance became clearer. And finally Austin had a complete look at the skeleton.
When the demon race raised their heads and noticed that the skeleton had appeared before them completely, they started rejoicing with wild excitement.
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.
