Part 2/8:
The story begins in a small peasant village where a father and his young daughter frolic by a river. Their playtime shatters when a mysterious creature violently drags the father into the depths of the water, leading to panic among the villagers. Their fears escalate as they summon a master warrior to eliminate the creature. Following an explosive encounter, a giant stingray surfaces, seemingly ridging them of their troubles. Yet, Tang, a Buddhist monk and demon hunter, warns that their troubles are far from over, insisting the true demon remains at large. The villagers dismiss him, resulting in a frightening demonstration of the demon's vile nature as it devours a woman.
