Question

Dashing up and over the monster’s foot, toward the front of the store, I spot what I came for. . . .

What does "up and over" mean in this context?

Answer

I imagine this is no regular foot; it sounds much larger than the subject. So to get over the foot, the subject must first go up. Simply, the subject dashed up the foot; then, the subject dashed over the foot.

Answer

In this context, they are adverbs of place that describe the direction of the dashing. In this case, he dashed up and then over the foot.
