Midrash for Chullin 70:38

לישמעינן דם שחיטה וכ"ש דם המת

Come and hear: [It was taught:] R'Simeon says: The blood from a wound [in an animal] does not render foodstuffs susceptible to uncleanness.

Sifrei Devarim

"On the earth shall you spill it as water": Just as it is permitted to derive benefit from water, it is permitted to derive benefit from blood — Just as water renders seed susceptible (of incurring tumah), so, blood. Just as water need not be covered, so blood (that of a disqualified offering which has been slaughtered) need not be covered.
