The content of the comics, most likely, is not entirely correct, after all, this is only part of the clues of the lost world.

Leon believes that all the tentacles come from starfish, and there are other considerations,

For example, in the content of the comics, the details of the priest's body and the way he eats are depicted;

analysis of tentacle cell components;

the structural shape of the tentacle itself;

and, most importantly, the exploration of energy pipelines and the tentacles themselves.

In order to explore energy pipelines, the hive has deliberately evolved several small insects with agile movements, small drills installed on their heads, and can dig and explore in complex terrain, use sound waves to detect locations, and assist brain worms in drawing maps.

The bugs burrowed into the energy pipes and found the periphery of the edge of the lost world, wrapped in a ring of giant tentacles.

These tentacles are firmly imprisoned in the walls by a pile of extremely strong metal devices of a scale comparable to a spectacle,

Through the extraction system composed of syringes, oil production wells, hydraulic valves, filters and other equipment, the amber-like energy inside the tentacles is continuously extracted.

Through pipes buried in the ceiling and walls, it is transported to various parts of the lost world.

Robots, security guards, builders, and quite a few pieces of lost world equipment that haven't been destroyed or transformed by the builders,

All of these things are used in amber energy, or purified products of amber energy.

It is believed that before the collapse of civilization in the Lost World, the indigenous people of the Lost World were consciously imprisoning and using tentacle creatures - the evidence of this is the dried up pipes of potent tranquilizers and muscle relaxants buried in the ceiling and walls.

Just like obtaining bear bile, the whole process of harvesting and utilizing energy is cruel and efficient.

Considering the words and deeds of the characters in the "When the Stars Return to Their Places" series of comics, the storyboard layout of the comics has always had a strong theological color, and the character of the priest has always appeared as a positive image, and after turning into a monster at the end, he is still worshiped by the survivors,

Combined with the information observed by the hive, all this is very intriguing.

Starfish are both mundane beings and mutated monsters,

As a savior hero, a god who accepts boundless worship,

He is also a prisoner of the ranks, who has to endure unimaginably long skinning and blood drawings—and even completely losing his individual will for it.

As for the source of matter and energy for the distorted starfish, according to the hive's estimates, it is likely to be geothermal or underground magma - the further down the tentacle, the thicker the tentacle and the higher the temperature.

"You should, feel it,"

The Hive Tyrant's voice was low and muddy, "The recovery speed of divine power is slowing down..."

As if to confirm the words of the hive tyrant, the tentacles that make up the body of the desolate lion twitched without coming,

The desolate lion's forelimbs involuntarily went limp, staggering and almost falling to the ground.

"What did you do?!"

The roar of the desolate lion echoed throughout the level, crushed by the blue-gray divine power.

Leon swung his bone blade and sliced through the divine power, and the mouthparts more complex than ordinary insects made a clicking sound of hitting each other.

Shortly after the player arrives in the Lost World, the shaking of the Lost World, or the breaking free of the distorted starfish, begins.

It may be due to disrepair, the confinement system loses its effectiveness,

It could also be the appearance of the player, disturbing the sleep of the aberrant starfish,

Or the magma deep underground changes,

In short, according to the original design of the killing game system, the aberrant starfish should have completely completed the escape within one hundred and sixty hours - a total of fifty-six layers of the lost world, which vibrated every three hours,

The tentacles on the upper floors broke free and crushed the topmost floor.

The appearance of exotic players such as the Wild Lion and the promotion of the ritual only promoted the process.

Now that you know the awakening of the aberrant starfish, and you are not under the control of the desolate lion,

The activity of the starfish's tentacles also mainly comes from biological instinct, rather than real-time manipulation by the wild lion.

Leon proceeded to further experiments by ingesting a large amount of amber fluid, confirming that it was the source of divinity, and attempting to communicate with the starfish.

Starfish have an eye at the end of each brachiopod, and the distorted starfish is no exception.

After confirming that the eyesight of the aberrant starfish was not inferior to that of humans, Leon asked the hive units to form various formations at the end of the brachiopods.

and dispatch hive units to burrow into the brachiopods and puncture the neuronervous system.

The result is unresponsive - that is, the aberrant starfish not only has no vision, but has lost control of the ends of its limbs,

The same is true of the desolate lion that seems to have taken over the distorted starfish.

After getting the above information, Li Ang further divided the upper echelon of the assembled hive army into more than fifty branches.

Pumping energy from all tentacles,

A large amount of amber liquid is extracted.

Moreover...

The desolate lion only felt that his limbs suddenly weakened, and his originally almost endless divine power suddenly became much scarcer.

Michael on the side instantly grasped the flaw, and the sword of flame slashed with flames, shattering the barrier of divine power of the desolate lion, and tearing a long and deep gap on the latter's tentacle body.

"Roar!!

The desolate lion roared sideways, and the still vast divine power condensed into a sound wave visible to the naked eye, shocking Michael,

At the same time, David, who was waiting for an opportunity to move and trying to sneak attack, was directly shocked into the wall, and was quickly grabbed by the tentacles in the wall and buried.

Still dissatisfied, the desolate lion turned his mouth toward Leon.

Buzz –

Before the roar came, the air was the first to shake,

The hive tyrant held his bone blade horizontally in front of him, his feet extending out dense barbs that dug deep into the soil.

At the same time, the fumaroles behind it spew out a dark blue flame, ready to provide thrust at any time.

Zheng!

The blue-gray divine power collided with the bone blade, like a stream of water meeting the reef, slashing to both sides.

The Hive Tyrant was hit by the divine power of the aberrant starfish, and his huge body retreated backwards like a leaf in the wind.

His feet ploughed two long tracks on the ground, and the vents on the tyrant's body even showed that he had taken in too little oxygen because he was moving too quickly.

Puff –

On the body of the hive tyrant, the chitin armor twisted and deformed, bent and wriggled like a snake,

It is the result of being affected by the distorted divine power.

The talent in the distance did not dare to slack off, and posed, grabbing the power of faith at the same time, throwing ice crystals at the desolate lion to cover the hive tyrant.

Four, three, two...

Calmly and covertly, Leon distributed the swamp divine power evenly throughout his body to resist the effects of distortion, while silently counting the numbers in his heart.

One.

At the moment when the countdown ended, the communication network of the hive reverberated with Leon's will.

Plan execution.

Rumble!

The tentacles of the entity that had originally fallen in the corner of the V-shaped ice wall created by Ju Tian's use of Xuan Ying Divine Power suddenly trembled, and a large number of objects seemed to wriggle under its spiny skin.

The nervous system of starfish is generally scattered and does not form ganglia or nerve centers.

This means that as long as the neural circuit between the brachiopod and the nerve center is severed,

and then send a large number of hive units (which need to contain Leon's divine power to prevent assimilation) into the nervous system of the aberrant starfish and release regular nerve signals.

can block the control of the wild lion on the tentacles,

Anti-guest-oriented, one-on-one by the hive, command and control of a certain one, and even all brachiopods...

Crackle –

The physical tentacles that parasitized hundreds of thousands of hive units were like rag dolls in human hands,

In the shocked and stunned gaze of the desolate lion, he staggered to his feet and smashed down.
