"Whoa, that's genius, and it just might work. Actually if I'm right, with the talent you showed during that sparring session, we can triple the range." Said Hope with clear excitement.


"OK big sis, I'm going to start now. "said Koren as he knelt down and put his left hand on the sand. Koren changed all of his elemental points to earth, and concentrated it on his left.


He then put his right hand, the one with the ultrasonic instrument, on the sand as well. "Here goes nothing." Said Koren as he closed his eyes and started to 'see' the earth. He activated the instrument, as it gave off a ping sound, followed by another after a second, representing the ultrasonic image completed rendering.


"Nice Koren the range was extended, but only by 5 km, you need to concentrate on the earth and leave the radar to me." Said Hope as her form super imposed on Koren.


Koren concentrated only on the earth, and tried to use his earth elemental power to reduce the friction the sound will face when going down.


'...ping...ping...'


"Oh my, Koren we found the caverns. The range this time was 65 kilometers, you did it." Said Hope as she started to jump up and down in glee.


"I can see it Big sis" said Koren as he started to inspect the 3d render of the underground caverns. The caverns were a web of underground tunnels, they seemed endless. Koren noticed a few red dots in some of the tunnels.


"Big sis, are those the locations of the Sand beasts, or the spiritual beasts." Asked Koren looking concerned.


"Not sure, the radar can only differentiate if something is alive or not, we would need more power to activate more sophisticated instruments to detect the exact type of creature. For now we can only try this approach." Replied Hope.


"OK big sis, I can use the earth elemental spiritual power to make myself sink underground, but what if they are stronger than me. I mean, I don't exactly have an advantage when fighting underground." Said Koren


"Don't worry, the Armor will pick up their levels, as soon as we are within a kilometer of them." Said Hope reassuringly.
