Midrash for Chullin 70:39
דם המת איצטריכא ליה ס"ד אמינא
Is not the inference from this that the blood of a slaughtered animal renders susceptible? - No, the inference to be drawn is that the blood of a slain animal renders susceptible.
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.
