Inventory was taken, and the appetite of the Morse Mountains far exceeded that of ten legal mammoths.
Consumption had far outstripped replication.
Even with the newly added Hydora, Sausage Sardines, and Mineral Meat, the deficit was considerable.
The next item to deal with was the core of the Hydora.
A secluded spot was found on the Legal Plateau, and the Hydora's core began to be processed.
These Hydora, through quantitative change, had transformed into qualitative change; their internal cores were no longer water weeds but muscle tissue almost like living organisms.
To supply enough nutrients to sustain their enormous bodies, they mimicked the animals they ate, forming similar organs.
Those versatile water weeds could aggregate to form fins, shells, scales, mouths, teeth, or the claws of land animals and the fur of seals on their periphery.
And they could be converted at will according to need.
Internally, they possessed the most advanced heart power supply system, mimicking the Chordata phylum to create bodily organs other than the brain.
The brain…
It was still too advanced for them.
However, they still had central nervous systems, akin to the cerebellum and brainstem.
"The way this chef prepares these, I feel like a doctor dissecting animals."
Although dissected, Zhang Wei did not collect anything into the Treasure Hall, and the system gave no collection prompt.

But after tasting, their internal organs, blood, and organs were all edible.
And the very core of the Hydora was known as the Ultimate Freshness! Water Weed!
Once this water weed was stripped away, the Hydora would lose its thoughts and soul.
However, its remaining organs would not die but would revert to their original state as seaweed, scattering to the various corners of the ocean, and could revive once more.
[Collection Complete: High-Grade Hydora (Lacking Peripheral Tissues)]
[Replication Time: 140 Days]
…………
All collections were completed, and the replication time was reduced to 70 days.
"No, more Hydora are still needed."
There was no need to rush the missing parts; as long as complete Hydora were collected in the future, it would suffice. Of course, they could also be collected separately; the Treasure Hall's system was quite flexible.
The same ingredient could be replicated through multiple entries.
Legal Mammoth could be one entry, and Gem Meat could be another.
Even if you had a special fondness for geoduck and wanted it as a separate entry, it would have its own independent replication time.
Separating and integrating the entries was just a convenience function; the total quantity remained unchanged, so don't try to exploit this for loopholes.
As for the Legal Mammoth, Zhang Wei felt it was better to focus on Gem Meat, as it was more valuable.
"After my strength improves, there will be many places to attend to, such as the Gravity Well. After the Frost Candy Dragon is dealt with, there are still the Sixfold Yuan Water and above."
"Constructing the ecosystem of the Gourmet Pyramid…"
"Excavating more of Melk's Stars…"
"Exploring other Realms Above the Clouds to find more Ozone Grass…"
"Perfecting the collection of the Gourmet Bank…"
"Cultivating the skill level of the academy chefs…"
"The new Hunter training institution still needs more excellent teachers…"
"Addressing the ever-growing labor shortage…"
"Building materials are also running out…"
"Many refugees need to be cared for…"
"The total amount of ingredients in the Treasure Hall is stretched thin, and it needs rapid expansion…"
"Damn it!"
"There's still a group of people waiting for me on Drunken Island. Although Elder Mo is in charge, I should still go and see for myself!"
