Zachary almost headed there just by the impulse, but he was suddenly pulled back, just in time to avoid being collateral damage to a fast-paced battle of a fortified-level giant arachnid against two fortified-level humans from the Seton Mercenary Team.
One had to know that fights at this level could destroy several meters around them for every attack they made. The young men took advantage of the openings and the collateral damage that was already there, hiding between two toughened level monster carcasses that had just been killed by the two.
It was not much of a hiding place, but they were trying to go in the direction of their own team, and they could only 'switch' covers like this every time they moved several meters just to avoid getting eaten by beasts, slashed by fellow humans, or hit by a stray elemental rock by accident.
