The skeletal bird in front of Sam has red energy around it.
It seemed like the other party might have fought with this creature and then escaped after realizing its regeneration. Then he or she might have encountered the minotaur and the person fighting the minotaur, which finally resulted in the current situation.
Sam dodged the coming bird for a couple of minutes as he organized his thoughts.
After that, he made a decisive move. He used the spatial blink to disappear from there. The Skeletal bird that wanted to tear him apart halted in mid-air and looked around in confusion. It started moving around in that area, but was unable to sense Sam.
After a couple of minutes, it halted once again and looked in one particular direction, before taking that route.
