Ma Zi and the others had no idea what was happening. They only felt a chill sweep over their heads.
He looked up and met a pair of scarlet eyes hanging in the darkness.
They weren't the eyes of a beast. They were more like two pools of congealed blood, roiling with endless resentment and a... hunger beyond words.
Ma Zi's muscles instantly stiffened. He felt as though his blood had frozen, and a panicked pressure built in his bladder.
"R-run... Run!"
A thin, tall man screamed from farther away. His voice sounded like a chicken being strangled, shrill and distorted. Desperately clutching the rope, he tried to climb up.

the female corpse silently twisted around in midair and shot straight toward him.
It moved so fast that all Ma Zi and the others saw was a blurry, ghastly-white streak.
Ma Zi clearly saw the female corpse's enormous hand, its knuckles twisted like dead branches, close around the man's head with ease.
