The Daily Life of a Lazy Author Transmigrating into a Book and Doing Nothing

Despite her complaints, Yu Xianxian glanced back at the direction of the Thunder Spider. Fortunately, as Bai Ge had said, that thing hadn't noticed them, and since they were so far away, they should be safe...

Before she could even relax, she saw the round body suddenly make a 180-degree spiral turn, replaced by an equally round head and a pair of shiny black eyes.

Yu Xianxian: ...You can't see me, you can't see me, you can't see me...

But reality is cruel. It seems that God wanted Yu Xianxian to die. However, the next second, Yu Xianxian found that those big, beautiful eyes were fixed on them.

Oh no, we've been found out!

Immediately following was a tremendous commotion behind them, making Bai Ge and Shangguan Huan realize, without even turning around, that something incredible was chasing after them.

As a result, the three of them instantly increased their speed to a new level, each of them rushing forward as if they were riding on wheels of fire.

"Fellow Daoist Bai, aren't you quite skilled at dealing with spirit beasts? Hehe, quickly use the same method you used on the Red Crab on this Thunder Spider. Hehe, maybe that way you can get a spirit beast."

"I've already said that the Thunder Spider is a demon, a demon, and disciples of the immortal sects are not allowed to subdue demons."

"Oh dear, at times like this, don't be so strict about the types of animals. Hehe, since the immortal sect won't allow it, why don't you set a precedent, fellow Daoist? If all else fails, hehe, it's fine not to take it as a spirit pet, as long as, hehe, it doesn't eat us."

"No, I hate spiders, they're disgusting, I can't do it."

"Is your life more important or your preferences?"

"If I have to befriend spiders, I'd rather die first."

Shangguan Huan: ...Okay, he admits it.

"Speaking of which, as a disciple of Peak Master Lingqi, does Young Master Shangguan not have any magical artifacts that can trap it?"

"Trapped this mountain-sized monster? Do I look that powerful to you? Able to forge such a magical weapon?"

"Didn't Peak Master Ling Qi ever give you a spiritual artifact like this?"

"The spiritual artifacts that Master gave us consume too much spiritual energy, and they are all strange and unusual things. None of them can trap spirit beasts."

"Stop talking, save your energy to escape..."

Before Yu Xianxian could finish speaking, a mask tucked into her bosom automatically appeared, seeking its place in the scene.

She was forced to wear a mask again, and the visibility was much worse here. The only good news was that she was running at the back, so the two people in front of her didn't see what happened.

"You mere Thunder Spiders, do you even need to run?"

"Yes, we're novices, so we're certainly not as knowledgeable and powerful as the Demon Lord. So, Demon Lord, are you going to help us?"

"No, it consumes too much magic power."

Yu Xianxian: ...Then what nonsense are you spouting? Please mute your microphone, okay? Just running away is tiring enough, and she still has to chat with you. Isn't that exhausting?

"I heard you cursing at me."

"Oh, really? Sorry, I'll take off my mask and curse you secretly next time."

Si Tu: ...

"I suggest you turn left."

"what?"

Before Yu Xianxian could react, her hands and feet involuntarily turned to the left.

The very next second, a bolt of lightning struck her right. If Yu Xianxian hadn't swerved, she would probably have been hit squarely and turned into a roasted lamb.

"The Thunder Spider can shoot lightning, be careful."

Upon hearing Bai Ge's words, Yu Xianxian's lips twitched. Was it a little too late to say this now?

Fortunately, he managed to dodge the subsequent attacks from the Thunder Spider without any serious harm.

Because the spider was targeting Yu Xianxian, and with Si Tu's smooth maneuvering and powerful divine sense, dodging it was naturally not a problem.

Unexpectedly, the great demon has a "helpful" side, which is truly touching. However, why does she always feel that the way the other party manipulates her body is similar to how she drove go-karts back then?

Finally, after a short while, through their tireless efforts, they reached... a lakeside.

Looking at the boundless lake in front of her, and then back at the Xuanlei Spider that was still relentlessly pursuing her, Yu Xianxian had only two words in her mind: It's all over.

Although she can swim, the lake is so deep you can't even see the top of it. She ran out of energy before she even got halfway there, and besides, she can't swim as fast as she can run. She would be caught up by the spider behind her in no time.

“The Thunder Spider dislikes water. If we can escape to the center of the lake, we might still have a chance to survive.”

Bai Ge looked at Shangguan Huan and asked, "Does Young Master Shangguan possess any magical artifacts that can float on water?"

Using a swimmer would definitely be too late, so Bai Ge could only pin her hopes on Shangguan Huan.

"Yes, it exists, but... never mind."

Shangguan Huan sighed, as if resigned to his fate, and took out a... transparent ball from his storage bag.

He threw the ball into the water, and it immediately grew larger and floated steadily on the lake.

Without a moment's hesitation, Shangguan Huan immediately pulled the two inside, and then... then the three of them started running again, this time on the water, inside the sphere.

"Young Master Shangguan, could you perhaps make a self-propelled vehicle next time?"

“This was not something I made myself, but a gift from my master. He said it was very suitable for playing on the lake.”

Yu Xianxian, who was very familiar with this game: ...Well, I have to say, Ling Qi is quite good at it.

Although the magical artifacts were somewhat childish and inadequate, at least the group had escaped far from the lake. When the Thunder Spider arrived, it could only watch helplessly and furiously unleash lightning on the three people on the lake.

But it was no use, because although the ball looked terrible, it didn't conduct electricity, so even though the lake was full of sparks and lightning, the three of them were fine.

"At least we escaped."

Seeing this, Shangguan Huan breathed a sigh of relief. He hadn't expected that the thing his master had given him, which seemed unreliable, would be so useful at a crucial moment.

"Don't be careless, it's best to leave quickly, after all, who knows if there's anything else at the bottom of this lake..."

Before Bai Ge could finish speaking, the three of them felt a sudden dizziness. When they came to their senses, they realized that a giant fish had lifted them into the air.

Yu Xianxian: ...Goodness, this is another "deep-sea crisis," isn't it?

"Run."

Even so, no matter how they tried to move through the air, and no matter how unwilling they were, they could only watch helplessly as their opponent swallowed them whole.
