猖狂 is unrestrained, running wild, and it has kept that force in modern Chinese — it is what you call an enemy who is having far too good a time. Bajie is not worried; he is offended.

Sha Monk agreeing in two syllables is characterisation by economy. He does not contradict Bajie, and he does not join in the complaining either — he simply adds what Bajie has left out.

中 is zhōng, inside — the deep cave. The other reading, zhòng, means to hit a target or to be fit for something, and the two are kept strictly apart. 虧了 is thanks to, and it still carries the faint sense of a debt owed; 廝戰 is to grapple, an old word for fighting at close quarters.
