The First Store System

Chapter 1449: Struggle(24)

Philly needed to do something since the sand was growing at a rapid rate. If he didn't do anything, he would be crushed to death as a sandstorm was slowly forming inside the cave as well.

Water calmed the sand down, so he tried to use the basic water skill he had, only to find out that it didn't calm it, but it acted as a positive catalyst, and the sand doubling rate grew even crazier.

Seeing the scene, Philly had no thoughts other than escaping. Even though there was a sandstorm outside as well, it was still safer than facing the storm in such a closed shape.

He immediately ran out, and soon, he was thrown into the air with a rapid force. He activated all the defenses he could at that moment, but they were still not enough, and he hit the mountain with his bare body.

Crack!

Even in the middle of a crazy sandstorm, Philly could hear the sound of his bones cracking.

Groan!

Philly groaned in pain and tried to stand up, but was pushed down by the strong wind. He gave up any attempt to struggle and waited for the storm to pass.

Time flew by, and the sandstorm kept raging for three days and nights. When it finally ended, Philly was in terrible shape.

Numerous wounds adorned his body, with some severe enough to make him unconscious. Fortunately for him, he could use the space ring, so he immediately took out all the recovery-related items he had.

More time flew by, and after completing several challenges, Philly reached the door.

At that time, he had lost his left hand, while a tightly bound cloth held his waist from falling.

Gritting through the pain, Philly reached for the door handle and pushed it inside.

Click!

With a clicking sound, the door was pushed open. Philly forgot about his injuries at that moment as ahead of her, there was an endless mountain of Sacred stones.

As Philly walked inside, he found that the scene he saw from the outside was only the tip of the iceberg.

With a single glance, he saw more than a thousand gigantic mountains of only the ultimate Sacred stone.

Even one mountain had millions of stones, so Phily's eyes turned red from greed as anyone else would feel.

Right at that time, the cloth on his waist slightly moved, causing Philly to scream in pain. He forgot about the stones, and he just screamed in pain.

Blood began to seep out of the cloth as the injury became active again. Philly gritted his teeth to persevere through the pain.

If he didn't find anything related to healing, he would most probably die here. Between death and unlimited Sacred stones, the choice was clear for Philly.

As soon as the thought appeared in his head, the scene of the endless mountain of Sacred stones cracked open like glass, and a new scene replaced that.

At that moment, Philly was present inside a garden filled with various herbs of different types. He seemed to have grabbed a hope of survival, so he walked toward the nearest herb.

When Philly reached the nearest shoot of herb, he couldn't help but become disappointed, finding that the herb was an aphrodisiac. Even though he had never seen the herb before, as soon as he looked at it, he knew everything there was to know about it.

Philly left the herb on its own since he wasn't aware of the issue. What if he could only pick up one herb from the garden, so he remained cautious and kept his search alive.

After several hours of searching when Philly was on the verge of death, he finally found an herb that could help him. It could not only help him but also enhance his defense and vitality.

Philly couldn't help but wryly smile, noticing the coincidence. When he couldn't search for any other herb, the herb turned out to be the one he needed. It was as if someone was playing a joke on him.

The herb in question was a flower with three petals. Each petal was the size of a nail.

Philly plucked one petal and turned it into liquid by pressing it harder. Philly then rubbed that liquid onto his waist injury.

When he untied the cloth, the hideous injury on his waist appeared. If not for the fabric, Philly would have long fallen into two pieces, his lower body being unable to handle the upper body weight.

The petal's liquid worked like a miracle, and wherever it touched, Philly's skin began to regenerate. In no time, his waist was perfectly fine, leaving no scars of injury.

There were still two petals left. Philly plucked out the second one and used the liquid from it on his hand.

With one-half remaining, his hand fully regenerated. He used the remaining half for other grave and small injuries.

When the liquid was exhausted, Philly wasn't very far from his peak condition. Since there was one more petal left, he didn't waste any time and plucked it as well.

As the three petals left the plant, it turned into ash, leaving a hard ground in place of that. Philly focused on the petal instead of that and ate it.

The next moment, a wave of warm energy rushed through his body. In no time, his body condition reached its peak, and soon it began to climb over it. His bones became stronger, and his internal organs started to develop more resilience.

Philly couldn't help but smile when he noticed that the garden was still there, and it didn't throw him out after one pick. Philly then began searching for valuable herbs, and when he picked the third plant(Including healing flower), the scene cracked like glass.
