Due to the nature of the 4th layer, there was no such thing as a safe spot to camp that was maintained by travelers like in the lower layers. A copse of trees that once offered shelter could be shifted kilometers away from any known path and the path itself could vanish!
Thus, when it came to camping, even powerful Immortals had to make do with what they could find.
The mass exodus had been well planned so that the entire group did not all go in the same direction at the same time. It left plenty of room for people to make do on their own schedule while not impeding those that came before.
Lind walked for a week before looking for a place to camp. A solid week of travel was about as much as he could safely pull off with his disguise. A Crystal Tier was powerful in the other layers but in the 4th layer, they were fodder.
