David paid attention to the surroundings using his radar. Serpent Boss and the others had gone out of his radar range. He hoped they were okay. He opened his party list and saw Serpent Boss' name was still white, which meant he was still alive. No red dots came chasing from behind so he figured the enemies were still busy dealing with his comrades.
He then saw a single red dot coming his way, at a very fast speed. Someone was using a steed. He thought about using his steed as well, but he would be easily visible if he did that. After studying the speed of the red dot on his radar, he concluded that the steed was at least a super rare grade. His rare-grade steed won't outrun this enemy.
He opened his map and looked. His position was not that far from where he was asked to go. Should he just use the item here? He preferred to complete his mission without any deviation. So, he stopped, hid, and waited until this red dot ran past him.
