The reason why Zhao Hai distributed the rewards to these people was not an unnecessary move. Instead, he wanted to establish his leadership position in these people's hearts. When he distributed the rewards, these people would naturally think that he was the leader. It would be more convenient for Zhao Hai to command them in the future.
Everyone rested for two more days after they had finished distributing the loot. Zhao Hai then gathered them together. He had been observing the situation of the Outlander demons for the past two days. The mountain that Zhao Hai was heading to was surrounded by the Outlander demons. If it weren't for Cai's protection, the Outlander demons would have already occupied the entire mountain.
