Crisis(2)
As Sam was feeling panicked on which way he should flee when he heard birds squawking above his head.
The flaming sparrows had noticed the trespasser. Sam looked up and saw birds whose colour looked the same as sparrows from Earth but the size was that of an adult crow circling high in the skies and calling for other sparrows.
Unlike the cute sparrows on Earth, these monsters were carnivorous and had fire ability. They could spew fire like dragons and loved to eat roasted food by their fire. But thankfully these were not aggressive until you enter their territory to provoke them which exactly Sam did! If anyone did enter its territory even without doing anything, they would chase the trespasser to death!! Moreover, there was numerous level 3 flaming sparrows and probably higher level around in their nest.
This was the reason why Flaming Sparrow territory was strictly prohibited by the military.
Sam knew that it was futile to run anymore since he was going to be chased to death!
He sat under a tree and exchanged as many paper scrolls as he could and drew various animals and himself roughly on it as fast as he could.
"Squak"
"Squak"
After some minutes Sam looked up to see a flock of birds had arrived at a distance. Sam fiercely glared at them as he took out paper scrolls of paperwolf and threw them towards the distance. He controlled them and attacked the beasts with its wind blade ability.
Swish~
Swish~
One after one bird fell at the attack. Seeing this the flaming sparrows went mad. They rushed down throwing fireballs to destroy the paperwolves.
"System, will the paper scrolls get burnt my fire?" asked Sam anxiously.
*Negative host. You can be sure of that! It won't get burnt!* replied the system coolly.
Sam sighed at the confirmation.
He took out his crossbow and a paperbull and rode on it and controlled it to run away. His thoughts were simple. It was to ride on the bull and shoot the beasts while the paperwolf distracted them.
Sadly for him, a part of the enraged bird followed him throwing fireballs from the distance, one of which almost made Sam bald!
Sam was furious as he kept shooting his crossbow to kill them one after another, which resulted in more attacks.
It was like a never-ending cycle and Sam was almost exhausted killing two-third of the flock that followed him. He was out of crossbows too.
*Ding*
*Due to the host being more than 200 metres from the location of paperwolves, so the host will lose control of them and they will become obsolete.*
"Huh?" Sam was confused. It took it bloody 1 minute after the system's explanation to understand him.
He quickly took out another handful of paperwolves and let them play with the remaining flaming sparrows.
Meanwhile, he stirred the paperbull to run faster towards the south while he stabilized himself on it and started sketching on the scrolls.
He decided that he would draw a fire dragon.
Sam's sketch was on its halfway when he heard the system's mocking remark.
*Host should draw things that match host's weak cultivation and limits. Don't draw anything which is beyond your capability now!!*
Sam blushed and he threw it away grudgingly.
He drew big avian birds with wind and fire ability in bulk to tackle the flaming birds. The fire ability came to him timely.
He viciously looked at the stubborn beasts who still followed him and threw the paperbirds towards them!
After that what followed was a massacre!
He could hear system notifications every second that was a heavenly tune to his ears.
*Congratulations to the host for killing level 1 Flaming sparrow and gaining 5 gene points and 2 system points*

Sam smiled widely as he looked at the scene of carnage. At least for now, the flaming sparrows won't come after him!
He checked his magic watch to find that he had diverted from his original location by more than 1 Kms. In total, he was still 3 km from the military base. Sam knew it was already too late as it would take him more than 3 hours to reach his destination and since the beast tide was moving in that direction, so he would need to face the whole beast tide solo which was practically impossible seeing his pitiful strength! After all, even if he killed an elephant, a horde of ants could still kill him!
This he decided to go the opposite way. He would kill the higher level beast while he left the level 1 beasts for the military!
Sam ran constantly in the jungle, shuttling back and forth the tall grasses and trees.
...
It was already 5 pm and the beast tide was still approaching the outer city at a very fast speed! All those who could be evacuated had already been done!
The sun was almost set. The last red hue was like the last piece of colour in the lives of the citizens who were abandoned.
Some of them sang joyfully for their last time while some held their partners and wept. Some were busy having their last meal while some were busy getting dressed to die with honour.
All were scared to accept death but they had to for their young ones! They needed to be a glorious meat shield to protect the young ones!
The military stood on the high walls with rifles ready to fire any time. The entire city was brightly lit up to overcome the darkness!
The whole city was bustling with activity!
But it was just the prelude to disaster!
