However, if golden eagles were easy to shoot, they wouldn't be so rare. Instead of acting like a reckless brute and shooting directly at the golden eagle with an arrow, Song Xuanren tossed a newly hatched chick he had just hunted up into the air.
Attracted by the chick, the golden eagle dove downward. Song Xuanren drew his bow and nocked an arrow. Just as he was about to release it, his peripheral vision caught sight of a wolf—a wolf about to attack a youth in green. Song Xuanren decisively changed direction, loosing his arrow at the wolf instead.
At the same time, the youth in green shot down the golden eagle. Hearing movement behind him, the youth looked back to see a wolf with an arrow in it, collapsed on the ground. In an instant, the youth understood that the wolf had just been trying to attack him. He turned his head to look at the person who had just saved him.
