Gathering intel from Da Shi along the way, they soon arrived near the other tribe's vicinity.

Zhou Xu, who had been observing their surroundings throughout the journey, felt the changes most profoundly.

After all, as far as the eye could see on their side, there was nothing but dry, desolate land.

But now, as they walked, even though most of the land was still barren, he could clearly sense that the soil quality had gradually moved away from that 'arid' state.

Occasionally, along the way, they could even see patches of stubbornly growing weeds, indicating that the environment was slowly transforming.

"Our camp is just ahead."

Almost at the same moment Da Shi said this, a figure darted past in the distance, looking somewhat disheveled.

At this moment, Da Shi hadn't yet realized that after pledging loyalty to Zhou Xu, his eyesight had been invisibly enhanced by Zhou Xu's 'Evolutionary Leader' Talent.

Before, he definitely wouldn't have been able to see the movement in the distance from this spot, but now he saw it clearly.

"That's someone from our tribe; he probably didn't recognize me."

Da Shi paused here, a flicker of hesitation crossing his face.

"Chief, could you let me go explain the situation to them? It would avoid some unnecessary trouble."

Zhou Xu agreed without a second thought...

"Of course, go ahead."

At this moment, Da Shi felt even more that this God Chosen before him was truly different from their former chief.

Simply put, if it were their old chief, he would absolutely not let him go back.

This was because it was a dangerous move; if he returned to the camp and set up an ambush with the Warriors left behind, they could easily fall into grave danger.

Didn't his new chief consider this possibility?

With such doubts, Da Shi couldn't help but look at Zhou Xu again.

"Chief, aren't you afraid I'll betray you immediately after you let me go?"

"If you intended to betray me, you wouldn't have asked that question."

Zhou Xu found Da Shi to be quite an interesting person.

At the same time, he could see from Da Shi's expression that the latter was not satisfied with his answer.

Thinking this, Zhou Xu's intrigued expression slightly subsided.

"It's simple. If you betray me, I'll just defeat you again."

His simple words revealed the growing assertiveness he was displaying.

"But this time, you won't have another chance to pledge your loyalty to me!"

The meaning behind Zhou Xu's words was unmistakable: he would absolutely not spare traitors.

Traitors who fell into his hands would only meet their end!

Facing Zhou Xu, who unreservedly displayed his personality, his inherent ferocity, and his domineering nature, Da Shi took a deep breath and then unhesitatingly turned and walked towards the tribe camp not far away.

At this moment, his face bore an irrepressible excitement!

It was completely different from their former chief, who was calculating and scheming at heart but pretended to be magnanimous on the surface.

Just now, he had thoroughly confirmed that he had chosen the right person this time!

Da Shi moved quickly. As the former chief of this tribe, his tribesmen couldn't possibly not recognize him.

Upon seeing that it was Da Shi, they clearly breathed a sigh of relief, but at the same time, looking at Zhou Xu and the others further away, they couldn't help but show a hint of confusion in their eyes.

They clearly couldn't understand why Da Shi, who had gone out exploring with the chief, would bring back a group of strangers.

"Let's go back to the camp first."

As Da Shi spoke, he led the way towards the camp. Several Warriors who had stayed behind hesitated for a moment before ultimately deciding to follow.

"Everyone gather over here. I have something to announce!"

Their tribe wasn't large to begin with, so Da Shi's shout could reach the entire tribe camp.

Seeing that all the tribesmen had gathered, Da Shi didn't dawdle and got straight to the point...

"What I'm telling you now is that the chief is dead, and we have now pledged allegiance to a new chief!"

Da Shi's simple and direct words contained an overwhelming amount of information for the tribesmen present.

It was like a series of bombshells, instantly stunning them.

For a moment, they didn't know how to react.

Disbelief at the former chief's death and confusion about the future threatened to drown them.

Finally, one by one, they looked to Da Shi as if he were a life-saving straw.

Sensing the gazes of his tribesmen, Da Shi's heart was filled with complex emotions.

Before the God Chosen descended, he was the chief of this tribe, and he had no objections to the God Chosen becoming the new chief afterward.

However, after that, Da Shi could clearly feel the new chief's exclusion of him.

The tribe members who originally revered and trusted him, now, with each 'miracle' that appeared, had turned to the new chief.

He wasn't a fool and roughly knew why the new chief was doing this, so he silently endured it. As long as the tribe got better and everyone had food to eat every day, this small matter meant nothing to him.

However, regarding these tribe members, after what had happened before, the rift in his heart could never completely disappear.

Now, seeing the tribe members placing their hopes on him again after losing the support of the new chief, Da Shi's heart was unmoved, and his voice was incredibly calm...

"Those who don't want to die, put down your weapons and come out with me to surrender."

Limited knowledge made these tribe members ignorant and lacking in their own opinions, but at this moment, it saved them trouble.

Following Da Shi's wishes, the dozen or so people who remained in the tribe obediently followed him out.

Da Shan, standing in the distance, saw them emerge and instinctively tensed, ready to act at any moment.

Zhou Xu, on the other hand, was much more relaxed.

Through the power of the 'Eye of Insight', he was rapidly confirming these people's five-dimensional panels while also observing their expressions. They didn't seem like they were planning trouble.

"Kneel down, all of you."

As expected, after Da Shi led them to him, he directly signaled them to kneel.

Those people didn't resist either, and a whole group knelt down in unison.

"Chief, I've confirmed with them. They are all willing to surrender."

After confirming the situation, Zhou Xu generously gave Da Shi an approving look.

"Well done, Da Shi. Since these people are all your original tribe members, I'll leave them under your management for now. Then, Da Shan..."

At this point, Zhou Xu was about to turn and call Da Shan to lead the team into the tribe camp before them.

He hadn't expected that as soon as he called out the name 'Da Shan', one of the tribe members kneeling below, startled, quickly responded.

Faced with this situation, Zhou Xu couldn't help but chuckle.

"You're also named Da Shan?"

When asked, the tribe member kneeling below quickly nodded in agreement.

This made him laugh even more.

As for Da Shan, one of the involved parties, he didn't seem too surprised. After all, his name was quite common.

But it piqued Zhou Xu's interest.

"You have the same name. Speaking of which, Da Shan, your name is indeed common. It feels a bit troublesome to call out names in the future. How about I give you a new name?"

Saying this, Zhou Xu pondered for a moment.

"Hmm, Shan, Shan Zhou Chongshan! How do you feel about the name Zhou Chongshan?"
