Neither.

I can't think exactly what you are trying to say.

"...my feet rushed instantly me to the room" is wrong. To me, the first one sounds correct.

GPY · Answer

The word order at the end of the second sentence would have to be "rushed me instantly" or "instantly rushed me". Otherwise, both sentence endings are possible, but they seem like colourful or humorous language, and are not the plain way of describing that action (which would be just "I rushed instantly to the room", or something like that).

The first part of the sentence is not correct. "from the distance" should be "from a distance" (this is a set pattern of words). Also, "watch" means to look at something steadily over a period of time, usually because it is moving/changing or expected to do so. This verb does not work with "The moment...". Perhaps you mean "The moment I caught sight of the room from a distance...".

The moment I entered the house, my feet rushed instantly and intuitively to the room exactly where the treasure was placed.

The moment I entered the house, my feet rushed me instantly and intuitively to the room exactly where the treasure was placed.

I want to use the "feet" as action word instead of using walking or running in the above sentences. The main reason for writing such sentence was to be more expressive similar to the people who use such expressive action words while narrating a story.
