Contrary to the public's impression, the cases of becoming "lycanthropy" due to acquired lycanthropy disease account for only a very small part of the entire "lycanthropy" group.
A person was bitten by a lycanthropy, infected with the "lycanthropy virus", and mutated into a new "lycanthropy"—this is actually a small probability event.
99% of the victims had no chance to mutate at all, and they were already tortured to death by continuous high fever and sepsis on the first full moon night of the veterinary virus outbreak.
Only a very small number of people with a particularly strong will can survive the intense pain caused by the initial outbreak of the virus, and persist until the end of the full moon night, ushering in transformation and becoming "beastmen".
Joan's academic career started with a paper on "worm disease", and "worm disease" is actually a branch of "lycanthropy". To say it modestly, he is an expert in this field, And he himself is the "1%" who survived and mutated after being infected with "worm disease". He knows how dangerous it is.
In fact, even if you don't know the progress of scientific research in this field, you can use simple reductio absurdum to deduce that people who are bitten by "lycanthropy" are not so easy to become "lycanthropy".
Otherwise, the number of "beastmen" will increase exponentially, and the whole world will be full of "beastmen" long ago. How can ordinary people survive?
There are only a very small number of cases of acquired lycanthropy virus mutations, so how did the vast majority of "lycanthropy" come from?
In fact, just like ordinary people, they are born by their parents—both parents are "beastmen", and the offspring have a high probability of being "beastmen".
The basic form of this kind of natural "beastmen" is different from the acquired "beastmen". They are not humanoid forms, but hybrid forms with animal heads and human bodies.
Since the innate "beastmen" accounted for more than 90% of this group, from a statistical perspective, if there are animalized pirates who become ordinary people and sneak into the "Eagle Island" to engage in espionage activities, then His real appearance is most likely to be that of a "wolf head and a human body", which is the most familiar image of a "sea wolf" among coastal residents.
Starting from this assumption, Joan deployed the flock of birds above the island, and if he found a seemingly normal person who actually had a werewolf face, the other party was probably a spy sent by pirates.
As long as he grasps this clue and follows the clues, Qiao An is sure to find the lair of the Sea Wolf Gang.
The three of them chatted and took a walk, and they came to the most conspicuous tower on the island after a while.
The landmark building "Eagle Tower" of "Eagle Island" is not completely an artificial building, but a mountain that has been hollowed out.
The outer outline of the mountain is well preserved, with dense shrubs and pine forests growing, and huge pit-like caves dug inside, converging upwards to form a hollow conical building, and circles of honeycomb-like eagle's nests are dug out on the inner rock wall. , The top of the mountain is flattened so that the young eagle can get enough light.
The "Eagle Tower" is a military center, surrounded by wooden fences and barbed wire, and there is a guard on patrol. Tourists can only go sightseeing outside the fence and are not allowed to set foot in the restricted area.
Qiao An stood outside the barbed wire and looked at it for a while, feeling that it was meaningless, so she wanted to go back to the pier the same way, when suddenly the girl's reproach came from her ear.
"Abigail! You dishonest guy! A young man who looks honest on the surface is actually full of bad things! Tell me honestly, is it true that you can't take pictures of this lady's beautiful and heroic figure, or are you deliberately trying to capture me? It looks like a sand sculpture!"
"Cousin, I really didn't mean to..."
"Second Lieutenant Abigail! Don't try to get close to me!"
"This... well, Lieutenant Aurora, I respect you from the bottom of my heart, how could I deliberately make you look ugly? It's all because the 'photo mirror' is too bad to capture your true self Heroic."
"Hmph! Mr. Second Lieutenant, I don't think there is a problem with the 'picture mirror'. The problem is that your photography skills are too poor."
"I have nothing to refute. In fact, I didn't want to take pictures for you. You forced me to do a job I'm not good at..."
"Shut up! As an aviation officer, you can't even take pictures of your own sister. Can you still expect you to take accurate and reliable aerial pictures when you are performing reconnaissance missions?"
"Um... but I think taking pictures that please women and taking accurate military pictures are two completely different techniques."
The quarrel aroused the curiosity of Joan, Medea, and Ruby, and they turned their heads to look at the same time.
Just in front of the fence of the "Eagle Breeding Tower", two giant eagles stood facing each other, with red sailor scarves tied around their necks, and they seemed to be officers.
The female giant eagle standing on the left, with her wings akimbo, her eyes full of complaints, was reprimanding the male giant eagle on the opposite side, uttering human words from her mouth, and her voice was as clear and moving as a girl's.
The male eagle, who is being reprimanded by the female eagle, is independent with one claw, holding a round mirror emitting magical aura in his left paw, scratching his head with his wings, looking aggrieved, occasionally defending a few words, but not daring to argue loudly, as if Very afraid of the female eagle.
This kind of quarrel scene between men and women, if placed on humans, is ordinary, but it seems very dramatic when it happens between two giant eagles.
Ruby saw it, and couldn't help sniggering.
When the female eagle heard the laughter, she thought someone was mocking her, so she turned her head and stared at her, scaring Ruby to quickly bow her head.
The female eagle tilted her head to look at Ruby, the anger on her face quickly faded, replaced by a gentle smile, waved her wings, and greeted Ruby.
"Hi~ cute little sister, where are you from?"
"Oh! Hello, Sister Eagle, Ruby and I came from the New World with Brother Joan and Sister Medea."
"My name is Aurora, I was born on this island, and I am very familiar with the environment here, little sister Ruby, if you need a guide, I will be happy to help you." The female eagle said enthusiastically.
Qiao An was manipulating the flock of birds to search the entire island. In order to avoid misunderstandings, she didn't want to mix with this Far Eastern Air Force lieutenant, and was about to politely decline her kindness, but Medea spoke first.
"Ms. Aurora, I overheard your conversation with that Mr. Abigail just now, and I'm curious what the 'photo mirror' you're talking about is exactly."
"This is it."
Aurora snatched the plate-sized enchanted mercury mirror from her cousin's claws, handed it to Medea generously, and enthusiastically introduced her to the usage of the "picture mirror".
"This is the latest product launched by the magic device factory in Fort Colas. It looks like an ordinary mirror on the surface, but you can switch to the camera mode by pressing the switch on the left side of the frame, and the mirror becomes as transparent as glass. You can see the scenery on the opposite side through the mirror, choose a suitable angle, press the switch on the right side of the frame, and the scenery and characters you see can be captured in the mirror and transferred to white paper, just like a fine brush painting detailed picture."
