"Magi, Magi have arrived!" Shen Rui's shouts suddenly came from above Cao Tai's head, followed by the sound of rapid running.

The door to the basement was forcefully pushed open, and the metal door slammed into the wall, producing a loud bang.

"Young master!" "Run, young master!" Shen Rui's voice had never been this panicked before.

"What happened?" Cao Tai stood up from the bed and asked nervously.

"A Magus, a Magus is coming!" Shen Rui rushed over and held Cao Tai's hand.

"The foreign wizards?" Cao Tai asked in shock, "Didn't they already get eliminated by Ding Ling?" Although he had been hiding in the dark underground room for the past month, he still knew that Ding Ling had successfully exterminated the Black Tower Magus.

"What happened up there?" Having lost his eyes, Cao Tai could only sense what was happening in the distance through the sound of his voice.

"Yi!" A secret door in the basement was opened.

"Young Master, there is a secret passage here, let's go from here!" Shen Rui pulled Cao Tai's hand and was about to run forward, but Cao Tai stopped.

"Regarding the secret passage, Shen Rui had never mentioned it to Cao Tai before. Young Master, "Shen Rui anxiously stomped his feet," I will explain to you about the secret passage after we escape.

But Cao Tai still did not move, "Your wife and children are still up there! Don't you care about them? "

It was only then that Shen Rui realized that in Cao Tai's world, "Wang Yi" still had a nagging wife and a "son" who was still in primary school.

"Ignore them!" If we don't leave now, we won't be able to! " Shen Rui was unable to explain to him that his "son" did not exist, and his "wife" was a trusted aide that Ding Ling had sent to help him. Above their heads, there was that woman helping him fight against a mage. However, she would not be able to hold on for long. Magi and humans were on two completely different levels.

Whether it was that woman or Shen Rui himself, it would not be a pity if they died. Cao Tai was an important chess piece for Ding Ling to take the first step forward. No matter what, Shen Rui had to keep Cao Tai's life.

"Young master!" Let's go! "

Cao Tai hesitated, he who was in the past would definitely not hesitate about such things, what was the life of a servant? Nothing was more precious than himself. But in this one month, Cao Tai learned a lot, and it was also during this month that he felt that he had flesh and blood living — even though all of these were fake.

"Your wife and children are still …" Shen Rui could easily give up, but the current Cao Tai could not make such a cold and emotionless decision.

"I can't care so much anymore!" Shen Rui's tone of voice suddenly changed. He could no longer play the role of the obedient "Wang Yi." If Cao Tai died here, then everything would become meaningless.

The hand that was pulling Cao Tai suddenly increased his strength, and did not give Cao Tai any more free time to hesitate, Shen Rui dragged Cao Tai and entered the secret door.

"Young Master," Shen Rui gritted his teeth and said, "Don't blame me, I did all of this to save you!"

Cao Tai was dragged behind by Shen Rui. He did not know where the tunnel behind the secret door would lead to, nor did he know what was going on outside. Under Shen Rui's control, he blankly ran inside the tunnel.

The sounds of explosions were also getting farther and farther away from him.

"Damn it!" Shen Rui, who was walking in front, suddenly cursed.

"What's wrong?" Cao Tai immediately asked.

"No, nothing." Shen Rui did not dare to tell Cao Tai about the current situation. He said, "Let's rest here for a while. I don't think the Black Tower Magi will be able to discover us." They hadn't run far. In theory, they weren't out of danger yet.

"Is the tunnel blocked?" Cao Tai asked.

Shen Rui did not speak.

"The tunnel was shattered by the explosion, wasn't it?" Cao Tai asked again.

"Young master, don't worry, this place is very secretive. Magi will not be able to discover us." By saying this, Shen Rui was undoubtedly admitting Cao Tai's guess.

"We're finished, we're finished." Cao Tai slumped onto the ground. He hugged his head and used his hands to pull his hair.

"Young master, nothing will happen to you. I won't let you die!" Shen Rui comforted his.

"You left the door open when you ran, didn't you?" Cao Tai raised his head and asked.

Shen Rui was stunned. He had only wanted to quickly take Cao Tai away, and did not think of this problem. If a Magus were to enter the basement, he would immediately see the secret door. At that time, they would be forced into a corner and they would be at the mercy of others.

"No, it's alright," Shen Rui's voice trembled a little. "The basement is very secretive, these Magi will leave if they can't find someone up there."

"That's a Magus." Cao Tai shook his head, "We are finished."

Shen Rui suddenly crawled over from Cao Tai's side.

"What are you doing!" Cao Tai reached out and pinched the corner of Shen Rui's clothes.

"I need to go back and close the secret door." Shen Rui whispered.

"Wang Yi, are you crazy?" Cao Tai wanted to advise Shen Rui not to do such a foolish thing. At this time, there was a high chance that he would run into the Magi who had come to attack him.

"Enough, enough!" Cao Tai did not dare to shout loudly. He hugged Shen Rui's waist from behind to prevent him from doing anything foolish.

After Shen Rui shook Cao Tai off, he used both hands and feet to quickly crawl back the way he came.

Cao Tai followed along.

Shen Rui stopped, used his leg to kick Cao Tai, who was following him, wanting to stop him.

"Wang Yi, I can't just watch you go back and die!" The Cao Tai one month ago would definitely not say such a thing.

"Your life is much more precious than mine. My death is worth it." Shen Rui clenched his teeth and spoke in a low voice.

Suddenly, from outside the passage came the sound of footsteps. Someone had already entered the basement.

"Listen up," Cao Tai suddenly grabbed onto Shen Rui's shoulder. "I'm already a cripple.

"Wang Yi," Cao Tai said seriously, "I want to tell you an important secret. I beg you, please keep this secret alive!"

Cao Tai kneeled down towards Shen Rui: "I beg you, Wang Yi, let me die, I will let you carry the Cao family's fate, live on!"
