Three days later, Chu Mu could get out of bed and walk normally.
He began exploring the tribe known as Bo.
The tribe was built on an enormous tree dozens of meters in diameter, with buildings of all kinds. Some were treehouses built on branches, while others were simply holes carved into the trunk.
